Might’ve snagged the new year of the snake pitaka case for my 16 pro. I’ll post pictures of it whenever it gets here.
That case looks great...and are my eyes deceiving me or did Pitaka finally remove the huge branding they had on the back? Looks like they put the logo on the side at the top.
Which one should I keep?
Spigen tough armor T vs Mous limitless 6.0 with CC
I run a tempered glass protector on screen and a plastic protector over the camera element.
Not liking the loose rubber around the CC button on the Mous case. But the screen bezel is taller than the Spigen case on the top and bottom which means more protection. On the mous case the bezel is nearly nonexistent in the center area where you swipe.
On the Spigen it’s like 0.2mm.
Both bezels for rear camera element are too short when using a protector over the camera element. I tried taking photos to illustrate.
Kickstand in Spigen case is nice.
I’m worried of gunk getting in the gap between the bamboo and the rubber on the Mous case. Spigen case seems more cleanable and hygienic.
I’m leaning toward Spigen but know that mous has terrible customer service and will be a pain to return.

Yeah, I was assuming it would just be a limited edition color release for a band.
The Spigen is a better case at less than half the price; it seems like a no-brainer.
The Mothica Anti Glare glass.
1. Take PRG6 off and clean your screen. Wear a Covid mask to deflect lint sprays.
2. Put PRG6 back on. And do one last wipe.
3. Quickly unpack the Mothica and place it on the screen using your PRG6 as a SP natural placement guide.
I am so happy with this case and SP.
It is so natural. So flawless.
The Mothica AG is made of some kind of magical surface that does not EVAR show fingerprints, dust, or smudges. It is clean clear 24/7.
Greatest combo of all time.
Flawless beauty. Premium feels.
So in love with this combo. GOAT.
I am not a paid poster.
I was a Ringke and PowerSupport guy until I found these 2 perfect products.
Nothing comes close.

SHOULD BE my last order for a while.. the case game ain’t what it used to be in my opinion, but I ordered the Rokform Slim case. I’m surprised that there is no talk of it here, and no reviews on YouTube. So I took it upon myself to check it out for us. They have 25% off right now with code: ROK25
I’ll let you guys know if it’s any good.

Yup. At least for myself, as the phones have continued to grow in size, and as they’ve also gotten tougher and more resistant to damage, I’ve moved away from bulky, heavy duty cases (say anything more substantial than an Apple Silicone). On these already giant phones they just make the device feel too big. The addition of the Camera Control this year was the final nail in the beefy case coffin for me. I suppose I could go to a smaller phone, but I like the big screen (old eyes) and better cameras on the Pro Max.
There’s a pretty high probability that I’ll be going caseless in the near future…

Is the difference between the two just aesthetic, or is there a functional difference? And where does the other Benks with a CC button, the Prestige ArmorPro, fit in with these?
And does a man with 5 cases also need a Benks case?
I’m waiting for them to get in Amazon before I start trying them.
IIRC, the 600D ArmorPro and Montage for this generation uses rubber button cover with slits, while the Prestige and Aurora versions use actual buttons. For those reasons above I would avoid getting the Montage or 600D. Don’t know why they decided to cheap out on those designs.Is the difference between the two just aesthetic, or is there a functional difference?

Doesn’t metal on metal scuff the iPhone buttons ? Perhaps they have a felt under it ?
The past two generations their cases had the metal buttons and never scratched the iPhone buttons. I believe they have a sticker behind them anyway on the inside. I think it’s just cost cutting as to why they went to using the rubber cover slit design and forcing an upsell to those who want actual buttons. I think the Aurora buttons are black plastic actually(they feel like plastic) and the Prestige are the metal ones.
I put off using my 600D ArmorPro due to the change in buttons but eventually put it on and loved it!. The only thing letting it down was the lack of button, so was happy they decided to add it.
Honestly, would have preferred they stayed with the metal buttons but don't let the new design put you off.
Don't like the Aurora colour & pattern and even less so the way the aramid wraps around which lessens the grip.
The new texture on the TPU coated ArmorPro sides are an improvement on the old design.
Which one? I have both the black smoke and clear air jackets. Love them.
Here’s an on wear of the Benks prestige cc. I love how the metal buttons and camera ring match my natural titanium pro perfectly. I haven’t taken it off since I opened it.
The Montage has various aramid weaves in a 'montage', the 600D is one weave pattern.Is the difference between the two just aesthetic, or is there a functional difference? And where does the other Benks with a CC button, the Prestige ArmorPro, fit in with these?

Both 'black'. Also the camera ring is silver on the 600D and black on the Montage which is another obvious distinction.
The Prestige ArmorPro is the same construction as the Aurora but with different colour pattern. Not keen on the Aurora or Prestige colours.
No man needs multiple cases, but who cares, lol.
