Is Caudabe very busy these days? They are simply not replying to my emails even after several days.
It seems to be their new customer service model….no customer service.
Interesting since they claim to offer speedy customer service.
They do state that they are quite busy but usually respond within 24 hours. But this is wayyy past that. Oh well. You might be right 😀
Maaannnn. I’m so torn.
Caudabe Synthesis - I mean I like it. The grips on the side are nice. But the back and the parts without the grip seem slick to me. I wanted to like it and for it to be the one, but I think between this and the Sheath…. I might actually lean to the Sheath.
Phone Rebel Gen 4 - Man. The quality is nice. The phone is comfortable to hold. Despite what others said, to me the back has a nice texture and the sides seem a little slick. If this is grippier than before, then I guess that explains why I didn’t keep it before when I tried it. Was hoping for a difference there.
Phone Rebel Flex - Now this one was a surprise. I wasn’t even planning on ordering this one but did it on a whim. The back feels the same as the Rebel Gen 4. The sides and top seem to have a bit of texture to them that the Rebel doesn’t have. Then the sides of the naked phone don’t seem slick to me, although I feel like they did when I had the 12 PM. So this one feels like with it I have the best handle on the phone out of the three.
Magnet strength is the same on all of them - pretty strong. No complaints there.
I think I’m keeping the Flex! I’m gonna run with it for a day or two and see how I feel.
For other Phone Rebel people - have you put on the screen protector?

@TechnicallyTee When do you think you’ll do one for the Flex? I saw the box there in your video! 🙃👀It's up
Nah, binned it, hard to install without a frame or something like spigen ez thing.
Bought the Nomad Horween leather wallet case for my iPhone 14 Pro Max and very impressed.
I’d like to get the leather case as well although the Horween leather is significantly more expensive than the Modern variant.
Don’t mind paying the extra if it’s worth it, anyone have any experience of both?
Thanks.

video dropping
flex review hopefully will be up Monday.
I’ll let you know by the end of today. Running with the Flex today.
Yea I’m not sure how to install the thing. Was thinking of getting a Spigen or whatever I had on my 12 PM.
Keep us posted on the Flex. I like the Rebel so far. I will try to run it today. It is my work phone which I generally try to stay away from on the weekends if I can lol. I do not think the back is slick as others have said. It does not seem to be as much of a fingerprint magnet as Gen 3 from what I can tell so far.
I am also gonna wait for @TechnicallyTee video to drop on the Flex. I had last years Flex and did not care of for it. As for the screen protector no I did not install it as I already have one of my own.
They got back to me after a couple of days regarding my "gray" question. No plans in the works for either case in that color...
The latest addition to the Phone Rebel collection finally showed up!
Ryan London. What’s in box 2 is a mystery since I only ordered one.
Getting some serious 2001 vibes. I’ve been waiting for this look since the iPhone 5s days.

That is sweet, how is the MagSafe strength?
Really good actually. Attached and stayed put when I went out in the 4Runner this morning. May even be stronger than Apple’s.
