Not really because the sides being a tad bit more grippy makes up for it but it’s something that you can for sure tell.
Got a tip for us?

The purple PopSocket one does more than the lime green symmetry. But it’s not terrible.
I do! I have one of the Nike watch faces with volt green too!
Got this one the other day from Velvet Caviar. It’s a little thicker than I expected but it’s really pretty! MagSafe is strong too.
How does it compare to the Synthesis for you? Did you get the Flex also?
On IG they claimed to cut back on the fiber texture to reduce fingerprints.
Is it still smudging the same as last years?
I got my gen 4 and flex in and for me the flex is really good but I never found even the bare iPhone slippery and to be the back isn't all that slippery either so to each there own

I still like the grip on the Synthesis a little better but the overall build quality is Rebel for sure.
Yeah the back still gets smudged up but it’s not as bad before. Kinda weird how it does reduce them a little.
Agree with all that you say. Very happy with my gen 4 and it’s my favourite case. The back is more slippery but less finger prints for sure and the sides have more grip to compensate. It’s the attention to details that puts the case above the rest. Much better than a mous case. Got the Benk coming soon.
Anyone in the UK selling Phone Rebel or only available direct? Going away in 5 days time so need something quick.
Anyone got the smartish grip monk?
Loved it on my 13 but not sure if it would add too much bulk on the 14 plus.

That steel blue looks like purple. I need!
Long time Caudabe user. Usually rock the sheath but this year the Synthesis is amazing, better than the sheath imo.
Feels the same on the 14 series as it did on the 13. Putting that video out next week probably.
Props to USPS. My Synthesis, Rebel, and Flex are all coming today. Let the analysis paralysis begin!
Looking forward to that review!
Any chance of a review upcoming for the 14 P/PM Caseology Parallax? It seems quite similar in overall design to the Caudabe Sheath except maybe a bit slimmer in the back and less rigid.
Phone Rebel ultra-orange buttons a pretty perfect match to the orange action button on the new watch ultra.
These are not my pictures, someone posted them on Reddit.

First impressions- I love it! First phonerebel case I’ve gotten, feel in the hand is great, pinky rest is great and besides not being a “compact” case it doesn’t feel much bigger than the Apple leather case.
-In my opinion the back has decent grip but the sides dont grip at all but that’s just me.
-I went ahead and got the ultra buttons as well as all the 13 color buttons. Was gonna do red for power and silver for volume but it looked cheap. The orange ultra buttons do look good tho. Might rock them for Halloween lol.
-What surprised me is the fit of the case and my imos sceeen protector, it’s PERFECT fitment all around. Any tighter and my screen protector would probably lift. I dig it.
-MagSafe is definitely strong. I love that my wallet takes actual effort to knock off on the bottom positioning magnet.

My PhoneRebel case got delivered about an hour ago. I am at work so won't be able to check it out until tonight.
Thanks for posting pictures. I have the silver as well and was curious how it would look.
I got sliver buttons also to match. But I won’t put those on until I know I’m keeping the case.
We went Tech21 EVO clear with MagSafe. Good luck and longevity with these cases for our 14 ProMaxLast year's thread for reference:

Fab! Always check your reviews before buying.
Will probably pick up a sheath too. Would have got the synthesis, but it's not available for the plus.
