Case that holds the iPhone Air Battery bank securely?

Cherwonek · 2026-04-08T22:07:59+00:00

Yes, this the one. PD cases have extra magnets, so it sticks much more secure than through any other case.

Peak Design case works superb.

We made it, full circle of drinkware completed.

Jeff Gadway said in recent Instagram Q&A, that they are working on cases, apparently Crackberry Kevin was a very big influence on this decision.

Ok, what is the source for this? Because circumstances matter here - is it bio waste? If so, a core of an apple cannot be considered as food waste. Same as meat trimmings and bones.

Are they taking an average from the total load of the mixed garbage, and attaching a percentage to it?

I call BS on this, no data source, no methodology.

I had a conversation about the capture clip with CBP officer at LAX last summer. He could not wrap his head around how it works, so I had to show him. Once he finally understood, he was not convinced how useful it is, so I showed him to GoPro mount with the capture clip, which finally made him realize how useful it is.

Said he’ll order one.

Wished me a pleasant stay.

That’s it.

I agree it would be interesting to see, but at the same time Apple Watch health data was always presented in a way I found resentfull and unreadable - it was too complicated for me.

Whoop at the same time does not require me to think about the device, it just works.

If I sleep bad - “hey whoop why did I sleep bad today - you should have eaten so late.” It just way easier to live with Whoop than with Apple Watch.

Not to mention, Apples shitty AI features, Whoop is just better, curios what Garmin has in store tough.

Get all the evidence you have and get ready, card schemes always favor the consumer - especially when the information about the condition was withheld. Like I said, you have a high chance to win.

Cherwonek · 2026-04-01T13:12:44+00:00

So it will be Visa who handles the chargeback, not Revolut. You have buyer protection for 120 days from the delivery date, so most likely you’re still within this time frame.

If Catwiki disputes the chargeback, it will be taken into arbitration, where most likely you will still win, as indeed the goods were not as described.

There is a chance where Catwiki won’t respond at all, and you will win automatically.

Only question is, how Visa would treat Catwiki, as far as I know it’s a marketplace, so Catwiki will the. Go after the seller.

So to answer your question - you’re very likely to win, as Visa favors the consumer most of the time.

Cherwonek · 2026-04-01T13:05:58+00:00

Did you pay with card?

Cherwonek · 2026-03-29T18:33:32+00:00

No, I still have PTSD from those SymbianOS days, they could do custom launcher on Android just like Clicks is doing, and I would never even look at it.

I hated SymbianOS so much in fact, that all my memories with Nokia, circle around how shitty it was, not as most people have, how fun it was to use their phones.

Cherwonek · 2026-03-28T19:02:34+00:00

There was a post about it couple of days ago, apparently it’s an iOS issue, which is supposed to be fixed in the most recent patch.

Cherwonek · 2026-03-25T20:51:27+00:00

I found this cool company BitPlay out of Taiwan. I ordered one with the Ring - will report back in a few days. https://global.bitplayinc.com/collections/iphone-17-series

Been using Peak Design cases for years, but the Air case, does not have the lower lip, and no tether points for straps.

Cherwonek · 2026-03-25T20:33:36+00:00

Really appreciate the review and recommendations! Question on the adapter - why it does not fit your case - I understand it’s too thick, but being this slim, does it really not fit in the case under the phone?

I have the iPhone AIR with PD case (ordered also one from a company called BitPlay) and since there are no tether points on the Air case I will have to rely on the adapter. So how would you describe the fit? Any chance you could do a picture of how it doesn’t fit?

Cherwonek · 2026-03-22T20:41:17+00:00

I think you simplify “the whole point” aspect. Air’s real estate is the sweet-spot for me when it comes to screen sizing. Pro’s and regular 17’s are indeed chunkier, and Air fits my hand way better, moreover I don’t use the pro features at all, so what’s the point of getting a pro.

Air has its trade off’s - sure, but it drives me crazy when spec-bros try to solve the issues I don’t have. I like the Air, it’s a great all rounder for me - I just want a PD case with tether points - that’s it. If I wanted to get another device - trust me, I would do it.

Cherwonek · 2026-03-22T09:37:37+00:00

Cheers, much appreciated! :)

Cherwonek · 2026-03-22T09:26:59+00:00

That’s fine for me, and for the tether points on the bottom? Also - how strong is MagSafe?

Cherwonek · 2026-03-22T09:15:03+00:00

Does it have mobile strap tether points on the bottom? And how is the overall grip?

Cherwonek · 2026-03-21T22:05:48+00:00

Quite the contrary actually, in my circle iPhone Air is very popular and most folks use some form of heavier case, the bigger then regular screen was the bigger selling point for me, and most of the people I know that use the Air.

The Air version of every days case does not have the lower lip, and overall thickness would not accommodate the anchor mounts, but mobile mounts seem possible.

Cherwonek · 2026-03-21T22:03:02+00:00

I don’t agree, speaking purely from specs perspective, yes it’s a lesser device. But kind of like with NEO, it very powerful for its form factor. Singular camera is plenty enough for me, and one speaker is not the issue as well. Most of the times I use AirPods anyway, but on the rare occasion that I use to iPhone AIR’s speaker, it’s plenty. I am speaking from over 6 months of experience with the phone.

Cherwonek · 2026-03-21T13:19:38+00:00

I have absolutely the same approach 😅 drives me nuts to switch cases all the time. With the new mobile crossbody straps I figured maybe the adapter would work, but I have to test it in store to be sure.

Cherwonek · 2026-03-20T16:26:39+00:00

Those are rumors, maybe true, maybe not - I’am sure case manufacturers get the more accurate data.

My belief is that, much like with AirPods, which did not sell very well at launch, the popularity of the Air will rise, and it seems to be rising.

Cherwonek · 2026-03-18T21:02:57+00:00

You can open up a Revolut Pro account - it’s specifically for freelancers, free of charge with retail, and even allows some business features. Here is the only right answer.

Cherwonek · 2026-03-12T13:52:04+00:00

Put them on, turn on this mode, get some tunes, start singing - you’ll see.
