You have been corrected sir. This is why a lot of 17 pro max screen protectors cut off viewable screen but not the 17 pros. The accessory makers cheaped out and based it of the 17 pro’s bezels.

I sure have been corrected. I’m using a Pro Max anyway and also don’t have to worry about the glass screen protector issue you mentioned since I don’t use one.

After a couple of days in the Pitaka Edge, I’m back in the Beats Rugged today. Something I knew, but was too nonchalant about, cost me a screen protector and a narrow miss. These thin Pitakas really have to always be laid down with the screen face up—there is zero lip. When you lay it face down, two things are likely to happen. One, you’re going to scratch your screen or screen protector in short order (it took a day); and two, at some point your phone is going to slide off of whatever surface you’ve set it on. Both happened to me yesterday.

The sliding thing will catch you off guard. If you set it face down on a smooth surface, the phone essentially floats on the surface, and when you’re not looking, it will inch its way downhill on whatever tiny slope there is until it drops off the edge. This happened on an ottoman this time—earlier this year it was on a dining room table. Fortunately there was no visible damage, but I’m feeling like the risk is too high running an ultra thin with this phone.

That’s too bad. Returning the Pitaka?

Kinda odd to pop out but I think I like how it feels with my fingers “around” vs my normal PopSocket.

I tried one of these and wasn’t a fan of it.

The matte black popsocket piece scratches so easily. It is awkward to pop it out and when the popsocket is popped out it feels like it’s made for thin fingers. It just felt really tight and uncomfortable to me.

The OhSnap Grip Stand imo is better when comparing ultra slim grip stands.

I don't want to come across as contrarian but I have big fingers and find the Low Pro much more comfortable than my other grips. Haven't tried the OhSnap, the fixed orientation being why.


Easy to open either by pushing and sliding in from the edge, or lift with a finger nail.

Can't comment on how easy it scratches as mine hasn't a mark on it yet but that doesn't mean it won't at some point.


I do wish the stand was black though.

Sorry to read about this. I’m glad there wasn’t damage to the phone itself 👍

My girlfriend loves her PS, but I can't stand them. It always feels like something is in the way of the phone when I hold it, and the constant taking off/putting on to charge my phone wirelessly would be irritating. "First World Problem," I know.

Love the look of the case, but I can't stand putting my phone face down anywhere. I'd rather just get a case with a bumper around the camera cutout and lay it on its back.

What do you guys (and Ava*) think are the best metallic buttons?

I only got the Sheath and the TW and think the buttons of the Sheath are better. Any other contenders?
