I might order Aurora Green. Anyone tried it?
Or go full drug dealer bling mode.

I have this in my Amazon cart but it's called Polarlight Green, what's the diff?
They seem to just have them named differently for the UK. They’re the same case.
Surprised the Pitaka weighs less than the Benks.
Pitaka 22.8 grams - Benks 29 grams

Interesting my Benks on my scale weighs 27g lol
Tomorrow my Ghost 2.0 should be here 
Should I sell it before I peel off the protective stickers?
Don't know why, but I have a feeling it's going to suck

Well it’s 50g for the Ghost 2.0 that’s already a no go for me personally lol and a fingerprint magnet on the clear back shell especially with your black iPhone but otherwise I’m sure it’s a great case! 😊Tomorrow my Ghost 2.0 should be here

In general, I just hate clear cases
Guess I'll give it a go and see what all the hype is about
Benks tends to claim their cases are lighter than they actually are. It’s like horsepower and gas mileage ratings. 😂
It says 27g which is exactly what mine weighs on my scale as I just mentioned a couple posts ago so confirms my scale is accurate lol
Maybe they updated their specs. I don’t recall the exact number but they were claiming down around 18-20 grams.
Oh wow. If they did claim 18-20g that’s way off and sounds super light! And since @Hooterville’s scale said 29g for the Benks and his scale said 22.8g for the Pitaka then the Pitaka is actually 24.8g? Wonder what Pitaka claims.

Actually, it’s the other way around. His scale was two grams too high, so we need to subtract two from 22.8, so 20.8 is the actual weight. Pitaka claims 19.37 plus/minus 3 grams.
Yes don’t know what I was thinking lol
Well 7g is pretty significant in weight. The Benks does have a little bit more material but still.
My scale is accurate and I stand 100% by my weights Definitely not off by a couple of grams.
I'm weighting the 16PM case
Here's Brain's tech weighing the exact same case and it's 29 grams

No amount of discount is worth it if you are ordering from Benks directly.
