Super-slim case hunt

[dmaz67]

Are all of the Pitaka cases the same thickness? Looking for an ultra slim case with magsafe and no cutouts (except camera control, I can deal with that one). The pickings seem slim

ultra slim 600d-.55mm
tactical woven 1500d- 1.04mm

IN the hand, both feel very slim, but you can feel the slight difference in the ultra being thinner and lighter with the bonus of 600d. The tactical woven does offer some better designs and a different texture. I prefer the ultra, but would be happy wit the tactical if I didn't have Bothe to compare and feel the difference.

I've purchased several from Amazon (the black Torras and some generic stuff) for my iPhone 16 Pro, but they're all slick and shiny, catching any oil whatsoever. I'd like a textured or matte one

Any suggestions?

PS - it's not for drop protection at all, so as thin as it gets works just fine. Might consider a skin by dbrand instead, not sure yet.. prefer dark blue in color

Caudate Veil is really nice for an ultra thin. Checks all my boxes, especially a grippy side and ample screen/camera protection.

my hesitation with this one, no magnetic ring for MagSafe

I used a Caudabe last year for my iP 15 PM, and it did have the ring.. and I use MagSafe very heavily (car mount, night stand, desk charging, etc)

It will but probably not strong enough for situations like in a car as any drive through hump could easily shake the phone off the MagSafe mount 🤣🤣

That is very unfortunate because it looks like it has the same grip as the sheath but much thinner.

I love this one, minus the branding.. ugh, but it's very nice!

So far, I bought a super-cheap one on Amazon to 'tide me over' while I tried two others.. and it turns out, so far I like the cheap junkie one the best over the two 'real choices' I tried

I'll keep watching for other super-thin Mag-safe cases. Totalee has a skinny one that's only white or black, wish they had something with color also

Ugh, I wish the iPhone 17 Pro would hurry up and get here already 😂

My feelings on branding are, “It depends.” In the instance of Pitaka I don’t really mind because I like the font and I like how the silver camera surround matches the silver ink. On the other hand, Casetify, Phone Rebel, and Mous, to name a few, can really ruin a case with their poor design choices.

Yep, this is a huge downside

I could care less what’s the branding. lol

Added yet another one to my pitaka collections. Love it on my desert titanium.

Could you post a few photos with the phone in it?
Thanks 🙂

But the bottom is not fully enclosed. The edge above the charging port is exposed.

;' is 21g as well

They’re both very similar. Benks wins for me as it’s cheaper

Ok, I give Benks a try. Recieved few days ago. Very nice case, but it's definitely not 21 grams 😄


Well, I can't stand it and bought Pitaka Sunset.
I must say, this case is peace of art and the top of light aramid cases. Highest quality, top notch weaving (regular not like on Benks) and mainly SUPERLIGHT! Really only 21 grams! I don't want to believe it!

Looks great! Is that weight for the Pro or Pro Max?

I just really hate that pitaka branding.
