Got my replace rebel gen 6 and when I say I’m the king of getting defect cases … interestingly enough the carbon fiber has more texture than my original one.

Yea, I have a thing for orange and Nike volt green colors o_O

That Magma color hits HARD, hopefully they will bring it to the rugged case.

You get the matching band also?

No matching band. I have wayyyy too many bands that I’m still trying to offload lol

Pics of the cutouts? And all around.

Question is will it look nice with Desert Ti?

Cutout is very good. Still prefer the cutout of the PR Gen6 and Paragon over the Nomad however.

I believe the Natural TI would be just fine. I have the white and it looks very clean. The black would look best with this colorway, however maybe too much Halloween vibes? 😂 …regardless it’s a killer color

Did they make you send the old one back first before shipping out the replacement?
No which is good because turns out the original reason I got an exchange I think it’s just normal with the case. Having that little ridgy feeling near the camera control I would probably just keep the original one at this point

Just ordered the band too (Natural Ti hardware).
Don't normally wear that bright but this on my U2 will be a nice change from my Slate S10 & Slate LB.

Man, Mous is running some deep BF discounts on their IP16 cases. For example, the 16PM Clarity that is normally $75 is now $30, the Limitless 6 is $45. You have to wonder if they need to shed excess inventory due to poor sales because of their infamous, massive cutout. That, or perhaps they have a CC button in the works (that would be sweet)?

L to R … PR Gen6 (right now my favorite for feel in hand and comfort w/ smooth CC) - Nomad Sport Magma - PR Air2 - Caudabe Paragon Moonstone - Apple Sili
Wow. That’s gorgeous. I may need to pick one up. I love that they went with a more satin than gloss look. How is the camera cutout?

Thought I'd start off as I've just ordered the 16 Pro Max version of my reliable and favourite case for the 15 Pro Max, the Benks ArmorPro.
It has the cut out for the new 'button' which seems to be how it'll be for Pro/Pro Max cases. Maybe Apple's cases will have a solution, we'll see.
The buttons are black this time, will be nice if I can swap with my 15 PM version as it has nicer metallic buttons.

Anyway, here's pics of the Benks ArmorPro 600D.

How does the drop protection compare to TPU+rubber cases like spigen tough armor or otterbox commuter?

Anyone here have a pic of the Nomad Rugged in the Forest Green color? I have all black cases, was thinking of adding some flavor.

@Hooterville do you like the Nomad Rugged better or the PR Gen 6?
They are two completely different animals. I have used the Nomad rugged way more than the Gen 6 rebel. The Nomad rugged is thick & bulky while the Gen 6 is slimmer and more comfortable in the hand. If I had to choose one I would go with the Nomad.

They do not give a damn about what consumers want. Their moto is either buy it as it or f off.
Mous is just yet another social media marketing gimmick.. their products are so expensive but the quality and feel in hand is at best like a Caudabe but they’re at twice the price 🤨🤨

ohh and that cutout this year is absolutely atrocious 🤣

This is probably the bare case haha

I just found this on AliExpress: £3.99 | Camera Control Capture Button Case For Magsafe Mag Safe iPhone 16 Pro Max Plus 16Pro 16Plus iPhone16 Matte Black Phone Cover
Probably 95% similar hahaha. The thing is you can actually find multiple different sellers on AliExpress selling this type of cases and shipped from China.

Bare Case is engraving their names on the sides and selling them for 10 times more lol :rolleyes:
