Oh she's a looker for sure! Don't tempt me to get both because I probably will 😅

I don't know what it is, but I always find myself going back to the Apple silicone even though I can't stand the dust/lint it collects. I think it's the fact that it's a super thin/grippy case, that makes me look past the one negative thing about the case. I love my Cypress and Clay, although the Clay is pretty boring. Side note; Have you bought anything that's "Used - Like new" off Amazon? I can buy it new for $49 or I can get it used - like new for $37. It says it looks and functions as if it were new, it's just the packaging that shows minimal signs of wear, but even that makes me hesitant.
I've had really great success with Used - Like New from Amazon in the past. Usually its just a straight up return with nothing wrong. You can always return it if something isn't right with it.

I’ve had good experience buying Used Like New. Usually the box is a little messed up but the case is like new. I never buy Used Very Good.

Diddo, I order used like new all the time and never think twice, especially if it's a good savings. I think I've only ever received something that was obviously used once and just returned it no questions asked.

Thank you both.
 
Ghost this last week, will probably switch to the grip for a bit.

April? Oh no then I am out on that case lol...5 months later the next phone will be out. That's $10 a month for this case lol
Don’t wait.

We're currently working on a more scratch-resistant version of the Ghost Case, with an expected ship date of April. As a result, you will receive two Ghost Cases: one now, and a better version next year.

You won’t be disappointed!
 
Andar aspen tonight. Lovely quality leather. Buttons very responsive (perfect) but feel a bit sharp? Like the edges aren’t smooth. Still a great case though.

Still looking for a perfect clear case?

I tired that with a symmetry a few weeks ago, got sent a 11 pro max symmetry lol
 
That skin on the camera area of the Ghost is sick man.

Thanks! The teardown skin is pretty sweet. I think the skin on the actual phone looks better than on the case for whatever reason.

Did DBrand say when a revision is coming for this case? Think I read that somewhere. I had it on preorder awhile back with this skin and would like to add this to my collection once a revision drops.

April? Oh no then I am out on that case lol...5 months later the next phone will be out. That's $10 a month for this case lol

I guess that’s one way to look at it. In my opinion, you basically get the case they have now and can use it, and then get a free revised version when they come out. I think the ghost is still a good case as it is, even without that deal. Whether or not it is worth the asking price is definitely subjective.

I will say though that I would not be surprised if that April timeframe turns out to be a tad optimistic

Alright you case aficionados, Phone Rebel gen 5 or Mous Limitless aramid fibre for my iPhone 15? I can get either one for roughly $40 shipped. Preferences? Pros and cons of either? I would prefer lighter and less bulky if one fits the bill more than the other. Your expertise is appreciated.
 
Does anyone remember the “Midnight Blue” colour for the silicone cases they had all the way from iPhone 6s, through to 11 Pro? I reckon a pity they didn’t bring it back this year, would've been perfect for Blue Titanium

The Phone Rebel is heavier, shows more fingerprints, and is less protective along the edges of the screen. The Mous is more slick on the sides and the back edges are sharper and less comfortable on the hand. They both have a very tight fit (good) and are stiff along the edges above the buttons and port. The Mous buttons are plastic, the Phone Rebel are metal, both are highly tactile and feel equally good. The Phone Rebel port opening is small and doesn’t fit many USB cables, the Mous opening is larger. The Phone Rebel is customizable (camera lens and buttons), the Mous is not. It’s sort of a toss up depending upon your preferences and priorities. My preference is for the Mous (just barely).
