With your other cases besides the Sheath, MagSafe leaves permanent wear rings and / or indents?
Not indents, but some of them eventually end up with MS wear marks (I’m sure you’ve experienced this?). Ironically, before this year, one of the things I liked the most about the Sheath was the fact that it didn’t show MS wear marks for a long time, if ever.
Black looks good. Would have been nice if they did the camera and bumper surround in silver instead of black. That would have swung me over from the brown case
Nice! Been eyeballing the phone rebel frosted, is it not super grippy?Ok ladies and gents, I give you my end of year top 5. Over 450 pages of quality conversation, different opinions, and the occasional sarcasm has been a joy and pleasure.
I have to first give an honorable mention to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. For only $20 this case is simply amazing. The fit, grip, weight, and proper cutouts you can't beat it. I rotate cases so often than I don't see this case even yellowing for me. For the price, ehhh, I'll just buy another if so.
Coming in at #5 - Apple Silicone case (I have Cypress and Winter Blue)
Man this case has been a treat to use. Like the Spigen, the fit, grip, and weight always draws me back to this case. I just love how lightweight this case feels. Not sure if Apple spent more time on this case, but seems wayyy better than previous years. Even in the link department lol ...This is def going to be one of my pool/summertime cases down here in Florida where I live.
Coming in at #4 - Caudabe Synthesis
This has been my go to rugged case. Not marketed as such, but for me, I feel this case is built like a tank. Super tight fit, nice amount of weight, and the MagSafe strength has been phenomenal. The grip pattern is very well too. A very impressive case. With all the discount codes out there, it's a must add to the collection.
Coming in at #3 - We got a toss up between Bullstrap and the Andar leather case
I had a really hard time choosing one as both check off soooo many boxes. Both have superior leather quality. Both are thin enough and has a very lightweight feeling. Both have some decent MagSafe strength for a leather case. One day I enjoy the Bullstrap with the open bottom, but then some days I am loving the Andar. Sadly my Andar does creak in the bottom corner, so hopefully a replacement will do the trick. Which ever you choose, I think you'll be satisfied.
Coming in at #2 - Nomad Sport Case
This is where it might get controversial lol...however for me this case has literally checked every box for my needs. Lightweight, great fitting case, a MagSafe monster, and the glossy back provides some outstanding grip. Zero issues with the glossy back as this case has been used and abused a lot the last few months. Sure you'll get some smudges, but a simple wipe and boom, looks brand new again. I just need an Ultra Orange color.
Coming in at #1 - Frosty and Aramid Phone Rebel cases
Ok we all know I am a huge frosty fan lol, but honestly the aramid has gotten a lot of usage right along side of frosty. The aramid has a much better grip than the frosty, but I easily prefer the look of frosty. The fact I can change around some components to make the case feel completely different, makes this case(s) take my top spot. It does check all the boxes for me too. I look forward to receiving the natty buttons next week.
I hope you all have a wonderful and healthy New Year!
After reading some reviews I’ve decided to go for the TORRAS. After getting a MagSafe charger at Xmas and my JeTech not having any magnets I need some additional support on my stand.
Hey friend, no its got some decent grip with the grip pattern sides. The aramid is a touch better as it doesn't have that frost feel. Some think it's too slippery so you'd have to try for yourself.
Had to thin the herd and the black silicone didn't make the cut
Zero issues with the back off the phone. The screws are sunken low enough it does not affect the camera lens glass
Oh ok good. Know. Just thought that removeable piece on the aramid case on the bottom of the case would touch the phone. Also good to know about the lens camera. I am having hard time choosing between the frost and aramid versions.
Mine are in route...I'll share the look on frosty and aramid so you all can judge what looks best
My bad, I read your post wrong. Checking the phone I see zero scruffs or scrapes on the natty back
Ok cool. still a hard decision and i dont want to buy both lol. Don’t want to over do it with cases.
Well I think frosty looks best on the natty phone. Frosted backs look best on white and natty from what I have seen in person. Think that's always been the case with a frosted back case.
I prefer frosty, but def needs the matte black camera ring to match the case better
Yeah trying to decide which one would look better with the natty iphone. Oh you bought the camera ring separate? I see on their site they have natural titanium buttons as well i guess that is different from what it is shipped with.
Thanks! will purchase from amazon in case I need to return it. That nomad sport case is nice too #shutupandtakemymoney
lol that is what I am going to do as well. Are you going for the frosted or the aramid version?
The frosted for sure. I have the blue 15 pro and want a frosted case. Wish Spigen had a blue frosted version.
Oh ok i have the natural titanium 15 pro max and like the look of the frosted as well.
What are you going to use the natural titanium component kit on? Rebel or Frosty?
They knew exactly what they were doing by not giving matte black off the bat. They’re banking off these a la carte button and camera rings kits.
