The Black silicone Apple case is £39 on Amazon, £10 cheaper than the Apple store. Is this legit? Why is Amazon selling it £10 cheaper?
I know people have complained about Amazon having a lot of fakes, is it safe to buy it from Amazon?
Completely safe

I’ve been meaning to post my Native Union case for the 15 Pro Max. I wanted something bold this year and changed from normal Caudabe to Native Union and super happy I did. Awesome looking case and it feels amazing. I love Caudabe cases but they can be dull.

After a day, the Nomad leather case is a bit thick for me. Nice and all, though.

Ordered a Pitaka MagEZ 4, Torras slim fit, and Spigen Ultra Hybrid Magfit. We’ll see which plasticky case sucks less.
Update to this post. Again, I returned my Nomad case (after a $5 restocking fee and $10 for return shipping, ouch) because it was much thicker than I expected, though the rubber and leather combo worked quite well stylistically and functionally.

The Torras OriginFit was fine, a bit flimsy, but fit well and looks decent. I worry that this case wouldn't protect well in a drop, or if it did, an edge would crack upon impact. Buttons feel premium and the Action button has a little divot for easy locating. MagSafe magnet isn't as strong as expected, definitely not as much as the Apple cases.

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid Magfit is a very nice case, moreso than expected. While I'm not a huge fan of clear cases, I could definitely see myself using this case as my primary. Buttons are plenty clicky, not too mushy because of the case overlay buttons. Definitely would protect your phone from a fall. MagSafe is pretty strong, nearly on-par with Apple's cases.

The Pitaka MagEZ 4 is the slimmest and most premium-feeling of the bunch, and though the matte carbon/Aramid fiber is wonderful to hold, it collects fingerprints like crazy (which appear white-ish at first). Super thin and I worry a bit (similar to the Torras) that my phone wouldn't be entirely protected in the event of a drop. I like the cutouts for the buttons and charging ports, though again one wonders about protection. When face-down on a surface, the glass screen protector I have on the phone is nearly up against the surface - that is to say, the case lip is very small. On the other side, when face-up, the cameras are well-protected by a larger plastic surround (larger lip vs the front side).

Style wins here for me, especially since AC+ repair costs are $29 for front/back glass. I'll probably keep the Pitaka MagEZ 4 unless the fingerprint thing bothers me too much.

Okay, Mous Aramid Fiber with the 15 Pro Max in it. I love the looks of this case but the fingerprint/smudge/grease marks on the back are a total bummer for me. Also the inside lip that goes around the phones display is VERY SHARP (JerryRig Blade Sharp) and I'm worried that this will scratch the delicate finish of my black titanium after removing and installing it a few times. I'll be jumping back into my good ole Symmetry case ASAP ;)

Here are a couple quick pics:

I'd buy that case in a heart beat if it didn't have the company text across the back of it. A small logo, sure, but not that. A shame.

Got the (Re) Classic case and a magsafe wallet from Native Union. I really like the material, texture, and the aesthetics. My only complaint is that the magsafe doesn’t feel very strong. Tried to attach the wallet to apple’s silicone case and it’s much more firmly secured than with the case from Native Union themselves.

Weird. I don't have this issue with my Native Union yellow case. Magnets are super strong

Yikes I hope this is just a glitch and they don’t ship me an Amethyst sheath, if they do, caudabe will forever lose me as a customer 🙄

I get it. It's not for everyone. I personally don't mind depending on the type of logo it is. I don't mind the Native Union logo. To each his own 🤷‍♂️

So harsh!
Knowing them they would just have you keep it and they would send the correct one at no cost.
You're right, I reacted too quick, I wouldn't be able to shun them forever for making a mistake 😂
I'm sure they wouldn't make me send it back and would just correct their mistake free of charge! Caudabe does seem like the kind of company to do the right thing.

Who knows, maybe the Amethyst would look good on the white 15 PM.. Just not really my style.

Amazon often discount the official Apple cases and it’s quite normal. As long as you’re buying directly from them and not a market place seller you should be fine.

I’m so tempted by this. It’s been on my list a few days. The side buttons tho look a little off centre or is that just me?

All these comments about sharp edges on the Mous, plus the fact that I didn't love the case when I had it on my 12 PM, made me decide to cancel my order. Now I'm not sure where to go. Casetify seems too expensive. Seems like the next best option would either be the Benks Armor Pro or the Pitaka MagEZ Pro, but honestly I'm not super impressed with Benks and I read some people found the seam between the kevlar and the front part of the case on the Pitaka was sharp too. Gah, I just don't know which case would work best.

I’m with you!

What did you not like about the Mous on the 12 PM (I hope I didn’t already ask that)?
