It's not just you. The design of the PR cases does not appeal to me at all, but the same goes for other aramid fiber cases too. The PR aesthetically is probably even worse because of all of the busy-ness on the sides. Looks like the build quality is great, but I would never get it.
It is crazy what a CC button integrated into a case is doing this year.

I bet half of the users who have ordered the PRU wouldn’t usually touch it because of the aramid smudge magnet if it wasn’t for it.
 
Smudge cases are no different to dirty hands.

When you get your hands dirty you go clean or wash them. You don’t go stop using them.
Some people tend to have sweaty or slightly more oily hands. you can't simply keep washing them hands.

PR Gen6 Ultra ain't made of these people (myself included). I hope they will release Ultra for the Frosted version.

So my initial thoughts on the Ridge Everyday Case aren’t bad. It’s lacking grip pretty badly, but other than that the fit, Buttons, CC button, are all good. I like the exact speaker hole cut outs at the bottom of the case.

Sorry for the bad pics (iPad) and rushed “review” , headed out the door to work but wanted to at least report back something.

i only switched out the action button to orange. maybe tmi but just before i hit the rack i press my action button which triggers my favorite playlist for an hour. lights are dim or off and i like being able to quickly see it and not just by feel.
Why not the lens protector?
 
Good news: Phone Rebel shipped my case last night.
Bad news: They shipped it USPS Ground Advantage, which isn't due until March 12. :(

Well, it is free shipping...
 
Phone rebel have won the case battle for this year. Perfect case.
Coming from another Tinee Owl appreciator, that's great to hear and makes me optimistic. I friggin' love the grip on the Owl and have a hard time imagining liking something better. And of course zero smudging.
