Here's the TANK :cool: It's big, it's bulky, it's scratchy, but I like it ;) The buttons are fantastic, maybe a little too easy to activate. Super tight fit and the finish is so cool. Definitely turns your phone into a Tank :)

I’ve enjoyed the past few days in the Phone Rebel Gen 7, but going back to the Ultra-Slim Pitaka feels amazing. On a phone that weighs 165 grams, the difference in feel between a case that weighs 19 grams and one that weighs 50 grams is massive. It’s also nice not having such a beautiful device completely hidden under TPU…

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 :confused: Here are some quick pics:

Wow 🤯! Black on cosmic orange is 👌 just ordered a black/grey twill slim pitaka for mine. It’s going to be hard to get me out of full agent Orange look but this might do it.

anybody got a pitaka ultra slim with the 17 pro max? interested in getting one but concerned about the fit

I’ve had one on my PM just ordered another. Both have fit super tight and a struggle to get off. With that said as @Zensō amd @JBlass421 have mentioned it’s a lottery with pitaka and other aramid fiber slim cases. When you find one that fits correctly it’s magic.

Looking good. I’m glad to hear the Gen 7 Pro version hits the marks like the Air version.

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.

Ohh I would absolutely rock an actual N7 version of that… 😄

Didn't Tee's review video say the Gen 7 isn't as tight as pervious years? I remember watching him pull the sides of the case and it wasn't that tight and did easily pull/

Yikes I definitely wouldn’t install the camera plateau cover either plus I don’t care for the loud “GEN 7” on it.

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! 😉

The Gen 7 on the plateau looks horrendous

Milky Way Galaxy was best fit in my case out of a few of their options.

Someone else posted that Milky Way Galaxy was the best fit too in comparison to others as well so it seems they are pretty consistent with each design.

But overall they’re pretty good on fit I wouldn’t be too worried.

Like it a lot. Hasn’t left my phone since I got it. Is it my number one, though? Not sure yet. Will give it a thought.

I don’t know how strong Tee‘s fingers are but I absolutely struggle to pull the sides off the Gen 7. 😂 The top is a bit easier but still a non issue.

The gen 7 is nice and easy to install and take off. Can’t say the same about the frosted tho! Need a crow bar to take it out lol

So after the Spigen Nano Pop, I decided to go a little unusual left field direction and ordered a Pitaka Ultra Slim for my iPhone Air and it has just arrived. Damn it feels like the case isn't on the case at all as it is so so slim.
