I decided to case I keep going back to, is the dbrand Ghost 2.0. It’s the best clear case I ever had. It has some micro scratches, but other than that it is fine. I love the side grips and the buttons. And the camera control is okay.

I tried other cases, but I keep missing the Ghost then.
 
It’s quite refreshing coming from ”bulkier” chases :)
It’s so hard for me to like any other cases anymore after having used these thin cases for a while now. They just all feel bulky and heavy, I will definitely continue using thin cases for future iPhones.

I do have Ridge cases coming in but I doubt they will dethrone my Benks ArmorAir. They got my interest because I have been using their wallets for years and love them so figured I’d try their cases.

After the Ridge cases there is nothing else out there that pulls me.

The aqua looks tasty. All I can think of are fruit scented erasers 🤣
lol 😂 what era did you grow up in? I never got those erasers!! Now u feel gyped!

I do think this color is so clean and refreshing looking. I wore the periwinkle for the last 24 hrs but I was kinda eager to get to this one!
 
Thanks for that.

Hard pass from me, definitely lilac
I’m starting to like the aqua more anyway😂 I like periwinkle and will keep but I wish they made it lighter.

Periwinkle with my OG lilac band.

The Aqua matches (close enough anyway) my beryl sport band from a few years ago and even ice blue ocean band I have for my ultra.

Pitaka feels slightly refined but personally I’m happy with Benks quality.

The cost is lower and it has full coverage at the bottom unlike the Pitaka and no phone frame exposure at the top of the case (Pitaka).

Also each corner has a slight raise creating small lay on the table protection (if you don’t have a screen protector).

I also prefer the angled cutouts for the buttons on the Benks vs Pitaka’s squared cutouts (small detail)

I prefer Benks small branding on the camera frame vs “PITAKA” on bottom of the case.

Don’t get me wrong Pitaka cases are really nice. Benks just hits more marks for me.

Ridge case finally arrived today. Tight fit, good buttons, quite slippery, camera control button works but is easy to activate and pretty damn finicky. CC button Phone Rebel or Apple quality, NO, but it works :rolleyes: Do I recommend to purchase this case, NO :(

****UPDATE**** After using the case overnight the CC button is not really that bad. It's real sensitive and takes some getting used to but works pretty well. The back is a fingerprint magnet and the case is pretty slippery. Otherwise, it's not really that bad.

Here are some pics:

Being a fan of orange and black, I'm biased but I like the look :). Care to share that lovely wallpaper?

Wow so not a recommendation?

I spent $250 on apple cases so I wasn’t planning on this. Unless you said it was a knockout then I might have lol
