I use a 12 South case called the Book Book. It's a wallet case for the iPhone that lets you put your ID, cards and some cash in a fold that covers the screen. The iPhone 14 Pro sits inside a leather case that attaches to the fold over part with a strong magnet. This does make the phone bulky, however your screen is covered. When closed, the case looks like a tiny leather book and is quite elegant and professional.

When you're ready to use the phone, fold the cover backwards or remove the phone entirely. I generally leave the cards and ID separate until I leave the house.

Pad & Quill makes very nice, elegant cases that look good for a formal occasion.

Otterbox cases are also very tough and great for day-to-day use, especially if you're less than careful with your phone.

Curious to hear what other options people are using.

I am a minimalist by design, and as such I prefer the minimalistic Spigen case I have on my SE2. It is a hard rubbery-plastic, with smooth matte sides and a textured back, and on the iPhone it seriously looks like it is part of the device, as opposed to a case that is on said device. 😀

Going back to my iPhone 6 Plus days, I started buying the Spigen Tough Armour and have never looked back. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of cases out there that are great, but I've always loved the simplicity of a thin but bulky case. The Tough Armour is sleek but a little bulky and protects the phone plenty. I've even gone as far as getting their screen protector and camera lens protectors too, so now my 15 Pro Max is well protected.

Ever since I got my iPhone 15, I've really apreciated the Mous Limitless case. I have the Mous Limitless 5.0 for my iPhone 15 and the Mous Limitless 6.0 case for my iPhone 16 Pro. I've never had great luck with screen protectors and waterproof cases tend to muffle sound. Not great when you have hearing loss and don't have hearing aids in. The Mous Limitless case has a protective ridge above the edges of the screen which cushions the screen and prevents it from contacting the ground if you drop your iPhone. Also, the grippy texture on the sides help to prevent a drop in the first place. The floating buttons work very well and give good feedback when pressed. Also, the ports aren't covered. I've never had difficulty plugging an accessories and the speakers and mics are left fully exposed. It feels great in the hand and doesn't add too much thickness while providing great protection. It's also MagSafe compatible with a good strong magnet. I've never had it slide off the charging puck. It's an expensive case compared to others but I've found it well worth the peace of mind.

Has anyone noticed that this post was started on March 1st? Yet, the first two comments were from February 27th. How is that possible!

Obviously. 😆
Actually, I would like to update my post above, since March of this year I actually am now running an iPhone SE3 with a clear case with rubbery side grips, forget the name, but it makes the phone work with MagSafe products. As the iPhone SE3 did not originally have MagSafe capabilities, this case is a great add-on to my device. It is also sleek and slim, and makes for easy carrying within a pocket. 😃

The Caudabe Sheath stands out as one of the most reliable, thoughtfully designed cases available for the iPhone, particularly for the iPhone 16 Pro Max and a range of other iPhone models. After using a variety of cases over the years, including popular options from Apple, Mous, and OtterBox, I can confidently say that the Sheath addresses many common issues I’ve encountered and brings its own unique advantages, especially for blind users who rely on tactile feedback.

To start, the Caudabe Sheath combines excellent protection in a remarkably slim profile. Unlike some cases that bulk up your phone just for added protection, the Sheath stays sleek while still safeguarding against drops up to 6.6 feet, thanks to Caudabe’s ShockLite polymer. I’ve accidentally dropped my phone on concrete, and the Sheath hardly showed a mark—remarkably more durable than Apple’s FineWoven case, which in my experience scratches and scuffs far too easily, or Mous cases, which have a similarly slick finish that also didn’t stand up well to rougher use. With the Caudabe Sheath, you get peace of mind without sacrificing the look or feel of your device.

A key feature, especially for blind users, is the slightly granular texture of the Sheath. This texture isn’t just a design element; it serves as a subtle but effective way to keep the phone from slipping out of your hand, offering a steady, confident grip even with extended use. It has a feel that’s almost like a light grit, providing a better tactile experience than the Mous cases I’ve tried, which felt slippery and often hard to handle securely. This textured grip, combined with its soft-touch finish, makes the Sheath a standout for anyone who wants a phone case that truly feels comfortable to hold.

The Caudabe Sheath also excels in button design and usability. The buttons are seamlessly integrated into the case itself, so there’s no rattling or awkward plastic inserts like I found with some other brands. They provide smooth, responsive feedback, which is essential for users who rely on tactile response to locate buttons quickly and easily. This was a big improvement over my experience with OtterBox cases, which often made the buttons stiff and required extra pressure to activate. Additionally, the Sheath is flexible enough to snap on and off the phone with ease, unlike bulkier cases that make installation and removal a hassle.

For those who like their phones to stay clean and smudge-free, the fingerprint and smudge resistance of the Sheath is another great bonus. Unlike cases that need constant cleaning, the Sheath maintains a sleek appearance even after extended use. It’s also scratch-resistant, so it doesn’t show wear easily, which is ideal for anyone who wants their case to look as good as new after months of use. Another smart design element is the rounded edges, which make the phone comfortable to hold during long calls or extended use, avoiding the discomfort that comes with sharp or angular edges on some other cases.

The Caudabe Sheath also plays well with screen protectors. Its precision cutouts allow enough room to fit most screen protectors without interference, so you can pair it with an additional layer of screen protection if you like, without worrying about awkward gaps or fit issues. Plus, the corners of the Sheath are reinforced, adding extra shock absorption in the areas that tend to be most vulnerable during drops. This attention to detail gives the Sheath an edge in terms of both durability and usability.

Available in classic colors like black, navy, and gray, the Sheath offers a stylish look that complements the iPhone’s aesthetics. It’s compatible with MagSafe and other wireless charging options, so you don’t need to remove the case to charge, making it incredibly convenient for everyday use. Priced around $35 to $40, it provides great value for the protection and quality it delivers, standing head and shoulders above many pricier options that don’t hold up as well.

In my experience, the Caudabe Sheath outperforms other cases I’ve tried in nearly every aspect. It offers durable protection without bulk, a secure, granular grip, responsive button feedback, easy installation, and a stylish, lasting appearance. For blind users in particular, the case’s texture and build make it a highly tactile and reliable choice. If you’re looking for a protective, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed case, the Caudabe Sheath is a fantastic investment that’s well worth considering. It’s the ideal combination of style, functionality, and value, addressing the weaknesses I’ve encountered in other brands and bringing the best features into one outstanding case.

I like the assumption that all blind people, for some grotty reason, have far more slippery hands than the sited.

Personally, I do like leather cases. they do degrade faster than plastic might, but they just feel more premium covering our expensive slice of tech. The word "plastic" always makes me think it is going to be something cheap, which I know is unfair.

I need to get a new one soon so I'm glad this thread is up, especially as I have terribly greasy hands, even for a blind person. Can't grip a thing.

I always check Flossy Carter when he does video about cases for iPhone from the best, strong and nice. Got a clear case similar from the one Apple sales but half price. Is nice and the button are cool. Check him out in Youtube. Also he did screen protectors if you want one.

By Oliver on Friday, November 15, 2024 - 05:14

Great, thank you. I've just got a new apple watch in natural titanium and the fashion conscious part of me wants to show off that my phone is the same colour, so clear sounds like a good shout.

neither should you. the best skin is iphone's own skin, made from "latest-generation ceramic shield front and color-infused glass back", the toughest material apple has ever made, and aluminum or titanium frame, extremely high tech, space science and military grade. don't you have faith in apple?

phone cases are the modern version of ringtones, people spent billions for a crappy sound clip; now they spend 50 bucks for a piece of plastic costs $2.74 to make, and believe it is really some kind of high tech material.

By Brian on Friday, November 15, 2024 - 05:14

As my subject would suggest, I spent about six bucks on my case. And it actually adds more functionality to the device, than the device itself has on its own.
Thank you, that is all. 🫡

Do we know if they had broken their phone in the past? They can just walk down to the store and say "my phone broke, need a new one". The person in the store "Yes sir, here it is". Tim, "Thanks, Lucky me I get my phone for free, nice to run Apple".

I use odder box cases. I'm so glad that the IPhone16 comuterr case doesn't come with the snap on screen protectorr, that's what I disliked the most about those cases is when they were new they were a pain to open. I have a tempored glass screen protector for my oddderbox case now.

I just got an iphone 15 and need a case. An important consideration is a case that will allow the phone to sit flat while in landscape mode for Braille entry. This is very important to me since I do Braille most often directly on the phone. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.
