The rebel has way more grip. The frosted is slimmer but way more slippery.

Going to be hard to get icing on the frosted, it's on the bottom of the stack o_O

Another thing too. Lots say the Mous limitless grip is good. I found it to be pretty slippery and was returned pretty quickly.
 
If you need grip get the ZILLA o_O

Originally purchased an Otterbox soft clear case. As with all soft cases, it yellowed. Exchanged it for Otterbox Defender Series Pro XT for MagSafe Hard Shell case-dark side. $69

Clear case with black rubber sides. Black MagSafe circle and plastic frame to keep the case together.

Yea but don’t you have to pay for return shipping?

Seems like for me it's hit or miss. This time I paid $5 but I dropped off the case at UPS and don't have to wait for Nomad to receive the case back. My new case is already in transit before they even receive the case back. That service doesn't bother me, but I can see some might not like it.

So, they did an exchange order? Meaning you didn’t have to place order for new case?

 
This is why I have been waiting to do my top 5...
Frosted Rebel with Orange buttons and Matte Black camera ring

First impressions...I am shocked that the weight doesn't bother me like the Synthesis does. Probably due to the machine mills buttons and quality compared to the plastic Synthesis. Grip seems just fine, see no issues with that. It's a MagSafe monster for the accessories I use. Surprisingly thin for the protection it provides. TIGHT fitting case. The only nit pick I can say is I wish the buttons were say a millimeter thicker so they stick out a touch more. Just a tad too flush to the sides of the case. I mean and that's seriously nit picking.

Nice! So, is this a hint that it will be in your top five? 😉

Wow from the looks it as slim like the others.

How’s the grip compared to the Synthesis?
 
My Mous order got accepted by the USPS from UPS on the 4th at my regional sort facility, and is also just sitting there. Even given the season, it usually shows signs of movement in that amount of time.
This UPS mail innovations shipping is the absolute worst POS shipping in the world. I would have never ordered from Mous if I had remembered this. My green case was handed over to USPS 4 days ago and it's just sitting at acceptance pending.

Bout time you finally received it ;) The gen 4 buttons stick out further but there is no matching action.

Think I'll break out my frosted in celebration of this moment :D

It's looking that way for sure...just need that damn Bullstrap to come in. This Maverick color has been a long wait lol

Honestly it feels the exact same to me. In fact I like the Rebel better due to the frosted back feel

I was lucky enough to get the last one listed as Amazon prime for 15 pro. Mine will be arriving Wednesday. Can’t wait.
