I enjoyed the first one. Thin, great grip, great MagSafe, just ended up a scratch magnet.
Got a tip for us?

Okay. I think I do need to get this now.Back in the Moonstone. Grip is top shelf in my opinion. Wish it had a touch more lip though. What’s with these companies with no lip pro this year. This years cases are such a disappointment.
Don’t suppose you could post some pics of the front view?

It’s basically a Lumen without the sparkles.
thatappleguytoday got me pulling out the good ole Paragon case tonight. Man, this case would be a total winner with the CC button 
That’s a beauty. How’s the front lip above the screen? It’s tapered like the Mous, correct?thatappleguytoday got me pulling out the good ole Paragon case tonight. Man, this case would be a total winner with the CC button

Yea, higher on the top and bottom, barely any lip at all with a screen protector on.
REALLY digging that home screen layout matching with the case. Mind if I ask what widget you're using for the calendar?thatappleguytoday got me pulling out the good ole Paragon case tonight. Man, this case would be a total winner with the CC button

It's actually one that I purchased for a couple of dollars. I'll look for the guy and post his link here.
Here is the matching lock screen, perfect match with these orange cases.
Do you think they’ll make a purple veil ? I just got the purple sheath.
Nice one!
I'm currently rocking Pitaka Sunset and it's absolutely great with Desert Titanium.
The progress that Pitaka cases made is incredible. I like how it looks this year. I have both Ultra Slim and Sunset and love pattern and grip on Sunset. The best thing is that even with this Tactile Woven, Sunset is still very slim and light. It has only 21 grams on Max!
I had Pitaka No Problemo case for test and that was thicker and heavier (27 grams).
I also have Benks GoldenTide, but can't compare with Pitaka. It's few generations behind. Benks is thicker and heavier. It has also sharp corners. Quality of weaving is poor. I also don't like those slits at the bottom.
On iP14PM I really enjoyed Arc Pulse. I have it also for 16PM, but this time it's not that great and Pitaka wins for me.

There had better be some kind of advantage of the Pitaka over the Benks considering the price difference. That is if you think that 6 grams is that much of an advantage.
I’ve had Pitakas in the past. They are very nice. Not enough difference between them and the Benks for the price being asked.
Enjoy your Pitaka. I love my Benks.
It's about feel in the hand. 6 grams is huge difference for me. And not even weight, but also thickness. Benks is simple bigger and I don't have caseless feel with it. There is also big difference in quality.
I had Pitaka cases since iPhone XR. Never had problems with scratching. When I had 14PM, Benks ArmorAir scratched my frame. Since then I focused on weaving quality and finish. Pitaka is definitely better.
With those facts, I can accept price difference, but in my country, there is almost zero difference.
BTW. did you tried Pitaka or just Benks?
Looks great. I also have the Ultra Slim and prefer the finish and feel of the Tactile Woven. More grip and fewer fingerprints. I wish they made a black/gray case with the TW finish and texture.
Benks makes nice cases but their quality control could be tightened up. Literally every one I’ve had has had some small defect (three cases this year). They also claim their cases are lighter than they actually are. They’re a good value for sure, but in my opinion they need to up their game to compete with Pitaka on fit and finish. That said, I had a camera ring on a Pitaka come loose this year, so they aren’t perfect either.
Weird. I must say that fit of both UT and TW is just perfect in every aspect including camera ring this year (and may be of all time). It looks like you have just wrong piece (I can compare another sunset case few days ago and I was very surprised, that it has different pattern and fit wasn't that great).
"huge"? OK? 6 grams is inconsequential to me on my 227 gram Pro Max.
😆You must have micrometers for fingers if you can tell any difference.
No there isn't. I've had both.
Yes, I have had both as I stated in my other post. I've also had a $20 clone from aliexpress. The Benks and Pitaka are interchangeable and trying to find any meaningful difference is just picking nits. The aliexpress one was of lesser quality but not by a lot.
If you want to nit-pick, the Pitaka has the big ugly branding messing up the beauty of the case. So there's that.
God knows when will they be available for sale.
I can always sell these on ebay at cost.
