In Technically Tee's latest video, he says the Nomad Rugged is one of his favourite cases, but in his reply to me a couple of days ago about the case, he said he was not a fan of the Nomad Rugged because he hates the way Nomad cases fit. So which is it then?

That just proves you can't take any YouTubers opinions seriously and they are just saying what these companies/brands want to hear and what will get them the views!
He might have changed his mind between when he replied to you and when he recorded the video hahaha 🤣

Nonetheless, I usually take a pinch of salt to what cases he likes or rank high blah blah. Most importantly are the fit test, pull test and MagSafe test etc. which I use to determine whether the case is ideal for me 😃

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.

I think I’m done for this year; I’ve lost all interest in waiting on third-party cases with camera control buttons (what an effed up year it’s been). Just ordered a backup black Apple Silicone to go with the black and stone gray I already have, and will probably keep a pair of ultra thin Pitakas. Everything else is either already returned or currently in transit. I’ll be checking in to get my case fix, but won’t likely have anything new to show for the foreseeable future.
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.

What is the consensus on the top 3 cases, not including the leather ones?
  1. Caudabe Sheath with camera control button
  2. Phone Rebel Gen 6 with camera control button
  3. Mous Limitless 6 with camera control button
Oh wait, none of those exist. Here’s my revised list:
  1. Apple Silicone, black
  2. Apple Silicone, stone gray
  3. Apple Silicone, denim
(Sorry for being such a smart@ss).

Black titanium is so nice with stone gray, natty also looks excellent with those colors.
