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.

The Rugged is similar in width to the Symmetry, though overall it’s slightly bulkier and heavier. It’s not nearly as bulky as the Defender though. I find it easier to grip than the Symmetry due to the concave sides. Its biggest downside is the symmetrical cutouts on the bottom, which don’t bother me in the least, but which some people don’t like.

How's the magasfe on the rugged better than the symmetry?

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.

The OtterBox Lumen Series is so nice!
Had it for my 11 Pro, now again for my 15 Pro (the grey one fits so perfectly for the natural titanium!)
