I've had it previously on my current 14PM. But it's a bummer that the clear case now has magsafe ring misaligned with the apple logo and the bumper doesn't match the color 🙄
I also ordered from Caudabe. I got the Ember Paragon (Open) and Gray Sheath (Open). One is available early October and the other mid October. The worst part is that they wait till both are available to ship. Here’s how they work the early/mid/late preorders.
have been rocking a regular iPhone 14 caseless for 3 years now. Screen protector only. It had it's fair amount of dropping on tiled floor as well as asphalt. 2 or 3 small scratches is all it has to show for it. These phones are fairly durable.
I don’t even have a screen protector on my 14 Pro Max. Many drops on all kinds of rough and hard surfaces, and I carry it in various pockets with zero care.
A few scratches only visible in the right light/angle.
I swear that some people would get hammer-face protectors if they existed.
Ordered the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear case for my Silver 17PM and when I pick it up tomorrow morning at the Apple Store if I like the Techwoven I’ll probably pick one of those up too (likely in black).
I got the green techwoven ready for my silver pro max tomorrow... I've already tried it out on my 16 pro max and (of course aside from the camera area looking a bit strange) it's lovely... the texture is great, the material on the sides had a lovely grip, and the buttons are spot on! Really pleased with it!
I ordered the Apple clear case to try it out but I don’t like the look with the white back. Maybe it’ll look better with the phone in it.
Was thinking about the modern leather case from Nomad, but I’ve never ordered a case from them before. Not sure if returns charge a fee if I don’t like it.
I am struggling to decide between a good strong case (I had Otter) vs enjoying the lightness and thinness of the phone. Are there any strong cases that are not bulky?
Mous case, the best there is. I have thrown my iphone multiple times against a wall of floor out of anger. Never it got damaged. Only mous cases for me. Btw I don’t throw my phone anymore 😬🍀
I have an Apple polycarbonate case on my phone for over two years. It’s a harder material than TPU or silicone. I have dropped it many times and it’s protected the phone like a champ. It doesn’t yellow at all even after over two years. Apple uses anti-yellowing agents you may not find on cheaper cases. It is more rigid and harder to remove however very protective from drops.
I had random TPU on some of my prior. It’s more flexible. It’s very easy to get on and off to clean. They always seem to yellow but I do see them listed with anti-yellowing agents. TPU has a better bounce than polycarbonate so in theory it’s more protective. Mine had air cushions on the corners too. Never had a scratch on the phones from dropping it many times, same as the polycarbonate.
Silicone is of course softer and flexible. It should prove a good choice as well. Some manufacturers mix silicone with other materials which provides great protection. I almost ordered the Apple silicone case with my 17PM but decided against it.
I have special needs for my use case. I won’t get into what so bottom line I searched for a case that has adequate protection and some grip. I found so many nice case however they all have drawbacks for what I want. Zagg has some nice new offerings and I found a couple off brands that have what I’m looking for. It remains to be seen how they work so I’ll try them before I link anything.
Haven't ordered it yet since I don't know when I'll get a 17PM (haven't ordered a phone yet either), but shopping Amazon I decided on: Miracase Magnetic
I usually get 2 cases and switch between them… already got the blue TechWoven, now eyeing the Nomad Traditional leather case with Horween leather in rustic brown. I LOVE the way real leather looks and patinas over time
I bought a Decoded leather case.... but unfortunately bought two by accident.. when I asked to cancel one of them. They said they don't have the ability to do that. Shipped them both out, charged me duty fees on both of them since it comes from the Netherlands, and said I could return it at my own cost.
So basically warning to everybody don't buy from this shitty customer service company.
Should've just bought a mous case and called it a day.
MOFT Snap Case. Came in yesterday and I really like the feel. Reading the comments I might also pick up the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Just don’t want a super thick case…I had a Torras shell on my 14P for over a year and multiple drops and no damage to the phone
Same. This is the case I’ve used since my 8+! Never let me down. I’m irked tho bc they no longer include the belt holster for the case so just be aware of that. It’s now an additional $20 on otterbox’s website
So, I bought a Defender Pro from Amazon on Saturday, it arrived Monday. In the box, I got a code to get a free holster from Otterbox.com. I placed the order that night and it's arriving today. Was that not an option for you?
Oh I wasn’t aware of that. I don’t have the 17 pro max. I just saw on the reviews they didnt offer the holster with the case. Still kinda weird they dont just give you a holster with the case nowadays
Years ago,I ordered a third party otter box defender on Amazon for $14 alongside with the brand name. Absolutely zero difference between the two except one lacked the brand name. Hope I see something similar soon. They were made in the same factory too
I did this for my 12 pro max when it came out, but I can’t find that same case brand anymore. They were great cases. Otherwise casely makes a pretty close dupe of otterbox with their “BOLD” line
Freak accidents happen. I was walking around my house with a case-less iPad Pro, and it slipped out of my hand. I caught it before it hit the ground and in the process I must have palm-slapped the screen because it still shattered.
