It doesn’t look good. My Gen 3 arrives this week. If it’s as rubbish as it looks then I will do a PayPal claim of the customer service is rubbish.
I thought his first case was great, despite the shipping delay fiasco. Unfortunately it seemed like he got in over his head, and has struggled ever since to get out from behind the 8-ball.
I do love Blue Jay and will probably grab one since I got the 13 about a month ago, but otherwise waiting for the spring colors now.
I am looking forward to seeing the spring colors for the Apple leather cases.
Today is the day fam! Lets see if these Rebel cases are really trash like its being reported! Mine is out for delivery today, video will be going up tomorrow!
Nice, can you at least give us some initial impressions here today?
Absolutely as soon as I get it.
Mine is supposed to arrive today as well. I am a little pissed as the description says metal buttons. The rest seems to be correct but I wanted the metal buttons this year.
Edit: the buttons are supposed to be metal on theses cases, in the pictures they look like plastic.

So some people have been commenting on my page saying they are getting the Rebel case and its great. Hmmmmmm guess I have to wait and see.
Mine is finally out for delivery............come on Mailman
I’m holding off ordering it until we get your take. ?
Ehhhhh heard the buttons are cheap af, we are talking about it in my discord.
Only smart one in the group
Here’s my review

This is from a fellow case addict and I trust his judgement. This is for the EAP Gen 3.

This is a spot on initial review. After a full day of use, I am already seeing a little sagging around the power button cutout. Seems like this is a weak point when taking the case off and on.
Instead of hyping up this case as the next best thing, Filip should have priced it around $12 and advertised it a more affordable Rebel option. That would have been more realistic.
Already emailed Phone Rebel customer support. Hopefully he gets back to me soon.
I really hope Phone Rebel has enough happy customers to at least get a return on his investment.
I know it can be rough working with an over seas manufacturer. Having your initial design idea properly translated into the final production model can be a hair-pulling back and forth affair. Sometimes you have to compromise your standards just to get a product out to market in reasonable time.
Don’t make excuses for EAP. He hyped us up about a crappy product that he sold to us at a premium price. He deserves no sympathies. He already has our money. If he really cared, he would refund us back a portion of our money because this is a sub par product. But he won’t.
Initial impressions, Not that bad. The case fits real (crowbar) TIGHT, slim, feels pretty good in the hand and looks fantastic.
The buttons are real smushy and only held in via that glued on fabric which sucks pretty bad. My fabric looks like it's coming loose on the ends right out of the box I'll report back later with any updates.
I just threw it on the phone and took some quick pictures.
