Stick with GOAT Apple Silicone or the troll @Sal09 will have something to say.
Are we really re lighting this lol?
I have it but haven’t used it yet. I’ll use it to charge and let you know. I still have 40% battery life to run down though.
Received the Pitaka Ultra-Slim 600D today. This one fits perfectly, unlike my last one, which was loose on the top corner. Contrary to what the Pitaka rep told me, the metal camera surround still sits directly on the glass plateau as I suspected it would. It’s clearly designed this way. This is a beautiful case, and it feels incredible in the hand, but even the smallest impact on the metal surround is going to destroy the back of the phone. I’d suggest if you’re going with one of these, get AC+ and treat the phone as if it’s caseless (never a bad idea with this type of case anyway). Unfortunately, mine will be going back to Amazon.
i honestly think your worrying about it to much the glass on the air is more durable then in years past i don't see this as an issue. pitaka slim is one of the best cases for the air imo
I wouldn’t think it would be good for metal to sitting right in the glass.
The back is hard plastic and very slippery. The Apple Silicone and Sheath have inherent grip all around. While the Paragon has decent side grip, the back plate has none. In my opinion, it looks nicer than it handles.
It’s a nice case, but metal making direct contact with glass is a terrible design choice, there’s no getting around it. If it isn’t a problem, Pitaka should just admit that it was a design choice instead of gaslighting the customer.

Funny thing is that it pops off easier than the Sheath on the corners lol and the plateau isnt covered on the Nomad
It does have really nice bumpers for drops but it comes up along the perimeter of the case making it super unwieldy one handed
I don’t know about gaslighting the customer but I certainly wouldn’t worry about the metallic camera surround touching the glass. It’s not tungsten carbide; the metal is going to deform before it damages the glass. It might actually do a better job of protecting the phone from damage if it’s aluminum.
