I know you’re a fan of the Pitaka Edge (I am too), but I’m too nervous about dropping the aluminum Pro to use it very often. I’m wondering, have you dropped your phone in this case, and if so, how’d it go?
Got a tip for us?

Can't give the purple barney away to the blind 😵💫 Daughter threw it up on eBay, if it sells there, I don't see any of the money 😕 Caudabe sold out and I can't give this POS away. Make me an offer and this beauty could be yours 🤣

I have never dropped my phone and if you can recall last year for the 16PM I pretty much used the Benks ArmorAir the whole time as well and never dropped it then either. (I know titanium vs aluminum is not a fair comparison though)
I have never really been the type to drop my phone so that’s why personally I don’t feel the need to get a bulky case and got hooked on the ultra slims last year when I started using them.

You've only had it up for sale a few days... Give it a chance haha.
Or better still, return and get all your money back

I’m not much of a phone dropper either, but it does happen now and then (like once or twice a year at most) which is enough to give me pause. I didn’t worry about it with the titanium phones because they were so dent resistant, but I’m less relaxed with the aluminum phones. I should probably just get over it—I have AC+ after all…

The return on my Paragon was quick and easy, much smoother than during the busy season. Just sayin’… 😉

They did. I didn’t have to send a photo or video this time either. It was like the old days! 😊

Nice, maybe I'll just return it. That butt ugly purple is giving me nightmares 😖
Just sent them an email and will see how this goes.

I saw these at target lately. They are trying to compete with velvet caviar
Wife’s case of choice; she doesn’t care anything about Camera Control. Oddly doesn’t feel TERRIBLE in hand.

Oh yea and you have AC+!
Yea I’m not concerned at all with my phone.
Just enjoy your phone, too much fear is holding you back from enjoying the unmatched feel and form factor imo 😀
I have a friend who works at Apple who has kept all his phones caseless for a long time now, he is anti case. He said AC+ is enough for him and that he loves enjoying the phone the way it was intended to.
To pay for AC+ and use a bulky case imo seems like overkill lol

You’re right, of course. I was comfortable with the titanium and stainless phones, but all the photos of dented phones on Reddit (which aren’t covered under AC+) is messing with my mind. 😂

Yo Zenso which contest do you have
isnt the Montage the same as the Aurora and Prestige just a different color? It’s at least listed alongside the others. I pulled the trigger last night if the fit or QC aren’t there it’ll go back for credit

Bruv … stop complaining.
Who told you to buy it?
Lol.
I cannot wait for mine to arrive. I like it.

So you would be okay with cosmetic damage, aka dents and scratches? Because AC+ will not cover that.

You made me buy it, enjoy your Barney's once they arrive 🤣

Well I did say “imo” and I know opinions vary.
My opinion is why double dip if you have a bulky super protective case such as all these rugged cases like the Tank, Beats Rugged, Nomad Rugged etc.
They are all easily $50+ cases which provide maximum protection plus paying $140 a year for AC+ doesn’t make sense to me.
Also I’m not even accounting having a whole collection of rugged cases which will then cost you well in the hundreds of dollars. Now you have a full collection of maximum protection cases that you’ve spent hundreds of dollars on and never really needing to utilize your AC+ that you’re dropping $140 on every single year without really utilizing it because you’re in a super protective case anyway.
To me it’s a waste of money but to each their own.
And to answer your question I’m careful with my device and yes like you I like my device to be perfect but if a scratch happens it’s not the end of the world for me. I won’t refrain myself from using the phone the way I enjoy it most because of fear of scratching it. Some people might totally agree, some might think it’s bravery and some might think it’s stupidity to be in an ultra slim case with no screen protector lol
These are all just opinions! 😊

Yeah, that’s my concern. If I get a gnarly dent on a corner, I’ll have to either live with it or replace the phone, which wouldn’t be an easy decision. It’s not so much about cost as it is about being wasteful. That said, having all of these cases that will inevitably end up in a landfill is far from environmentally friendly.

Yup, opinions are like 🫏 — everyone has one. 😆
Often, what feels good emotionally doesn’t make logical sense. That’s the case for me here (no pun intended).
Even though I enjoy debating the technicalities of cases with other weirdos here, ultimately I’m with you in the “whatever floats your boat” camp. 😊
Just pulled the trigger on purple paragon.
Hope it looks better on a blue iphone.
