That's my only nit as well. I was surprised that it doesn't go edge to edge, but I assume there's a reason for that (?) and don't think it'll bother me at all.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, I’ve used the silicone cases with my 8 and 12 phones.
Yes, the firmness holds up. The edges don’t get loose.
I’ve dropped my 12 Pro Max a million times on tile floors. The phone does not (and can not) come out of the case.
I did manage to break a corner of my first silicone case when I dropped the phone. But the phone was unscathed. The second case is still on my 12 three years later.
Yeah the buttons on the Mous Clarity 3.0 feel terrible with absolutely no travel. It's pretty trash.
Caudabe, please send me a gray sheath as soon as possible. I need it.

I got the same case. My first Pitaka. But I didn't know the edge on the metal ring around the camera was a little sharp. Worried it will scratch stuff I set it on with the camera ring down.
You had Pitaka cases in the past? If so, were they as sharp as this case is? Curious if it will indeed scratch things or do you just set the phone face down?
My Synthesis will be here tomorrow or Monday. Currently have a Flo Lab clear case on. Was cheap at like $23. Buttons feel great and grip is pretty good. Weak magnets and the clear back kill it though. Knew it was temporary for free shipping $
Yes the top and bottom are like that but I literally didnt even notice until reading your post. It doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, its a really good case especially for half the cost of bullstrap. The cut-out is as good as it can be. I notice the button every single time I pick up the phone. Every case will be like that. I have the Beats case as well and I like it more than I thought I would, the problem is I still notice the button even though its flush and the case is a huge finger print magnet. Bullstrap will be here in a few days, ill post pictures but I will probably return it in favor of the bellroy.
Seems like people think they used a less porous silicone this year that feels less gross in the hand… ordered one and will see. They’re on sale for $42 at some places still like Best Buy
I would personally choose Denim but I get the appeal of Ultramarine.
I saw them all in Apple Store today and Ultramarine is definitely high on the saturation it is a very nice color but personally I like toned down colors more.
I had an Ultramarine on order from Amazon’s sale but cancelled it and ordered Denim from Best Buy’s sale to add to my Stone Gray which I love but again that’s another very neutral low key color.
Out those 3 choices you’re debating you can’t go wrong with any of them with Desert Ti.
After using the Speck Presidio Grip 2 for a half day, I have a few thoughts:
1) Grip is good and it's a very protective case.
2) Fit is perfect, fits flawlessly with screen protector installed.
3) Camera Control cutout is shaped well and leaves the button easy to use.
4) Related to #3, I think I actually like the cutout as opposed to a protruding button on the case. It protects the Camera Control button from being accidentally pushed while still leaving it easy to use, and it also creates a handy little notch for my finger to grab when pulling the phone out of my pocket. I set the Camera Control button to double-click to open, which should keep it from being accidentally triggered when I inevitably touch it.

I usually hate the apple silicone case but this cutout is really ruining tons of cases for me and it just works so well in the silicone. I’ll be rocking the Ultramarine until the PR Flex is in my hands.
That Torras SP has a black border? Looks like from the pic it's completely ruining the look of the thinner bezels. Would have expected better edge to edge.
