glad you’re back safe and sound. i really like the look of that case and the flex frosty but i’ve been burned too many times with the alignment magnet coming out and me ruining the inside struggling to get it back in place. i would only consider the aramid versions.Phone Rebel Gen 6 Frosty - slippery as a wet bar of soap

That’s fair enough. I like the clear shiny TPU and polycarbonate. I generally use clear cases and I like the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T. I would like a coloured case which has the camera control button cover but I don’t want silicone or leather. Hopefully something will be released based on my specifications and requirements. In the meantime I’ll stick with the Spigen.
I wish they did the matte black Ultra Hybrid with the button.
I was wondering how you fared up there. 3 hurricanes here after just getting through Milton last night! Helene pretty much took our house and all belongings in Redington Beach, but, hey, still have and loving my Torras 360 O-Ring 😆. Looks like Amazon was willing to refund all my (I kid you not) wet returns.2 Hurricanes later and I'm back

Yours sincerely in orange... Love that case! Is the CC cutout working well for you?
Since I have had my 16 pro I have tried a few cases, day 1 I had the Mous Limitless Leather, Mous Clarity, and the UAG Civilian. I just received the Sheath and now the Phone Rebel Air. I didn’t expect to like the Mous with that big honking chunk taken out of it but I get a new case, try it on for 30 seconds then put the Mous Leather back on. None of the other cases are nearly as comfortable for me to hold. The Sheath camera control cut out feels sharp to me, the Air cut out feels much more refined, but the texture isn’t my favorite. My finger seems to fall right into the notch on the limitless and it feels the best out of the 4 or 5 options I have tried. Have sent back the Clarity and the Civilian. And I’ll probably send back the Air.
I have yet to try a case with a button for the camera control but plan to pick up an Apple Silly-cone although I have never liked the texture in my hand.

I hope Phonerebel gives us a black crystal this year again. Best grip out the bunch. Even if it looks like shiny leather skin tight pants at first lol
Buttons are great and the feel is pretty good. It just feels cheap overall to me. It has everything that should make it a great case but just not for me. Metagamer code gave 30% off though or watch one of his vids for an updated code
Man. How do you decide? I’m considering all 3. Got the frosty Flex and the Air coming, but that aramid looks nice too.PR Flex and Air in the house. If you’re familiar with last years cases, it’s the same. Some of my favorite cases.
Do you have any issues at all with the screen protector being pushed and raised up?
What screen protect or are you running with these? Trying to avoid any size issues with the case pushing them up.
i just ordered a magbak elite case for my 16p. i like the built in kickstand and the finger grip. i added on the extra red buttons. we’ll see if i just wasted a lot of money as it’s expensive.

That’s an interesting case I’ve been tempted to order. The included gapless screen protector looks like a great idea if it works as well as advertised.

I have both the Mag and Grip. You’re correct about the Mag’s ring being attached to the outside of the case. The Grip’s ring however, is attached by a square cutout in the back of the case. The metal hinge sits flush on the inside of the case. I can’t tell for sure, but I’m hoping there is a little clearance between the hinge and the back of the iPhone.
Glad you are safe and sound, could you post a link for your wallpaper please ? it looks awesome2 Hurricanes later and I'm back

Superb case and my favourite out of the lot. The UAG Monarch case went back to Amazon UK as it'd started to fall apart and I'd only used it once! At £75 I wasn't having that...
