Pitaka Aramid Case for S10+ (S10, S10e as well) - preorder case arrived (pictures)

[corwin_amber]

As I got the Pitaka Case for the S10+ today, I added pictures. I have been using them for S8+, Note 8 and S9+ and can only heavily recommend it. Rich people can buy another (cheaper) one first

This case is as minimal, as it gets. It offers not very much drop protection, but literally gives you the edge (on the left and right side, where it is like a piece of soap) to grab your device securely (pun intended ), while keeping your device pretty. They are very durable, I always sell them in perfect condition after a year. It is also compatible with the Pitaka MagMount Qi, which lets you charge wirelessly in the car and attach it securely but magnetically. This is vital to me.

In case you want to buy one as well, I will be happy if you use this link - it will give you 10% off your order and 5 USD to me:

Me too for my S10+, delivery expected in two days.

 

[corwin_amber]

Yours in Bahrain as well?

 

[sebdigital]

Yes.

Got notification from USPS, being delivered today. Hope to be able to enjoy the best of both worlds - wireless charging and being able to attach to the magnetic phone holder in my car.

How much bulk do the cases add?, thickness?

 

[corwin_amber]

Mine could be arriving today as well - will add pictures to OP, one it is here

The case is awesome, there is no bulk at all, it is very thin like a skin.
Only downside is there are no raised lips at top and bottom.

Does Pitaka ship from inside EU?

Not ATM, but they will become available on Amazon.de (at least) eventually - no idea, when - for 50€. If you order now, you can get them for 45 USD (just shy of 40€) by using one of the 10% off codes. Orders over 30 USD are free shipping worldwide.

The problem is the import taxes i very high, so an 45USD case will end up at 70-80 USD before i have it on my S10

My order is being sent by ups from Germany today, so yes they do.

 

[corwin_amber]

That is cool!

Got mine, will be sending it back. I simply did not realize that it offers ZERO screen protection. I was hoping for at least raised lips on the top and bottom edges. My Note 8 has taken plenty of falls but a Spigen hybrid has done an awesome job of protecting it and I traded it in for S10+ looking like new. With PITAKA if the phone lands face down, it's game over for a $1300 phone.

 

[corwin_amber]

I understand that, i was a little surprised as well. On the other hand, I discovered,what it is like to swipe into the screen from the bottom without a raised lip - for me personally, this beats it.
If one drops the device occasionally (for whatever reason), there are options out there that protect the phone a lot better. If you want to be as minimalistic as possible, this it is.

Nah, my order was shipped from Bahrain

Got mine on Thursday. Gotta say I'm pretty dissapointed in the coverage this time and the texture is different. It's much more smooth, less grippy and quite slippy to be honest.

Pitaka has been my go to case for my past 4 devices, but its crap this time. Way too low on the edges, needs to come up higher.

I still have the cases for my old devices, they were so much better. Really dissapointed.

 

[felloffthetruck]

I don't like the open buttons and the fingerprints these collect on the back.

If you want maximum minimalism, this is for you. If you want more protection, you are looking for a more bulky case.

To me, this minimalism and the fact that it also has a qi charger for the car in the lineup, make the deal.
