Happy with my Sheath.. looks great and I will absolutely use it. But... after using Pitaka cases for years, the sheath seems so "chunky"

Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and a keeper... I suppose it will take some time to get accustomed to it
 
At the suggestion of @illmatic41 and @blaine07 , I picked up an Aulumu A17 for my Air. It’s actually very nice, with super clean construction and a great fit. The finish around the edges is smoother than the Pitaka, and I really like the fully exposed sides. I’m concerned about fingerprints, and I’m not a big fan of the cyberpunk aesthetic, but the comfort and build quality make it easy to overlook these drawbacks. We’ll see how it goes over the next few days, but I think it’s a keeper. Thanks for the suggestion!

Looks great! Random— how does it compare weight wise to Pitaka or etc?
 
I am surprised the premium packaging wasn't a indicator of how that was going to go.

Dang LOL

lol seriously though. Just felt cheap to me. CC Button had sharp edges, the way the back looked made the phone look cheap. Overall unimpressed, used to be such a solid case. Oh well, back to my big boy defender.

Didn’t have a chance to snap some crappy iPad pictures of it, but I will tonight before I send it back to Amazon.

I would worry about that hard plastic interior shell of the Defender wearing down or scratching the soft finish of the phone. Have noticed and scratches or marks from this on your phone?
