Yea, I have an old ProClip mount that was made for my vehicle. I do need to upgrade that mess soon.
Got a tip for us?

I was sold a Clicks case again this year by the old reliable Michael Fisher. The upgrades seemed genuinely promising, and my local Best Buy had them in stock surprisingly enough.
While I still adore the idea of a hardware keyboard for iPhone, Clicks ain't it. The keyboard itself was great! It's a shame because the case itself is mediocre at best.
The edges are a little rough all around. You can easily feel the seam between the TPU sides and the polycarbonate backing. This is especially egregious around the Camera Control cutout. Oh, right, it has a cutout for CC. 🚩
The upgraded buttons are now some kind of metal, my fingers think magnesium. They're terrible. The power button is so stiff and offered so little feedback that I constantly triggered Siri instead of locking my screen. You'd think a case that adds a bunch of buttons would have good ones on the side, right?
Magsafe was surprisingly strong. Held on to my wallet no problem.
The keyboard itself was decent, save for the creaking on the far left side. Guessing there's some internal space that could've and probably should've been filled with glue. iPhoneOS still doesn't like hardware keyboards though.
Suffice it to say I happily returned Clicks to my local Best Buy today. I'm back to going caseless.
I firmly maintain that there are no good cases for the 15/16 lines. The devil on my shoulder convincing me to buy Clicks only reinforced that belief.
Thanks for reading, see ya'll next year when I inevitably try Clicks again for iPhone 17 Air/Pro/Ultra/Quantum/Extreme/Type-R

Ha!
Yes, bought it for 5,96€ the other day because my leather case hadn’t arrived.
I find it a bit bulky, but it fits well.
The CC button works, but could be more sensitive.
For 6€ you can’t complain, I guess.
Edit: a bit slippy as well.
Cheers
Rolf

I’m going to take it my local Apple Store this week and see what they say. Hoping they’ll swap it out…and this one is a fluke.
Going to go the local Apple Store in Manchester this week and see what they say.
Phone Rebel still do not have the new components kits in stock? I wonder when they will be in stock..
Not quite 40% off but here’s what I used for my order. It’s 25% off. “NICE UPGRADE (25%)”
Didn’t know it was a US only code.
Only other code I know is “STACK10” which gives 10% off and free shipping.
Not sure if that’s a US only code as well.
The Phone Rebel Gen 6 Ultra love, sure died out quick over here 🤔
It’s really nothing new but a button. The people raving over it probably don’t hardly use the CC button anyway. It’s just the “new shiny” (actually dark and smudgy😆) thing of the moment.
It hasn’t been off my phone since it arrived. It replaced the Apple Silicone and will be my HD case for the remainder of this cycle. For me it’s the best full coverage case this year. Not much more to say…

Not really.
My Rebel landed at Heathrow this morning.
Anyone in UK still wanting Gen 6 Ultra, one left in stock on Amazon UK (sold and fulfilled by Amazon US)
Still waiting for mine. It’s made it as far as Jersey City. It might be here tomorrrow.
I emailed them a couple weeks ago about this and they answered saying 1-2 weeks - which in PR time means 1-2 months
