He might have changed his mind between when he replied to you and when he recorded the video hahaha 🤣
I reviewed bicycles as a side gig for 10 years. My website had paid sponsors, and manufacturers sent me bikes to review, some of which were returned, others I was told to keep. I was not paid to review the bikes, though obviously it was important to stay in good standing with the manufacturers; I needed to keep the review bikes coming and pissing off manufacturers was counter productive to say the least. So while I tried my best to remain unbiased, in retrospect it was nearly impossible. Whether they admit it or not, I suspect many YouTube tech reviewers are in the same predicament.
Thanks for this take. I can't imagine people remaining completely impartial.
Gonna guess phone rebel gen 6, ringke camo pig I mean camo rugged and spine ultra hybrid T?
Still over here completely satisfied with my Benks ArmorAir. I ordered an ArmorTint arriving tomorrow. I check in here regularly as I like to read people’s posts and see photos but there’s nothing else that I personally care for.
Seems like: Phone Rebel Gen 6, Ringke Onyx/Rugged in Camo, Apple Silicon or Spigen CC button cases.
Black titanium is so nice with stone gray, natty also looks excellent with those colors.
Seems to me that there's not really much consensus this year, versus last year (even considering the FineWoven debacle). I've mostly been leaning towards the Apple OEM cases especially taking into account the CC button situation, and pleasantly surprised by the Clear case this year. I think Apple missed out by not replacing the leather cases with a viable option. The Nomad cases IMO are the next best fitting cases on the 15/16 series phones, but their CC button implementation is not ideal. Plus, their leather cases are inexplicably larger than their sport cases. Just my two cents.
They’re shipping the improved Military Grade models now. I was told it’s best to order direct as they (Pitaka) can’t ensure that the old Amazon stock has sold through.
It’s a lint magnet. Always, always tradeoffs. The good news is that the lint blows off easily; attempting to wipe it off though, is a different matter.
Damn. AS Feels so silky in the hands. Was so tempted. But I have too much blackberry pearl PTSD lint dust trauma from Otter box cases back in the day.
Lint (silicone) vs grease (aramid). It seems there’s no perfect solution. The Caudabe Sheath is probably the best in this regard.
Have not felt any greasy G6 fallout yet.

The Gen 5 was among my favorite cases last year. Since I’m a prolific CC button user I’ve sworn off cutout cases, but I definitely miss the Phone Rebel. I don’t have plans to order any more cases this year, but a Gen 6 with a button could be hard to resist.
