Nice! I hope we have other Air Case takers here as well. Iāll let you know Friday if it lived up to the hype. I guess Iām the one who hyped up the case š¤£
I started using the MagCase on my X. Itās my all-time favorite case by far!
FYI, according to Pitaka, the MagCase = 0.85mm and the Air Case = 0.60mm. It might not seem like a big difference on paper, but itās probably noticeable in the hand. Weāre talking a 30% reduction is thickness!
Do/will they make the Air cases for the Xs Max? Shame that we are (appear to be) shut out on this new case.
Agreed. I have the MagCase for my Xs Max... just curious about the thinness of the Air...
Got shipment notification Sunday, had expected delivery date of today. But package hasnāt left Dubai.
Update:
Finally some movement, Just left Dubai delivery date delayed to Monday 10/21

I donāt know, but my tracking status just updated to this:
In-Transit:
Departed USPS Regional Destination Facility
Your item departed our PHILADELPHIA PA NETWORK DISTRIBUTION CENTER destination facility on October 16, 2019 at 7:19 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination.
I think the next destination is my local PO, so good chance delivery is tomorrow even though expected delivery is still showing Friday š

Not bad. Itās the same or similar Aramid material that Pitaka uses. I prefer the openings of the Pitaka MagCase and Air Cases. It gives it a revealing look and feel.
What do you mean by no finger marks? All Aramid material usually shows some finger marks, which doesnāt bother me.

Carbon That case looks good, I like that it also sits under the screen so when I scroll off to the edge I donāt feel anything. Only thing that bothers me is no camera protection other wise something I would consider.
Congrats on the Air Case but teasing us with a picture of the box is Evil of you š

I just took it out of the box. First impression is how light this case is! I did put a magnet plate on it so itās a little bit heavier but still barely noticeable and the cutouts are perfect. I was using apple leather case since launch and the change is nice! Hopefully youāll all get yours in the next couple days.
Not seeing any yet, also states it on their website. I like the top and bottom covered.
Also Pitaka air is $89 here, this was $69, and a Australian business with 2 day shipping from Sydney FWIW.

You can do better than that! We're expecting lots of pictures and a mini review by the end of the evening š¤£
Awesome! If you had the MagCase, how does it compare to the Air Case?
Yasss, mine arrived at the local PO this morning and will be delivered today!
