Nomad sport - is it just me or does it feel more slippery than last year (the back, the Sides are good). maybe it’ll get better over time, but kind of a bummer. I love everything else about it. This is why I’m an apple silicone die hard.

Yea, it’s quite slippery and the back is supposed to be a matte finish 🤔
 
This has gotten out of hand. :oops:

Yup, would probably be a good idea. o_O
That Magsafe ring has me worried
The 600D Ultra-Slim and the Military-Grade (the one in your cart) both have the same smooth finish that shows fingerprints and MagSafe pretty badly. The Tactile Woven models have a different finish with more surface texture that doesn’t show marks and oil nearly as much (still to some degree, but far less).

How would you rank them?

Also I see the MagSafe circle on the black one, I noticed that as well for the short time I had the black Pitaka before transition to Benks lol
The Tactile Woven models are nearly identical, just different colors and patterns. I guess I’m partial to the blue “Moonrise” pattern. The texture and finish on all of these are pretty good at hiding fingerprints and marks. They feel great in the hand, with good grip without being sticky.

The black Ultra-Slim has that smooth finish like most aramid cases which pretty badly shows fingerprints and marks. That one feels good in the hand too, but is getting used the least due to the smudges.

Yes same exact thing for the Benks collection. I have textured and the smooth 600D black Benks as well (which has shown 0 signs of MagSafe circle and is still perfect unlike the Pitaka one I see)

I definitely prefer the textured. “Moonrise” and “Sunset” are definitely my top two in Pitaka. I just got the “Aurora” Benks and it is my favorite one.

You’re almost there you might as well get “Ocean” and “Forest” and you’ll have the whole collection!
