dbrand Ghost or Phone Rebel, which do you rate as the better case?
they are completely different cases. comparing apples to oranges. ghost is nice. buttons are clicky. cc button presses in super easy, almost on its own. i actually like it that way. only reason i stopped using it is that it provides no screen protection. the lip is basically flush with my screen protector. the pr is nice. provides full protection. not really sure why it doesn’t stay on my phone. it’s really a perfect case. i might just go back to it now as i can’t think of anything negative to say about it.
 
Anyone tried this? Might not fingerprint?

Best choice of case and color for me this year, but if, like me, you put the phone in trousers pockets, it only retains its looks and feel for about 3 months. After that, shiny corners, sticky feel and lots of lint, as the silicone degrades from rubbing against cloth. It should be half the price it is, so that buying again would not seem so exorbitant.
I really wish they'd fix how sticky these cases are. They'd be perfect, but I can't stand having to wipe off my phone every time I take it out of my pocket.

My beloved apple cases failed me after a waist high drop, phone popped out the case cracking the phone and scuffed the bezel pretty bad. I have a brand new in box green silicone if anyone is interested. Thinking about going rebel ultra or red caudabe.

Phone Rebel charge £21 for shipping to the UK. Surely they can't be right? You could literally buy another case with £21!

I feel like fit is underrated - it may be the most important aspect of protection. The Rebel has the best fit among all of the cases I’ve ever tried.

They probably tack on a hassle charge. International shipping is a pain for individuals and small businesses.

I was just about to place my order and saw the £21 charge for shipping. Other cases coming from China etc do not charge £21. £21 is ridiculous to ship to the UK!

I don’t disagree. Was just suggesting a possible reason for their unusually high international rates.

Damn you Arc Pulse. Been using it since the weekend and adore the in hand feel. I literally never drop phones, last night somehow dropped it and it fell where the titanium side hit the table. I now have a couple of sharp dents/scratches near the action button.

Problem is, the Phonerebel Gen 6 Ultra now feels like a tank.... :(

Bummer about damaging your phone. Hopefully you have AppleCare?

I hear you regarding the Arc Pulse vs any fully protective case. For me, it makes all of them feel too heavy, especially once you get up around 50 grams and over (looking at you Rebel and Caudabe).

Today I’m back in the Arc after having been in the Benks Prestige for a couple of weeks. The Benks has been the best full coverage case for me this year. It’s not bad at 38 grams, but the Arc still feels much better.

Always tradeoffs…
 
Can't you order from Amazon in the UK?
They don't sell it on Amazon UK.
I need to decide if the case is that good to pay £21 shipping or should I go for the Dbrand Ghose 2.0 which won't cost as much!
I am looking for a nice feeling protective case as I use my phone in the gym a lot where I am prone to dropping it, leaving it on the side etc, so I need decent protection!

Both are major fingerprint magnets

Ive got brand new Rebel for Pro. Never used this one. Got it of Amazon to use my gift card. But you want new direct from manufacturer lol.

If you interested ill sell it to you for £35 including postage.

The only thing Ive done to it is install precise cut out skins on the inside of the buttons as they were bare metal and also stop rattling similar to what Ive done to the one I use myself.
