After doing further inspection there is something on the back of the orange buttons. They do feel very sharp along the edges and feel like there is nothing on them. The black buttons have like a clear piece of tape on the backs while the other colors have some kind of matching tape on the backs. I still don't trust these buttons not to scratch the actual buttons of the phone.
Here is a picture I took showing the backs of the buttons.
I keep going back to my synthesis after trying a good chunk of cases thus far .
Feels really good in hand but I have noticed some light scratching on the back just from daily usage I guess.
Depends on how many cards you want to hold. The max you can stick in it is 3 cards. So if you have more than it, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I have the pop socket wallet and no complaints, have around 4 or 5 cards in it as well.
Magnetic strength on the Apple Wallet is pretty good, but I felt the pop socket one had a stronger hold.
Part of me wants to try the rebel- not sure if there is comparable grip to my Synthesis.
I do not have the Synthesis but likely not based upon what you and others have posted in this thread. By the way, how is MagSafe with this case?
Good to know. Three would be fine for me, but having a few extra might be nice. Definitely worried about grip as I don't want this thing to just slide off easily. Thanks man.
Grip on synthesis compared to rebel is much better. On the sides especially. It’s a good case with an ugly camera bump. MagSafe is strong as well.
Not at all, the Synthesis has way better grip than the Rebel case.
Need to change that yellow ocean band on my watch ultra ASAP.
Nomad only has Dune, Ash Green or Marine Blue in stock.
Out of these three colors which do y'all like the best color?

The black one is never in stock. That's the Ash Green in the picture. I was leaning towards the Dune but don't know.
Yea, black ships by Nov 30th so maybe I'll just order that and wait.
I'm also waiting on the ultra orange case and band.
Crap, I hate waiting for anything.
Synthesis is plenty strong. I use MagSafe in the car without issue
I don’t but do use a pop socket wallet occasionally No movement at all.
Yeah I have been reading that the Apple wallet is not as strong as others. Not really into pop sockets so would rather not get one.
I guess I will save my money towards another case lol. Thanks.
Yeah, I haven't been able to find a MagSafe wallet that can hold multiple cards (more than 3) and wasn't priced $50+ :| let us know if you do find one.
I didn’t want to pay $100 for 2 more silicon cases from Apple, so I ordered a Chalk Pink and Product Red silicon case from AliExpress for $37.52. I ordered them on 10/22 and they arrived today, so it took a little over a week to arrive. They look and feel very much similar to the Apple silicon cases. They just don’t have the MagSafe animation when you insert the phone into the case. They even work with the belkin wireless charger with MagSafe that I have. They came with 2 glass screen protectors and 2 lens protectors if anyone was interested.

Oh okay that’s good to know. I probably won’t buy it since that’s too late in the game to order it and since I will be upgrading again next year.
