A lot of case manufacturers seem to be real hit or miss on the case fitting because of the new design.
Has anybody gotten the new Pitaka case yet? If so, how does the case fit on the new phones? Perfect or are there some alignment issues?
 
Looks like the lip is raised a bit on the latest gen. *Photo of phone w/out a screen protector.

How is the overall alignment? Perfect fit?
Did you go through Amazon or Pitaka direct?
Lastly, how is the material? Grippy to the point it will take out pocket lint?
Sorry for the multitude of questions, first time I'm contemplating a case outside of the Apple line.

Sorry to disappoint but I got that screenshot off of a recent YouTube video.
 
I got my Pitaka Air Case today. Perfect fit on my 12 Pro!

This is my 4th Pitaka case, 2nd Air Case. Perfect alignment and fit. I went through Pitaka direct. The material has a soft touch to it. Not super grippy, but just enough. It does not collect lint. Pitaka hit it right one with their description:

Textured Surface For Better Grip​

Our unique vacuum forming process creates a nonslip texture that improves grip while also feeling soft to the touch.


Sorry, no pics.

How is the Air for drop protection? Not crazy drops, but thinking getting knocked off night stand or smaller drops. I do not drop phone much, but it does happen and I want a little more than scratch protection in a slim case. I currently have a Apple Silicone case on and really considering returning it and buying the Air.

It’s okay for very small drops. Just be aware that the case will get nicked up even small drops on concrete or similar hard surfaces.

What about fingerprints?

I remember that in the past their cases were fingerprints magnets...
