Gripzilla in today and I kind of like this case. Just worried that the sticky/gummy feeling rubber of the inside back will mess up the finish of my phone. Gripzilla users, any problems with this case leaving marks or imprints to the finish on the back of your phone after prolonged use?

I have the same case on order.
How about a very light coat of silicone spray wiped (not sprayed) on the inside of the case (or the outside of the phone) before installing it?

I don't like damage. It's ugly, and rarely represents anything positive. :(
To me, at the least it implies carelessness, something that could have and should have been prevented.
At the worst, it can disable a device, car, camera and make for an expensive and inconvenient repair.
I take pride in owning and using something for years knowing that I took the best care of it that I could.
A scratch on a phone is permanent, always there, staring one in the face.
I'm the same

I've serious OCD issues when it comes to stuff like that; either gadgets, or my cars etc...

My current 7 series needs the passenger side front & rear doors respraying and I'm waiting until after winter to get them done; most folk would leave it but I can't cope with it haha ?

I was the same way until recent years when I realized it just doesn't matter that much, at least for phones. I used to switch phones 2-3 times a year and tried to keep them in mint condition, but a small scratch doesn't affect resale value much. And I'm finding myself taking advantage of trade in promos more now anyway, in which case it doesn't matter at all. Selling on places like Swappa has become a hassle.

Now to decide Nomad or UAG. It will likely come down to whatever I can get a discount code for lol.

I suggest people have a browse on AliExpress. Save yourself a lot of money on cases you may not even use. Worth the risk when they're so cheap.

Wonder if Phone Rebel will have the Gen 3 Rebel case out before the iPhone 15 hits the market?
The PhoneRebel cases became available a week or so ago. Btw, you can search this thread for any info on specific cases, instead of asking questions every 5 minutes.

Sorry, but this thread’s turning into chatter with unnecessary double-posting & is filling up with so many questions that can be asked in DM…

I'd like to know myself. Always wanted one of his cases but the delay is killer. If I can get my hands on a Flex case for the 13 PM I may bite.

Yeah I would have gone with the darker brown again. Only cases I have right now are Sequoia and Midnight (I do like that one...super dark blue) Holding up ok I guess, I'm not really looking at to see if the dye is coming off...I'll notice it eventually. Itching to get a new case though.

I have this 12 PM Bullstrap just sitting here, maybe used for 1/2 day total before I gave into the 13 pro max. Ugh. I have to sell it.
What color on the bullstrap ??

The new colors have arrived!

Just tried both. I like each color. I will say compared to my first production run black Caudabe Sheath for my iPhone 13 Pro, these newer units are even better. The fit is even tighter, the buttons are even more responsive, and the texture is even better. I'm ordering a Black and Grey now, to replace the first production run units I have.

You must be in some foreign country because it's not available to us Americans.

I'm not buying the AliExpress version either ?

I’ve gone back to the Sheath. After all the cases I have bought. My next fav is Pitaka cases. The sheath isn’t perfect but it’s not far off.

Still got a Ghostek case to arrive and a gripmonk.
