I absolutely hate the fingerprint/grease/smudge pit that the Aramid fiber brings with it. This is the main reason my Mous case gets no use. I've been using this case for a few hours now and the back looks like I rubbed it down with a couple pieces of greasy KFC chicken :(

man that looks really tidy. I'm hoping the clear back of the clarity won't show much of this.

Thinking about the Mous Bamboo case next ;)

nice. was actually considering walnut or speckled black leather but seems that the clarity has the very least width. for me the width of the sheath is perfect and would like to get an alternate case close to in terms of thinness. after this I'll dispose my cases?

How do you feel about leather? Now that I’ve given my Aspen from Andar some time to break in, it’s almost creepy how much it feels like touching live skin. Really nice case with a very slim profile (and classic open bottom design). Smells great too.

I guess it’s not coming tonight unless the mail is going to come late af. I guess tomorrow then. Our mail system is so jacked up and it may come in the am, it’s like the post office just delivers when it wants to.
I’ve noticed the same in our area. I used to come home and go straight to the mailbox and it was there without fail. Nowadays I see him pull up an hour or two after I’ve been home and the last couple of cases I’ve ordered have come a day late.

Shame because USPS used to be rock solid, always dependable. I’d still choose them over FedEx or UPS any day.

sorry haven't tried any of mous' leather case. only once from nomad on a pixel 4xl.

i might pull the trigger on the clarity after the review of gen 3. im also interested on the gen 3 frosted back as well lol.

After using the Rebel for several hours today I can confirm that it's a pretty decent case after all. So decent that I'm thinking about ordering the frosted model. The Aramid Fiber is a grease magnet but this is just the nature of the beast. Not a problem from Phone Rebel. I would like to buy the black Rebel with that bright RED Kevlar backing. That's HOTT ! Two Ambien in while trying to type this.

I think mine may arrive tomorrow, not sure. Status went from delivery today to nothing. But tracking history shows it's about an hour or so away from my house. We shall see.

I am sending mine back after talking with Phone Rebel CS. It's supposed to be the exact same magnets from the Gen 2, but mine is weaker than the Pitaka and my Gen 2. They are going to ship me a new one today.

I really like the case. I like how it feels in my hand when I pick it up. Even the buttons feel good when hitting them - like you know they are there. Hopefully, this is a one-off.
