Actually went back into the green Benks thinny thin, lot less fingerprints and so much thinner :D

I also find myself using the Magsafe Ringke rugged quite a bit, it's such a good case.
Great choice, still over here rocking and loving Benks Aurora thinny thin.

The case hunt is done for me, I’ve entertained enough cases this year lol.
 
5 months into PRG6 and still in love.

A few light smudges on the back does’t matter or detract from the greatness of this case.

I used Speck Presidio Grips for the past 10 years.

This PRG6 is such an incredible upgrade that I weep for all those years in a garbage case that fell apart and cracked in due time and was replaced every 6 months.

The PRG6 is worthy of its praise in my opinion.

I love this damn case so much.

Add the Mothica Glass AG SP and this combo just makes my tummy warm.

Nice. Ringke makes some good cases. The new Alles is excellent for what it is, a better alternative to the Defender and Monarch at half the price.
 
Any UK members have a Benks Prestige Armor Pro they don’t use and want to sell off??
 
I was looking at screen protectors. There is tempered glass, Gorilla Glass, and sapphire. There is a difference between tempered glass and Gorilla Glass. Tempered glass is more impact-resistant, and Gorilla Glass is more scratch-resistant.
Sapphire is more scratch-resistant than glass screen protectors but not as good with impacts. The big problem with the Sapphire screen protectors is their cost. +/- $65 bucks is way too expensive, for what you pay you get very rudimentary installation jigs, and usually only one screen protector. Now that I have the installation jig figured out on the ESR it is now my choice going into the future. the ESR glass screen protector's ease of installation on my iPad Pro M4 13" is what caused me to get an ESR for the new iPhone.
 
Case friction from swiping up 😂😂😂 Heard it all now.

Is your current case made from sandpaper?
my thumb catches the bottom of the case, and since the screen sits LOWER than the case, doing that hundreds of times a day causes discomfort between the tip of the thumb and my nail. But thanks for the input.

Do not buy that at all, unless of course, your case is made of sandpaper.

You can swipe up on the phone screen without even touching the case ffs 😂😂 Regardless of what case is fitted to the phone.

The even bigger problem with sapphire protectors is that they ALL cover part of the phone screen smh. They never updated them to work with the thinner bezels

I had Sapphire lens protectors on the 12 Pro Max I once had. They were awful; they needed protection more than the camera lens, broke easily, and they were several times the cost of the glass protectors. This is the ESR Lens protector I have installed on the 16 Pro Max. The installation jig is absolutely foolproof

I received my Phone Rebel Component kit today. I ordered both the Folding Matte black and the Folding Ultra Orange. I like the kickstand a lot - I find it useful.

I let my wife decide which color to install. She chose the Ultra Orange - she says it's more copper than orange.

My set did not include an orange Rebel logo. Did other people get that?

Doesn't look like you get the flat orange buttons either?

My full kit came with the orange Rebel logo and flat buttons.

Nice, though if those shades of orange don't match that would drive me nuts!

On reflection, I think I didn't get the logo because I didn't actually order the kit. I jumped on the folding lens ring as soon as it was available. When they added the buttons and the full kit, I just ordered the buttons. I guess you only get the logo when you order the full kit. I'm actually okay with that, though. You guys seem less than thrilled with the logo, and I prefer not to advertise, generally speaking.

By flat buttons, do you mean flush with the case? I like these as they are. They are easy to spot both by feel and color contrast.
