I’ve been wanting this case for sometime now. It was either that or the regular black symmetry and slap my own pop socket on there. I like not having to hassle with placing my own on the case.

I really like having it built in. It still doesn’t lay flat but I’m ok with that!

The carbon Monarch is not slippery.

They (Dbrand) say Toronto in the email but the case actually ships from New York.

I tried the Monarch at Best Buy the other day. Grip is great but I didn’t like how big it felt in my pockets cuz of it being squared off.

My Cyril came in today. Nice case. I like the soft touch but I guess cuz my hands are so dry it’s more slick to me than the Ringke Fusion I had been using. Sigh.

Slippery initially. I only noticed this, because when I took my black leather Apple case off, and put the red one on, I thought I was going to drop the device.

With body oils and such, the case will lose that slipperiness in a few days. I have always liked the Apple leather cases. Albeit, I WISH there was an option of sorts, for a stand (to watch films\YouTube during lunch)...

How does it feel and look? I’m really wanting the red leather now.

basically a popsocket but it slides into apple brand cases instead of sticking on

I have a feeling that for most of us, almost all cases are going to be a little slick because of our dry hands. My hands are really bad and need prescription moisturizer to stop the bleeding. I wash my hands obsessively. And that isn’t a good thing.

Wow your hands get like that as well? Mine get super bad this time of year. I work in IT so am always washing my hands. I am in pain all winter long with the cracking and bleeding. My fingertips are especially bad. Not fun when typing lol! Did not know there is a prescription you can get.

Yes sir. I work closely with law enforcement and have to handle people closely including a bunch of homeless people. Sometimes gloves are not readily available especially when having to go hands on so alcohol wipes, hand sanitizer and hand washing are at an all time high. Heh....

Any chance you could please share a photo of it on an Apple Leather case?

Thanks in advance, if you can...

I have read in a thread here that it will fit on a OB Symmetry, but you cannot slide it. Haven’t just bought one for my mom, I can confirm that it fits the  Leather case and a couple different clear cases.
