this brand is old timer, way before nomad, pitaka, dbrand come out

Confirm that, used to buy their book cover casing so vintage

Look forward to you FR on this charger.

Comparing twelvesouth one with the belkin 3-in-1.

Pros
- the angle for phone and watch is adjustable and not fixed which is quite nice for the standby mode
- comes with international plug adapters
- has a 7.5w wireless charging area which is not restricted to just for airpods
-able to charge my AirPods with thick case unlike Belkin (i can only charge if case is thin due to the recess circle charging area)
- base has a leathery feel which feels good and less prone to dirt compared to belkin's rubbery material

Cons
- only black colour

i say i rather support taobao than local. i dun think local will bring in benks tgsp...they wud rather use those less than $2 cheapo tgsp and sell u $30-$50

i willing to pay for branded and quality ones. not cheapo unbranded tgsp.

Local stores they either sell you those exp ‘house brand’ rubbish or try to sell you $50 zeelot etc.

The ugreen, benks and smartdevil they won’t carry and sell cos profit margin too thin..

We can’t go to local retail and expect good deal for consumers anymore

It’s my default case for every year’s iPhone. Usually I will rotate between silicone and leather throughout the 1 year span but this year I’m just using silicone one.

I like the slim and minimalistic look. The flexible corners also allowed me to use together with a wrap without damaging the wrap.

Can consider Apple cases if you like the looks and hand feel. Silicone hand feel is very good but it might be a lint magnet if you pocket your phone often, finewoven suan liao, failed product 2023 Value wise it's pretty even with flash sales on shopee/lazada. Fit of their cases feels like the phone will drop out if you drop it hard

Rebel seems to have alot of good reviews, but on paper the downside to me would be the weight (55g). If you don't mind the weight can consider hooting it.

Not sure about TB SP but this year seems like schott glass seems to be very hot. I'm using Okonz

May I ask are they all case friendly? Or they have different models to suit different needs? Ps I not so good in Chinese

Oo thanks for mentioning things that I have missed out… rebel case at 55g is a dealbreaker… the phone is heavy enu liao
I guess my choice are pretty clear… either silicone Apple case or maybe caudabe…

I feel the FineWoven criticism is abit overboard.. value wise definitely not there but so is any Apple product as consumer pay premium prices for everything Apple. It's not something new in 2023. One can find a similar texture and quality silicone case to Apple's for 1/5 the price in Taobao. Also, the iPhone 12 to 14 leather cases are all rather failed products too. The last quality leather case was from the iPhone 11 series (they still patina nicely)

The criticism on the FineWoven quality also bit over the top. I mean if one accidentally scratches the back of the case with his/her nails, of course it's going to leave a mark. It will leave a mark on any leather case too.

Gotta accept the harsh truth bro.. Ppl pay "Apple Tax" aka a premium, for a premium product. Every year ppl debate whether the Apple tax paid coincides with the actual product but this is the first year an Apple case received such harsh backlash because it is simply not worth it at all.

I tried it at Apple store & I would personally not get it even it was 50% off. Magsafe strength is almost non existent & the fabric liked material make it totally non water/liquid resistant. Apple needs to bring back their leather cases, but it seems their carbon free footprint already cast in stone

The apple finewoven is better than the Bare skin.

He said the magnet on the finewoven is quite impressive. You said is almost non-existent.

If it's the Apple leather cases from the last few series then forget it. They're awful and patina badly which leads to poor value at $89 too. One can get far better leather cases from Andar/Mujjo with that price tag..

Like Ragnarok bro says, some leather cases are worse than FineWoven hahaha

My exact sentiments!
