Received the Tank today. Overall it’s pretty nice. The fit is great and the buttons are incredible (maybe the best). It’s not the most comfortable case, but all the different edges and surfaces make it super grippy (kind of reminds me of the UAG Monarch), which will be nice when fumbling around with it in the field. Aesthetically, I’m still not a big fan of the look, but I do like it more in person than in photos. I’ll definitely keep it and add it to the rotation.
I ordered extra buttons, and was going to swap out the black for silver, but I felt like I was going to destroy (or at least damage) the case removing the stock buttons, so I chickened out. Maybe once I’ve used the case for a while the buttons will be easier to remove. Anyone else have trouble swapping the buttons?

Yes, the buttons are unbelievably hard to swap out 😩 and will put a hurting on your poor thumbs trying to remove and install them. Definitely, no fun at all. Protect the interior or it will get scratched.

Yeah, the buttons are a bit of a nightmare to swap. It really feels like you’re tearing the case apart. But I went from black to pink to purple and back to black and both case and buttons are still intact 😅 My trick: I used a pen and a soft cloth to push them out. Getting them back in again is easier.

Have you been using that 10 pack of plateau skins and how have they been holding up?

Yes I have. And haven’t changed it/same one. So looking fine. No nics or discoloration or otherwise. Looks good and nearly non existent. Can’t see it if I don’t get it real close to my ole peepers.

Hey this looks great, as for the fit are all sides nice and stiff ? Now that’s it’s part of your rotation do you prefer this over the Beats ?

Do you only wear those camera protectors with open cases, or can you leave them on with a closed case like the Paragon Precise?

Yes, the sides are stiff. Good fit all around. So far, I don’t prefer it over the Beats—it’s pretty rough and is not very comfortable for around the house. I expected this, so not surprised. Besides the comfort, the camera control on the Beats is far better. This may not matter to some, but I use it all the time.

Beats still the GOAT over there? I would still like to find the orange one at a decent price. Can't believe this late in the game it's still $79. everywhere.

Same here. Unless the 18PM is redesigned to be more durable, I’ll be sitting out the next cycle.

Yeah, I wouldn’t want to deal with the teething problems on this device.

Yeah, though my opinion is not valuable because I haven’t tried out many cases for the PM. It’s a solid case though and works well for my needs.

OK, you folks convinced me that I wasn't going to destroy the case, so I went for it and swapped out the buttons. Once I figured it out, it wasn’t actually that difficult. I quite like the look of the silver buttons paired with the silver parts poking through the cutouts.

For sure. Besides the device itself, can you imagine the potential issues with cases? 😵

I 100% would have if it was the same form factor as the fold 7. I don’t like the foldable square thing they got going on. It’s obnoxiously wide and won’t be useable to read much closed. Basically gonna see the keyboard and like 3 lines of text lol. But I am excited to see more cases for itGood luck to everyone who goes with the foldable iPhone this year 🤞

Absolutely, I don’t even have to imagine: I have a Samsung Z Flip 3 here and the cases for that one were and still are so incredibly… stupid? For a lack of a better word. Cases come with double sided tape to attach to the sides of the case so it doesn’t slip off the phone for example. I imagine it will be easier for a folding phone, but the hinge solutions are going to be… interesting.

Just swapped into the Beats today. It‘s still a favorite here, too, despite having to compete with over 20 other cases 😅
