I live in the Rocky Mountains, in Northern Colorado and am very active outdoors. This area is rough on gear and my activities of choice, rucking, MTB’ing, etc result n me burning through all but the most rugged and highest quality gear available. I can’t tell you how many phones and foreign cases I’ve been through but the list is long. I’ve had this phone case on my iPhone 16 Pro Max for a few weeks now and I can say without hesitation, it is the best phone case I’ve purchased.
Before the 16 Pro case I had the 12 version for 3 years, and this one is a bit disappointing. The old one had a softer grip which means it was much less slippery and more durable. This one also shows scratches after one 3 feet drop which never happened to the old version. Still a good ecosystem which I might use for cycling, but definitely not as dependable as the old one.
I had an everyday phone case and mobile wallet and loved it. I just got an upgraded phone and had to get a larger everyday phone case, highly recommend. It is sturdy and really like the mobile wallet combo! I don’t have to carry a separate wallet
This case was surprisingly low quality. The rubber along the edges feels cheap and the color is not good. The fit is a little bulky compared to other high end brands. I was honestly shocked, I expect excellence from PD and this was just a total miss. Returned it and for some reason only got a partial refund, they didn't refund tax/shipping. Weird.
I bought this case several weeks ago and tonight, I went to take a photo with my iPhone, and something was keeping my iPhone camera from focusing. The tiny magnet that was in the finger loop to help keep it down when not in use had fallen out and was covering one of the eyes of my camera. The quality of the finger loop is poor. There is a seam where the fabric folds over itself, but it is not sealed, allowing the magnet to eventually break free from within. There is a thin plastic piece that helps to give it its shape, and that appears to be broken as well. I was hoping to not have to replace my phone case so soon, but I may have to look at a different brand for this. I do love my peak design camera bags (10L everyday sling and 30L Everyday backpack). I also use the Slide camera strap system and Clutch, and love those items. The phone case is a let down due to the finger loop quality.
