Such a great color. That’s the one I haveIf that 1TB in Jetblack was in stock on the Samsung site, it would be on the way hereg
Is this one as slippery as the stone colored one? Maybe it’s just the color? I liked the glossy finish from last year better, how is the slippery-ness of this one?
I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. I can’t speak for all creators, but all my reviews are honest and my opinion. I know a bunch of creators who are the same way. Even cases I get sent to me for free, I have given plenty of bad reviews to if the cases were bad. The issue is that some of these companies aren’t paying as much attention to quality control, so some cases are actually good while others come out with bad quality. As creators, we work really hard on our content, to build our brand, and build our audience. The last thing I want to do is lie to my audience and have them spend their hard earned money on something that’s bad. I spend hundreds of dollars on cases myself and don’t want to be lied to either.
Not attacking you or directing anything toward you, of course. Just wanted to mention it, that’s all.
i16 Pro Camera Control case:
I love these matte cases, I usually buy from Torras however they didn't have one like this with camera control.
Ok, so this case is really nice. I compared to my Torras one (without the button). This new one is smaller in all directions, but seems just as sturdy.
- Buttons: There are no separate hard pieces, so I will give this to Torras, but this is still better than Apple's official one.
- Camera Control: surprisingly good! I'd say it's 85% compared to Apple's official one and MILES better, than having a cut-out.
- Magnets: stronger than either Apple or Torras (which was already stronger than Apple)
Sidenote, I also tried the FNTCase (the other simple matte one I could find with camera control). This one is not that good. Magnets are weaker, than any other case I tried, and the case itself if larger in all directions than the Jueshituo.
15.99, comes with two glass screen protectors.
I will upload some photos later.

EDIT: Jueshituo has missaligned magnets, Magsafe charging is extremely slow. DO NOT BUY!

No, the Paragon never really pulled me. Anyway at this point it wouldn’t stand a chance for me personally against my thinny thin.
Sold my Pitaka and went all out on Nomad Traditional Leather for a few months. Realized that I missed my Pitaka for its slimness and here we are, bought the exact same Pitaka again.
But, does the weaving looks slanted here?

Still rocking the TineeOwl! Fantastic case and great value.
Apparently you don’t know who you’re talking to.
Thanks for confirming. Reached out to Pitaka support. Let's see what they say about this.
Not me, if it sucks, I'll tell you it sucks
Got the Pitaka instead of the Pitaka.
Unfortunately no. Bought it from my local authorized retailer.
Have reached out to Pitaka for a solution. Also just noticed that there are uneven bumps on the case as well.
Oh well shouldn't have sold my perfect Pitaka in the first place.
Exactly , most talk BS about a case to make money ….i trust this forum more than YT so called reviews.
I'm afraid, that Pitaka will do nothing with it when you bought it from retailer.
I was already in contact with Pitaka about issue with product that I bought from local reseller and they send me to this reseller. So I return it there.
Caudate & Phone Rebel on the same slow boat from China 😩
We’re nearly half way through the annual cycle, it almost doesn’t seem worth it at this point. I suppose there are more people on two year plans, but at least for this crowd, it all feels like too little, too late.
