The Benks Mist Case is part of Benks' more affordable Essential series, made of TPU rather than Kevlar. Available in Orange, Blue, and Black, I picked Orange to match my iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange.
Benks iPhone cases, screen protectors, and power banks, with a focus on the Pro Max line.
The Benks Mist Case is part of Benks' more affordable Essential series, made of TPU rather than Kevlar. Available in Orange, Blue, and Black, I picked Orange to match my iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange.
The Benks ArmorGrid ArmorPro is the latest Kevlar-woven case in the ArmorPro series, with a jiaoluo pattern and MagSafe support. Available in Terra Orange and Azure Blue, though I wished the orange were less red and brown.
The Benks ArmorGrid ArmorAir Grand Combo bundles three accessories for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in Azure Blue, the inverse of Cosmic Orange. It retails around S$86 on Lazada, with code lesterchan15 for 15% off direct.
Benks sent me the ArmorPro Prestige, the higher-end model in their ArmorPro line: a TPU case with a rugged Kevlar exterior and MagSafe support. It retails for S$79 with a free screen protector, or use code lesterchan15 direct.
Benks sent over the GlassWarrior Sapphire Screen Protector for my iPhone 17 Pro Max ahead of launch. Retailing for S$36, it was far easier to apply this time thanks to experience with the iPhone 16 Pro Max version.
The Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank is the Qi2-certified version of the ArmorGo, lifting wireless charging from 5W to the full Qi2 speed. Oddly, Benks never prints the Qi2 logo on the box. I have it in DawnLight Gold.
The Benks ArmorGo Power Bank comes in 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh capacities and several designs, sold only on the Benks website for now. Prices range from US$39.99 to US$50.99, with free shipping to Singapore and code lesterchan15 for 15% off.
The Benks Grand Headphone Stand is designed for the AirPods Max and comes in white and black. It carries a curious price gap, S$53.72 on Shopee versus S$38.05 on Lazada, or US$39.99 direct from Benks with code lesterchan15.
The Benks ArmorGo Magnetic Wallet Stand is a 2-in-1 MagSafe hardcase wallet that holds up to three cards and doubles as a portrait or landscape phone stand. It retails for S$36.90 on Shopee, in 600D, Aurora, and Prestige variants.
The Benks ArmorPop is a MagSafe phone grip and stand that borrows openly from PopSockets, right down to the name. With a metal stand and plastic grip, it sells direct for US$25.99, though Shopee is cheaper at S$28.86.
Benks surprised me with an extra case, the ArmorPro Aurora for iPhone 16 Pro Max. Inspired by the northern lights, its 600D Kevlar weave blends blue and green with hints of orange. It retails for US$52.99 direct from Benks.
I liked my lightweight Benks ArmorAir, but I wasn't as careful with my iPhone as I claimed. So I switched to the Benks ArmorPro for iPhone 16 Pro Max, whose added TPU frame and raised lip better protect the screen.
Benks makes three Kevlar 600D cases: ArmorLite, ArmorAir, and ArmorPro. The ArmorAir for iPhone 16 Pro Max leaves the buttons exposed and the frame open, retailing around S$47 on Shopee, trading some protection for lighter weight.
For the first time I skipped Apple's Clear Case, which never protects the iPhone's bottom. Instead Benks sent the Lucent Pro for my iPhone 16 Pro Max: a no-frills clear PC case with a TPU frame, weighing just 40g.
For years I relied on MobyShop to apply my screen protectors, but this time Benks sent the GlassWarrior Sapphire for my iPhone 16 Pro Max before the phone even arrived. It retails for around S$31 on Shopee, plus two cases.
The Benks Infinity Pro Magnetic iPad Stand comes in three sizes, from S$121.99 for the Air and Pro 11-inch to S$135.99 for the 12.9-inch. The solid aluminium build weighs 860g yet folds nearly flat.
