My Rebel Clear Flex case shipped out today. It’s coming through USPS (who I work for and rolled my eyes that it’s the shipping company), so it’ll probably be delivered by Monday the 30th.
Did you use the free shipping?
Are they using the super slow UPS Slow Post shipping as their free shipping?
I should have just sprung the $10. for Priority.

Nice, I thought I had a set of the yellow around here somewhere but I can't find them :rolleyes:
Going to have to order a set and might also try the blue ones, never had that color.
I was struggling between the yellow and the blue. I may eventually buy the blue and pair it with the orange buttons, somehow. Orange and blue = Go Gators and stuff. 🤷‍♂️

usps is great here in california, at least for me. free shipping from phonerebel has always been 1st class mail. it arrives in 2 days. same as priority. my limited experience with phonerebel (3 cases and extra buttons) has been if you pay priority it ships same day or next day. free shipping ships on 2nd day. travel time for me has been identical either way.

Anyone have any feedback on the Nomad Sport case? I have never owned one… are they as slippery as they look? The back looks like it would be extremely slippery and scratch prone?

Never owned one but your estimation was the same as mine last night when this case was posted.

Frosted gen-4 in the building.

First impressions -

- noticeably more slippery than the rebel gen-4.

-feels lighter than the gen-4 rebel

-wish the MagSafe ring was white (non-problem)

-frosted back feels nice

-MagSafe is strong, can’t tell much of a difference if any at all between it and the rebel.

All in all, I love it! I always get an urge to jump back into the Apple leather case but this one might change my mind, if only the rebel wasn’t such a fingerprint magnet. Looking forward to picking up the crystal when it comes out, even if I’ll hate the fingerprints. this case looks and feels premium!

Edit - also have the orange ultra buttons, and new titanium buttons if anyone is interested in seeing pics with those

Are the sides slippery?

Anyone thinking about picking up the High Volta Nomad case? Apparently it’s limited edition, but they said that about their orange rugged case which ended up becoming a permanent product. Not putting too much stock in that claim lol
I want the watch band more than the case, but the shipping to Canada is always a bummer (FedEx brokerage fees). Probably would’ve grabbed the band if they had a preorder discount again like they did for the orange.

Hey, does your orange custom buttons rattle/ lose a little on your Catalyst influence? Mine is a bit rocking when my finger slides across all the buttons. Felt like I push it as far as I can but it still rattle.

Love the look of the orange buttons on this case.

I've never had one but it does look like a fingerprint/scratch magnet with that glossy back.

I will check later today when I'm back in the case and let you know.

Will take a look back, thanks.
Here's a couple with no phone in the case.
