My Pitaka Forest replacement is much better than my original. Snaps into place and more snug too. I have the Sunset variant coming tomorrow. Don’t see myself using any other cases for a long time. Might have to purge some of the collection that won’t ever get usage anymore.

Yup, this looks immaculate! I've always been a leather case guy and still use them however with the CC button I have been loving my silicone case and recently purchased a Latercase from unbox therapy..super similar to Pitaka, benks ect..and I LOVE it.

I'm a little apprehensive to open up that thin case can of worms just yet :confused:

Oh no you don’t 😂 gotta get on the bus. So comfortable in the hand, no fingerprints, the annoying uncomfortable cc cutout issues like all the other cases. Yea it’s a cutout, but so flush and comfortable in hand to use if you want.

Purge some of the collection you have. These Pitaka cases are top shelf

Are we getting Soto is the question I need answered. Forget about Pitaka cases 😂

Do you use MagSafe? Wondering how well the Latercase works on a charger.

I recently got the Caudabe Paragon and I’m loving it so far!

The only thing I’m not too keen on is that my old screen protector is way too thick. I’m currently using the Torras one, but I’m hoping to avoid ordering the Caudabe ones. It would be great if it had a black border too. Any suggestions?

Funnily enough, Caudabe put an Insta post up about theirs a short while ago.

Theirs appears to have a black border too.
 
Just when I gave up on cases now I’m tempted to pick this up .. does it have a nice tight fit ? On YouTube I recall some benks and pitakas had a corner that popped out easy but than again I barely trust YouTube reviews anymore . I trust this these forums with real users 😀
Nothing pops out. Everything is nice and tight. In hand it feels so nice with the aramid fiber weave and the color gives it a nice pop similar to a tan leather case with a patina. The aluminum camera ring matches perfect with my natural titanium. If you get it you won’t be disappointed. Now I want the green one but it’s sold out for the 16 pro. I would like the aurora air but I already have the aurora pro.

I also got the montage pro (wearing right now), classic MagSafe ring stand(wearing right now) and the 10k power bank. I need to share pics of the power bank with the cases cause the fitting on the 16 pro is so spot on on each case. No overlapping the camera. This is too addicting. Benks keeps taking my money lol.

Hey, for those using the Benks Armor Air. How snug is the fit of the case in the bottom right corner? I think mine is a bit loose, I can easily press it down there.

At .29mm the Belkin UG2 is the thinnest glass screen protector that I’m aware of. There are sapphire protectors that are thinner, but they’re quite expensive and I can’t vouch for the quality. The Belkin doesn’t have a black edge, but due to the thinner phone bezels this year black borders can be problematic, so you may want to avoid them anyway.

Belkin UltraGlass 2 - .29 mm
ESR Armorite - .30 mm
FloLab - .33 mm
Spigen Glas.tR - .51 mm
Torras GlassGo - .71 mm

I got the Pitaka in Moonrise this morning. Tried it on for 10 seconds and didn't like it. Feeling the edges where all the cutouts are was a no go. It's also pretty expensive for a case that slim at $60. Back in the Sheath for me.
Don’t mean to be a hater but it’s so overpriced in my opinion for what it is. Doesn’t feel good in the hands. To each their own. I am forever in debt to whoever recommended the Gen 6 to me. I’m so freaking in love with it. So silky smooth. Who needs a GF when u can hold your Gen 6 at night. 😍

Still in the Moonrise over here today. Feeling
Yeah, but if they are releasing them really soon, shoudn’t they start racking up pre-orders for the new version anyway?
It probably depends upon how many cutout versions are sitting in the warehouse.
