With a smart home, you could really take advantage of those buttons. Imagine a movie mode button that closes the curtains, turns on your telly and dims the lights.
Yes. Ive been waiting for something like this. A protective case that covers the full outside of the phone from pitaka. And it has programmable buttons. Now if they could only drop the price down quite a bit.
Well at first, i respect you for answering every coment. I ordered the Case, i currently use the Magbak Case. I love it but its a bit to bulky and heavy. I hope that the pitaka is as perfekt as i hope. But you do a review of a thin case a test with a screen protector would be nice. Much love from germany.
I just got mine and noticed two things. The aramid fibre on the camera cut outs has some defects. Like small bubbles. Also, the lock and volume buttons, rattle! They are not firm and you can feel them moving up and down and when I shake my phone with the case, I can hear the rattle/shaking sound from the buttons being wobbly. I'll be asking for replacement.
Michael yo. I did not know you had a channel and do Samsung case reviews. Stumbled on this video and that case looks great. I rock a S23U currently but been getting into the magsafe lifestyle, so if i go to the S25U in the on the next upgrade I'll be ready for full mag-life lol
The NFC buttons are an amazing feature. Just wished it was a bit thicker so there was no camera bump. I have been looking everywhere for a slimmer case for my S24 ultra that has a flat back (No camera bump) and has amazing magnet strength but this one is still not for me. I don't like having my phone wobling when its flat on the table. Not to mention that 70$ is extremely expensive for a case. It looks amazing and awesome quality but very very expensive for a phone case.
When you were holding your phone to record it, it was slightly tilted, maybe it would be better if you lay on flat? Just a suggestions. cool concept of this case tho! Thank you
I'm liking the new case and the NFC tags. It does look the part whilst giving good all-around protection. I can see another case in the offing. Great review, as always. Thanks also for recalling my comment in the Pitaka conventional case review and linking to this latest one. Sets you apart from others. 🫶🏻
Thank you for the review! Have you tried to fit the case with the camera lens protector installed on the phone? You mentioned in the video that it should fit, but it seems that there isn't enough room between the camera and the case.
Hey Mike you're great question last bought my pin button case, I setup one and two but got to the third button, when I click on nfc tagged, said couldn't write on this nfc tagged, try again, I did multiple times and and don't work I ask another you tubers they have no clue zI contacted pitaka ,and they have not answer yet any advice from you?
The quality of the Pitaka is better and the magnet alignment is much better for charging. The phone doesm't get as warm as it does with the Benks case.
@@MichaelsTechTalk Lol in case you didn't get the joke, the audio balance is off, making the left channel overpower the right. It might be hard to notice if you're listening on speakers but it's very noticeable with earbuds/headphones. I have a stereo to mono script on my browser and it "fixed" the audio balance, but was just mentioning this in case you wanted to check your export / audio settings or if you have, maybe TH-cam processed it weirdly. Either way just mentioning it!
@@MichaelsTechTalk I just skimmed through your videos because I was curious, and the audio is balanced fine on all of your videos up until ~5 months ago. The last video you posted that had balanced audio was this video: "Is This The iPhone of EVs? | Tesla Model 3 Performance Full Review", and starting with the video: "New 3 in 1 Charger from Nomad: Stand One Max" is when it started happening.
@@salmonskinlover2365 no i get it, i did have some issues with my DJi mic when i switched from the Rode where it was only going through the left channel but it has since been rectified. The audio on my end is working on both right and left. Out of curiousity what are you using when your listening to it?
@@MichaelsTechTalk DT-880 250ohm powered by an external amp, but I hear the same thing when listening with galaxy buds on my phone, positionally it feels like the audio is coming from 70% to the left, 50% being the midway point between left and right. It's not like it's only coming from the left channel and not the right if that's what you thought I was saying.
Sadly you guess incorrect. The Apple Watch Ultra is LTE so i don't need to use my iPhone daily to use the watch. I dual wield iPhone and Android so i don't have a 'main device'
No it isn't, it's a Samsung problem. When Samsung adopt Qi2 they will be putting magnets into the phone itself so they will need to fix the pen from interferring with magnets.
Fucking hell, there is literally zero credibility with these paid "reviews". There are far better cases that cost fraction of what these do, just because they dont pay people to hype them.
News flash genius... i wasn't paid for this review, otherwise it would've said paid collaboration. Also, i have to disclose that Pitaka sent the case to me as per TH-cam's terms of service. Time for you to learn the difference between a product review and a paid collaboration..
1- I wouldn't be putting mediocre product next to a Galaxy, get rid of that overpriced watch. OnePlus 2 is vastly superior, for 1/3 of the price. 2- Spotify is infinitely vastly better and superior than apple music. 3-
1. No harm to you, but i'm a tech person so i use all forms of tech. All of which is bought and paid for from my own pocket. 2. Apple Music has the bigger music library compared to Spotify. 3. Did you run out of things to say?

For sure!
The possibilites are endless!
Yes. Ive been waiting for something like this. A protective case that covers the full outside of the phone from pitaka. And it has programmable buttons. Now if they could only drop the price down quite a bit.
And put the moonrise pattern on the back.
THIS is the case we wanted! Excellent video and appreciate the tag to let me know! I am buying this case for sure.
Glad it was helpful!
It is by far, the best phone case i have ever purchased ❤
Glad you like it!
ordered and used your link - thanks a lot fella. S24 Ultra on its way!
Hope you enjoy it!
Finally a case that kind of brings back the awesome blackberry key2 "convenience key" feature. Very nice.
Good review as always. Thank you 👍
Thanks for watching!
Well at first, i respect you for answering every coment.
I ordered the Case, i currently use the Magbak Case.
I love it but its a bit to bulky and heavy.
I hope that the pitaka is as perfekt as i hope.
But you do a review of a thin case a test with a screen protector would be nice.
Much love from germany.
I appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching!
You're LEGEND for Pen Test! Thank you so much!
All part of the service! 😎
I can't wait to get mine! It's been ordered and it's waiting to be shipped!
Nice!!!!!
Awesome, these buttons save me so much time! They should have released such an excellent product sooner!
Agreed!

That’s not good, def get in touch with Pitaka for a replacement. Their support is good.

Nice!!!!
I heard the extra buttons don't work if the phone is locked.
That's correct, they are NFC buttons.
Love it, those nfc buttons are cool
They really are! I dig them
Looks so great! I will place an order now!
Hope you enjoy!
Can the edge panel be assigned to one of the buttons?
Surely that would be less easily to access other than just swiping it?
Can't wait for my case to get home 😂
Nice!!!
Awesome review! Just order one from Pitaka.
Hope you enjoy it!
This is a game changer.

It may be expensive, but it offers more than most cases.
Great case nice review as always 😎
Thanks for watching as always Mary!
How would you compare this case to the Enzo Aramid by Spigen?
And how would you rate its protection to fall/impact?
BTW, what are you using for wireless charging?
The Enzo case is let down by it's lack of magsafe.
what about the other half of the question, the fall/drop protection...? @@MichaelsTechTalk
@@balhazer They're both similiar, they have TPU shock absorbing bumpers.
When you were holding your phone to record it, it was slightly tilted, maybe it would be better if you lay on flat? Just a suggestions. cool concept of this case tho!
Thank you
Understood. I was struggling to read the display. In hindsight i should have just done a screen recording.
What if your phone is locked? Will it still go directly to the app or biometrics first?
No the NFC buttons won't work when the phone is locked. That would be a massive security issue lol
Awesome. Ill be ordering now. I might like this better than the benks pro. Is it for the 24plus model as well. Hopefully it comes to amazozn soon.
Nice!
they only have the pin button case for S24 ultra for now.
audio is good in this video!
Told you i'd get it fixed 😂

No problem, thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated. 😊
Will this affect nfc payments?
No it doesn't. I've used Google Pay with no issues.
Thank you for the review! Have you tried to fit the case with the camera lens protector installed on the phone? You mentioned in the video that it should fit, but it seems that there isn't enough room between the camera and the case.
Thanks for watching, i don't use camera lens protectors but i did try one on this case and they fit just fine.
Which lens protectors did you try? Spigen? Flolab?
@@xI-Chas3r-Ix Spigen works, needs a bit of a gentle push and then sits right.
Does the cut out have enough space for a lens protector tho?
The answer is shown at 3:02..
@@MichaelsTechTalk thanks mate, I'm sorry that I didn't noticed it earlier.
@@MichaelsTechTalk oh and btw, is the case really fit? It looks like the phone will pop out if ever it falls.

Hi, i would have no idea what the issue could be. You could have a faulty button, you need to speak to pitaka about it for sure.
@MichaelsTechTalk thank you mike,I did talk to pitaka ceo, I sent them a video with my problem, they going to send me a replacement. Thank you
Just pre-ordered one
Nice!!!
I love that wallpaper! Where did you get it?

@@MichaelsTechTalkthanks
Can you set the button to take screenshot?
You can indeed!
How do you compare agianst the Benks Pro case?
Especially the new Montage Armor Pro. That one looks great! Appears to have better screen protection as well.
I have it in for review, watch this space 👀
The quality of the Pitaka is better and the magnet alignment is much better for charging. The phone doesm't get as warm as it does with the Benks case.
Hope they do this for the S23 Ultra, but unlikely
It's a new design so it's unlikely they'll make it for older phones.
It's it a fingerprint magnetic?
Yeah it does pick up fingerprints, sadly all aramid cases do. But a wipe with a microfiber cloth soon sorts it.
My left ear really enjoyed this video
You should try using the right ear too.. 😂

I've noticed you have an ultra watch, so i'm guessing your main device is the iphone
Sadly you guess incorrect.
The Apple Watch Ultra is LTE so i don't need to use my iPhone daily to use the watch. I dual wield iPhone and Android so i don't have a 'main device'
The S Pen interference is a Pitaka problem, not a Samsung problem.
No it isn't, it's a Samsung problem. When Samsung adopt Qi2 they will be putting magnets into the phone itself so they will need to fix the pen from interferring with magnets.
2 month warranty on it though. :(
It is what it is.
@@MichaelsTechTalk Do you find it slippery. I'm very intrigued by this case.
Black is boring. If we can only get a different color, we’re golden
It’s tough when you have the Moonrise case and it looks soooooo good!
