Maybe MagSafe isn’t actually that great to begin with.
Yeah, I hear you. I’m mostly ambivalent about it, other than the fact that it makes a mess of many cases. The irony is that Apple has never made a case that is resistant to damage from their own MagSafe technology.

Yeah, MagSafe can make some unsightly marks on cases. Leather can be bad, FineWoven is worse in my experience. The alternatives seem to be either living with it, avoiding MagSafe by using alternative charging methods, using clear cases with an MS ring, or using cases that have a hard/textured back like the Symmetry, Rugged, Synthesis, et al.
I think I remember Nomad or BullStrap or someone making a leather magsafe cover/sticker to put on the surface of the charger. would that prevent the marks on the cases?

I haven’t seen that but it seems like it could work. I have heard about people simply laying a small piece of paper between the charger and the phone. There was one person who made a little slip cover from microfiber cloth that seemed to work well. You’ve got me thinking now… 🤔

I have just received the PR Frosted case and I must say I am really impressed. The fit is very tight and the buttons are really good. I don't see myself changing cases for a while.

For the many of you who have this case, how do you clean it? With just a damp cloth? I don't want to wear away the Frost and I have seen some posts on here complaining about the Frost coming off the case.

Random question, but what's the protocol with replacement Caudabe cases? I see people mentioned that they're releasing a revised Synthesis in mid-January. Do I need to send the one I have back, or will they just send me a new one?

I've never had to send Caudabe my old cases back for any issues, as they will send out a new one as a warranty replacement.

How about the cloths you get when you get a screen protector?

I just use a microfiber cloth and clean out the inside from time to time...never gets dirty to be honest.

So, yesterday after receiving mine I did inspect it and mine also has a bit of frost missing.. only really visible with the right lighting, but it’s a bit bothersome that it came this way, I don’t believe I caused this as I only removed the case one time and I was careful when putting it on
Same I have noticed this on mine as well after removing the case once just to clean the back of my phone.

Did you guys contact Phone Rebel about this? My case isn't even a day old and already frost is wearing off. I don't know if I should contact them about this or leave it?

I ordered mine through Amazon and have issued a replacement, I put that it was defective/used. Replacement comes tomorrow and fingers crossed I’ll have the luck that @thatappleguytoday has with the frosty.

@Hooterville contacted PR about it and I believe he said they’d replace it after receiving the defective one back.

Oh okay. I purchased mine from the Phone Rebel website!

I don't know if I can be bothered to send it all the way back to the US from the UK and wait for a replacement. I might contact them though and see what they say incase they send me a new one for free.

Did your customs in the UK charge you anything after delivery?

Got it, thanks. Nothing is really wrong with the one I got back in November. Buttons have broken in a bit but I do wish they were a tiny bit more clicky.
 
They are light.
The sides are curved hence.
They feel so nice in hand.
They fit like glove on your iPhone.
The buttons are clicky.
The back to me feel soft and luxurious.
I like the two tone colour combo of the case.
You still running the FW?
