the back is slippery but the sides are very grippy
Agreed. My new favorite case. Really wish they’d re-release the first series colors with camera control buttons. I bought the Ember after getting the moonstone with CC… not quite the same!
 
Can get one in a few days here $89AUD shipped.

 
They will be sitting a on a bunch of dead stock that nobody’s buying. Now, there’s a 15% off everything sale 🤣
Oh damn.... I also have a 25% code I could use 😂

£33.75, shipped….

They defintiely have too much stock to be able to discount straight away haha!

I think they were holding back stock to create demand. Preorders were to manipulate the market. Probably didnt hit the target and now they dumping especially with new iPhone with new design not far off.

Tbh I had a look earlier. Added them both colours in my cart and then i just closed my safari. Fudge it not doing it.

Ive been using Onyx for last two days and you get that Paragon feel when holding but with extra grip. No slippery back or greasy finger prints.

I was a Caudabe fanatic for years, but the thrill is gone.

I needed some extra protection over the holiday weekend so I’m back in the Phone Rebel Ultra. The fit is unreal (best ever), and the level of protection is off the charts, without being overly bulky. The fingerprint situation is not great, but livable considering the other pluses. There’s no way the Paragon could top the Rebel for me.

I totally agree. Rebel needs to diversify and offer different back materials for their Ultra line just like Mous.

Black Leather back on that Ultra case 👌

Surely not... that doesnt benefit anyone
 
Curious about the buttons. Do they rattle at all or have a lot of play to them? My biggest concerns are that and the back potentially scratching up. Also debating if I want to spend over $50 at this point on the case. You still enjoying it?
I am still really enjoying it. Back has not scratched yet and the buttons are not loose and do not rattle. I’m not using it today as my Spigen Liquid Armor T finally arrived from Spigen directly, slow boat from china. Test driving that for the day.

I don't think that at all - I think they just misjudged the amount money they got for the pre-orders. It didn't align with their minimum order quantity for the manufacturing of the cases lol.

And they launched this now to iron out the kinks ahead of a 17 launch later this year.

Lol. Nah staying away from Caudabe for now.

I wonder if @Saladin12 got his cases?
I got a shipment notification (AFTER I ASKED TO CANCEL!) on 4th July lol. 4 days later ZERO MOVEMENT. Just the 'delivery tracking label created'. They clearly did it so they didn't have to cancel the order. Very poor showing from Scamaudabe.
 
Just got this case for $12.99 at Marshall’s. Can’t complain for how cheap! I like how light it is and the buttons. I will say the MagSafe isn’t the best however.
