The 600D Pitaka Pro 4 has arrived. Don't think there's a single photo of it anywhere so I thought I'd post it here. Looks cool - nicer than the 1500D Pro 4 imo - but it doesn't feel substantially different.

Thanks. Been waiting on this one. Does the texture/grip feel any different on the 600d than the 1500? Does it feel lighter/thinner? Are the edges as sharp and uncomfortable as the 1500d? Also, are the inside of the buttons still metal?

Thanks. Been waiting on this one. Do you still have the 1500d? Would love to see a side by side. Is the texture of the case any different? Does it feel lighter or thinner than the 1500d?
I’ve had both 600D and 1500D. 600D is a finer weave and feels softer. I am not sure if it is lighter, but it feels lighter.

With it being softer, does it make the case more comfortable? I find the 1500d to be somewhat sharp and boxey and wonder if the finer weave on the 600d makes it more bearable.

Yes. The edges are chamfered, which makes it very comfy to hold.

It feels very similar to the 1500D; maybe a little lighter but honestly not significant enough to recommend one over the other.

Nice, can you give some pics of the inside? Do the buttons have a covering on the back?

Not sure id take that as definitive though, he likes to throw them around in his videos. The teardown skin with the ghost in his video looks pretty dope
I was about to say… he’s thrown the phone in the ghost case. He literally chucks it multiple times just in clip after lol He’s had the case in the last few videos. I’m not too worried about it dbrand replaces grip Cases like candy

dbrand made a statement on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/dbrand/comments/16uhhxu

Wow, testing out the carbon fiber Mous Limitless 5 more today, and the edges are extremely sharp. Uncomfortable to hold during longer phone calls. Even the edge that rests against your ear during calls is sharp.

Surprised no one at Mous suggested to round the edges more. Don’t think I can deal with this.

Do Phone Rebels usually have sharp edges as well?

Are there any aramid fiber cases that don’t show smudges? The Mous I have had on for a few hours already looks like it’s a year old until I wipe it down ha.

I imagine that Spigen Enzo would be the same?

They all do smudges but honestly I don’t get too caught up with it because it comes with territory with aramid fiber. I mean it’s a case and it’s hard to protect the case. Sounds like we need to start having cases for cases lol.

I get what you’re saying.

I guess I got spoiled by my old OB Defender Pro which looked great for a whole year! Year 2 it started to show some smudging on the back.

Anxious to hear your Phone Rebel Gen 5 review, Tee. I believe you said last year’s somehow magically didn’t show smudges as much as other brands.
