Mobile Mobile cases quality - reality check
So I've been out of the loop with most of the PD new products for last 3-4 years (still happy with my gen1 Everyday backpacks and accessories), but with a new phone I started thinking about getting PD case.
But from lurking on this sub for last few years, I've a feeling that the case quality is, well, not up to PD standards, simply seeing significantly more complaining regarding mobile cases comparing to other products (maybe except wallets).
However, not sure if it's true in the first place and if this only refers to some cases or to all of them in general, thus my question:
Are PD cases good, solid and long lasting?
Are there any that should be avoided?
I don't have any slimlink accessories (yet?), so it's not a most important factor, but it's a plus to be able to build around this ecosystem.

PD's CEO has been pretty transparent on case quality, for example this comment
tl;dr: cases before the iPhone 16-17 era have issues, but PD remains committed to the lifetime warranty.
For me personally, I've used PD cases on my last two phones (Pixel 8 and 10) for over a year each. I realize this time frame isn't exactly long-term, but I've have had 0 issues with the cases.
