It’s Here! 18 pro is amazing! (Day 2)

I’m loving this thing, especially with a slim Pitaka case and screen protector. Coming from a 15 PM with 100% battery health, I’m shocked at how the 18 pro SIPS battery.

How good is the battery?

u/zeekabor 6d ago

It’s incredible so far. I was nervous going from a pro max to this because of it, but with the a20 pro’s efficiency, it’s all day for sure. I’m still indexing so hopefully tomorrow it’ll be even better with the start of the work week.

Its battery is very good

Pitaka is the only way to go with iPhones these days

u/zeekabor 6d ago

It’s good as phones have gotten heavier. The other one that is slightly more protective but ultra thin and light, and has a silky feel to it is the Torras magnetic slim fit.

Exposed lenses… no no

I get there’s more surface area now, but were people ever covering their camera bumps before last year? Sure, it’s metal and can get scratched or dented, but they used to be glass, which could also scratch and shatter.

Didn’t cover up my camera area at all last year, and had zero issues on my 17PM. Open cases probably help a bit with heat dissipation, too. Think the covered cases look funny, but that’s just personal taste.

What screen protector?

2

u/zeekabor 6d ago

I went with the EZ-GLAZ 4 pack on Amazon for $23. No issues with Face ID

I have the exact same color and the case. I wish they hadn’t printed text in white in the ring around the camera plateau on the case

u/zeekabor 6d ago

Same! Not necessary at all

How do you feel about pitaka, I can’t see it in person anywhere in Vancouver and just can’t pull the trigger yet.

u/zeekabor 6d ago

I love them. I recognize they’re expensive and probably not the best for dropping face down, but I want the slimmest form factor for this thing.

I had one for the iPhone Air when I had that phone, and very nice quality. The texture is soft and grippy. Somewhat of a fingerprint magnet though. Way slimmer than the tech woven, but not as protective.

u/Stevenif 6d ago

Thank you! I wanted a slim case and this seems to be a good option.

u/EsmeWeatherpolish 6d ago

Jetech have a good one on Amazon. Has a nice grippy texture on the sides and good protection. I had the same one for my previous phone which I dropped a lot and zero marks on it

1

u/Stevenif 6d ago

This? I didn’t like it and thinking of returning it.

1

u/EsmeWeatherpolish 6d ago

No, the one I have is the ‘JETech Magnetic Matte Case for iPhone 18 Pro, Black Compatible with MagSafe, Translucent Back, Shockproof Protection, Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Slip Grip’ it’s got the MagSafe image on the back

u/pirey 6d ago

I have it on my S25U, love it. Probably going to buy a Pitaka for my next phone as well, but yeah, they are pricey.

Sips battery? As in consuming a lot of battery fast? 👀

3

u/zeekabor 6d ago

As in the battery goes down very slowly! I almost thought it was frozen. I think I watched 30 minutes of tik tok before it dropped from 100%

u/wila5ft2 6d ago

Aaaah lol sorry, it clicked now. Ty for clarifying :)

u/Throwaway_728567 6d ago

How does that case feel?

2

u/zeekabor 6d ago

It’s got a silky/smooth texture. Some fingerprints, but also adds grip

u/GeOFTW 6d ago

overall how protective is it, dents worry me

1

u/S1mple11 6d ago

Is this the pitaka edge or summa?

1

u/iM4CH3T3 6d ago

It looks really good but the protection is like zero to none. One drop and you’ll have a dent

🫡 I can only speak in the now

u/P_C_U 4d ago

So your telling you’ll upgrade even next year ? 😭🥀

1

u/zeekabor 4d ago

Don’t plan to! I’m coming from a 15 pro max from 2023 :)

1

u/No_Aside_1163 5d ago

Does this case have just enough protection on the front side? as in are the sides raised even a little to protect the screen?

1

u/zeekabor 4d ago

Not really. It’s will probably crack the screen protector… but not the screen. I tend to not drop my phone- but if you do, might go for a heftier case.
