Pitaka vs Later Case

[cman-uk]

Have had Pitaka cases for the best part of 10 years.

However, steadily increasing prices, more visible branding, and a growing camera bump protection ring means consideration given to their competitors.

Much controversy was published when Later Case came out with their product, the Pitaka CEO claimed it was a copy of their product, etc.

Which one is better and why?

I had the pitaka for the 14p. This year I have the pitaka pro for the 15pm. So it’s not apples to apples since they’re 2 diff cases.

The 14 thin version was superb in fit. The plastic rim kind of got beat up. Rest is perfect.

The thicker pro case for the 15 is phenomenal!


Recently grabbed the Thinborn for 15PM (thin like the pitaka thin one), and it’s nice. Very tight. A tad hard to remove.

Texture is a little more than pitaka which I like. Though it’s close.

The camera ring is better being metal. The magnets are a bit stronger too.

I don’t like the one you mentioned just because how it covers the camera bump.

If amazon carried the later case, i'd give it a shot.
Ease of returns, etc. But yeah I don't like the branding on Pitaka at all. I just don't want the name on the back of my phone.

IMO I would go with pitaka due to it having MagSafe and later case not having it if you don’t care for MagSafe then Latercase might be a better choice

I love Pitaka but am bummed the magnets aren’t as strong on the 15 series at least for a couple of their cases, especially when I love their MagSafe ring. However, with that said I’m sure I’ll be putting my Pitaka case back on once this phone is paid off and the newness has worn off.

What is big deal with magsafe strength? Pitaka has same strength as Apple cases and it's enough. I never had problem with it.
Yes, with series 13 iPhones Pitaka had much stronger magnets, but cases also were heavier and bulkier.

Just an update Pitakas new minimalist cases have a very strong MagSafe! Nice colors, but pricey

I don't really like the look of the Later case, although it seems like they are even lighter than the Pitaka, which is nice.

Also would prefer no branding, but other than that Pitaka cases look much better to me.

Get the original. Why buy a copy cat?

Pitaka have just released a new line MagEZ Case 5 which is crazy light, something like 13g. Impressive!

Unfortunately the branding remains prominent.

Been using the latercase. Happy with it for now. That logo is still a killer for me.

They said "MagSafe compatible". Does this case have built-in magnets?

AliExpress. I paid $20 during Black Friday. Magsafe. No branding. As good as a Pitaka I had in the past.
