Nice. I had a benks armor pro last year, but grew tired of it so didn’t pick it up this year. I’m torn between getting the sheath again, getting the speck presidio 2, or not getting either and just sticking with Apple silicone. It isn’t as noticeable this year in terms of picking up lint/dust, but I just started using it yesterday, so we’ll see how it ages, but so far it is pretty nice.
Got a tip for us?

Been using both the Benks ArmorPro and the Mous Limitless 5.0 these past few days. Like them both, Mous feels more protective but the corners are much sharper and feels a bit more cumbersome to hold. Shows fingerprints a little bit more too. The buttons are decent, kinda cheap plasticy feel though. The Benks feels so good in the hand and not as bulky. The fingerprints haven't been as noticeable for me. The buttons are pretty good, but the action button is slightly more inward compared to the volume and power button, would be nice if it was as far out as the others. Will use them both again for the next few days, but am leaning Benks for the comfort for now, but maybe will decide the Mous if I want to have more protection.
I’m in the same bucket. Using the clay currently with my 15 PM but trying to keep it away from my pants pockets 😂… at least until it breaks in a little bit. I wish the FineWoven wasn’t such a dumpster fire because the fit is amazing.

Does your camera seem pretty protected in the Benks?
Doesn’t seem like the Mous protects the camera all that well (3 sides).
Edit: so maybe the 15 Pro Max has 4 edges raised for camera protection, but the 15 Pro one only has 3?

Looks great. Would you mind sharing a couple more photos? I’ve got my eye on the Rhapsody version
Ahh my bad. I misread and thought you meant the cutouts of the case were sharp, not the buttons!
I see a little bubble now I zoomed in. Case still looks good though barring the defect.
Remember cost does not equal quality, £150k Porsches still breakdown, as do £15k Fords!
You missed the other part where the buttons stick out much further than any other case I’ve owned. Again, I’m not comfortable making those trade offs at this price point.
I have a 15 pro too so yeah only the 3 sides of the Mous are raised. I am not as concerned about the Mous only being 3 since I think if it falls and then it would be pretty trick to get that side since it isn't along the edge, but it seemed raised enough to not scratch the lenses when I place the phone down. The Benks camera edge is just slightly above the level of the camera lens, but it is all 4 sides and a nice metal outline. Overall the Benks edges are just slightly raised as a whole, even the front is just a little bit more raised then the screen with a protector on it.
What is the thickness of Apple leather and silicone cases? I generally prefer cases that are 1mm or less. I have my eye on a few cases that are greater than 1mm and want to compare the thickness difference. I had Apple silicone and leather cases in the past. TIA!
I’ll get some, sorry for the delay. It fits perfectly, feels really good and soft in my hand.
Pitaka magez is going back. It’s a bit loose top to bottom where the 15 PM can slide up and down. That’s a shame.
I thought it was me until I saw this post and read the Amazon reviews on this years Spigen GlasTR 15 pro max - they utterly SUCK! They’re impossible to install without getting bubbles no matter how hard you try, and I tried FOUR times!
I’ve used Spigen for the last five years and have never had an issue, but they dropped the ball with the 15 Pro Max screen this year.
No problem with mine. Had a couple of bubbles but they were easy to get out using the new squeegee they provided in the kit.
Me too. Literally took 30 seconds to apply. 1 small bubble pushed out with squeegee. Perfect install
There are no Apple official leather cases for the iPhone 15 series phones. They’ve replaced them with a different material called Fine Woven which the majority consensus is that they’re not good or worth the price Apple charges for them.
This is good to know. I'm really consider them for my 15 PM. I like the stargazer case they have

Right. To clarify, what is the thickness of Apple leather and silicone cases for 11 Pro to 14 Pro models?
Any success on the clear slim case? I went spigen magsafe version but found it to feel bulky…. Rocking Evergreen Apple case and wallet for now. Really love the feel of the fine weave btw, which I was not expecting after all the negativity from tubers.
