PR shipping always this good?

It's annoying that Phone Rebel do no not have the Tough ULTRA kit in stock. I don't want to have to buy it separately and pay for shipping when it does come in stock!

Yikes it seems like everyone (who would be bothered by weight) isn’t bothered by that for this particular case apparently. The hype is real!
This won’t be my everyday case. I need one heavy duty case for a few situations that come up now and then, hopefully this one will fit the bill. It was one of my most used cases last year so I know what to expect.
 
I haven’t watched the video yet but I’ve decided if I can’t try with easy returns (Apple/Amazon) I won’t bother as it’ll come from the U.S. Plus it’ll only get half a years use now and the Tough Ultra set is OOS so even more waiting and extra shipping.

Look forward to more hands on comments from you guys though.


Caudabe next then? 😉

Yeah this is how I felt with the kickstand camera conveniently going out of stock the day before the ultra launch. Anyways, just order it on Amazon. Free shipping
 
Would love to see how Gen 6 pairs up with Desert Ti.

Also got this in my Amazon basket since yesterday. Not sure if this will over complicate the colour combos.

Okay
Looking for a case, and it seems impossible to find a case with these specs:

open bottom
bigger cut out at the camera control button, like this one:

nice leather, or even better vegan leather
but if it's not leather this would be okay as well.
But it seems there is no case with open bottom and the bigger CC button cut out? Seems odd to me, since the open button and the bigger cut out seem to match in the philosophy of leaving some open spots?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Rolf

My guess is that there’s a build reason for that not to be available. Open bottom + big cutout would only leave a small portion of case to cover that bottom corner of the phone, probably leading to loose fit issues.

Thanks, yes, maybe that is the reason, although that little brigde in the small cut out for the CC button doesn't seem to provide a lot of stability. But I thought along the same line as well..
Cheers

No way . Mine does not have any of that and it’s been on 3 weeks straight .. you should complain and get a replacement

Did you try a damp cloth to see if it comes off ?

It’s difficult to tell from photos, but to me that looks excessive.

I will return it. Regardless I expected lint and dust magnet, but it's much much more than I expected.

Also, I contacted Arc support today...

Has anyone tried this one:

the pic doesn't show the CC button, but sind they have a cut out at the other buttons?
Cheers

Hoped for luxury cases from apple.
Just isnt going to happen soon I guess
I guess from my perspective, vegan leather is barely (if even) an upgrade from silicone. FineWoven was the right idea, but with poor implementation. My guess is that they’ll eventually release what amounts to a FW2 that is more stain and scratch resistant (thinking of some of the high thread count fabrics in the outdoor clothing market that are quite durable).
 
Of the new Apple case colours I’m torn between periwinkle and aquamarine for my white PM. Think I’ll wait for some real world pics before deciding.
