Pitaka is here. I'm impressed! Perfect fitment (WOW) and parts, where I had problems before - around CC button and USB-C is now perfectly smooth and comfortable. And there is display lip! So I can comfortably put phone with display down.
Only downside is weight - 23g - it's 4g heavier than Sunset version. I hope I can used to it.

It will be great, if they implement this new updates also for older series.
I have this one also. It’s thicker than their other aramid cases like you said. It also feels like the Benks weave design cases for the air because it’s thicker and less matte. The Benks however lack any lip, have squared off edges and fold better around the screen so you get no sharp edges. The only bad part is the sharp af camera lens frame on the Benks.

Interesting. You are right with Benks weave desing - it's definitely less slippery than sunset version, so much better to hold. I didn't noticed any sharp edges with Lucid Blue, it's almost perfect.
I tried Benks cases for 14PM and 16PM and always had problem with fitment and quality. I also don't like it's slices for better inserting.
 
What is wrong with it? I always want to try it, but it hard to get it here from USA.

BTW. New Pitaka arrived 😄

Funny Benks just came out with a horse themed case as well. These two companies are always chasing one another lol

Here are a couple of old school Apple Leather cases. Those were my favorite cases of all time.

From an aesthetic and handling standpoint, that was my favorite era of iPhones. I think the closest you can get today is an Air with a relatively thin leather case like an Andar.

They highly likely will be fake. If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is.

Ask the seller for a picture of the barcode on the back of the box
I bought one on Poshmark, brand new $30. Seems legit. Wouldn’t the tell me the color theme matching the case? Don’t think anyone has cracked that code…yet
