TORRAS OSTAND OAIR IPHONE CASE REVIEW: COME FOR THE COLOR, STAY FOR THE BUTTONS
Macworld
|October 2025
If we have one criticism of Apple’s Pro phones, it’s the limited range of colors: white, black, blue, and natural titanium on the iPhone 15 models; and white, black, desert, and natural Titanium on the iPhone 16 Pro and Max.
If you like the color you picked, of course, you can choose a clear case to show it off, but there’s a reason why most phone cases come in colorful, patterned, character-led, statement, and customizable options.
The latest protective case from Torras, the $64.99 / £49.99 Ostand OAir (fave. co/3HZGtyM) available for the iPhone 16 Pro and 15/16 Pro Max, offers a range of new colors—Forest Green, Violet Purple, Amber Brown, Obsidian Black, Coral Pink. But that's not the best reason to buy it. That would be the exciting option to swap out the buttons for a brighter alternative.
What sets this case apart isn't the case itself; it's the buttons.
Torras supplies a set of color-matching buttons preinstalled with each case, but in a neat surprise, also offers a set of five bright orange buttons to mix things up. Popping the regular case buttons out is simple, and adding the new ones is less fiddly than I thought it would be.
