So I know the Limitless case has the loose buttons but has anyone else just ignored it because the rest of the case is solid? I’ve been using the limitless 5.0 over the weekend and I’m fine with it. Been bouncing around to so many cases and I can’t find what I want to use as my daily lol.

Are you still liking the Sheath more than the Synthesis? Watching your reviews on both I feel like the Synthesis is the one to get this go around. I also have high hopes for the new Phone Rebel.

Man it’s honestly tough deciding between those two. I feel you get a better quality case when it comes to the Sheath but I like the way the Synthesis feels in hand, so it’s tough for me BUT the phone rebel is what I’m waiting for. Those improvements look solid and hopefully I’ll have them in hand this upcoming week. That review is coming out asap.

Given that the first batch of Phone Rebel cases are coming out this week, I’ll try that first and if it’s not working well for me I’ll return it and try the Caudabe. I prefer minimalist but I also have a young child so I have to have some protection from unexpected grabs and throws, ha.

Mine does not have loose buttons, it’s an extremely solid case. Two things would make this case my hands down for every new iPhone… remove the lanyard holes — seriously, who uses those? And two figure a way to lessen the weight, makes my phone feel like a brick. Other than that truly the case is pretty much perfect.

I agree with you completely with lanyard holes, it is pointless to have and is just a hole for dust/lint to get in.
I haven't seen a single person with a lanyard on their phone case.

Tried Apple leather case. Felt like it barely grips the phone. Comes off easily. Rubbish!

No idea. The buttons aren't even on the site. They say Oct 7th at the top of the page for the Gen 4 cases but this is Phone rebel we are talking about here and we will be lucky to see that case by Dec 7th of 2023 ;)

I know right. I hope I can get one sooner vs. later but we shall see.

In the meantime, I am looking for something with good grip, but not as big as the Otterbox Defender. Love the case but for every day carry for me personally it is a bit much. Was going to grab a Symmetry but from what I am seeing the grip is not a s good.

Any recommendations throw them my way. Thanks.
