this was their reply to me, “We want to assure you that all of our cases have been thoroughly tested for a secure and precise fit. The slight gap near the charging port is part of the design, intentionally made to accommodate a wider variety of third-party USB-C chargers. This change was based on feedback from previous models where the tighter cutout only fit Apple’s original charger.”

The gap has nothing to do with the size of the opening, of course. There are plenty of cases with sufficiently large openings that don’t have that air gap. I call BS.

Received the matte black Arc Pulse today. Much prefer the look over the graphite, which presents almost like silver on the black iPhone. The black is more stealthy and far less ostentatious.

@Hooterville The free shipping was great. Ordered on Friday night, received on Tuesday morning. Shipped out of Reno NV, which is in my general neck of the woods. Not sure if they have a warehouse in your vicinity though.

don’t get me wrong, it’s a very nice case and the gap isn’t the end of the world. it just looks slightly weird and i constantly feel it when swiping up from bottom. i figured their second batch would correct for this as i obviously thought and still believe they didn’t intend for this. i asked if they could send me a new one when they fixed it. that’s when i got the reply that it was intended. they also claim that past customers requested the gap. 🤔

There is no way you can feel a gap that’s on the inside of the case when swiping. I’ve had cases with these gaps and there’s just no way

the gap is not on the inside. the leather hugs against the iphone all around until it gets to the bottom where it doesn’t hug the phone but there’s a space. you can feel the edge of the iphone when swiping up. i think @Hooterville has called this a saggy butt on other cases with this problem. i don’t think you understand what the gap is.

Very nice match! But very cheap version 🤣🤣.
Titanium just came here!
Different packaging, feels different. It's just premium and top quality.
What I was very surprised is weight, because it's heavier than aluminum by 6 grams!

Very nice! Since the form factor is the same I would expect the titanium model to be heavier - titanium is around 1.5 times heavier than aluminum by volume. It is much stronger though, hence the 23 foot drop protection claim.

Let us know how the tungsten carbide finish holds up over time. It should be very tough.

Enjoy!

Thought about the Arc Pulse for a nano second. It does look class. I just can't commit, too risky if dropped. Yep have AC+ but any superficial damage would pee me off.
Plus my thick Torras screen protector has sharp edges that can't be felt in a 'proper' case. (Perfect install so don't want to change unless damaged).

Enjoy seeing pics of you guys' Arc Pulses though. 👍🏻

Be aware that their “Pro” model this year has zero screen lip. I’d suggest ordering through Amazon if you can - Pitaka returns are not the easiest.
