Had the Benks pro that I test drove for a week. Too slippery like a wet bar of soap, ended up returning.
Test driving the Spigen Enzo at the moment due to Amazon’s sale, and it’s very similar to the Benks pro (returned it). It slipped right out of my pocket when I went for a drive yesterday 🤦‍♂️. Hoping the PR grip is enough for me, as I need an aramid fix.

What's a good case to take to Bali for a few weeks, had a Lifeproof fre last time but won't use in water this time, just something to abuse a bit and more drop proof lol, not sure my FW will take it.
Was thinking black symmetry?

edit. got a black symmetry for near $20AUD off, should do.

benks isnt as good this year, phone rebel is amazng and the mous limitless has a fitment issue where it clicks if you squeeze it to tight
I tried the Benks pro and the Mous limitless both aramid fiber. Although Benks, Mous and Phone Rebel are aramid fiber IMO you can’t compare the Benks to the Mous and Phone Rebel because they are different protection classes per se with Mous and Phone Rebel being a lot more protective than the Benks.

The fitment issue with the Mous was only for the Max. According to some info Mous was aware and fixed the issue and sent the fixed cases to Amazon.

I've been looking for a lens-less camera protector to prevent dust build up, what is that one called? I found one from Mothca that has a matching blue titanium cover so wondering if yours is the same brand that'll fit my Mous

These are the ones I have on my phone now and they work perfect:

I usually use the Ringke but the fit was sloppy this year.

Also have the Mothca in black titanium and they look perfect but have not tried them yet.

Here is a pic of the black (left) 2 for $8.99 ones and the black titanium (right) Mothca side by side.

Looks like they just fit the camera area not the lens?

Well I picked up the $19.00 Otterbox Defender Black Friday deal from Walmart and I had forgotten how much I love the quality and feel of the defender.

The the case clip turns into a stand to allow landscape viewing. 😊

Ps. It’s not MagSafe compatible.

Yea I hate trying to clean in between the lenses! How does the protector adhere to the lens area?
Strong 3M tape on the back. Last year I used the Ringke ones, same 3M tape and I dropped my phone at Walmart (Symmetry case) and the protector flew off and landed sticky side down on there dirty floor. It was nearly impossible to get off the Walmart floor and ruined as it had tons of crap stuck on the back.

These will fly right off the phone if dropped but are pretty hard to get off the phone when you try to remove it.
