Guess what? This is exactly where I hold my pinky. And it is the USB connection cutout that was very hard and cutting into my pinky.
UAG yellow banana in today and it's not as bad as I was expecting. Nice tight fit, buttons are good, front lip is decent and the hole is not all loose and saggy like I was anticipating. Here's a couple quick pics:

The real question is will the case last longer than 8 hours on the phone 🤨
@Hooterville That case looks perfect for a construction builder.)
Lasted about 2 hours, I'm already out
That thing is sick…. Is it available on Amazon… even though I bought two others that are on their way 🤣
Why did you get out of it already, out of curiosity? Wish it was for the Pro, I’d see if you wanted to sell it to me 😎Lasted about 2 hours, I'm already out
90% off is rather extreme. Making “cr@ppy bulky” cases must not be working out too well for them… lol.
Have a dermatologist appointment in the morning and didn't want to be sporting such a loud case over there.
I believe this case is on Amazon today with a 25% off coupon.
I’m at around 6 weeks in on these skinny aramid cases. Just love the near caseless feel, the feather lightness, and the direct access to the buttons (especially the camera control). I believe I’m fully converted, don’t really see myself going back to “normal” cases anytime soon. We’ll see what happens when the Gen 6 with CC comes out, but I doubt even that case is going to draw me back into the fold. They’re obviously not for everyone, but if you enjoy the feel of the naked phone, but aren’t quite ready to go caseless, this is a great option in my opinion.
Can you link me to this case that would go good with the black phone?
So many different ones, my head is spinning
Here are a few from Benks and Pitaka. These are all the type that have more surface texture for better grip and fewer fingerprints.Can you link me to this case that would go good with the black phone?

90% off, no iPhone 16 or 15 cases, and their web site says "All sales final. While supplies last."
I think that's shorthand for "We're going out of business."
It’s seems to be the finish, not the thread count. The traditional black/gray models in both brands aren’t just darker but also have a smoother finish, similar to last year’s Pitaka Pro if you had that case. That smooth finish is extremely bad for showing fingerprints. It’s about like the aramid backs on the Mous and Phone Rebel.
The “tactile” models (essentially any of those with colored patterns), which can be 1500, 1000, 600, or even some combination there of, all show fewer fingerprints. I believe the textured surface is the key - that’s my understanding anyway.

Do you sell or return most of the cases you buy? Just interested as you must part with a serious amount of cash 😄Lasted about 2 hours, I'm already out
The built quality on this yellow UAG is pretty decent right down to the interior
Cool! Looking forward to your pics and impressions. 👍🏼
