I hope it’s not a long wait of disappointment.. can’t seem to trust YouTube reviews but here’s hoping 🤷‍♂️
I hope that it’s as tight as some say along the sides

yes they will. the shipping service is much better when they have them in the US. they have a warehouse two blocks away from me in so cal. my prestige though shipped from china. it took like 3 days for it to start its journey. took like 10 days to be delivered.

You can see the poor fitment in the front of the case.
Especially this guy having a white iPhone you can see the white titanium being exposed on the top right corner.
I tried an Aurora Pro a little bit ago and experienced the same exact thing.
Hope all you guys are receiving some good fitting ones.
My OCD didn’t allow me to accept that especially after being used to Caudabe’s fitment standards so I’m just over here still rocking my Aurora ArmorAir with 0 complaints lol
 
Just to give an idea, when I order from Benks I expect approx 10 days sometimes less from order confirmed to delivered.

I live in the west coast and my orders come thru LAX. After it arrives to airport and clears customs it takes about 1-2 days the most to my doorstep in Northern California.

Yes Benks ships directly from China. Ymmv depending what part of the world you live in.

On side note I haven’t taken Benks prestige off my iPhone other than quick pics with other cases. I’ve started to use cc more and more with the button.

Nice collection. How much use do these get compared to your Arc Pulse?

Pretty often. All Xmas time I was with Sunset and Forest. Yesterday, when I taky this photo I switch to Arc Pulse for some time.

How do they fit? My Forest Green Ultra Slim has a corner that is very loose, but support is sending me a replacement already.

Do all of your units fit tight? I love the case otherwise, tempted to pick up more colors and models and from Pitaka.

Ultra thin and Sunset fits perfectly.
Forest green doesn't stick well on the left side (under volume buttons).
New PTK pattern fits the worst.

How can I proceed to try get replacement?

Email Pitaka support, they will ask for the serial number and a short video.

Fit is good all around. Doesn’t feel loose. However, buttons rattle a bit when case is on and you shake it.

Top edge and all around where buttons aren’t present is firm with minimal pull but where the buttons are located and bottom there’s bit more pull but nothing like silicone pull whatsoever. Minimal screen lip with glass protector. No pinky digging in the bottom. Cc is very responsive to press/sliding gestures.

I did notice in certain angles you can see the bezel edges but phone is secured nonetheless.

In hand it feels nice and firm but with a minimal tight fit all around that won’t slip out your hands. In pockets it’s easily accessible to put in and take out.

MagSafe is very strong as it takes the power bank and ring firmly. MagSafe accessories will do good with this case.

Overall a great looking case all around with enough protection to keep the phone safe. With the addition of the cc button it makes for a very good option for those who opt for an updated mid minimal case.

My Benks order tracking gives a codes, one for the Royal Mail UK when it arrives this side.

Glad to see Benks finally getting some love here.
 
While I'm on a Benks trip, I might as well order this one from Amazon?

Or should I get this one with the buttons?

What ya think?
