The fit of my silver Arc Pulse on 17 pro is money! It’s definitely tighter than my 15 pro which is a good thing imo. That’s what she said 😂
Got a tip for us?

Does your bottom piece fit flush to the bottom of the phone with no air gap (on the bottom next to the speaker/mic, not the bottom sides)?

Third party case makers seem to be having all sorts of fit problems with the Air. Here’s what I’ve experienced so far:
Arc Pulse: bottom is too tight, doesn’t sit flush against the phone
Pitaka Ultra-Slim: Loose upper right corner, metal camera frame hits the glass plateau
Süti Phoneback: Top doesn’t lay flush against the phone, rattles
Andar Aspen: Bulge at camera control, USB cutout is off center
Only the Apple and Beats cases fit correctly. Frankly, I’m getting tired of these case lotteries and arguing with CS reps about their defective products (you’re not holding it right… lol). Perhaps I’ll just stick with the Apple cases this year and call it good.

Try to write to Arc support. They already sent me 2 replacements in past.
I'm very precious about case fitment, but bottom part of Arc Pulse fits OK for me.

It could be better like on AlterEgo version that I had for 16PM, there was the best fit.
There are still little space between phone and bottom part, but you need to take a very closer look at it.
As from my experiences it can be due to wrong size of soft silicon part inside it.
Any extra dust don't bother me, because I always had many dust around any Arc Pulse 😄.

The other related issue is that the bottom part starts creeping off the phone (just a little, it’s not falling off) after a couple of days. When this happened in the past it was due to the part being a little too loose. Now it seems it’s the opposite problem; I have to use considerable force to get it close to seating and that pressure seems to back the part off after a time.

Have you tried any of the Benks cases yet? My favorite case is my AliExpress 1500d aramid case that I got for $16($31 now). I put back on my 2nd favorite case, the Apple Shadow one, but realized i got used to the thinness and grip of the aramid.
Decided I'm going to return the Spigen Rugged Armor. It is much looser fitting than I'd like. Back to the Tech Woven for now.

I haven’t. I’ve had so many QC issues with their cases in years past that I will now only buy them from Amazon for the easy returns. I may pass this year as I’m already getting return fatigue. We’ll see.

Credit to Pitaka for allowing us to see our actual phone colors in the case. Would love to see the same from Andar, Bellroy and Ryan London where we are picking based on color match

I wanted to try the Benks one for the iPhone air but the silver camera surround with the branding put me off to be honest. I’m gonna stick with this Bellroy one for now. Might have a look at the Andar one once they have revised their case with a better cut out for the usb c port.

If you can find a Benks, they aren’t restocking any of their Air cases. Unfortunate because they are solid.

There were available direct a few weeks ago. I do fancy one for my iPad Pro tbh but at £70 it’s a bit pricey.

Have an apple silicone for my 17PM but it picks up every bit of lint from my pocket, I like it otherwise.
I'd like to get the Torras Q3 air but $65 for a case is getting pricey. I had won $10 at best buy on McD Monopoly and they had the silicone cases on sale.

can anyone recommend (or is using) the MOFT Movas Case? How is the quality of the case (wanna buy the white one) and is it easy to install / reinstall ?

My new EDC ….i returned all my Caudabe cases. I’m only down to 2 Ultra Slim Pitaka cases, Nomad traditional horween, a few Apple silis, and a PR Air. This Milky Way Pitaka hasn’t left my phone since my last post here.
Don’t see myself adding anything new until I get my hands on some PR cases.
