Same here! I was loving my regular black Benks ArmorAir like your Pitaka but got an ArmorTint last week and I absolutely love the grip and texture feel to it.
Also the fingerprints are way less significant than regular black (which I don’t mind that much but really appreciate “the upgrade”)
So I’m surprised that I haven’t seen more about this case but I just received this Supcase today and it’s way better than the UAG version of it. Has cam button and everything! Only 28 bucks on Amazon. It has a hard plastic back that is frosted and shows zero fingerprints. Excellent clicky buttons, and camera button works well from what I can tell. And lastly, the USB C port is covered so it is very comfy on the ole pinky.
Pardon the iPad quality pics.. lol

It sounds as if this case is similar to the Pitaka Tactile Woven cases which also have more texture and fewer fingerprints than the standard aramid/kevlar cases.
Yes I would assume so. The weaves feel like little bumps all over the case vs the smooth finish of the regular black. It feels so nice in the hand and creates more grip/less fingerprints. Almost hard to go back to regular black after this.
Just got this in today. Feel real good in hand. The aramid is too smooth and slippery but I like how it feels and looks.
Brand is Lonli. Never heard of it. I purchased from eBay. Its still brand new but got it for a good price.
Camera cutout has a good access point, good sliding feel. Back camera has good lip as does the case all around. The back has somewhat of a small lip as well. When in pocket I kinda get confused which side is the front. Aramid feels very smooth. Buttons clickiness feel good. They’re responsive but could be better clickiness. They feel like Ryan London clicks. The bumper almost feels like a Caudabe. Very good grip in hand.

With these cases being so damn rigid why don't they have full coverage? I hate the look of all of the cutouts. Does anyone make a thin aramid case with no cutouts (except the CC button)?
I bought a mobile skin for my iphone from gadgetshieldz. I bought it from there, because of quality. Let me know if sonmeone has bought from there as well.
Nomad Magma was ordered this morning. It will be here on Friday.
Ended up ordering for Pro Max initially so had to place another order for Pro lol.
Luckily it was ordered via Amazon.

UAG Pathfinder magsafe case in heritage yellow... Superb colour
Love the Pathfinder, just...needs....a.....camera button. 😩
Nah it's fine without it...
The Spigen case is good; but it does get a bit boring just being all black and the UAG case colours really pop
The camera button is spotless; even with my rough hands etc
It's good you're cool with it. UAG are a bit generous with the hole though.
After ordering the Nomad Magma Rocky Point strap, I'm tinkering with getting the case too. 🙀
Just not sure, bright colours are new for me. What is the cutout like to use? How do the concave sides feel in hand.

Damn, I like that. Would go good with the Rocky point SOL band 😊
Just looked and they have a matching band also 😳 when does their Black Friday sale start?

The UAG cases are solid; I've big hands/fingers so it suits me
I've got the Nomad Yellow Rocky Point strap for my black AWU2 also and that suits the UAG case well/vice versa
The current Nomad cases for the 16PM are boring. They did a superb orange one for the 15PM
I wrote off UAG this year but that yellow Pathfinder has my attention
Can you post a pic with the Pathfinder and Rocky point band together? Thanks
It's in my office drawer and I can't go in as it's all covered ready for the ceiling to be painted
However I've got my Ultimal yellow strap on and they're a good match also
