So I'm thinking about returning my Mous Limitless, the Apple Clear I bought, and the Synthesis.

I've either been using caseless or with the Sheath if I need something.

The Limitless and Synthesis are both on my radar.

What didn’t you like about them?

Pre-ordered the Fine Woven cases along with a 15 and 15 Pro Max. Luckily - took a look at the cases before picking them up inside the store and decided 'NO' - the SO was of the same opinion. Weird feeling - like slippery but dry.

The Apple store employee who handed us our phones did his best to convince us the cases were good. 'Give them a chance, take them home and you'll like them' he said but we cancelled the FW orders. He then tried to fear monger us into buying the cases by saying 'you don't know what will happen to the phone while you're deciding other cases' - we laughed at him and walked out

Went home, got some Mujjo cases in Burgundy and Monaco Blue for 15 and 15 Pro Max - and they have been fine. Was worried about the Mujjo buttons not aligning but honestly the Mujjo feels far closer to the Apple leather cases than the FW ones.

Might consider a Nomad leather case down the road, but for now happy with the Mujjo

Picked up a Pacific Blue FineWoven case to go with my natural titanium 15PM. Due to the negative reviews of this I went to an Apple Store to look at this before buying. I’ve used this for 3 days now and I like it a lot.

I prefer to use clear cases so I will be ordering a Dbrand Ghost case soon. So I will likely switch between the FW and the dbrand case.

For my GF, I got her the pink Otterbox Lumen for her blue titanium 15PM.

I've ended up with a Pitaka case for my 15PM. I also have a Torras MagSafe thin shell which is nice enough, but feels a little cheap (because it is). I had a FineWoven case which I initially quite liked (and posted positive things about earlier in this thread!), but once I actually fitted it to the phone it added too much bulk, which given the durability concerns made it hard to justify (I'll take bulk if it means lasting protection!).

In the end I took the FineWoven back to Apple and spent the money on a Pitaka. It's not going to offer much in terms of drop protection, but it looks and feels great, and the MagSafe performance is excellent.
Which pitaka did you go for? Would you mind sharing some pics of it?

I bought 6 cases and ended up keeping 2 Apple Silicone and the Torras thin case. Love the Torras but it feels a little slippery in the hand.

Anyone with the decoded case know if the metal rim around the camera chips? That’s one off the main problems I had with the andar aspen.
Here is my decoded case from my 13 pro after almost 2 years of usage. I've dropped this phone, accidentally scraped it on countertops, etc and it still looks near perfect.

Just ordered the Torras Magnetic Guardian:


Still waiting on the Sheath and Ghost, and have been using a Gripmunk in the meantime, but the gap in the bottom USB-C cutout of the Gripmunk is driving me crazy haha.

The Torras one looks pretty good from what I can tell. Ordered the black version for my natural titanium 15PM. Would've loved to get the gray version, but I hate that they went with a white circle for MagSafe instead of just matching it to the rest of the case.

I sent mine back today, firstly it was so hard to take off the phone, plus I didn't like those protruding buttons either.
Settled on the Apple clay silicon case for the time being.

Cheers all
I got a Mujjo too, and had the same concern about the buttons sticking out too far and was thinking about returning it. However, I just spent a few minutes pressing them in without the phone in the case and it seems to have helped quite a bit. Going to give it a shot as I don't see a great alternative.

Clear cases are a dime a dozen, but I’ve always had great luck with elago, so got theirs this year. Waiting on a Taupe FineWoven that arrives Tuesday but I think I’ll end up returning it. My friend who works at the Apple Store showed me some pictures of an out of the box Taupe and it was 5x darker than on the picture, and the material looked too cloth-like for my taste. Will see in person if it changes.

Does the elago clear case feel bulky?

I had an elago silicone case for my iPhone 12 and I loved it - high quality, slim profile. I bought the elago silicone MagSafe case for iPhone 15 Pro and it feels rather bulky...

Yea, I got my phone just fine. I'm broke as a Church Mouse and trying not to go too crazy with cases this year.
I only have a couple so far and a few more on my radar.
I will post some pictures of the ones I have and a few more that I'm thinking about getting.
Sorry......
No worries brother. Was just looking to see what you had in your arsenal.

Been rolling since Friday like this. Black Otterbox Symmetry with MagSafe (Fantastic Case), the back is slippery but everything else is perfect. This case is slim, thin and feels great in the hand.
No butt plug or metal camera protector thingy but do have them on deck and ready to go.
Spigen GlasTR screen protector installed the second I peeled off the factory screen covering.
Waiting on my RealTree version so I can get those traffic cone orange buttons for my case. Here are a couple pics:

Highly recommended -
Meifigno Magic Mag case from Amazon. The case is 10 dollars, it’s one of the best feeling and best quality cases I’ve tried!
It’s got a nice soft touch feel very similar to Apple Silicone but not grippy but much smoother. Fits very snug and metal buttons are very responsive (button for action button too). MagSafe magnet is nice and strong and got a nice matte minimalistic look.

I also bought a fine woven case but there’s no way that case is worth 60 dollars. Returning it

You sold me on this case - getting the white 15Pro so I went with the grey version. Also have the Ringke Fusion Matte Clear. The Dbrand Ghost is on order and I'm trying to decide between the Storm Blue or Clay Apple Silicone while I wait for the Product Red version which is typically my primary case. I am trying to be pickier with my case purchases this year as I always tend to collect a drawer full that I never use.
