With colored pattern. Most fingerprints is on classic 600D pattern.
Today I use my different scale and PKT Monogram has actually 25 grams.
Rokform Slim Case landed yesterday. Had a few scratches RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.. a sign for what’s to come. Buttons are excellent, MagSafe is excellent and this one doesn’t have all the other magnets around the MagSafe so it aligns super easy and they are strong enough to stick to metal surfaces. Love how the sides are concaved like the Nomad Rugged, and much much slimmer than Rokform’s other offerings, BUT this thing scratched to hell after 12 hours of babying it. Putting it face down on tables, putting in my pocket with nothing else and it’s still scratched all the way up. It’s too bad because I love this case, looks bad @$$ and very comfy to hold, I just know in 2-3 weeks it’s going to look a year or two old with scratches. I don’t have a second phone anymore so I’ll have to wait until I get home to snap some pictures for you guys with my iPad.
Happy Case Hunting.

My Ryan London case with the new CC button has arrived. Here's some photos of the CC button (as you probably already know what the overall case looks like). This one is the dark leather metal option.
My quick test of the button is very positive. I think it may be more responsive than the Apple silicon case, or at the very least, no worse. EDIT: I will say though, that the other buttons stick out a lot more than the Apple case, which isn't welcome.

I like the Benks case I got yesterday but have noticed a problem after using it for the past 24 hours. There is a sharp feeling gap along the lower corner seam 
Not sure if this just developed or was there fresh out of the box.
The only other problem, slippery and a fingerprint magnet.
Now, do I do an exchange or just refund and get an open air Pitaka?
Zensō what Pitaka shows the least fingerprints and looks best on the black phone?
Is the Pitaka military grade with buttons worth getting?

Well, scratching this one off my list. Was already concerned by the comments about it being slippery. I have a PR6 coming next week (not even from China!), probably just in time for the CC version to be released!I like the Benks case I got yesterday but have noticed a problem after using it for the past 24 hours.

Bummer. Those are the kinds of small defects that resulted in my returning literally every Benks I ordered this year. Not saying everyone is having issues, but that was my experience.I like the Benks case I got yesterday but have noticed a problem after using it for the past 24 hours.

The 1500D “Tactile Woven” models show the least fingerprints in my experience. Naturally, the lighter colors also fare better. I’d say the “Moonrise” and “Sunset” look good on the black Ti and aren’t bad for fingerprints. Beware that they still show some smudges, but for me it only required wiping once in the morning. The 600D “UltraSlim” in black/gray looked great out of the box, but was almost immediately covered with smudges and only got worse, requiring regular wiping throughout the day. I like black cases but that one is collecting dust.
Personally, I’d stay away from any of the “Pro” models with TPU sides from either Pitaka or Benks if fingerprints are a concern. All of those cases have a smoother coating, similar to the dreaded “soft touch” finish we know and love… lol.

Thanks for that I was leaning towards the milky way. Do you have a couple pics of the Pitaka cases on the black phone?
I know you posted them in the past but I can't find them.
Thank you for those. I've narrowed it down to the Milky Way or Sunset ?
Give me the final vote?
Cool! I just bought one from someone from eBay in the UK. I am in The Netherlands. It was the only one available. Had the Ghost 1.0. Loved the case, hated the scratches. I couldn’t get a free replacement, as I bought the 1.0 from a Dutch eBay site.
So, when I got the Aulumu A15 everyone was laughing at me here, for buying a $50 case that you could ‘easily find at a Walmart bin for 10 dollars’ and that it was just cheap plastic. Now the same case gets likes.
What changed?
