attw waiting for Nomad’s Black Friday promotion, meanwhile for me I will skip Nomad for the first time in 4 years - their cases are too heavy, additional bulk to the already heavy Pro Max.

3 cases so far,

1) UAG Plylo MagSafe - otw
2) Apple Leather Case - tengah pakai
3) Mous Limitless 4.0 Aramid Fibre - otw sudah sampai Malaysia

Yeah same here, kinda regretted getting the Apple Leather case because it seems so delicate and prone to dirt compared to Nomad, need to ‘baby’ it which is annoying.

UAG Pylo in the house.

Case is very beefy, has a nice grip to it and the edges are protruded - might be a little to bulky for me.

The lip covers the edge tight, so your SP/TG might be impacted especially on the edges.

Now waiting for my Mous Limitless 4.0.

Mous Limitless 4.0 in the house.

Feels heavier than my UAG Pylo case - but the build feels solid and firm. The Aramid Fibre plate at the back is smooth - like a rubberized texture.

Interesting enough that the top and bottom front face of the case is raised higher than the middle part - probably for impact protection, but a little too ‘raised’ for my liking.

Yeah, its definitely a plate - doesn’t seem easy to scratch either.

The side bumpers for sure won’t peel, its hard as a rock But like you said, lifetime warranty, no risk there

But their cloth and stickers are piss poor - it leaves residue on the glass

Long story short -

Only proprietary MagSafe (so far only Apple & Belkin) will provide 15w of wireless charging to iPhone 12 and above.

Any other wireless chargers regardless of 50w, 100w etc will only deliver 7.5w, no more.

Remember Apple is a closed ecosystem, it only benefits their proprietary brand of products. If you don’t pay the Apple tax, you’re not getting the bells & whistles.

Can do as long as they have the proprietary MagSafe license - so far I only know Belkin has it from a 3rd Party brand.

The 1% sudah telan

Yeah so safest to buy 1st party or Belkin only.

Less headache, less worry.

I think I’m starting to grow fond of the case now, but yeah the middle part is lower seems to be logical - better scrolling experience.

Their design is unique, gotta give them that.

How’s your case holding up for you?

This.

Bro, why so modest show 2 phones only, pretty sure you have more

Yeah he has more - including the Pro and Pro Max. I know him personally

For casing, right now gotta be the Mous Limitles 4.0 - the fibre plate at the back is so nice to touch, sounds wrong but yeah its growing on me. Now my UAG case is just sitting in the drawer

Which DAC are you going for?

Wired is awesome, but only for stationary placement, if you’re on the move, AiPods are the way to go.

Actually Hi-Res lossless is just 96/24bit and above up to max 192/24 bit -> its just a way of Apple categorize it, when there is no significant difference between 48/24, 96/24 or 192/24 -> honestly my ears can’t tell that much of a difference because the only difference between these bitrates are the frequency?

Unless you have super-technical hearing, then you can tell the difference. I can’t remember what is Sony’s Hi-Res capabilities but I know they have the potential to achieve a high bit-rate through LDAC -> AAC needs to step up their game.

But remember, wireless headphones have built-in amp -> regardless if it’s 48,96,192 etc, it will still be converted again and you won’t actually hear the natural sound of the song, you need a passive headphone to achieve that.

Looks good!

Is it me or the TG looks super thiccccc

Ohhh thought you were using Hoda’s.

But it’s not protruding right, as in the glass is higher than the case?

Yes its that time of the year, welcome to the club

Club iPhone 13

Looks fishy, especially the product image with that fake ugly font on the product.

Fishy store name, fishy product page, fishy store front. I'd cancel my order if I were you. Serial Number can be faked / duplicated - this is not a good method to track anymore.

The only true method is by having a local Apple Malaysia insert with SIRIM logo inside the box itself.

Next year iPad Pros will also change to Lightning la, because Lightning is the future! /s

I dropped my phone on the tarmac road earlier today, thankfully for Mous casing my phone survived lol.

Already chipped my 6 days old Mous casing 😭

Come join the party dikae is also onboard

I have this, it's a perfect all-in-one.

MagSafe 15w no problem, Apple Watch is the standard charging speed, not the fast charging as the fast-charging is only applicable for the new USB-C charging puck for Series 7. It's totally fine if you're gonna charge it overnight.

The only complain is the charging spot for AirPods - its always hard to nail the right spot for the AirPods Pro and often does not charge well, need to spend some time fiddling with the placement all the time

Charger itself is quite sturdy, very stable - I usually remove my phone from the charger with one hand, and usually half-conscious because I always remove it from the charger by midnight

Belkin is on the high-end when it comes to accessories, but once you've used it, you'll understand why it is priced like that. The attention to details, the build quality is second to none. Oh the texture of the charger base is rubberized, so just a heads up on the potential dust magnet.
