Cases, cases and more cases!!

[mach1man]

Is there a thread for what color people chose to get ? I wanna see what color people got because I'm torn a few colors myself.

This more on cases not phone color. Which colors are you debating between

I started thread for colors earlier this morning, since I haven't been on this site too much since the S23 was announced and preorder was up so I didn't know. Anyway not sure I'm tired of black and currently using the green for my S22 Ultra. Kinda like the cream color this for a change of pace because there are many times I'll take my case to clean my phone and admire the beautiful of it. I was thinking about getting a mag safe case since I have a mag safe charger fit for my iPhone 14 Pro. How well do they actually work or the magnets fairly strong enough?

I imagine that will vary based on the case and accessory.

I had a Monarch Pro and UAG battery for about a week, along with a popsocket wallet which I kept. the battery magnet was strong enough to hold it to the phone while being used, but you have to be a little careful. The popsocket magnet is rock solid. I actually shook it pretty violently to test and it didn't budge.

Got a Mous clarity on order which will hopefully turn up next week, so we'll see how their magnets do.

The UAG pro clear case I have, has an amazing magsafe hold. It's very strong. The amazon one is good enough to hold the phone but not during vigorous activity

I got the YTF Aramid Fiber MagSafe Case from aliexpress for around $35 CAD all in. I couldn't justify paying $100+ for the Pitaka. The YTF seems to be mostly the same thing, except for the lens cutout.

Not saying it makes it worth the money, but isn't the Pitaka carbon fibre not Aramid fibre?

Pitaka is 600D aramid fiber. In the end, to me they are the same/similar. I think aramid is more closer weave so aesthetically its different. I believe aliexpress has that version too.

I'm not sure if mine is aramid, it seems to be carbon fiber. Again doesn't make a difference to me, you can get both versions by YTF

Grabbed this one the other day for when things may get a bit rugged:

So far I've been impressed! I like the feel in hand - it adds bulk (obviously), but doesn't make the phone feel too huge. I usually like the idea of a tough/protective case but typically they don't last too long on my phones due to the absurd added bulk/clunky feel they usually add ... I can see this one changing that!

The built-in kickstand is awesome, wireless charging works as does mobile payments, SPen access is easy, I like the added charging port protection, nice raised edges on the front for great screen protection (no built-in screen protector), excellent rear camera protection, and overall it has good grip to it.

Only have one "complaint" ... it hides the awesome red color of my phone
But seriously, only real minor complaint would be the difficulty of removing the front frame. It's a double edge sword - makes it a bit difficult to remove the case but makes me feel confident that the case will stay together and protect my phone if dropped.

I have this case as well and use it for my daily driver. I have the Balck S23U, so no issues with hiding my color.

I really do have to say, that for a Rugged Case, this meets all the boxes I had for this kind of case.

Do they charge as much for theirs as Apple does for thier cases?

I've got the same one, lovely case but it does fit very tightly. I just took mine off for the first time to fit a screen protector and I broke it at the s-pen hole
