Did you change any of the components on your cases? How is the back piece against the phone any scuffs or marks?
I haven’t changed any components. I actually prefer the stock color. I would’ve considered gloss black, but I’m not interested in a matte black finish on metal components.

No scuffs yet. I was initially concerned about that, but the metal parts are clearly not going to touch the glass. The harder surfaces that do touch appear to be poly with a TPU coating, so those shouldn’t be a problem. Also, this case is so tight it doesn’t move at all, so it seems less likely to cause scuffs that you might get with a looser case that moves around. That’s my $.02. :)

Does the frosted case yellow over time or scratch? I have the White Titanium iPhone so scratches will be more visible I think!
Nope, but the in interior of mine does show some finish defects after taking the case on and off a few times. They have a lighter frosted coating on the inside also which IMO was a mistake. The back holds up well and does not scratch that easy.

I don't keep any cases long enough for them to yellow so I can't answer that question.

My top 5 are the following:
1. Pitaka MagEz 5
2. Benks armor air
3. PR Gen 5 (can wait for the nat titanium set to arrive)
4. Benks armor pro
5. Synthesis

I’m doing my best to stop buying more 🤣. Did grab the Moft wallet stand though and the MagSafe strength is amazing. Very happy with it so far.

I am concerned about the yellowing as well for the frosted as I have seen other clear type cases yellow. Did they ever say if they were going to replace your case because of the finish defect?

Thanks

I will order it and hope I will like it! The cost of shipping to the UK is an actual joke as it is very expensive but I just hope the case is worth the extra shipping costs!

yeah shipping to Canada is ridiculous as well. I looked at components with a discount code and the shipping is more than the components price On sale.

Yep, it is ridiculous..
I know from the US to the UK is quiet a journey, but if you want the case in a couple of days you have to pay £37 for shipping by DHL😲

The Sheath costs less than £37!

Yeah it cost $21 to ship to Canada lol and if you have to return the case you have to pay the return as well. I am looking for it on Amazon that would be easier to return.

oh really. I didn't even know you have to pay for the return. I will sell it if I don't like it.
 
Frosted! Ordered it just now, I hope I like it but knowing me, I probably won't!
Nice, I have mine ordered through Amazon, will be here tomorrow. I hope I’ll like it too, but people said it’s hard to take off which will be a con for me. I shall wait and see!

How long did you have to wait for the order through Amazon? I see now even with prime that it will deliver January 16th-February 1st.
 
That is shipping from Phone Rebel and not Amazon. Wait until Amazon has them in stock again before ordering.
Ok thanks. Yeah I will wait. I see they have the Aramid version available for prime shipping but not the frosted version.
 
I hope the frosted version comes back in stock soon on Amazon because I rather not buy it through the company site since shipping is so expensive.
