"Benks decided their limited edition iPhone case should actually reflect what the horse represents: strength, elegance, and refined power. The Knight ArmorAir case uses military-grade Kevlar as its foundation, the same material trusted in aerospace and body armor, then layers in artistic details that transform functional protection into something worth displaying. The design starts with a deep burgundy Kevlar weave that creates texture through the material itself rather than surface treatments."
"A lighter champagne-toned pattern forms a running horse across the back, with individual dots creating movement and depth when light hits it from different angles. The camera bump gets the most elaborate treatment, featuring an embossed horse head with flowing mane details inspired by traditional Chinese ornamental metalwork. Rose gold accents on the frame and buttons coordinate with the iPhone 17 Pro Max's natural titanium finish."
"The foundation is 1000D DuPont Kevlar, the same aramid fiber family used in bulletproof vests and aerospace components. This material offers tensile strength five times that of steel while weighing considerably less, which is why your phone case can be slim and protective simultaneously. Most people associate Kevlar exclusively with black because that's its natural woven appearance, but Benks spent years perfecting the dyeing process."
2026 marks the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac, associated with vitality, independence, and forward motion. The Knight ArmorAir iPhone case embodies strength, elegance, and refined power through a military-grade Kevlar foundation and layered artistic detailing. A deep burgundy Kevlar weave creates texture without surface treatments, while a champagne-toned dotted pattern forms a running horse across the back that shifts with light. The camera bump features an embossed horse head with flowing mane motifs inspired by Chinese ornamental metalwork. Rose gold frame and button accents coordinate with the iPhone 17 Pro Max titanium finish. The case balances slimness with aerospace-grade protection.
