this was their reply to me, “We want to assure you that all of our cases have been thoroughly tested for a secure and precise fit. The slight gap near the charging port is part of the design, intentionally made to accommodate a wider variety of third-party USB-C chargers. This change was based on feedback from previous models where the tighter cutout only fit Apple’s original charger.”
Got a tip for us?

The gap has nothing to do with the size of the opening, of course. There are plenty of cases with sufficiently large openings that don’t have that air gap. I call BS.
There is no way you can feel a gap that’s on the inside of the case when swiping. I’ve had cases with these gaps and there’s just no way
the gap is not on the inside. the leather hugs against the iphone all around until it gets to the bottom where it doesn’t hug the phone but there’s a space. you can feel the edge of the iphone when swiping up. i think @Hooterville has called this a saggy butt on other cases with this problem. i don’t think you understand what the gap is.
well you can see and touch the metal edge on the phone. definitely feels different then swiping when the case fits properly. do you work for RL?
Very nice match! But very cheap version 🤣🤣.
Titanium just came here!
Different packaging, feels different. It's just premium and top quality.
What I was very surprised is weight, because it's heavier than aluminum by 6 grams!

Very nice! Since the form factor is the same I would expect the titanium model to be heavier - titanium is around 1.5 times heavier than aluminum by volume. It is much stronger though, hence the 23 foot drop protection claim.
Let us know how the tungsten carbide finish holds up over time. It should be very tough.
Enjoy!

NICE and I’m over here waiting for a TineeOwl 😢 I need that titanium 😁
Thought about the Arc Pulse for a nano second. It does look class. I just can't commit, too risky if dropped. Yep have AC+ but any superficial damage would pee me off.
Plus my thick Torras screen protector has sharp edges that can't be felt in a 'proper' case. (Perfect install so don't want to change unless damaged).
Enjoy seeing pics of you guys' Arc Pulses though. 👍🏻

You summed it up for me as well.
I would love to order Arc Pulse and Pitaka thin cases but i cant lol.
Also my 9 year old son uses our iPhones when out and about at restaurant etc.
That’s crazy. They need to warehouse their products elsewhere.
They don’t. They told me they don’t currently have one in the works either.
I'll just order pitaka one, idc about the cc control anymore lol, anyone have a discount code for pitaka lol is it even worth $80?
Your Amazon experience deserves its own documentaryThat POS hasn't even shipped yetAmazon waits 2-3 days just to ship my crap, no wonder my delivery date is so far out
It's snowing in Florida, so maybe another delay...........
Be aware that their “Pro” model this year has zero screen lip. I’d suggest ordering through Amazon if you can - Pitaka returns are not the easiest.
Yeah that's where I'll order it at, surprised I couldn't find one discount code....
This looks great, I’m close to ordering just want to see how this holds up against scratches…
They making special case for you with one of a kind CC button 😉3 days later and my TineeOwl hasn't even shipped yet
