Which Case Did You Buy For Your iPhone?

Is this the correct one? I noticed on Amazon there’s no Pitaka branding on the back but on their actual website it has Pitaka embedded

Yes that’s the correct listing on Amazon.

All those particular models they sell on there are the ones that have the side Pitaka branding which were all released early in the cycle vs the center bottom branding ones that they decided to roll out later in the current iPhone 17 cycle.

I personally prefer the side branding which is a cleaner look imo. They still sell those models on the direct website as well.

I hope they don’t go back to the bottom center branding completely again for the 18 series.

Gotcha yea I prefer the cleaner look as well. Should be ok QC wise though? Hopefully nothing was improved on the newer ones. Amazons great with returns so should be fine regardless I’ll just return it if something is bad

They haven’t changed. One thing to be aware of—the black/gray 600D model is much more of a fingerprint magnet than the colored/patterned 1500D models.

Nah, there's no way Apple would let that happen.

There'd be the slightest change so that everyone who has Apple cases/accessories has to buy new

Agreed, with the addition of the variable aperture main camera, it looks like the plateau and lenses are going to be thicker. Dummy-unit measurements put the 18 Pro Max at 13.77mm total including cameras versus 12.92mm on the 17 Pro Max.

Manufacturers probably started including higher camera protection in their 17 Pro/Max cases. If I’m not mistaken, Otterbox did the same with their iPhone 13 and 14 cases.

View attachment 2648917Does anybody have this Pitaka case this is the Cairn case right thoughts on it? $29.99 on Amazon seems like a steal. 34 grams is decently light but idk if those bumpers would bother me.

Have it, it’s going back. Overall is a nice case, thin, protective. My issue is the part that covers the camera control is super thin and loses a little of its structure so it’s loose around the phone either there. The case covers the aluminum all the way way around except right there it loses form a little and exposes it. My ADD can’t handle that.

I hear you I can’t stand a bad fitting case. Even their $80 Summa case has the same issue. I tried it twice and both times same thing, loose around the CC and exposed aluminum. Unacceptable for such a high priced case.

I love the concept of the ArmorEdge Air but not a fan of the design they decided to put on it.

Just make it plain black 1500D to add the bumpy texture without the coin. I don’t even mind the Benks branding on the top corner but preferably not in gold, maybe like a gray instead.

And with a proper fit because in my experience Benks fit on their full coverage case is usually poor, then I’d be intrigued.
