I have to say the presidio 2 is a nice looking case though. I do feel like I’m just not very excited for cases this year but that’s probably just me lol.
If you take a piece of an old dbrand skin and cut it to size to fit on the iPhone’s buttons, then put the presidio case on, it makes the buttons feel better when pressing them.

Unfortunately, I believe it is a one time discount code that Stacey used, but if not, please send it to me too 😝

my only problem with the spigen protectors is i have a hard time getting ahold of the little tab to peel back the protective sheet. last year and again this year i wasted the first one by disarranging the actual glass struggling to peel off the cover. success on number 2. once it’s on, my 14pm lasted all year looking and feeling good. i just buy 2 boxes. i honestly prefer the amfilm protectors because they ship with a full screen sized dust sticker. really easy to get a dust free install. i place the dust sticker over the screen, rub down and then don’t remove until i have peeled back the sheet on protector. but i don’t think they last as long as spigen’s. when they go on sale i actually buy 1 or 2 for the dust sticker. i tried to find full screen sized dust stickers on their own but couldn’t.
The Amfilm were on sale a few days ago. I got a pack for $6.35 total. I love their screen protectors.

How's the back? Is it slippery like a hard shell ?
It’s got some grip to it on the speckled fabric for sure. I haven’t felt like it slips out of my hand at all. I’m super weird about the cases I use. I was going to return this when the bullstrap cases start to ship and as long as it doesn’t fall apart before then, I’ll be keeping this all year.

Personally I think so but I know others are opting to keep them. Here’s what mine looked like after some light pressure with my nails. I did the same pressure to my 14PM Apple leather case and they came right off with a wipe. The FineWoven scratches are permanent.
Wow, gotta wonder how that got through quality control.

I figured it was. Still trying to decide if I want a sheath or synthesis then I’ll order 😝
You can’t go wrong with either case. The inside of the Sheath have that soft felt inside and is a little thinner than the Synthesis. They’re both sturdy and tight fitting cases. Even with the cut out for the action button, it don’t interfere with pressing the button.

How’s drop protection on the Sheath / Synthesis?

Everything else seems good about them, but I haven’t read enough online about them being able to handle drops.

Thanks

Does your camera seem pretty protected in the Benks?

Doesn’t seem like the Mous protects the camera all that well (3 sides).

Edit: so maybe the 15 Pro Max has 4 edges raised for camera protection, but the 15 Pro one only has 3?
I’d say pretty well, about the same as the one I had on my 14 pro.

I’ve dropped mine a few times in both cases and sustained no damage to my iPhone. I have a very amount of scuffs on the edge of my cases from drops.

No issues with mine. First install wound up perfect. A couple very small bubbles but was able to work them out with the provided tool. I applied the protector the moment I peeled the white sticker off the phone.

Maybe they had a bad batch go out?
That's the trick. I get a perfect install every time I apply it directly after taking off the white sticker out the box.

Has Anyone purchased the rhinoshield crash guard or Mod NX? Looks like a nice bumper case when i need some protection (will be going caseless 90% of the time)

I'm waiting on Phone Rebel and dbrand

Skipping Caudabe this year due to the action button cutout. Surprising to see them selling that crap even though you can get a "complimentary" replacement if purchased and requested by a certain date
