Benks Montage Pro is “the one” for me this cycle. Love everything about it.
Tried the leather cases, the aramid cases but settled on the Benks lucid armor. Something about it I keep coming back.
$20 from Amazon. Highly recommend, fave case so far. Thin and very strong magnet. Feels great in the hand. It’s a keeper for me.
Out of curiosity I tried out a Benks Pro over the weekend. It’s a nice case with a precise fit that rivals the Pitaka Pro. One big plus is that it’s much less prone to fingerprints than the Pitaka. Downsides are that it’s very slippery and the metal camera ring is sharp enough to possibly scratch some surfaces. The deal killer though are the buttons which, while looking nice and being plenty tactile, rattle like crazy. Because of this it’ll be going back to Amazon.
I wonder if there's a chance you have a faulty one there - this has ended up being my number 1 case this year by a long way, and my buttons rattle when the case isn't on the phone, but once on the phone they don't rattle at all. Just thought I'd mention it.
I have been using this Benks Pro case on my iPhone 15 Pro for a few months now. I think the metal camera ring is really sharp looking and really helps to integrate the otherwise bulky-looking three camera layout. I can see where you would be concerned about scratching, although I have not seen that yet. I wish that their branding, although small, was placed somewhere less conspicuous. Two other things: The slippery feel has completely gone away after three months...and the buttons on my case don't rattle at all. I would not have tolerated that either. I wonder if they have a quality control issue.
It is probably defective. The power button is fine but the volume buttons wobble and rattle quite noticeably when on the phone. I guess at this late date I’m not really interested in playing the button lottery so probably won’t be asking for a replacement. Thanks.
Thanks for the the info. If I received a clean copy I’d definitely keep it.

Otterbox Cactus Case on Amazon US
Just a bit. And it still has slit buttons and floppy sides.I want one of these but $150. is a bit steep
I tried this cactus case and returned it. There's a gap in the bottom of the case with light leak near the USB C connector. Such an oversight.
Yes, I would love one of those for $50. 😂I want one of these but $150. is a bit steep
For me it has been the trust old symmetry, simple case, comfortable to hold and protective. Tried out countless cases and its the only one I kept coming back to.
