Yea, if it's shipped and sold by Phone Rebel, Amazon return policies are out the window. I think?
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, I’m not sure about that. It says “30 day returns”, but I don’t know if that means to Amazon or PR. 🤷🏽♂️
OK, so it’s essentially the same as buying direct. Thanks.
Moved from Tinee Owl to Phone Rebel Air. This is such a good case.
I’m with you guys. Went ahead and placed my order. Haven’t heard anything from them so hey, let me go ahead and see what it’s about.
Damn, PR really slacking not getting one out to you straight away. I'm just praying they even have the damn cases.
I mean they could be and whenever they do they will overnight it. I’m curious if it’s shipping right away since it’s on the site? I will email them to see if they respond during the weekend to get some clarity. I’ll report back.
Seems like a lot of people just want to trash it and some may not have even tried it. But at the end of the day it's your list and your opinions. It's an excellent case, especially for that price point. Probably one of, if not the best, budget case.
Gen 6 with CC on Amazon looks like it'll deliver right now between the 10th and 13th of March, at least to me. I haven't ordered it yet, but sounds a bit more promising that it may actually be the CC button version.
It depends how you look at it though. I have AppleCare Plus for peace of mind but at the same time it’s a hassle going down that route and I rather nothing happens to my phone in the first place. Therefore I’m reluctant to use any of the minimalist options out there. I rather use a glass screen protector and a full case all be it not a bulky or thick one. I’m currently using a glass screen protector and the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T which I think is a good compromise.
So Phone Rebel went down the copper rod route with their CC button.
Very interesting 🙄.

You are going to LOVE it with your Orange buttons and Camera ring.Pray I get the copper rod special and not the open hole joint
Even paid for Priority Mail shipping

Just don't complain about the missed CC button swipes lol.
I guess any button is better than a cut out hole.

Hi all,
I have been following this thread for a while and finally joined the forum.
I am buying a 16 Pro Max tomorrow and I am looking for a case that isn't too bulky, will not fall apart easily and has good grip/isn't too slippery. The Pro Max is a big phone so I want a case that feels nice in the hand and makes the already big phone more comfortable to hold.
Any recommendations?

Update. Flipped some Samsung vacuums so I had extra spending money. I’m such a hypocrite 🤣

Caudabe sheath and Paragon have pretty good grip. Synthesis is good but the back scratches up a bit. Phone rebel gen 6 aramid has great grip and protection, also comes with a screen protector. Phone Rebel air 2 also is the same way but not as protective as the gen 6. If you are looking for a clear case, Dbrand Ghost 2.0 is great with a pretty good camera control button (although some people have had issues with their CC button, mine works very well). Dbrand grip has excellent grip and is protective, plus super customizable with the skins you can get. I hope that helps!
You haven’t told us what kind of case you’re after. Do you want a clear case or one with a solid colour. Leather, polycarbonate or silicone. If you don’t mind clear the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T is a good case.
and they offer in frost black, which is a great case. The MagSafe is very strong
I don't really have a preference. I just want a case that is quality, offers good protection, feels good in the hand and has good grip.
