I've not normally been one for 'fiber' type cases, mainly because fingerprints have always bugged me too much. I tried the Rebel Gen-5 this year and thought it was poor, I particularly disliked the gaps between the fiber backing and the TPU sides, grime just seemed to always be stuck in there.

But.. someone just gave me a Benks MagClap ArmorPro and I am pretty impressed. It feels beautifully made and high quality, a few hours in I'm not seeing many fingerprints, cutouts don't hurt my pinky, and the buttons are fantastic. It's taken me by surprise but I'm loving it. One of the most impressive cases I've had this year.

And makes me think.... has anyone got any other fiber cases they'd recommend trying? As above, I really didn't like the Rebel, and I did try the Pitaka but found the cutouts sharp on my pinky.

Yes! Best case IMO.
First case I bought and have a big pile of shame of eight other cases as I always go back to the Benks Armor Pro.

Otterbox Cactus Green in the house :oops:
Was kind of hoping the green was more like the stock Otterbox pics, but it is what it is.

What ya think about this green?

Wonder what the brown is like in person?

The case looks great, but I’m gonna need some details on how you changed your icons and where you found those specific icons. This reminds me so much of my 3GS days when I was jailbroken and would go through and change each icon one by one. I wasted so much time doing that, but man was it fun!

Guys this otterbox
Cactus is like a dream come true…. It’s otterbox, leather like , tight fit, soft lining , nice buttons and cutouts and leaves no MagSafe marks….. I hope they make one for the 16….

You'd think they would make it for the 16 but Otterbox has yet to sell the cases on their own website lmfao. These were announced at CES back in January.

I changed them all using shortcuts one at a time. The only problem with this is the notification badges will not show up on these icons. The icons were from an expensive icon pack. There are icons from 2-3 different packs here.

Stopped off at my local Verizon, and got the black cactus for my 15 promax. Very impressive, buttons, grip, fit on the phone, and no obtrusive branding.

Really well done
I don't think this case can be bought from the UK as can't seem to find it anywhere..
