I love the Aurora air case but it took me 3 different cases to find one without a manufacturing defect. Do a simple shake test and if the phone wobbles inside the case it’s a bad batch. This never happened to me with the original
Yeah mine does this, I found putting a microfibre cloth in the back helped. Overall it doesn’t fit great and has some sharp edges. Benks gave me an 80% refund rather than me returning it. I don’t use it now in preference for the Arc Pulse which has been great.
The fit is not as tight like when I first got it. Does wobble during the shake test and is pretty loose on the corners. I wanted to love this style of case but honestly I probably just go back to no case with my screen protector 🤷🏾♂️
Benks Air is worthy of #1, but I just wish it is a little thinner like the MagEZ 5 from Pitaka, then we have a perfect case. great video my friend. from Canada
Which of the cases have a silicon-like feel? A big annoyance for me is when they reverse your pocket any time you take them out. Would be very keen to know which is grippy but not to your pocket!
@@Brians_tech Ok I kind off asked the reverse question accidentally, going for least silicone like, seems like the kevlar ones all slide in and out of pockets well
Gotcha. Makes sense lol. Yeah aramid/kevlar cases are going to be the easiest to get in and out of the pocket but also provide some grip. That Benks Armor Air Aurora is a great one. Grippy but doesn’t pull out your pocket at all.
Good vid!! I have the Benks and found it loose and sharp edges, Benks did give me a partial refund. I then shelled out the cash for the Arc Pulse and I absolutely love it. Have been wondering about the Pitaka cause I quite like the look and feel of aramid fibre but your comments on the sharp edges (is it just the bottom?), the Benks experience and cost puts me off.
Interesting that you found it loose and sharp. I never had that issue. Maybe a bad produced unit. Pitaka’s edge that is sharp is only the bottom. I absolutely love the Arc Pulse
Their site is pretty confusing. To be honest I would just get it from Amazon if you can. It’s usually cheaper there too. Let me know which questions you have - maybe I can answer them.
Just ordered the Pitaka Sunrise for my Natural Titanium 15pm as i wanted a refresh lol 😅 I’ve you tried the nomad magnetic leather back? It’s really decent
Thanks for the vid! Does the PassionGreen Benks look thicker around the edges than the other ArmourAir cases? It’s advertised as slightly thicker, but do you notice it at all?
Great video nan wow you 100% just gained a subscriber. Going to get my Benks Air case during my black Friday shopping! Thanks bro
Haha thank you! Make sure you use that discount code to save even more money, if they let you.
Best video about minimalistic cases, thank you) For 16 pro Benks still the best :)

I’ve had some people say that. Mine doesn’t do that but this isn’t the first time I’ve heard it.
can i put it face side on table with the tempered or will the table touch the tempered?

Mine does it🙁

It is what is it on a 40 something dollars case with poor MagSafe is inexcusable imo
Really great review Brian loving the benks ones especially the air 😊

Yeah man Benks is so good. And I agree if it was as thin that would be great. But I don’t mind how it is now. Thank you! Shoutout to Canada 🫡

Looking forward for Benks Air to 16 pro
Me too. It should be great.
Hoping the Benks Armor Air comes in a new colour soon
They just did with passion green and recently aurora.

The closest one would be the Mous, it's got a soft touch on it, but I wouldn't say it's very similar to silicone.

The discrepancy in prices on Benks site doesn’t make sense to me between the features certain cases offer

Not the nomad but I have tried the Suti
Hey brian, love the content man! the moment I am browsing to make a decision on a case your video shows up! Appreciate your work! 🫶
Thank you! Glad it helps.
Thanks for the vid! Does the PassionGreen Benks look thicker around the edges than the other ArmourAir cases? It’s advertised as slightly thicker, but do you notice it at all?
You don't notice it at all. It feels great in the hand and has some grip on the back and on the sides.
@@Brians_techthanks 😊
Wonder if the 15pro cases will fit the new 16pro phones.
They don't. The 16 pro phones are larger and have the camera control button.
