Talk about a conversation case! The PITAKA Aramid Fiber Magnetic Case looks cool, feels cool, and actually is pretty cool when you look at what it's made of. Aramid fiber is a ballistic-rated synthetic fiber that is used for aerospace construction and body armor. With this stuff on your phone, it will be rendered literally bullet-proof. The fiber is woven together in a way that looks like carbon fiber, which looks pretty snazzy on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, especially the Graphite and Silver colorways.
While the case may be bullet-proof, it is surprisingly light and thin - one of the slimmer cases I've ever put on my iPhone. Despite its thin profile, I feel pretty good about the protective qualities of the PITAKA case. This manufacturer also builds a thin strip of magnetic metal into the case, so it works with various magnetic and mounting accessories. And don't worry, it doesn't impede MagSafe charging at all! The PITAKA offers a good all-around protective case, although there were a couple of things I wasn't thrilled with. I'll go into all of that below.
