Phone Rebel Gen 4 Frosted finally in this morning. I absolutely love this case. Everything about this case is perfect except the grip, it's quite slippery. I'm cooking it on the Magsafe now 
will report back later and let everyone know if it leaves any marks or scratches on the back. Some pics:

Yes, very slippery. Happy to report no fingerprints or Magsafe ring showing up on the back after a couple hours of use.
I have it for the 14 pro… it’s a very nice case IMO, if you don’t use MagSafe, which I don’t really. The magnets are weak and the camera bump is in the way on the 6.1 pro. But I love the look and feel of it, but I think I prefer the in hand feel of the pathfinder MagSafe. It’s lighter in the hand. I’ll attach pics of both. Not the best pics but I could always take more for you later if you would like other angles.

I bought the UAG Metropolis for my 14 Pro. Wireless charging works fine with an Anker charging pad.
Love the fresh out of the box feeling
For real, I wish cases could always stay this crispy…. Work beats on my cases, I would just use one beater case for work and use the others for play, but I feel like I’m at work 99% of my life lol
@Hooterville Speaking of Magsafe
Does this happen with your Rebel Gen 4 too? This is a day after charging it on my Belkin 3-in-1

Yes, every time on those aramid fiber cases. I use Huggies 99% pure water wipes and it will clean right off.
Are you able to clean the ring mark off with just a microfiber?
Thanks. It came off with just water and microfiber cloth. I guess its common with Aramid Fiber? My first time using a case with one. Really interested in the frosted version now though lol
Man that really stinks. Some dudes on Reddit said that the Crystal supposedly has grip. Who knows? That’s a real bummer because if it’s slippery in hand, I don’t think I will buy one.
got my phonerebel frosted in today. imo it is the best looking case i have seen or have for my 14pm. it is really tight fitting and slim. i thought the black part would be the same material as the aramid fiber gen 4 but its not. its a harder plastic. i really like the look of it. i agree, for me it is slippery, but i use a MagSafe grip so i don’t mind. if @Hooterville doesn't post any more sexy pics of another unknown case, this one may be on my phone for a while.
Is only the back which has no grip or the black sides as well?
Both, the whole thing is very slippery. My hands are super dry as I wash them like 10 times a day. The grip might be better with hands that are not so dry.
Nice, does Magsafe leave any marks on the back?
Mine should be in Monday or Tuesday.
Not yet, but i think it would. I had a couple of sport cases for the 13pro and they all got some light hairline scratches from putting it on a MagSafe charger. Definitely not noticeable and not a dealbreaker, but something to be mindful of.
It’s a really eye-catching case, though. I think you’ll like it.
Yup, I totally agree. Had them 1 month in their box because I was feeling pitty to open them.
I’m always back to Leather cases whichever case I bought. Their feeling, how they fit the phone, their weight and thickness can’t be compared with BS, Andar, CB etc.
Shame I didn't find this thread before, since I change cases regularly.
