Man the case and button are pretty good but it's so damn slippery. The clear case is an absolute bar of soap.
Got a tip for us?

Nobody in their right mind
It was a long and winding road, but I’m done (I mean it this time). I may even do the same for the IP17.
The Arc and thinny thin Pitakas have sensitized me to case weight to the point that even the Apple Silicone feels on the heavy side. There’s no chance I’d like the 50+ gram Phone Rebel.
The popular options with good CC buttons are the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T, Otterbox Symmetry Clear, Otterbox Lumen, and the Apple Clear. These are all good cases with various trade offs, the main being the stiff buttons on the Apple, and the high price tag of the Otterboxes. The Spigen is definitely the best value (don’t buy it direct, it’s much cheaper on Amazon and eBay).
IMO the spigen is the case of the year by far. Not overly big, relatively light, and the darker color doesn’t yellow at all.
They weren’t bad on the frosted black version.
So it’s just the same old case with a button. I hate the look of this years on my phone. The camera ring looks bulky and strange to me. But how is that green benks with fingerprints? Your pics make me want to order one lol
The fingerprints are pretty bad but they wipe right off easily with a microfiber towel. I'm still in that case as we speak.
The fingerprints are not as noticeable on this green case as they are on black aramid fiber, but they are there.
After having tried almost all of the textured woven Benks ArmorAirs. Passion Green shows the least fingerprints by far. They’re almost non existent for me.
The texture as well is the most noticeable on it, the bumpy feeling of the textured woven pattern creates great grip. They all have that same feeling but the Passion Green feels the bumpiest.
I know the color and pattern might not be for everyone but it’s definitely my personal favorite for the Benks ArmorAir lineup this year.
Hopefully they come out with more designs for next year as I will definitely rock one of these for the 17 as well.
Arc Pulse and Benks Armor Air would probably be my #1 and #2 position in my Top 10 video 😂
