After a couple of days in the Pitaka Edge, I’m back in the Beats Rugged today. Something I knew, but was too nonchalant about, cost me a screen protector and a narrow miss. These thin Pitakas really have to always be laid down with the screen face up—there is zero lip. When you lay it face down, two things are likely to happen. One, you’re going to scratch your screen or screen protector in short order (it took a day); and two, at some point your phone is going to slide off of whatever surface you’ve set it on. Both happened to me yesterday.
The sliding thing will catch you off guard. If you set it face down on a smooth surface, the phone essentially floats on the surface, and when you’re not looking, it will inch its way downhill on whatever tiny slope there is until it drops off the edge. This happened on an ottoman this time—earlier this year it was on a dining room table. Fortunately there was no visible damage, but I’m feeling like the risk is too high running an ultra thin with this phone.
