Which Case Did You Get or Recommend For Your New iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max?

[Phone Junky]

How is the grip?

Don't know. Ordered one yesterday.

 

[vine-boating]

No issue with the case. I wanted the Hybrid but ordered the ArmorPro by mistake 🤦‍♂️

What is the differnce between the two?

 

[Yuuuki]

nvm. Changed my post now. I ordered the Benks armor Pro case for now. Should come in Tuesday

 

[RustyBroadsword]

What is the differnce between the two?

The Hybrid is lined with microfiber on the inside, but the ArmorPro isn’t. Also, the ArmorPro has a tighter 600D weave for the aramid fiber.

 

[Yuuuki]

Can anyone please explain to me what’s the difference between the Benks case where one has 600D and the other 1500D? I’m so confused. The one with 1500D seems to have some fiber inside which the other one don’t has.

Pitaka has a good page that explains it:

With the Benks cases, the Hybrid (1500D) has a microfiber lining, but the ArmorPro (600D) doesn’t.

Thank you so much! That’s explain to me why the 600D is a bit more expensive.

Is it? It looks like both models are $40 right now…

So which one is the better case? In terms of protection and overall feel?

Ok… then they’re both 37,99 EUR.

 

[Yuuuki]

Yeah sorry I did buy on Amazon, it’s easier if I would want to return it.

Protection should be identical. The TPU around the sides seems to be identical. The material on the back is the only noticeable difference once the phone is in.

The 600D feels smoother to me. The pattern on the 1500D feels more raised. I prefer the look of the 600D because it's more subtle and almost looks like solid black until you get close to it.

Thanks for the reply
What about the Hybrid and Air case?
It's quiet confusing tbh because there are many different versions of the cases.

I just want a protective case which has good grip as the Pro Max is heavy as it is, so you need good grip!

I feel like we’ve talked a lot about Hybrid vs. ArmorPro already.

I didn’t buy an ArmorAir because I don’t personally like the exposed sides, but that’s going to be more of a minimalist case. Thinner, lighter, weaker magnets, etc.

 

[Yuuuki]

Leather has the best grip in my experience. It don’t moves a single bit. At least in my hands.

I got nothing new

Here it is

Are you located in the US? Oddly enough it says "ships to United States", but then under it it says "cannot be shipped to my address" I live in NJ so I was wondering if anyone based in the US was able to make this work.

Here is the link people provided before: https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0l3Xji

This is right up my alley... All the "knock off" silicon cases on amazon are thicker around the edges compared to apple's. So finding an exact replica (minus not having the magsafe animation, who cares) at a reasonable price is my goal.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, no, im in EU.

Ordered a Benks ArmorPro for my 14 PM, it shipped this morning so hopefully not too long until delivery, but it is shipping from China so we'll see. Will update with my thoughts once it comes in.

Is this case not available on Amazon yet? I could not find it there.

It is, but I ordered before I noticed the Amazon link in tees description on his YouTube video. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7133XBS?tag=technically05-20&ref=myi_title_dp&th=1&geniuslink=true

Did the transparent tape trick on the inside of the buttons on my new Benks 600D case. Worked like a charm. Buttons no longer rattle and they are perfectly responsive. Using this case probably until the iPhone 15 Pro’s are out.

Mine took 26 days to arrive from china 🤦🏻‍♂️. Sat in customs for a whole week

 

[RustyBroadsword]

Mine wasn’t too bad. Ordered Jun 5 and delivered Jun 14.
