I can't believe PR still do not have the Tough Ultra kit back in stock. It has been out of stock for ages. Really poor from PR!
Yep, it will be a miracle if they ever stock them again. Remember the big fat one, I forgot what it was called, but it's history, never to be seen again.

I really want the case so might just have to settle and choose another colour kit. I find the all black buttons/lens protector that comes with the case bland so I thought the Orange Tough Ultra would be a good choice!

I got the Phone Rebel Gen6 Ultra, and I hate to say it, but I think I prefer the Gripmunk I’d been using. It’s just more comfortable in the hand, and I’m not a fan of the metal camera ring.

What gripmunk case do you use? I need to check them out before ordering the Phone Rebel as comfort is important to me especially since the 16 Pro Max is not the easiest phone to hold due to the size.
 
I just buy the JUESHITUO matte black case and it's perfect, it has some texture on the borders and the back is less fingerprint magnet

And the best of all, the camera button works flawlessly

Just the plain black one with MagSafe. They smoothed out every cutout and surface on the bottom of the case, and it makes it noticeably more comfortable on the pinky than any case I’ve tried. The finger grooves are surprisingly nice to have even though they’re not super pronounced.

Can you post a link to the case please because it's not available on Amazon UK

Weekend setup 😄

I have a Sheath and a Synthesis. Now I am running a dbrand Ghost 2.0 as a daily drived. I have an AliExpress leather case on the way and hope it indeed is leather. We will see on Tuesday.

I also had plenty of Mous cases, but managed to sell them.
Which one is better: Sheath or Synthesis? I wonder between Sheath and Paragon 🤪

As I recall there was quite the discussion about this in the early days of this thread, when everyone was still pondering the CC cutout life! I know my personal conclusion based on those comments was that sheath offers the best balance of weight to protection. I’ll get a sheath day 1 if they ever put a damn CC button on it. But then there’s the Paragon and its awesome colors, damnit!

Have you tried the Paragon? People say the case is slippery...is this true?
