The phonerebel case looks great. Might have to buy one at some point. Are you going to rotate between the other silicone colours?Alright guys, these 3 cases are a lock for my top 5. Apple Silicone, Phone Rebel Frosty, and the Nomad Sport case. Not in any particular order just yet. A bunch of cases are fighting hard for the last 2 spots. Going to contact Bullstrap tomorrow and get an ETA on this Maverick (green) color case. It's been on backorder for a month I think. I am going to need a leather case in my top 5.
For my needs, they check all the boxes. Not bulky, great buttons, great grip, tight fitting, proper port cutouts, and MagSafe strong.

I’m surprised you like the frosty. Thought it would be too heavy for you. Did you give it enough time or was it like “oh yea”.
With all due respect everyone has a different take on what’s grippy and slippery. For instance lots have said the Mous Limitless was grippy but for me it was slippery. That’s why I returned it.
Oh yea the Cypress silicone is still going to get usage
I’m very surprised too. It was an instant oh yea feeling. The weight doesn’t bother me which I thought would. I think the back frosty feel makes it not that bad. Everything else about the case is truly top shelf.
Okay, hopefully the weight doesn’t end of up bothering you. I know it’s all relative, but 51g is pretty heavy for the case. It’s on my “wish” list for 15 Pro (also the Flex).
Glad to see the Nomad Sport made your top 5. I have super blue on the way…

This case is major slippery no matter how you look at it.
Agreed! The sides have some grip but with dry hands the back offers absolutely no grip whatsoever which is a shame
Frosty is so damn good man, and it's nothing to do with the honeymoon phase...another bonus with this case is slapping onto any MagSafe charger and not having to worry about MagSafe indentations and circles
I need to clean my camera lenses lol

For anyone interested about the Phone Rebel gen 5’s buttons not having a vinyl sticker on the bottom. This is what PR said.
No, the buttons do not have a vinyl sticker on the inside.
The buttons have been extensively tumbled for deburring, and then go through a rigorous multi-step PVD coating process.
In our testing the PC sticker degrades the click of the button, and is not needed because of our new PVD coating process.

Do you still use it/did it get used a lot? How’s it holding up? (Apple silicone)
I’m lowkey thinking about listing my black Sheath on eBay to sell before it inevitably gets a MagSafe indent :/
I am still using my winter blue silicone case. I havent had any issues with it since receiving it at the end of September. I recently got a Andar aspen leather case and only recently put it on.
I plan to stick with the aluminum buttons because they’re softer than the titanium buttons, which at least theoretically make them less likely to mar the phone.
Doesn’t the Nomad have symmetrical cutouts, or have they recently fixed that on the Sport?
Ah, OK. Much better, but was hoping they finally went all the way to fixing it.You are correct, but wayyyy better than the doo doo Modern Leather cutouts
I’ve got the rebel flex. It’s in the box waiting for me to return it. It’s not bad but the bulky corners on it just didn’t work for me. It’s also pretty heavy for a minimal case. For myself the Benks ArmorAir was a better minimal case. Though I’m sure I’m sacrificing some drop protection.
Yea looking at videos the flex looks goofy with the chopped off sides of the gen 5 Rebel or Frosty.
I don’t know if I would consider the flex a minimal case though and compare it the Benks Pro.
