just received the super blue nomad case for the 15PM. definitely love the color, buttons, and feel of the back. sides are a little bit slick for my hands, but grip is good. I also like that the lip is high enough on the front that my screen protector doesn't touch when the phone is face down. camera lip seems to be ~1mm above the camera lenses; not the best, but ill take it!
 
Just slapped on the new Sheath, MagSafe is much stronger and picks up my base, buttons are much more tactile (you can actually hear the click). Cases look exactly the same.
Any hint of the ring impression on the back? Do you notice any difference in the slits for the buttons to make them more tactile?

No ring on the back so far but that’s something I’m going to keep my eye on. As for the slits in the buttons, they are longer on the updated Sheath. Black Sheath is the updated version.

Like many here, I've also been a huge Caudabe buyer for many years. One thing that's bothered me more this year than I thought it would, aside from the button issues, is the price. They've obviously increased the price a bit (I'm aware that coupon codes generally exist for them, but still, the principle of it) over time. At this point, we are still looking at a basic TPU/Poly blend case (Sheath) with a liner and MagSafe for $40. When you make that jump to the $49 mark, cases improve in quality and features. I wish the Sheath was priced at $35 or even $30.

I've never used the Phone Rebel cases, but I have always been aware of them. I decided to try them out about a week ago after feeling indifferent about the Sheath for a bunch of weeks. This case is phenomenal. If anything, I'd make it slightly more minimal. But it's surprising that there's only a $10 difference.
Sheath is a $20AUD case, heck I have had my 14 pro sheath as new for sale for $20 for months not even a offer.
I paid $50 off ebay was cheaper than retail.
 
No way sheath could be No 1 case lol, kickbacks?

Even with the MagSafe ring I have in my gray one, it’s still my #1 case. It’s got the best in-hand feel, passes the pinkie test better than any other case, and I’ve been a fan for years. It’s not perfect, but it’s the closest I’ve come to my perfect case.

Anyone need a green Mous for the 15 Pro Max?

$55.00 Shipped with tracking payment via PayPal Friends/Family

I'll never use this case so might as well sell it.

Complete in factory packaging.
It looks black against that green background.

May I ask why you’re selling it?
 
I received the Otterbox Defender XT pro today. I really like the sturdiness of the case BUT I did think it was a bit cheap to not include the belt clip ( They did include a sheet with a free code but you still have to pay shipping and its $4.99 ) The defender clip have a great belt clip that allows video content viewing as the clip turns into a stand.

Is the Phone Rebel case that good? Seems everybody rates it
I might need to buy it and pay the £15 delivery cost to ship to the UK :eek:

Like every case I’ve ever tried, it’s not perfect, but it’s pretty close in my opinion. There are some downsides, but there is also a lot to like. It’s relatively heavy, the sides may be overly grippy for some, and the fit is so tight that it’s probably not for people who change their cases frequently. On the other hand, the flush front lip with the raised corners are brilliant, the buttons are very, very good, the level of available customizations is cool, the grip is extremely good (if it’s not too much for you), and the protection to thinness ratio is on par with the Mous, if not even better.
