I know lol. I had to double check order on my account.That Eucalyptus Paragon is looking a little orange
I hope they announce CC button Paragon before Eucalyptus is shipped. I can always ask to amend my order.
Wow cases seem to be all over the place in terms of quality for the 16 series.
What is the general consensus on the Gen 6 Phone Rebel? I avoided gen 5 for a few reasons, which seem to be addressed on the 6 (better molded fiber backplate and larger charging cutout). I already ordered one mostly because nothing else has been convincingly better.
Dbrand ghost 2.0 also pre-ordered as I had a 1.0, but who knows when and if that will ever ship.
Thought about an apple silicone only because it has the camera button, but really did not like the 15 series one and silicone cases in general.
Out of all the cases I tried for the 15pm, the Otterbox symmetry was my favorite by a wide margin. I just could not get past the huge cut out version they released that leaves a chunk of the screen exposed. If they do (as some have indicated here) release a CC button or even a better cutout version it will be an instant order.

The reports are good if you’re cutout agnostic. If you’re firmly in the anti-cutout camp the usual issues apply.
Initially, the finish is better than in years past, but once they wear in the same old drawbacks appear (lint, grease). As always, the lighter colors are more forgiving.
The Otterbox Lumen is essentially the same as the clear Symmetry. If you liked the clear Symmetry, you will probably like the Lumen. The buttons and grip are very good.
As of yet, there is no indication that they will be releasing a CC button version of the Symmetry in solid colors, only clear.

The Gen 6 is my GCOAT.
So luxurious and perfect. With a Mothica glass AG SP I am in iPhone heaven.
I don’t use the CC button so don’t care about cut out trauma others may feel.
Now I’m intrigued by Caudabe moonphase though. So beautiful looking.
Thank you.
Here you go
That looks very nice but where is the phone?
What color is your iphone?
Basically non existent…maybe a little raised in the corners. Either case manufacturers messed up the specs from the jump or screen protectors are thicker this year lol horrible either way
Going with this Spigen crap today because it shows off the white perfectly and the side is flush with the CC button
What screen protector are you using? Looks cleanBasically non existent…maybe a little raised in the corners. Either case manufacturers messed up the specs from the jump or screen protectors are thicker this year lol horrible either way

ESR Armorite. First one had rainbow affect but the second install has no rainbow effect. It’s perfect.
Looking forward to getting my Paragon now!Basically non existent…maybe a little raised in the corners. Either case manufacturers messed up the specs from the jump or screen protectors are thicker this year lol horrible either way

That’s a shame about the barely-there lip on the Paragon. I don’t mind zero lip on ultra-thin cases, but on heftier 40-50 gram cases a certain level of protection is assumed. This one was top of my list for when they add a camera control button, but I may have to rethink that now. Thanks.Basically non existent…maybe a little raised in the corners.

Regarding the “cr@p” Spigen, somehow they’ve managed to get just about everything right on that case while their “high end” competitors can’t seem to get their act together this year. Kudos to Spigen for paying attention to those small (and not so small) details while keeping the price in the basement.
I dont mean crap in a bad way. It was worded poorly. I love the case as it hits all the right buttons with what it offers at an unbeatable price.
The Paragon is so amazing but the cutout for the CC is so uncomfortable and it ruins the usability long term

The PR G6 is not flush on the sides. Raised corners are perfect.
I’ve always used thin power support SP so the glass Mothica is like 5 of those in width.
But the fit is flawless for the G6.
I guess the lip is too low for a thicker glass SP.
Love the white moonphase case look though.
I would buy it off amazon to see it but not directly.
Still in love with the G6.
But always looking out for a mistress.
Any chance you've been able to find the link for this? Would love to check out his other stuff as well. This style is right up my alley. Thanks!
When I found out power support still made iPhone cases I had to get one. Will wear it later. I feel it will look awesome with my natural titanium

Just been reading some stuff on Tee's discord...is the fit on the Nomad really that crap?

Absolutely not, have the rugged and sport and both have a very tight fit. Not Caudabe Synthesis/Paragon tight, but IMO nice and tight
