Gen5. Well designed overall. But metal buttons have no felt on them so will eventually damage original buttons. One of my two cases has the aramid fibre lifting and the case adds a lot of extra weight. Probs return for a refund.
but they do have some sort of padding, like a thin film or tape. do you guys think it’ll scratch the iphone?

Never heard of those cases. Just looked them up. They are quite nice looking though.

I’m back with the Benks Armor Pro at the mo. It’s a bit ‘stealthier’ than the Enzo with its darker camera ring and buttons. The aramid is nicer to the touch too, kinda feels velvetier if that makes sense.

That said, I am looking for something with a bit of colour for a change. Maybe something rugged looking too.

This is my rotation and think I am good with this...

Silicone option is Cypress Apple case
Leather option is Nomad Modern Leather
Active option is Nomad Rugged
Thin case is Pitaka StarPeak
Clear case option is Spigen Mag Ultra Hybrid
Fitness case is Quadlock MAG

Also caseless in the house most of the time

Think I have a case for each situation lol

you guys ruin everything. i was loving my pr gen 5 until you had to point out that the buttons and name plate will scratch the phone. now i’m not so sure. i want a case with the same grip but protected buttons and ig microfiber full lining. i have the dbrand grip case, but the action button is way too sensitive. it presses in by me just lookin at it. maybe i’ll try the smartish gripmunk.

I wouldn't worry about it. The back of the Phone Rebel Gen 5 buttons/name plate is way overblown.

Already have the sheath in Gray, but think the synthesis looks better, so bought it once I realized they put it on the site. I’m done buying cases 🙄

I really think alot of us are on the quest for the perfect case and in reality it doesn’t exist. There is something you can point out about any case. You just have to find what works best for you and go from there. I feel sometimes we go round and round about the same issues.
Problem is my favorite case was the Apple Leather and there’s nothing I’ve found that matches it…

I‘m really happy with the Decoded leather case, did you already try that?
I will eventually. I’m waiting on the Lonli Classic to arrive and then I might give Decoded a shot. Although I’ve seen reports that the camera lens scratches very easily and some are reporting the gap at the bottom of the screen.

I think I am done for now too, unless something new and exciting comes around

Currently:
Pitaka Star Peak (mountains)
Nomad Rugged (blue)
Clay and Winter Blue Apple silicone
Taupe finewoven.
Caudabe Synthesis and Sheath (grey and blue respectively, both on order. Will likely keep 1)

It has some raised streaks, although I do think mine are more subtle than yours. Or your camera is better than my eyes (entirely possible lol)
Having seen numerous instagram posts and YouTube unboxing, I think I’m convinced that the over the horizon case all have these streaks. Will probably just keep it.

Love the case itself I’ve only used this case since I got it.

From my experience and understanding the Caudabe Sheath wins always. Great fit, responsive buttons, lay on the table design and a great feel in the hand. How can anyone fault it? Got my “with action button “ replacement today. Also great customer service. Top top company. My go to case.
