I like my Pitaka Pro a lot and agree with all of the above. My only minor niggle is the area above the USB port which is a little flimsy and if you look from below the port you can see light sneaking under the lip. There really shouldn’t be an air gap there. Not a deal breaker but a little disappointing for a $70 case.
I believe they went back to the drawing board and are adding some kind of backing to the buttons.
I remember you mentioned that earlier in this thread. I just looked at mine and I don't see any light sneaking through. I tried shining the flashlight from my work phone through and didn't notice any light leaking. It is possible that my screen protector bridged that "gap" though (I have the flolab). I do agree that the top part above the USB-C port could be firmer although there is no sag.
It could be the screen protector or just normal variance in production runs, it’s hard to say. This is my second one, the first one was the same. Not a big deal but it would be nice if the area was reinforced with a bit of extra material ala Caudabe.
Do you and AnthroMatt notice a big difference between the bulk of the Caudabe and the Pitaka Pro case? This 15 Sheath is quite a bit more robust than the version on my 12PM and I'm becoming accustomed to it but wouldn't mind something more svelte as an alternative. The bevels on the edges of the Pikata along with the thinner material make it appear to have less depth from the side. Do you notice a big difference when you switch them out? How about the texture? More than a few have complained about the roughness of the surface on the Sheath.
All of this stuff is so subjective, but yes, to me the Pitaka feels slightly slimmer and lighter (it is actually a little lighter). More so than the difference in size though, I notice the difference in texture. The Pitaka is smooth and the surface feels almost soft to the touch. Because of that it’s more comfortable, but less grippy, than the Sheath. It’s really nice for around the house or office, but the Sheath might be preferable for things like hiking or biking where you’re outside taking lots of photos and need better grip. Again, this is all very subjective, so please take it with a good dose of salt.
Well said. I agree with this and really can’t add anything else 🤣
I got the Modern (non-Horween) versions in this week from Verizon. They're still OOS for the 15PM on Nomad's site - hence, Verizon - or the sale would have stung a bit. Did pick up a Rustic Brown Horween I'd been also considering, though - so thanks (?)* for the heads-up on the sale.
Tell your wallet I said love you too…
FWIW my friend ordered the Nomad Horween and Bullstrap for his 15Pro, sent back the nomad, uses the Bullstrap every day.
I know the buttons and camera rings are nice but man they need to change things to get them on launch.
It kind of reminds me of the iPhone 3G. 🤔Wow these ones looks cool, I suppose that the silver one will be a nice match for natural titanium.
I really like that and I think it would look good even on the Blue Titanium version. I just wish you could get it on Amazon. I’m reluctant to get it directly from Pitaka.
