I like the look of those 2. Especially that Enzo Aramid one. I'm considering the Spigen Liquid Air as it looks quite minimal.

 

 

The Enzo Aramid feels premium and yet a little slippery in the hands.

 

I was never a fan of carbon fibre or aramid fibre until I saw a review of this case, thought it looked great on the phone and the metallic ring around the camera cutouts and metallic buttons sold it for me.

 

If you want to get the Enzo Aramid, get it from my link to Amazon (it's not an affiliate link), Spigen.com has it listed for double the price of Amazon, not sure why.

 

You can also get free shipping to NZ with eligible purchases over US$49.

 

Core Armour series started from I think the S22 series but I liked the design on the S24 series better.

 

Even though it's made of TPU, it feels solid and reassuring in the hands, particularly surprised by the straight angled (maybe 90 degrees?) grip around the edges. Only thing though, I couldn't find it on Amazon but on Ali (genuine) or Spigen.com and Spigen.com.au (which doesn't ship to NZ).

 

My 2 cents.

I must say, the ultra just feels so good without a case.

I'm using a Pelican Protector Carbon case (purchased via Spark business) with PanzerGlass Hoops Lens Protector

 

I had a minimalist case on my previous phone which unfortunately took a bit of damage late last year, so I wanted something with better protection. I'm very happy with the new setup.

Is this new ? Noticed it’s using a last gen Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform according to specs.

The Oppo Fold N3 aka OnePlus Open was released last year hence why it's using SD 8 Gen 2.

 

There are rumors that Oppo have/is stopping development for new foldable devices due to lack of demand with large amount of unsold stock in the warehouse.

Includes camera update, but isn't the camera update. That's planned for later in April.

OT:

 

I love the use of correct grammar.

 

This is why English can be such a difficult language to understand for some!

Some good deals on cases at PBTech this weekend. I picked up the UAG Pathfinder which feels great and supports Magsafe. I also grabbed the 2 pack Spigen EZ screen protector. (If anyone wants to buy the second screen protector, let me know. $20 shipped?).

On another note, I did the thing - I took a 100x zoom photo of the moon last night. So cool.

Do either of those still rock when the phone is sitting face up? It's driving me nuts for the last 2 phone interations that my phone rocks when sitting flat on it's back because of the stupid cameras.

Enzo Aramid still rocks due to the raised metal ring around the camera.

 

Cases in my collection so far that don't rock when placing the phone with screen facing up are:

 

  • Spigen Liquid Air
  • Spigen Core Armour
  • Freebie Samsung sllicone case
  • Ringke Fusion
  • Ringke Fusion Bold
  • UAG Plasma

That's very very strange. I bought a liquid air yesterday. I hate it. It feels bulky, don't like the feel on the sides or back, but whilst it doesn't rock MUCH, it does still rock. 

 

I definitely don't want a case as bulky as the Air.
