I use stand at work plus iPhone at work hardly gets used.

Apple Watch gets used mostly and my workplace do not have internet usages restriction so that helps.
Oh ok that makes sense. I have work emails and phone calls on my phone, so I have no choice. I really wish I could like the silicone case since there is nothing else from Apple.

When out and about I carry a small sling bag from Waterfield for my phone, a couple of key fobs, and my cards. At home the phone sits on my desk, the coffee table, or a charger. As such, it’s rarely ever in my pocket, so lint is not really a problem regardless of the case. It would be a different story if I carried it in my pocket all day.

Thanks for the informative post...

I got the Pitaka - Over the Horizon color. I like the case so far. In the 16 Pro version (non-max), the weight is 19.8gr. and it has just enough grip for my needs.

The Over Horizon is very dark in person though. Do the top portion of the other blue cases look equally dark? Are there any other Pitaka woven case blue cases where the top (and whole case) are a little lighter? Otherwise, do you think the Sunset case looks lighter in color and is a good looking case?

I have the white 16 pro, and think the Over The Horizon is just a bit dark as the phone has the whote camera and natural ti sides.

Which model you been using? I've been using Alpaka & Aer bags for years.

How fast is Ryan London shipping to USA? And are you guys here going with the metal or regular? I assume metal is just stronger/firmer material?
Depending on where you live it can be as fast as next day. They have 2 shipping options. I always choose the UPS option which gets to Jersey next day. Their other option is usually 5-7 days to Jersey. You can email them, they are super responsive.

This thin Alpaka has been one of my favorite slings as of lately. Plus it goes perfect with the green thinny thin Benks case :cool:

Man, the new 16e has a Winter Blue and White silicone case option but those don't seem like they're coming to the rest of the lineup as of yet. Bummer. Also, $10 cheaper.
