I have both the loop version of this case and the non-loop version. I really enjoy the feel and materials of this case, and it protects the phone very well. I like the loop version as a backup to using a Pop Socket with a MagSafe base, particularly when I'm out and about and need a way to stabilize the phone in hand.
I think the Everyday Case could improve with a couple small changes: bring the shutter button extension over from the GNAR case (the cutout is a bit too recessed to reach easily), and maybe add a magnet to hold the loop in the closed position. It feels like the loop will eventually stick out from the case when not in use as the material begins to wear down over time.
My issue is the flat buttons on the new camera button side. LMost cases are designed so the case is around that button. This case doesn’t and if the phone is in a bag it turns the camera on and overheats.
I’ve used the Peak Design Everyday Loop Case for quite a while now, and it’s easily one of the best phone cases I’ve owned.
I love the textures. The fabric-like back feels amazing, and the grip texture along the sides provides excellent control without feeling bulky or rubbery. The buttons are another highlight. They fit perfectly, respond consistently, and have a satisfying tactile click that many cases fail to deliver.
Protection has been outstanding. The raised edges do a great job protecting the camera, and screen: admittedly I’m notorious for dropping my phone, I’ve yet to crack a screen while using this case. .
The mounting system is where this case really shines. Whether I’m using the wall mount at home or on my bike, the connection is secure. I’ve never worried about my phone coming loose, even during rough rides. It’s sturdy, safe, and extremely functional.
Overall, If you want a premium case this is an easy recommendation.
I really like this case. I have used a dozen different phone cases for my Motorcycle / Adventure trips and this one is so far my favorite. I have one for my wife's Enduro bike and one for my bike. Mine charges while mounted and has a flex mount to prevent phone damage via vibration. Hers is a hard mount with no charging capabilities. Here is the breakdown: #1 It is by far the easiest to take off the handle bar mount. Quick and easy with one hand. #2 The charging mount is a big plus. I had the first one stop working but was replaced. It did take some time to get it back though fyi. #3 The finger loop on the back of the case is great for everyday use. #4 The phone case is not as protective as I would like it to be. There is not enough of a lip around the phone bezel to protect against drops etc. in my opinion. If it were just a little thicker it would also be my everyday carry case, however, I use it only for moto rides due to mounting capability.
In conclusion, its better than a lot of other cases in that it implements a finger loop for easy handling, it mounts directly to mount on my moto with just a click. I have had multiple crashes off-road as do most Enduro riders and it has never come off the mount (HUGE PLUS). Just wish the case was a bit more robust to enable me to use it as my main/primary everyday phone case.
This case is excellent, But unfortunately has one downside, The loop on the loop case Deteriorates after about a year With constant use, however all is not lost Peak designs warranty is outstanding I have had three cases over the last five years No quibble no questions just replacement, send them a photo let them know the problem and it's replaced So it's not just the case the company gets five stars
