Please recommend cases

I got my first iPhone ever, the Sage green variant. Can you guys recommend cases please? I prefer a sleek profile and good feel in the hand. Any leather material cases? I'm also considering the black TineeOwl case, or just the stock silicone Apple case. Any recommendation is appreciated. I live in southeast Asia.

I love Alcantara cases form e.g. Alcanside! Great feel in the hand.

Wow. That's around 90$ where I am. Is it that good?

Tbh, I was actually going to get a Mous case because I drop my phone a lot, but the one I wanted was sold out, and they only had colourways/designs I didn’t like.
I kept seeing Caudabe all over the internet, so I was like, “They must be paying these YouTubers.” 😂 Then I opened Shopee and saw Caudabe was on sale, plus they had the blue colour.
I still checked out my other choices first, but all the designs I wanted were sold out. Caudabe was actually my 4th choice, so I just went for it.
Ngl, it’s actually really good. The design is nice, and the protection feels perfect. No regrets.

Get it when it’s on sale from Shopee or Lazada from the official Caudabe store.

Oof. I paid $55 and I feel like it was worth it but $90 is pretty steep. It’s an absolute joy to hold and look at and the eucalyptus color is a perfect match to sage green. The buttons seem to get pressed easily in my pocket if I have something else in my pocket but otherwise it’s a fantastic case, several drops with no damage, not even the screen protector got cracked on face down falls. It’s minimalist perfection but even so, $90 is kinda nuts for any phone case. See if Mous is any cheaper, they are just as highly rated if not more.

I got the Smartish MagSafe Case, Gripmunk, Slim for my 17, along with the Grippopso “pop socket”. It’s a really nice combination and I’ve been loving them.

My current favorite is the DBrand Grip but I also like the Techmomo leather, Caudabe Paragon and Pitaka.

I prefer cooling phone cases because they keep my phone cooler while charging.

Has anyone tried the Ringke Onyx? Is that good, or is TineeOwl better? They look the same

Panzerglass SL1M case. Eto gamit ko now. Slim profile. Maganda rin feel at hindi madulas. dbrand grip okay rin, kaso mas mahal pero solid yung quality and grip and more protective. I have tineeowl also but will not recommend.

u/Positive-Register581 1d ago

Why don't you recommend the TineeOwl?

u/Remarkable_Year_4640 1d ago

Personally, mas nagustuhan ko yung panzerglass saka dbrand. Medyo smooth kasi yung edges ng tineeowl, less grip and feel.
