Bummer. That has been exactly my experience with Benks - consistently inconsistent. They have a lot going for them, but their quality control is not at the level it needs to be IMO. I was hoping this new top-of-the-line case would put that behind them, but with yours and @Hooterville ‘s Prestige cases both having the same types of small defects I’ve seen in the past, it appears to be business as usual.
They’re either getting cherry picked copies, they aren’t looking close enough, they’re rushing to get their reviews out early, or they’re hesitant to be too critical for fear of damaging supplier relations. Whatever the deal is, it’s hard for me to take most online reviews seriously these days.
Lets see what Tineeowl brings next week.
If that is no good then the blame rests with @Hooterville. He made me order it again.

If the smudges and dust bother you on the black sili, get the stone gray; it’s much better.
Don't put it on me
I don't know what I'm talking about most of the time I'm out of the Owl and back in the Ringke Rugged

I had both for the max, wasn't really a fan of the stone.
Actually liking the pro with no case lol
i’m not a heavy user of the cc button. take my opinion with a grain of salt as i found the supcase perfect. i use the cc button to open the camera and as a shutter. i rarely change settings with it. i find myself playing with it, adjusting settings to test, but not using it to change settings when really using the camera. i like the main camera lens best and mostly use it. for my use case the button is perfect. i really like the even flat side so you don’t really know it’s there. and as far as accidental presses of it, in settings apple has some options to avoid that. i don’t find myself accidentally pressing it. all that said, i still am constantly considering swapping to the grip or something else because i like to place facedown anywhere and with this i can’t. i’ve got a perfect install of my screen protector and id like to keep it scratch free.
Is this nomad rugged review correct?

3.0 out of 5 stars Tight fit but a bit sharp

A very tight fit around the phone which is nice. Tactile buttons that make a click sound is very good. The only downside is that it has sharp contours along the back which makes the phone uncomfortable to hold. Maybe a good thing if you want to spend less time on the phone.
Went all out lol $11AUD with GSP's. Surely a return?

Its match made in heaven. Shame about rest of the issues.
Yea, that's a perfect match.
Gorgeous. I can’t get out of my thinny thin aramid fiber pitaka. First time I’ve used one and I’m addicted. So tempted to try this.Its match made in heaven.
I would totally try the Prestige in the thinny thin ArmorAir version but I’m good with my Aurora. I prefer those over the full coverage TPU ones.
Im thinking of ordering a thiny thin case as well. I really like the slimness of this Prestige. Feels very nice in hand.
Just installed my Arc Pulse on my IPhone 16 Pro. Love the minimalism thus far though I’m conflicted with how it impacts MagSafe accessories. The ESR MagSafe wallet for example no longer fits.
Got a thinny thin Benks coming in tomorrow 😳
