I had thought about ordering the Suti but the site says is 44g (pro) or 52g (pro max). Is it really that heavy? That seems off for just a back to weigh more than most cases.

I have the nano suede phoneback for my 16 PM, and I just weighed it at 38 grams. So, I guess it could be that heavy, but it feels like nothing on my PM. It would obviously make a bigger difference on the Air. I haven't ordered any cases yet for my Air. Edited to add that the heaviest part is probably the magnet in there!
 
I’m thinking im going to grab the bumper when i pick my phone up but i wont daily it. I keep going back and forth about screen protector is my main thing now.

That’s definitely better than 52, thanks.
I had the nomad leather back for my 15pro and it was 30 grams but I wasn’t crazy about the leather feel. I decided to order this one from target because I can easily take it the store and return it if I don’t like it.

The biggest downside compared to the Nomad back would be that it's 4mm thick per their website. Think the Nomad back comes in at 2mm thick. That keeps the phone slimmer than any of the other models, even with the back on.

I’ve been on the hunt for the thinnest, low profile case for my Air which is arriving tomorrow. I also purchased an Apple Bumper case I most likely will return. I also bought a Lonli leather case which has a crooked button and isn’t slim enough (no leather case probably will be). Lastly, I have a Grecazo here (not pictured), but concerned the titanium sides will get all scratched up.

I am surprised the JetTech(pictured in green) in person is thinner then the X-Level (pictured in Grey). Plus the JetTech has built in MagSafe. You can also see the X-Level has a higher camera bump and doesn’t provide complete protection.
