I have to say i was skeptical, but i read a review here about BENKS Aramid fiber case,
and it's Awesome!!
Looks great, feels protective, magnets are super strong, after a few days i'm using it feels much better then cases like Otterbox Symmetry plus, or Nomad
I think I finally found a replacement to Apple Leather Case.
got any pics of it?

I love the ESR Air Armor. Beautifully clear, magnets are very very strong, first use I pulled the air vent out my cars dashboard! Not too slippery and ultra clear…currently 50% off too!

I’m back in my black symmetry +. Very fond of the clean look and fit of the case. The only design flaw imo is the odd small cut out at the top. Smartish does the same

Finally received the caudabe sheath and synthesis. The sheath definitely feels bulkier and “girthier”. Ahem ladies... channeling my inner flossy carter 😂

Synthesis is more of a hard plastic but feels lighter in hand. Not sure which one I prefer yet.

Peak design mobile case was very nice as well. Works well with MagSafe and their slim link attachment for motorbike or bicycle.

Another Peak Design Everyday case reporting in. This one is with a built-in finger loop. I don't have my iPhone 14 PM yet, but here are some quick impressions:
  1. The loop is quite stiff, but I can comfortably secure one finger in it. It sits flat against the case when used.
  2. The case has very strong magnets—as expected; my Peak Design Wallet (with the stand) sits very securely at the back of this.
  3. The side material is definitely different from my PD case for my S21. It has more grip.
  4. The back fabric also feels smoother but that might be down to—lack of—use.
  5. The camera cutout looks good but I will report back when I actually use the case.
  6. On both sides of the loop, there are pushed-down areas on the inside of the case (second photo). If I am right, some layers of plastic are missing because there is a tiny magnet to keep the loop down. I doubt that affects protection.

Caudabe Synthesis initial impressions after the first few hours of use:
- This is gonna be really slippery when it’s raining and I’m out and about.
- The enlarged camera bump cutout not only looks aesthetically unpleasing, but my left index finger constantly pokes against it while using the phone. Annoying.
- Love the colour, thinness, weight.
- Phone feels a little warmer under use compared to with the Apple Leather.

I’ve been in the synthesis for 2 months (changing rarely) the only issue I have is exactly your second point. It is quite odd looking, and makes me wish for a different design
