My Phone is white. I always go white. But for the first time ever I was kinda regretting not getting natural Ti
You getting a piece of the action 😉Soooo, did I hype frosty too much in this thread? lol

It’s definitely a nice case. It’ll spend a few days on my phone before I inevitably reach for a leather. Then I have until the 31st to see if it’s a case that I’ll pick up and use more often than not. I really like the smooth swipability from the lowered edges, yet still having plenty screen protection from the corners. The buttons are great. Looks fantastic even with stock. Waiting on your photos with Nat Ti kit, that’ll have a big influence too.Soooo, did I hype frosty too much in this thread? lol

lol you’re still getting cases. All these people getting the frosty case and ist sold out here in Canada for Amazon lolYea, it'll stay in your rotation I'm sure. I have a few Crystal PRs coming in soon too.
For a minute, I thought, I love the look and I could achieve a very similar look with the $20 Spigen black frosted.. but really this PR does offer much more with the lower edges, protection, and customizable buttons & camera ring. The textured sides are a little bonus, but I would agree with @macher’s grip assessment. I don’t find them super grippy, which is fine as it wasn’t a selling factor for me.Yea, it'll stay in your rotation I'm sure. I have a few Crystal PRs coming in soon too.
Yea a shame such a Great case. Part of the experience for me is grip which is how a case will feel in my hand.For a minute, I thought, I love the look and I could achieve a very similar look with the $20 Spigen black frosted.. but really this PR does offer much more with the lower edges, protection, and customizable buttons & camera ring.

How's the grip and does it feel bulky? I can't decide between this and the aramidWoo! Got mine! Phone Rebel Gen 5 Frosted with stock components on Natural Titanium.

If you want better grip get the aramid. The side material is slightly different. The frost is definitely more slipperyHow's the grip and does it feel bulky? I can't decide between this and the aramid
It doesn’t feel bulky to me. The closest case I have to compare the width is my Bullstrap. Def not as wide as my Symmetry was. The grip on my frosted is so-so. It’s a nice texture but I wouldn’t say it’s real grippy. Def not grippy like the Synthesis. And the back is a little slick. If grip is a big factor for you, I’d say try the Aramid instead.How's the grip and does it feel bulky? I can't decide between this and the aramid

rebel is out of the question here, over $100AUD with shippingI had the symmetry, I liked it a lot but it was just a tad too wide for me. So I have the Phone Rebel Frosted as my “rugged” case since it offers really good drop protection.
I just swapped from nat tit to blue tit, nat sides are good but back is very bland imoMy Phone is white. I always go white. But for the first time ever I was kinda regretting not getting natural Ti
I felt the same way about the Symmetry. Loved its light weight, color, & protection but it was also too wide for me. Now I have the PR frosted & this will likely serve as my protective case now.I had the symmetry, I liked it a lot but it was just a tad too wide for me.

It’s a tiny bit heavier than the Sheath. Definitely not as light as your Apple Silicone. I don’t have a scale, but from video reviews for 15 Pro Max: PR Frosted is 51g and Apple Silicone is 33g. I thought the weight would bother me, but it really doesn’t.How heavy is the rebel for the 15 pro? Does it add weight to the phone?
Is that USB-C ? What model is this?I picked up an Anker non-MagSafe Qi wireless charger, which seems to work fine. Since I don’t use MagSafe otherwise, I’m hoping this type of charger eliminates the wear rings and/or indents on the back of my cases.

It’s micro-USB to USB-A. Comes with the cable but not the charger.Is that USB-C ? What model is this?
I have an old TYLT charger somewhere that I'm going to try and dig out.
Yep! Grip is up there with aramid version if not, maybe even a tad betterIs the grip better on the crystal over frosty? I have one in route

Yeah, it’s slow. I only charge overnight so it’s not an issue for me.I have an old TYLT charger somewhere that I'm going to try and dig out.
Does this charge super slow?
