and the power button is mediocre at best. Not responsive.
Is it possible the buttons’ fabric was misaligned when you attached the case? The flimsiness of those buttons are what I think are the cause of inconsistent reviews.

Lifeproof Fre with MagSafe… actually really loving this one. First fre since the iPhone 7. The dot matrix in these got rid of the rainbowing (for me) sound is better than it was for the older models, the turn dial (like catalyst) for the mute toggle is great, screen isn’t compromised by the dot matrix, and the camera bump is way better looking than the one on the 12 pro. Very happy with it thus far.

Just got my Phone Rebel Gen 3. What a great case despite button issues which aren’t to bad at all. Fit is perfect. And fairly grippy on the sides. Magnets are Pitaka strong! My only niggle is how loose it is around the buttons. Not a huge issue. Overall a decent case!

At least give us some pictures ? We love pictures

How big is the "Oil Slick" under the screen?

Anyone ordered a phone rebel case from the uk? If so, how long was the shipping and were there any customs fees?

Andar The Marshal came in today. Speedy quick - ordered on Thursday.

First impressions are the leather smells really nice. Fit and finish appear to be clean. Has a slightly raised lip (even with a screen protector installed) that will protect the screen when putting it facedown. The silver trim of the iPhone shows when looking at it head on but that doesn’t bother me. I was worried about the buttons but they appear to be nice and tactile.

Overall a quality product. I’m glad to have wireless charging back. I was debating between this and the Bullstrap but couldn’t bite the bullet on the higher price tag. Will probably pick it up if it goes on sale.

Looks great. I’m really happy with my Andar lately and you couldn’t be more right about the smell. I’m a case sniffer again.

Best luxury leather case w/ built in Mag-Safe I’m currently enjoying straight from Germany. Very pricy but the quality justifies:

Back to The sheath for me from the Gen 3! It’s a good case and well designed but the finger prints on the aramid fibre is bad. I’m used to Pitaka cases and it’s not such an issue on their cases.

I will sell on my Gen 3 (UK)

Totally understand the Aramid fiber fingerprint/grease/smudge problem :( this crap drives me insane.
I'm back in my UAG Metropolis Lt case, no fingerprints, strong magnets, I like it. ;)

I agree. Fingerprints and the buttons are a letdown on this case.
