Didn’t some one on YT rated the button 99.9% as good as Apple lol.

Going forward I think i need to stop deciding what to buy solely based on YT reviews.
Saw that, maybe I'm just too old and stupid to work the Benks button o_O

Did they mention sticky silicone glue all over the inside & outside of the button? Maybe I got the "Special Edition" ?

Ive ordered Ryan London Dark Brown. Just waiting for them to reply back to my request. I want them to send me pics of handful of cases so i can pick one that shows decent amount of grain.

The button works a little better if I give my finger a lick before touching it :rolleyes:

Maybe my hands are too dry for this button.

For sure! 😄. I hate Arc send politics. They create shipping info and then you need to wait for physical delivery of item for days. My shipping information is here till Wednesday and item was accepted today.
I hope for the next week.

Currently with Rose Bronze Arc Pulse and it's definitely more scratch proof than every other Arc Pulse I had. I still can't see any damage on it 🤷‍♂️. I enjoying it more and more. I don't know what I will do with all Pitakas 🤷‍♂️
More and more companies are farming out their shipping to “e-commerce logistics providers”, which is a euphemism for, “cheap, cr@ppy shipping”. I hope they realize that pushes their customers toward Amazon.

That’s interesting about the Rose Bronze. It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s good to know.

Sadly, every day that passes those Pitakas are losing value…
 
For YouTubers I would rather just watch the unboxing and a look at the case / item , because once they start talking about it’s all BS . Either they get paid by the company or get free stuff ..I’ve bought stuff in the past based on so called reviews and it was junk..
 
So, this is really weird. My Benks Prestige had none of that nasty gunk on it, and it performs incredibly well. HOWEVER, that gunk is the same stuff that covered my TineeOwl case. It took a while, and I was able to clean it off, but the CC button worked at what felt like half speed or the difference between 60 fps and 30 fps. I've seen a few reviews/snippets saying their TineeOwl cases had none of the silicone-like sticky stuff on them but some others did.

It must be part of the CC button manufacturing process somehow, and third parties are maybe struggling with that QC. But I can confirm, my Benks Prestige had none of that crap on it, and it performs VERY well. No shill, promise.

YMMV has never been so true these days it seems.

Had the Moft invisible case delivered today after yearning for that naked feel and to actually enjoy looking at the screen with the slim bezels (cases always tend to ruin this). Did initially order a Suti Phoneback but cancelled virtually straight away; couldn’t drop £60 on one of those.

Impressed so far! Looks great, is super thin in hand but also offers a decent grip being a clear case. Gonna run it for a few day and see if it’s a keeper.

Looks nice. Which model is that? I the MagSafe ring white or tan?

Does your button feel like it's covered in silicone on the inside?
