My experience with Pitaka from previous years is the grip improves with use. Can be slippery when new

Dead jealous. 😞
Is your tracking number Royal Mail?
Just checking mine now and it's just updated to say they have it and delivery tomorrow.
Bit strange that they've just sent me the buttons as I'm sure they say they don't send until all items available.
Maybe it's a mistake and the case arrives too. 🤞🏻
I want to try this sideless Aulumu case SO bad but can’t get past the $70 entry fee:
No. Mine is coming from China via Yun Express and last mile is Evri.

I just ran it under the sink water and squirted some hand soap over it to try to make it bubbly 😂 installed fine. The water ran all the soap off so just run it under water and slap it on.
Nice! I converted to ultra slim last year with the 16PM and now it’s my go to type of case as well.
Last year the Benks Aurora ArmorAir was the one. This year I thought the Pitaka Moonrise was the one but I had to try the Over The Horizon and the Milky Way Galaxy as well to make sure I made the right choice.
The Milky Way Galaxy is by far my favorite of those 3 and it looks great paired with the Deep Blue, well any of those 3 designs do.
Completely satisfied with it for this phone and returned the other two. I’ll definitely be sticking with Pitaka for the 18 as well. Which design did you opt for and paired with what color iPhone?
Nifty case, but pricey. I like the open sides.I want to try this sideless Aulumu case SO bad but can’t get past the $70 entry fee:
Silver iPhone and I just went with the black Pitaka. Boring but I quite like the silver/black contrast. I was interested in the more colourful designs but wasn’t sure if I’d go off it over time. I always end up with the black!
Nice silver/black is a clean classic combo! I like the black as well but I just personally prefer 1500D over 600D, the texture is nicer, feels more rigid and less fingerprints. If only they made a black 1500D version. I have yet to see that in any aramid fiber case.
Are these TW worth a pick up do you think? It seems to have gotten a lot of good feedback.
I have one of the cheap Amazon open side case but it’s got a horrendous cheap carbon look. May be my favorite case but looks SO cheap.

I like it. It’s not my number 1 case but it’s a good everyday case imo
I’ve had this case for the 16 Pro Max and now for the 17 Pro Max and both times the fit has been bad. I would pass.I want to try this sideless Aulumu case SO bad but can’t get past the $70 entry fee:
Yea I will probably pick one up just to have another good option.
I want to try out the Pitaka again this year, freaking loved it last year. That and the silicone stayed on the phone for 90% of the year. Have you removed the Pitaka yet and inspected the phone for scratches? That's the only thing holding me back.
Quick review on the Beats Rugged phone case. Initially, it has a slippery matte soft touch that quickly wears down and gains a bit more grip. While it’s still slippery, as everyone says, I’ve managed to avoid dropping the phone. The case feels cheap for the price, almost like the same material as those Nylabones for dogs. I say it does provide some protection, but in the iPhone 4 way, where more rubber and plastic around the edges meant better drop protection.

Is the camera bump of the pro same size as the pro max. I think it is. Just checking.
I’m personally not overly concerned as I upgrade every year but nonetheless I’ve taken the case(s) off multiple times from trying the different designs and not a single scratch.
Also side note I like how the exposed aluminum this year even in the darker Deep Blue color isn’t a fingerprint magnet. Last year the exposed titanium was a fingerprint magnet.
Awesome! I hear ya on the upgrade every year! I do the same, I have to let the Phone OCD go lol.
Great point on the aluminum and fingerprint magnet. Welp, only thing left to do is order! lol. Thank you!
New orders for the 'open' Caudabe Sheath in either color have now slipped to 'mid November', and I don't think anyone has received one of these yet even if it was placed early September(!).
What an absolute sh*tshow from Caudabe.

Everything will be Mid-Nov soon, come Mid-Nov, everything will be Mid-Dec
Total F-ing Clown Show Caudabe has turned into 🤡
Had the shadow case for the Air from Apple and it was way too slippery.
Using a clear ESR case at the moment but feels a little bulky.
Anyone got any other slim Air cases with MagSafe?
