Been using the orange leather and already have a skid mark on the back and it's never been outside of the house.
Love that bright orange but might return it for $64. before it's too late.
Love the orange leather too (even though I didn’t grab one because of the dirt/wear concerns). Hoping the Nomad Rugged in orange will scratch the itch when it finally ships and arrives next month.

Yesterday I buy Otterbox symetry+ case. Case is snug and magnets are strong but warning- all corners and sides come dirty after 1 day of use and cannot be cleaned. I do not know what kind of rubber they use, but soaps and even kitchen cleaner do not work. I do not put phone even in any pocket yet. Really dissapointing!

yep my green one is the same after a week of daily usage all around the edge, straight back to amazon, it goes.
my trusty $9 aliexpress case beats the apple silicon and the otterbox symetry+ hands down

Waiting on the Phone Rebel clear case to become available then will probably return the one I have now if it doesn’t take much longer. Has anyone used their clear case?

Think you can get exactly similar cases on Amazon right now. I know ESR does similar cases.

Upgraded from my UAG Kevlar case to a UAG Monarch Pro carbon fibre. Love it
I have this case and it is wonderful. I just wish the sides didn’t have that much give, and I wish they would have used stronger magnets, because it is a beefy case.

Next case order? UAG Pathfinder in Dark Earth or the Caudabe Synthesis in Black?

What ya think?

I have a grey Pathfinder, black one on the way. I love it. Nice to hold and not too bulky. Looks good and the MagSafe is great.
Order where you can return for piece of mind if you aren't sure.

Don't have a Synthesis to compare but read here that it's good but I chose the Pathfinder and am very happy with it.

Holding the synthesis in your hand you know it’s not going to fly out by accident just by the small grip dots on the sides. If it does drop or hit something i know it will protect my phone all while still being minimal. Out of all my current 14p cases it’s my most rugged case and I don’t plan on getting another one.

It’ll be in my “in-betweeny” case. I’m assuming the Nomad Rugged *should* be more protective?

I worry about the Phone Rebel ultra-orange buttons scratching my phones actual buttons. They feel pretty sharp on the backside and I'm not sure if there is any coating on the backs or not.

Anyone know if there is a coating on the back of the ultra-orange Phone Rebel buttons?

****After closer inspection there is some kind of coating on the back of the buttons****
