Great review, thanks. Benks are certainly a better value, but in my experience the equivalent Pitaka cases are lighter and also have more consistent quality control.
Oof haha you want me to spend $180 on a phone case? I'll say maybe 😂

I have both cases - Benks GoldenTide and Pitaka Tactile Woven Sunset. Pitaka is always few steps behind Benks. Benks is nice case, but finish is not that great like on Pitaka and is too heavy for me. Sunset has only 21 grams! But Benks is 27 grams. That is huge difference for me. I also don't like top and bottom on Benks, because for sliding up for unlock or change app I always touch sharp edge of this case. Pitaka has nice cutout on bottom and slightly lowered profile on the top. I have also problems with inserting phone to Benks GoldenTide it's so tight and sometimes there is weird sound when inserting. I mentioned, that there is little gap with Benks on bottome left of case. Pitaka is much easier to put on and sticks perfectly without any gaps. Overall it's nice cases. Someone don't like Pitaka branding, I prefere Pitaka more because of weight and finish.
Awesome summary of the different minimal cases from Benks this year, great review Brian! Between these and the minimal options from Pitaka (Ultra Slim and Tactile Woven), which do you prefer? How do they compare in terms of fit/finish, magsafe strength, etc?
I really like Benks Armor Air more than Pitaka's Ultra Slim and Tactile Woven. I like the closed top and bottom and believe the MagSafe strength is better. Plus better quality control.
I’m using the Benks Armor Air case for the iPhone 15 Pro in the color Golden Tide. I can highly recommend both the case and the color. It looks beautiful and has a very precise fit. The only issue I have is removing the case from the phone, as it’s quite tight, which sometimes presents a challenge for me since I like to switch cases frequently. I remove it as recommended (starting from the top part), then I try to pull it off, but it bends a bit, making me worried it might break. But then I reassure myself since it’s made of Kevlar, so nothing should happen. Do you have any tips on how to make it easier to remove? And by the way… you’re doing a great job. I really enjoy watching your videos! Many greetings from Germany 😊
Nope not really any tips. Just be gentle removing it. You can try to sand the edge down a little bit, but that may make the case look a little worse. And thanks so much!
Make sure you guys follow the rules or the giveaway if you want to win. I need to know your IG handle in your comment so I know who is who.
I’m so glad they made the armortint for the 15 pro max. I got one and absolutely love it. MagSafe is suprisingly strong
The montage has always been my favorite, I’ve bought banks since the iPhone 13

Great cases. Their MagSafe batttery packs also brilliant? 🎉😊
I just got the armor pro for my 16 pro. Loving it so far!
how about The RIMOWA iPhone 16 Pro Max MagSafe-compatible Cases, as a review idea

The armor tint feels the best out of all of them
I have ArmorAir PassionGreen on my 16 Pro. Very satisfied!

Hi I’m subscribed and liked the video and a lot of your other videos but I don’t have instagram. I have the 16 pro max!
Thanks for your videos, B. Very informative my guy
💪🏼💪🏼 I appreciate you
These PITAKA cases are awesome!!
They’re actually a good bit better than Pitaka’s 😂😂 I have them all.
@@Brians_tech it's personal choice as I write in full comment. Pitaka is definitely better for me.
How is the screen bump
There isn’t one on this case. It’s meant to be a super minimal case.
It’s crazy and wild your phone survived in a Benks case
