Bought this after reading mixed reviews, but love it. People who see it also wish they ordered it, since their Apple Cases for the iPhone 17 have failed or came apart. I tell them to get this case because it's sold, and still feels amazing after six months. There were reports that the case was "too small for the iPhone mode" but I didn't experience this, so maybe it was fixed? I love the dust cover for the port as well.
I was a bit skeptical whether it would actually hold onto the motorcycle mounts under moderate speeds and bumpy roads. So far even at 140 km/h directly exposed to the winds it holds on without any signs of getting loose. Design is well thought through and looks very good. Especially the compatibility with other peak design products is great.
I really like the case, more so than the everyday case. The one thing that I would like to see changed is to apply some kind of grippy material to the back. Currently is hard plastic and is very slick. It slides off of anything smooth surface that I place it on.
After using the Peak Design case for an iPhone 14 for about 4 years and being really happy how easy it is to install & remove from my push bike, it was an easy decision as to what case to buy for my new phone. The Gnar case is better than the old one - seems like better protection & I like the plug to seal the usb input. The buttons are also premium. Also like the orange colour as it makes it easier to locate with my old eyes!
I bought this case specifically to hold my phone securely on my MTB using the Universal mount. It works an absolute treat! Easy even to rotate to use video whilst riding. One thing that came as a big surprise is that I didnt expect to keep this case on my phone all the time! People ask me where I got it from? I absolutely love it and it has a permanent placement looking cool both on and off the Bike. Should also add that it sticks like glue on the Bike too. Peak Design, you excelled here!
