Could we see some pics? I plan to grab either the Limitless 5 speckled or a CASETiFY impact or bounce…
Casetify isnt worth the money.. I had bottom sag out the box last year which imo is unacceptable for the prices they charge. Tons of reviews online complain about the rubber edge separating after few months of use..it seems like a common issue across all their cases as it’s the same backplate designs fused with different type of border protection. unless you really want a certain design or collab I would pass on their iPhone cases.

My temporary case - Torras Slim Fit in navy on a BlueTi. Only keeping this until my Bullstrap arrives.

Oh wow, I had completely written off pitaka solely based off price point, but after looking at more pictures of that Starpeak MagEZ 4, I'm very tempted.

I stumbled upon this case company from Japan, CASEFINITE which offers a very thin/minimal frosted case with MagSafe. I ordered the Frost Air Ultra in Smoke Black to match my Black Titanium 15 Pro ($41.00 + $15 shipping to USA)

Here is the website and Youtube video reviewing and covering the case in-depth.

Looking at the case in proper daylight and noticed these raised horizontal streaks or stretch marks on the Pitaka MagEZ 4. Do you guys think this is normal or a defect?

I keep going back to the Spigen Liquid Air as my favorite, even with it not having MagSafe.

1. Spigen Liquid Air - nicest to hold. Perfect compromises on grip.

2. Nomad Modern Leather - nice but bulkier than it needs to be. The bottom also adds a lot of unnecessary depth to the device and after a single weekend, has collected so much lint.

3. Apple Silicone - fine, sharp USB C cutout

4. Caudabe Sheath - well made

5. FineWoven - very slippery

Why did you say you prefer the OB Symmetry over the Sheath again?

I'm liking the Mous Limitless, love the Benks (unsure about drop protection on it though), but both of them are fingerprint magnets!

Considering the Sheath and Symmetry in hopes they don't show fingerprints.
Still on 14 pro but it's a hard call between the sheath and mous, if the mous carbon didn't get smudges which do wipe off easily, and magsafe was a bit stronger not that I have had a issue on my car magsafe holder, I still like the mous better, feels great to hold, excellent buttons better than sheaths.
Def be better protection.

How do you wipe the smudges off the Mous?

You have the aramid fiber one? Or do they call it carbon fiber?

That’s 100% a defect. Never seen a Pitaka case with that issue before. The company had excellent customer service, reach out to them and they’ll expedite a replacement for you.

4. Caudabe Sheath - well made, but not a fan of the coarse texture anymore.

5. FineWoven - very slippery
The Spigen Liquid Air really is a cheap underrated case. It’s on the top of my list too after trying a few cases, and is 1/3 the price.

I agree with you, too much going on for my liking. That design is 🤮 in my opinion.
Yeah I went to the site full prepared to order it once I got the email, but I took a closer look and decided to pass. I am impressed with my restraint.

Between the Pitaka(s), Apple silicone, and the Nomad Rugged for when I need more protection, I am fairly satisfied with my case lineup.

I have to say, one nice thing about going from the 14PM to the 15P is I find that I don't need cases to be as grippy because of the smaller phone size. It's opened up a whole new world lol.
