Is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid frosted just “good for $20”? Or is it really a good all around case? In comparison to Phone Rebel’s frosted, price aside, which is the “better” frosty?

Would love to see a Frosted Case Battle video from @TechnicallyTee

Not sure yet. My Aspen actually just got delivered but I'm stuck at the office right now, that'll kinda be the deciding factor.
Oh ok. Looking forward to hearing your decision after all this. Since you have the spigen frosty coming lol.

Here a couple side by side shots:

Saw someone posted the Rebel Frosty the other day without MagSafe (I didn’t even realize they made it without MagSafe), so once I saw it on Amazon for 10% off, I had to give it a try.

Reminds me so much of my favorite case ever. Supcase used to make this for the original Moto X and it was amazing. The Rebel Frosted feels like the same case 10 years later.

the PR Frost without the black magsafe ring looks so much better IMO if you're planning on changing the camera ring and buttons to something other than black. the only one that really matches when the ring is there is the black camera ring; buttons do good on their own because they are not on the same plane as the ring. if the phone was strong enough to charge without the magsafe ring there, I would totally order one without it.
 
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.

It's the apple white magsafe charger is the problem, I use the brodit/clikon magsafe charger/holder in my car and doesn't leave a mark cause it's black.
Use apple one in my home/office and is very light on the FW, better than the old leather cases.

I'll give you my opinion on both...

For $20, I think it's the best case money can buy. That's a bold statement, I know lol ...The Spigen is a touch lighter than the PR Frosty and seems to have stronger MagSafe too. I kind of like the black frosting against the titanium phone too.

The PR Frosty is double the price, and I'd say the PR is still worth it due to the better construction and materials used. The frosting is way better on the PR too. The button customization is a bonus. Grip is always different from each individual so can't say which is better.

I've been rockin spigen black frosty since yesterday and most likely all weekend too

Turquoise Aspen came in today! First impressions: Not as slippery as I thought it would be, volume buttons and action button feel great but volume button not so much. Case feels very thin and light, which is the way I like it. Can’t wait to see how this patinas over time. Too early to tell, but this’ll probably take the #2 spot for me 😍

looks like a nice colour. I wished they had it out when i chose the navy colour for the aspen. One more case to go to come in i guess.
