i don't think i'm willing to buy two cases to get a different color set of buttons. i wonder if Otterbox will think it worthwhile to start selling different colored buttons...

if and when a reasonable sale occurs for the XS model (thin design), i'm torn between getting the Dark Green (Ivy Meadow?) and Black. Dark green is one of my favorite colors, yet i have almost always had a black phone case.

@Hooterville .. hows the lense protection on Symmetry Vader compared to Black Symmetry.

Wow. Just got this no-name brand in from amazon and this case isn’t wide at all and feels best of all so far. Impressed for $9.

Not sure it will beat the speck grip and Mujjo leather but as far as a value case this is it.

The other two cases don’t get here until tomorrow

Not much of a lip but has the little raised feet to keep the screen for touching.

I guess that pad and quill leather case is closest to the iPhone 5s leather case we all miss. But with all the seams.

Why cant someone just make a slim leather case with a bottom.

Using the apple leather today and open bottom kills me.

That Pad and Quill case is interesting, but it kinda looks like a mix between moccasins and Sanuk shoes. I might have to do some research on it. Any experience? The more pictures I see of it, the more I'm leaning towards purchasing it.

Whenever I see someone posting a picture of their Forest Green Apple leather case, it makes me want to put mine back on. The color is so beautiful.

Just put my pitaka mag pro on for a change of pace.

Looks good .. What case is that? Is it lifting the screen protector on right bottom ??

I have not Had the opportunity to handle it. However, there’s a YouTube video of the making of it. That was pretty interesting and the first place I saw it.

Naw. That’s my crappy icarez 2.5d that I got last week. It won’t adhere. The first one I installed had huge bubbles I couldn’t get out after 2 days and this one I thought went on perfect but the sides on the right side, top and bottom, won’t adhere properly.

The case is linked in my previous post to the pics.

sorry to hear about your Icarez issues. i had a problem with one of mine and emailed them. they immediately sent me a new kit. i have those two extra waiting in the wings because the 2nd one in my kit installed ok...several bubbles that i couldn't initially get rid off but i rubbed my fingers raw until i was left with three small ones. 24 hours later, i was able to rub out 2 of the 3 and now 2 weeks later, i have one very tiny one. (i'm pretty sure its not dust...but thankfully, its hardly noticeable unless i am really looking for it)

I may email them for some back ups. I just ordered these yesterday because my OCD can’t stand the no adhesion.

i had both adhesion and bubble issues with my first one but only bubbles on the second one that were mitigated by my hard work and waiting.

hope they can do you right...

I got home and my solid suit said hey there buddy! Missed you! Give me another shot. So here I am. Sometimes it feels like it has more grip than the Sheath because it’s softer on the back and sides. Hopefully that makes sense. And these buttons. These glorious glorious buttons. I could have used these buttons during a 4 hour meeting today. I tried to fiddle with the Sheath buttons but they are not nearly as much fun. And of course the pop of red is a big plus.

**** meant to quote hooterville but gimme your yellow buttons! Lol

I want to try the micro fiber Slippery

My coworker ordered the brushed steel SolidSuit, and I can’t wait to feel the buttons that everyone is raving about.

One day in my jeans and that yellow rubber was turning blue. I sent it back.

Same here. I’ve given it another go. Maybe I’m just getting used to it but the more it’s on the more I’m liking it. Definitely feels solid.

Back to the sheath from the apple leather.

The apple leather is more premium with better buttons.

The sheath has a better grip and protects the bottom.

Now if I could only get them to mate and make the perfect case.

If you like the solid suit and can live with the width, it’s great. Love the feel of my microfiber.

It's about the same. For some reason the Vader case seems thinner.

 

[THE JUICEMAN]

Something else that I’ve noticed is that the edges of the solid suit are further away from the edges of the screen. Top and bottom too. This allows for easier swipes.

Back and forth between green Symmetry and black oak slippery suit
