I have had 3 Loopy cases in the past and have been obsessed. They are literally the best cases. Well, I got the iPhone 17 Pro Max and couldn't spend the money on a Loopy right away. I got a silicone one and it was fine, but I found myself really missing the loop. I searched and was able to find a "dupe". I was calling it my "Floopy case", like fake Loopy, Floopy. Let me tell you that it was AWFUL! The placement of the loop was way too high on the back and it was made out of hard plastic so it just hurt and I couldn't do it. Well Black Friday came around so I decided to go for it. Thank goodness I did because as I said earlier, they're just the best. Plus, this brown checkered is soooo pretty. I will never try a fake Loopy again. If you're on the fence about getting one, save yourself the trouble and just do it!
