I’ve had the armor air case for both the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max and been loving it but this seems to take it to a whole other level. I love a grippy case especially one that’s lightweight. I’ve typically had to add dragon grips to my case for extra grip, but hopefully with this new weave design, I won’t have to. I hope they release more colors. Maybe like a racing Formula One design. I just placed my order. Thank you for doing such a great review.
You’re absolutely right, it’s nice to have a colored weave that isn’t pitaka that actually covers the top of the phone. Thanks again for the reply. Keep up the great work.
Uggghhhh…I already have the “normal” Benks air, the Memumi thin case, and two or three Pitaka thin cases for my 15P. I shouldn’t even be considering this but yet here I am on the Benks website lol
I'd love to own a phone case that have those lovely grippy texture to enhance my grip while using my phone. Even when holding the phone lightly my grip will still be firm or strong. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾
I think the logic is people opting for the cheaper iPhone will also opt for a more budget no name case. That’s why a lot of the more premium brands only sell for the pro. Just assuming.
I’m now to the point where I dont wanna case on my phone since biting the bullet and getting applecare+. But I would like to prevent scratches on my blue titanium. Also I noticed the phone gets warm and thats annoying when having no case. How much bulk does it add?
Not much at all. It’s a very thin case. If you don’t want to use a case, definitely get apple care. Honestly, I always get it even though I use a case. Better safe than sorry. I don’t really notice my phone getting warm without a case, but I don’t keep it caseless for long.
I’ve had this case for about 2 weeks and discovered a defect on the iPhone 15 pro max version. I noticed that the phone wobbles inside the case when you pick it up fast. A simple shake test and you will hear and feel the phone moving side to side inside the case. I’m curious if I got a bad batch or if they all have this problem. I’ve bought 2 of them already. One from Benks directly and one from Amazon. The regular armor air doesn’t have this problem. Im curious to see if your case has this issue.
@@Brians_tech Thank you so much for your response. I contacted benks and they’re sending me a new one. Hopefully this one doesn’t have the same issue since the one I ordered on Amazon did have it as well. Other than this, I love the case, another upside to the new weave design is that it hides fingerprints a lot better.
@@Brians_tech Super disappointed that after waiting 2 weeks for my warranty replacement, (because it came from China) the new case has the same exact issue. When you pick up the case if you can feel the phone move side to side. The fit is terrible. This is the third case I’ve tried that has this issue. You can only test it with the phone in the case by a simple shake test.
@@Brians_techSo I decided to order the Pitaka magez 5 in Moonrise to see what all the hype is about and I went back to my Benks Aurora Air. They’re very similar but the Pitaka is not as strong as the Benks. I guess it can be a such a thing as too thin because it does flex easy. It also doesn’t have a tight fit on the corners, especially the corner where the camera is, no bueno. The fiber gelt nice and grippy but for $70+ tax it feels really cheap. I think it could be because the top and bottom is open, which causes the loose fit idk. Anyway, the Armor Air doesn’t flex really, has a tighter fit, quality material, actually has a slight lip more than the Pitaka (but thats not saying a whole lot) and best of all, its a better value. Thinking of getting the Montage next.
Best case from Benks right now like straight up! Its my favorite. Great review as always B
💪🏼💪🏼
If they did an armor pro with this same textured weave…🥵. I have this case on the way. I never drop my phone lol. So I should be good 😅
Yeah you’ll be fine. It’s a nice case. Pretty good grip for a minimal case too
Love the design of the case just wish the sides were covered

That’s awesome, thank you! I hope you used that discount code to save some money!
What do you think about the color of the weave? I’m not too big of a fan of that green. I know it could look different depending on the lighting.
@thelaw3058 I don’t mind it. Breaks the monotony of all these black and gray aramid fiber cases.

The screen protector I’m using does not collect fingerprints and oils. It’s called MIPOW King Bull.
Def this in an armor pro version. 🎉
That would be great
Would low key buy that in a heartbeat
Instant buy if they release it in armor pro version
Armorpro version is out !!
Excellent review! After HOURS of searching for a thin case without a screen lip, I think I'll go with this one. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to use the discount code. Save yourself some money.
@@Brians_tech Just ordered with your discount code! 🚀 Thanks Brian!
Is it safe to set down on the screen? It looks like the corners have a little bit of raisivity 😂
I probably wouldn’t lol. Not really a protective case
Better than Pitaka?
Yes
Review the new lagoon Togo and black Togo cases from andar lol 🙏🏻😎
Haha I’m working on it. I’m going to get one of them
mine is on the way, can't wait...
another fire video bro
Thanks man!
Same!! out for delivery today, can't wait!!
What is it with phone companies Can’t they make a case for the normal 15
Yeah not sure why they’re not making them for the regular 15 series. I guess it might not be as popular or sell as well.
I think the logic is people opting for the cheaper iPhone will also opt for a more budget no name case. That’s why a lot of the more premium brands only sell for the pro. Just assuming.
Does it show fingerprints?
Very lightly. Because of the colors and design, they’re not easy to see.

Nope, mine doesn’t do that. You might want to contact Benks for a warranty replacement.

I am looking to order this case for my z fold 6, is the carbon fiber black or blue ?
Blue
love it
Thanks! Working good with a screen protector on?
Yep perfectly fine
Help! Pitaka or this?
Definitely this. It provides coverage for the top and bottom. Also use my discount code in the description to save some money.
@@Brians_tech 🫡
Nice design
Does MagSafe leave a ring on the back ?
Yes, but you can wipe it off. It does take a little while to appear though.
Benkkkkkksss
Hi thanks for the video and the discount code 😊
Absolutely. Thanks for watching 💪🏼
Mines getting delivered today😎
That’s awesome! Let me know what you think.
