Exactly my experience after using these types of cases.Such a nice case, one of my most used last year. That said, I’ve become so acclimated to super skinny cases now that even going back to the Apple Silicone feels bulky.
Got a tip for us?

I'm tempted to try the Caudabe Veil case..........waiting for their Black Friday deals to hitSuch a nice case, one of my most used last year. That said, I’ve become so acclimated to super skinny cases now that even going back to the Apple Silicone feels bulky.
I haven’t tried the Veil myself, but I’ve heard that the cutouts are so close to the buttons that they make it difficult to press them.
What ultra thin cases would you say are worth looking at? Anything other than the pitaka/benks?Such a nice case, one of my most used last year. That said, I’ve become so acclimated to super skinny cases now that even going back to the Apple Silicone feels bulky.
I haven’t had much experience with these types of aramid fiber cases, but I’ll share a few thoughts.
I checked out a friend’s Latercase but never owned one. It looked nice, but the lack of MagSafe was a deal breaker for me. Thinborne is heavily promoted on social media, but I can’t help but feel like they’re rebranded AliExpress cases (they deny it). Then there are the no-name knock-offs on Amazon and AliExpress that I would advise against. I tried a couple of them, and they were pretty bad.
I believe that leaves Pitaka and Benks. Pitaka was the original, while Benks is a bit of a copycat, which is perfectly acceptable in my opinion. Benks are a better value, but I believe Pitaka has better quality control and a better finish (although others may disagree). Plus, I like their colors better (it’s totally subjective).
That’s my two cents. 😊

That’s fair enough but then there are other non clear cases which have the same issue. I don’t think it’s something that solely affects clear cases.
Thanks. Realized I was in the wrong thread after I hit post. Already contacted mods to delete.
