I had the Apple techwoven case but when the Quad-Lock case became available I went to that for 17 Pro Max. It is more useful for my needs.
I also have the Quad-Lock desk charger stand which can charge two phones.
Got a tip for us?

That Tank case is very impressive 
I'll give it a try in the morning and see how it goes.

I’m always sneaking around this forum looking for the perfect case for my iPhone. Seems like alot of discussion between Paragon and Apple techwoven/ silicone cases.
I happened to own both and Paragon is the more chunky one to my hands. The experience of holding Paragon is more like naked 16PM (different materials between side and back and more squarish) while holding my tech woven is like 17PM. 17PM is on paper measured taller, wider and heavier but it feel surprisingly better in hands than 16PM.
Design play a part too.

Daily at the moment, i like every case i have for different reasons and i miss those reasons when using one or the other so i switch it up.
Can’t wait for your take on the Tank.That Tank case is very impressive
My Tank is the case my phone will live in most of the time. I might put the Sheath on now and then for a change but for me the Tank is everything I want in a case.
My only minor flaw is that the power button is a little easy to press.

He's literally just told you.
Phone Rebel Gen 7 is probably the best Rebel case to date. The fit is tight, buttons are perfect, very slim, super grippy, strong Magsafe ETC. The aramid fiber on the back is very textured and grippy, must be a new blend of fiber or something. The full orange kit maybe a little gaudy and I might change the camera ring and rebel logo back to black.
One thing I'm not too crazy about is that hard metal plateau cover and will not risk my plateau getting scratched trying that thing out. You also cannot us different colored camera frames with it as the black is built in.
I might try to see if I can get a plateau skin on the back of it (my plateau is stark naked again).
PR should have put some kind of protector on the back of this contraption Here are some quick pics:

Yikes I definitely wouldn’t install the camera plateau cover either plus I don’t care for the loud “GEN 7” on it.Phone Rebel Gen 7 is probably the best Rebel case to date.

I do agree keeping the camera ring and rebel logo black would look best. The full orange kit is just orange overload imo.
Let’s see after a while if “fingerprint city” begins.
Otherwise looking good! 😉
I see no problem with it. Sure, if apply enough pressure near the speaker part, it might pull up a little bit, like the volume or power button areas would. IMO, it's nothing to worry about.
I gave tech woven a couple of weeks then took it off one evening. Can’t get past how good the phone feels without a case. I returned it.
Looking good. I’m glad to hear the Gen 7 Pro version hits the marks like the Air version.Phone Rebel Gen 7 is probably the best Rebel case to date.

The plateau cover is just weird. I guess they were going for a Mass Effect N7 vibe with that logo? Functionally, it’s either direct metal to metal contact, which is a big no-no, or there’s an air gap, which will make it the greatest dust catcher of all time. Doesn’t seem well thought out.
Nice collection!
A black matte plateau skin would look great with that Rebel Gen 7 with all the orange bits.
Would have to be a precise cut though to not show any orange around the edge. Not sure any of the skin guys do one that precise.

Nice!!! I’ve yet to unbox my frosty yet switched over to the sheath for today. I didn’t want to bother with the camera cover for the same reasons you said it was a poor choice to make it fully out of metal.Phone Rebel Gen 7 is probably the best Rebel case to date.
