Damn, how many of these cases do you have? These two here show no fingerprints?
Here’s my current collection. Returned the Benks; it’s a nice case but mine had tiny defects in the corners and finish that were bugging me.

They all show some fingerprints, but less than the black aramid with the smooth finish that you’re familiar with (shown below on the left). A quick wipe down in the morning with a slightly dampened microfiber cloth takes care of it for the rest of the day for me. YMMV.

The black one has the worst fingerprints? Out of this group which shows the least fingerprints?

Yes the black one by far. It’s not just that it’s black, but it also has a different, smoother finish. Among this group, the 3 on the right are the best, with the one on the far right being just slightly ahead of the others. I guess you could say they’re best to worst from right to left.

Are they all metal camera rings?
 
returned my uag pathfinder today. They were nice enough to do a one time courtesy and accept my return. I told them the truth, which is I’m not using the case. I just don’t like the way it feels the grip is condescending to me where I have other cases that feels so good that I wanna keep using my phone because of it lol I also figured it to help me justify getting the MOUS case and I’m totally gonna see if that camera control button can be put into my GEN 6 lol
 
Case closed. Pitaka must be more honest than Benks’ vague material descriptions lol
They had a mix last year, but Pitaka is using only metal camera rings throughout their lineup this year. Not sure why Benks isn’t more clear, can’t tell if it’s subterfuge or simply poor copy writing… lol.

Off the Benks and Pitaka subject. Have you tried the PR Flex? If so any thoughts? Haven’t seen too many people rave about it this year.

Im really disappointed with Caudabe.

Last year there were short comings to in other areas but they gave us that action button. And revised it and perfect it.

It’s a shame they are not doing the cc button. Maybe they know their cases are perfect in every other areas.

I even tried the scratched Otterbox Symmetry with cc button for an hour or two but Sheath is Sheath.

In other news I will never buy a clear case again. Worst thing ever to go on an iPhone.

I tried one last year but didn’t keep it. It’s kind of cool, but in my opinion at 46 grams it needs to be much lighter for what it gives up in protection. I’m more likely to give the Arc Pulse a try before trying another Flex.
