Not sure I have seen real life pics here of the Benks Aramid Fiber so here are a couple….

Very well built case in my opinion.. metal buttons (they do rattle a lot when the case is off, didn’t remember to check with it on the phone) but the oily fingerprints seem to wipe off much easier than my Mous Aramid. Very slim design and lightweight… I sent back only because I don’t need another case that I feel like I can’t handle it the way I want in order to keep the fingerprints to a minimum, I try to only let my fingers touch the sides subconsciously… I get OCD about my case looking gross. If fingerprints didn’t bother me it might be in my top case list. For now, back in the trusty Catalyst!

I have a love hate relationship with apple leather cases but I always end up in them as well. I love bullstraps leather quality and the natural patina of the leather. But damn even though the apple cases get that tacky feeling, they still feel the best in hand.

Here is the wear and tear from my Apple leather after a year with my 13 Pro Max. Fitment and buttons are great but it just doesn't hold up too well from the lightest damage say from a scratch or nick.

Don’t we all!

I start out in a case, usually apple leather or a clear spigen, use the case for about 6 months, look at other cases, and then end up not using a case at all.

Phone has been naked except for a MagSafe pop socket since mid January lol

Ordered a black Symmetry + from Amazon and it came in this generic box :(
Ships and sold by Amazon but come on with this generic box. Could this be a bootleg Otterbox?

that's a legit OtterBox box. my otter grip from OtterBox directly came in something similar

btw: i love the otter grip case. so comfortable to use, the pop-out grip is great. BUT WARNING to all ocd case users (i consider myself one) the back of the case scratches just by looking at it. i first bought a blue one from OtterBox and while waiting for UPS Mail Innovations (painfully slow) i saw them on amazon for next day delivery so i ordered a black one. i don’t charge via MagSafe so that's not it. the scratches on the black one after a day of use was bad random scratches on the grip and on the back. I've been super careful with the blue one, when i grab it so my nails don’t scratch it, and when placing on a surface. well it has a couple random scratches already. im going to try to ignore them since i like the functionality of the case so much. who knows, this case might cure my ocd.

I have been unable to find them on Amazon. Do you have a link?
