I'm leaning towards the Torras thin fit case. I just love the way a thin phone case feels in the hand. The Benks Montage ArmorPro is just a bit too thick for me.

I'm open to normal sized cases that have a thin side as well. How do the Rebel and Paragon cases feel? Would I dislike them?
If you like the Benks ArmorPro but want a thinner case, why not try the Benks ArmorAir? The Pitaka Ultra Thin and Tactile Woven are also very nice in a similar style case.

The Apple Clear case seems to be improved this year. I’m impressed with the better grip, stronger scratch resistance, less sharp bottom lip. We’ll see how well it holds up with fingerprints, but it is now part of my three case rotation.
I like the case for the most part but it feels more slippery than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid plus it has an open bottom which I’m not keen on. I ended up returning it in favour of the Spigen. The Spigen was also almost half the price too.

Phone Rebel Gen 6 Rebel case in today. Definitely not slippery like the frosty but not as grippy as last years rebel case. Everything about this case screams high quality and IMO the best rebel case made to date. Out of the box with the stock hardware it weights 54 grams, 55 grams with the large honking orange camera ring. One thing I noticed is the interior part where the camera ring screws into is a separate removable piece now and not actually molded into the case anymore. The Magsafe is strong, that large camera ring is what threw off Tee's Magsafe test with his base.
This case would be perfect with a camera control button, let's pray he is still producing them.
I like this one but the honeymoon is just getting started.
I do like the look of that case. If it had a CC button cover I would be tempted. 🤔

I disliked the Apple clear case for the same reasons. Also, it was coated in fingerprints within minutes. That was the first case I returned.

I’m very impressed with the Spigen ultra hybrid T. Not very slippery, and barely picks up any fingerprints.

Oops, hit post too fast. I also wanted to say that I dropped my 16 PM for the first time the other day onto a hard wooden floor. (The first drop took nearly seven weeks, but I knew it was coming!) Neither my phone nor the Spigen case showed any damage. And that’s the primary reason I use cases.

I agree, it’s one of the best cases this year.

We’ll see. I’ve tried a number of cases with cutouts, returned each one after a short test drive.

Old geezer here too (early fifties).
I’ve had the Benks ArmorPro on all day to get used to it. Might be ok 😄👍🏻
