I got the Torras one. Feels nice. Just a bunch of fingerprints on the back.
Hey, what works for other people doesn’t have to work for everyone! Glad you found some that you enjoy! That’s half the battle!
I skimmed it, I didn’t buy one, but if I did I would be super annoyed that they’re trying to be all cute explaining what plastic is, and that it is softer than coins, no kidding Captain Obvious! I didn’t realize that a brand new case ships with coins rolling around inside of the packaging!
On another annoying subject, is Phone Rebel ever going to release those camera rings/buttons? Or is my Gen 5 going to just live in the drawer forever.
The Torras shock case is pretty awesome. I have it on my NT 15 Pro
Phone Rebel Gen 5 for me 😉Who wears the orange buttons better, Otterbox Symmetry or Nomad Rugged?

I’m not upset that the case WILL scratch.
If it had been pristine out the box and been scratched up after a few days use then fine.
But this case cost me £50, and arrived looking like it had been dragged behind a car a few miles before being sent to me. That’s what upset me. That’s pretty unacceptable to me.
It’s a shame, they should have been stock with black buttons and camera ring like always. Just my 2 cents 🤣Hopefully by the end of the year. My Gen 5 collecting dust also
Because it for $50 bucks we want to be doing the scratching around here! Not them! lol
That is the best use for that case.Hopefully by the end of the year. My Gen 5 collecting dust also
My friend just said that.

Just got my Ghost case. Came with some scratches out the box after peeling off the film and a couple more after putting the iPhone in the case (can see some on the top right part in the picture below)
Coming from a Caudabe Synthesis, I can say that it feels a lot better in hand due to it being thinner. The buttons are way better but the MagSafe strength is a little weaker.
Outside of the QC issues, I will be using it as my primary case for now and see how it holds up from wear and tear. I think it looks great with the blue color on my 15 Pro Max. I know dbrand is also working on a resolution for those that email them in regards to the scratches out the box so I trust them to make it right.

It does look nice. I wouldn’t mind trying one at all. Just wish they sold them on Amazon for easy return! lol but I’ll see how the QC issues shake out and order one once they iron it out.
Anyone have the Otterbox Lumen? It’s on a 4-6 week delivery time at Apple here in Sydney, Australia. I want to get a nice clear case with Magsafe, I did order the Ghost case but cancelled after reading about some of the issues and like others don’t want to deal with overseas returns processes.
I think a couple of us have it. The grey version is gorgeous with the natural ti phone. Having a clear case with a color matched MagSafe ring looks to much better than white. Color matched sides should also limit long term yellowing to some extent too.
How do you find the grip and backside? I have a white 15Pro so deciding between blue or grey.
Finally got my 15 max.
Have to say it the Apple FW case hits it out of the park, great fit and feel, buttons good and it’s super light with good MagSafe. Never liked their leather cases as they got sticky and didn’t suit our humidity here.
Was a freebie but still probs worth $79Aud but $99 not sure lol.
The phone and case is 15 grams lighter than my 14 pro not max and the mouse or sheath case.

Tee ok there’s problems with the Ghost coming scratched out of the box.
However there are a lot of reports that the Ghost is getting scratched when installing. In other words as a result of installing your iPhone, the case is getting scratched. The installation is causing the case to get scratched.
Since you review a lot of cases, what’s your take on this? I find it impossible that the installation process is causing scratches. Is it possible that the installation process can cause scratches?

Appreciate the feedback thanks. Your comments on the clicky buttons have swayed me to order, I've recently realised this is something that bugs me.
Your comment about the shape intrigues me too, it was actually something I thought was a good aspect to it - I noticed it in the pictures and though it would be good as it would lay flat on a table. Decided I'll have to try it to find out.
Caudabe users - am I alone in still thinking the buttons just aren't great?
I have the Sheath and Synthesis, power button on both is fine, volume buttons on both are OK at best, but the action button cover is bad on the Sheath and downright awful on the Synthesis. It's not a one-off either - I complained about them to Caudabe, so they've sent me replacements for both, they arrived yesterday and are just as bad.
A user on here suggested the buttons can be 'stretched' a little by taking the phone out and pushing them further than they should. I've tried this and it makes the Sheath action button what I'd call 'the low end of acceptable', but the Synthesis is still terrible - I literally can't feel if the button is being pressed at all, I only know by looking on-screen to see if anything happens. After having it on 2 Synthesis's I think I give up.
I'm desperate for one of these to be my daily case (probably the Sheath at this point as I give up on the Synthesis), but I'm running out of patience 🤦🏻♂️
