Does it come with the Orange button for the action button? I have seen many reviews on YouTube where they show the case with an orange action button or do you have to buy it separately?

Yea it comes stock with the orange textured action button and the other buttons are all black. I have it with the complete orange buttons which imo looks best to match the action button. I’ll post photos later.

The branding is a little heavy and I hope they tone it down for the 18 series as this is a case I would definitely get again. I personally can look past it.

The fit is amazing, no issues on fingerprints unlike the aramid fiber version, feels great in hand, buttons are great, not a pinky destroyer. Definitely enjoying it.

I’ve gone through phases of cases lol

I’ll just call out the contenders, there were some I bought, tried for a few days and didn’t like and just returned so won’t even bother calling those out.

I started with the Deep Blue iPhone and the Pitaka/Benks thinny thins when I first got the 17PM as that’s what I was used to with the 16PM. Tried a few of them but returned them all and ended up with the Pitaka Milky Way Galaxy one for about a month and a half.

Then moved on to the Blue TechWoven for about a month and a half as well.

Paragon Precise Midnight then came in the picture for a month, while rocking that case I switched to the Silver phone and my wife got my Deep Blue. I then got the open version in Midnight also and used that for a month as well. So 2 months in the Paragons.

Then came the Jet Black Moft which I rocked for 2 months.

Then came back full circle to the TechWoven in black which I have used for the last month.

Just a few days ago I got the Phone Rebel Frosted and I really like it, I foresee it being on my phone for a while.

All of the ones I called out and rocked are cases I like, each for their own reasons.

All the cases I don’t use anymore I end up selling since I upgrade every year and don’t care to hold on to them, once I move on I let it go lol. Only have 4 months left until the 18!

No Mous action this year?
I need to start thinning the herd of cases I have over here, just in case I decide to upgrade in Sept 🤔

I would have definitely bought the case if it wasn't for the kickstand. I don't like cases with kickstands and I don't use them. Phone Rebel also need to stop with the heavy branding, there is no need for it imo and it makes their cases look worse.

Another criticism of the case is I have read many people say the frost starts to wear off if you keep removing the phone from the case. I think others on here have said the Caudabe Frosted Synthesis doesn't have this problem.

That being said, I wish the Tank were easier to get off the phone. As it is, it’s a whole workout and I’m always worried for my phone (and the case). But I love it a lot and will probably return to it again soon.

I’m back in the Tank after a break with the Nomad Rugged and Mous Limitless and I noticed - after swapping the buttons on the Tank twice now - getting the case off the phone and the buttons out the case gets easier every time. Which makes me worry a bit about the protection of the case if it softens a bit every time I have to wrangle it? I mean I welcome the easier removal, but I don’t want to trade it for less drop protection or more dust under the case.

Did anyone else notice that on their tank?

Over the last two months, I’ve been putting Tank on and off a lot, and the fit is still very tight. The tightest case I had for the 17 Pro Max.

My Tank is still super tight after removing it several times. I only swapped the buttons once and they were massively hard to get into the case.

Are you using any clear plateau protector/skin on your phones plateau area?

I'm using one but I believe it throws off the alignment a bit when using precise cases like the Tank & precise Caudabe cases. Hate to peel it off as I do like the protection when using open cases.
