I wish more companies (and not just phone case manufacturers) would realize that “20% off” is not as much of a deal as they want people to think. Most items are 20% off on a random day throughout the year. Not much of a Black Friday deal 🙄

Keep up that attitude and you will only get 15% off, just kidding. I agree, I wouldn’t even get out of bed for 20% off.

Looks like phone rebels BF is pretty lack luster.

15% off Gen5/Flex15 (code BF15)
20% off everything else (code BF20)

Looks like they gave us the 15% on the Gen5 and Flex15! 😂

Anyone have the Phone Rebel Frosted and the Mous Limitless 5.0?

I’m curious if the Phone Rebel is thicker than the Mous. Thanks!

I’m really loving the Spigen Mag Armor with the slight curve sides that offers enough bite for grip. Sort of a Magpul vibe.

Anyone else running it?

First…Happy Thanksgiving everyone…I was wondering for those that have the button cover synthesis for a few weeks have the buttons become more responsive? Specifically the volume and action buttons.
Happy Thanksgiving!

On mine buttons haven’t changed but are responsive but slightly tactile. The action button could use some work. But overall loving the Synthesis.

Edit. Received the Spigen Mag Armor yesterday. What’s weird is it’s the same thickness as the Synthesis but feels thinner. I think because of the rounded edges. The grip is good for me. It’s flexible so different material, as you know the Synthesis is not very flexible. But the buttons on the Spigen Mag Armor are very tactile. For $20 well worth it. Actually someone told me the Mag armor looks thicker but definitely doesn’t feel thicker.

My only issue is so far that it’s ez to take off. Not sure if it’s because of the material used.

Spigen Magnetic Mag Armor MagFit Designed for iPhone 15 Pro Case, [Military-Grade Protection] Compatible with MagSafe (2023) - Matte Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5S6THJ5?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_5AT13B8HRZQT7X9P0034&language=en-US

If you watch the video on the Amazon page you can hear how tactile the buttons are. In person definitely the same.

This case is a sleeper IMO.

I have both. The Mous stands slightly thicker when both cases are face down.
I have the Mous but although it has grip sides not enough grip. The Phone Rebel looks to have the grip I’m looking for. How’s the grip on the PR vs the Mous? Thanks!

I had both (returned the PR). The PR is very grippy, similar to your Synthesis. It’s too grippy for me but you’ll probably like it since you like the Synthesis.

Edit: Talking about the Gen 5, not the Frosted. Sorry about that.
