That’s what happens when you venture this thread. I swore I’d only have two cases but here I am with 5 already.

I understand the urge!

But I only have one perfect* case.

(*I would much prefer a light colored case.)

Thanks for the pictures and review. :) I'm going to order the Rebel when it's available.

Is the clear back a fingerprint magnet? I know the carbon fiber of the Rebel will be.

No problem!

So I’ve only had it for a day and don’t notice too much... maybe at certain angles. I also don’t remember fingerprints being a problem when I had the Rebel before.

What else have you tried?

I don't try out cases. I have a good imagination and I just live vicariously. :)

This was the only case I found that met my criteria (after reading on this thread about some issues with the OtterBox(es) I was considering. I put it on my 12PM before I even set it up and it's been on my phone ever since.

But, it's very possible that in a year or so I'll get a new case if something suitable in a lighter color comes out.

That's how I used to be many years ago. Now I am a case addict and have been for years lol. Yeah it is a shame about the OB cases, really wish they were better than what they are for the current iPhone lineup.

Aramid Fiber is a huge fingerprint/smudge magnet. If it has real Aramid Fiber on the back it more than likely will be the same unless it is coated with something.

The natural Nomad for the mini is in.

Edit: And I’ve already sent Nomad an email for a replacement. The right side of the case where the power is has a defect. I just noticed it, the case is wavy like a strip of bacon leaving a gap between the case border and the phone. Right above the power button the case is pulled away from the phone then drops back down allowing the power button to make contact with the case then it pulls away again from the phone and repeats the exact same patter all the way down to the bottom. Hopefully Nomad sends a replacement.

Any word from Nomad yet?
 
Just got the Dbrand grip with MagSafe for the 12 pro max. For me (although I say it often) it’s case game over. The grip is perfect, and it looks wicked with red carbon skin to match my watch setup. Unfortunately I could have probably put the camera skin a little better but I might buy another at a later date.

I wound up purchasing the Spigen Thin Fit based on a lot of positive reviews on this thread, most recently from you. To my delight, I noticed that the bottom is soft TPU, so I'm hoping it passes the pinky test. I know that the Apple silicone is still your number one, but I already have the Apple leather, and I don't think I can handle two cases that don't wrap around to the screen.

Each to their own taste but that skin makes iPhone looks like some cheap brand. Just saying.

I contacted Caudabe. I was able to switch my order from the black Sheath to the Magenta color. I figured I’d change it up and have some fun with a different color. I already have the black Nomad coming my way.

Do the grip stripes get stuck on pockets at all?

I‘m stuck between the design and magnetic strength of the Phone Rebel, and the grip of the Dbrand.

I’ve took the plunge and order the latest mous 4.0 aramid fibre case. Hope it’s good.

For anyone with previous experience using Mous limitless cases, do the massive cutouts and little cutouts(slits) between the volume buttons, cause dust and debris to damage the iPhone? I am used to cases with minimal cutouts, like the catalyst influence that I am currently using but I much prefer a case compatible with all MagSafe accessories. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Yeah the thin fit is a close second for me. If I get bored of the silicone, I will put on the thin fit for about a few days.
