So my replacement Sheath and Synthesis (action button version) arrived today and they decided to ship out the action button cutout version!

I am so disappointed as I was totally looking forward to the revised versions. I’m sure they will make it right but now to wait for a response and wait for the shipment again…

In other news though I only had the Synthesis so far and just got a Sheath and I have to say it is very nice this year and I love it!

I’ll be going back and forth between the two but for now this Sheath will be staying on my phone for a little while lol

So Rebel Gen 5 is available to order. I just browsed through all the pics and it doesn’t please me one bit. Feels like a Chinese knock off. Yes protection and functionality is great but what the hell.

Too much going on. Feels like if it was designed by some one at Samsung.

It's a tradition, must order every year :oops: Plus it will match my Enzo case with all that shiny aluminum trim ;)

I agree with you, too much going on for my liking. That design is 🤮 in my opinion.

I don’t mind the look, as long as I like everything else about it. Probably will show fingerprints since it’s an aramid fiber case.

What were some of the “knocks” against last year’s model? I believe I read some people saying quality - that it was falling apart in a few months.
