Also that natty kit on the clear crystal is such a banger

Haha, yeah you were an inspiration too! And thanks for that pic! That’s exactly what I’m going for by ordering the titanium button set. Looks exactly like I hoped it would.

At the time, they didn’t have the full sets in stock for the matte black, but they did have the button sets and black camera ring separately (which I found weird, but it worked out, so no biggie).

So I ordered one set of matte black buttons, one set of orange buttons, and the matte black camera ring. I think they have most of the full sets available now (or they did when I looked earlier).

Edited to add: I forgot to address your question about putting the case on. Yeah, it’s a super tight fit, but I don’t think you’d ever have to worry about it scratching the phone. Just make sure there’s no foreign debris inside the case when installing it and you’ll be fine.
Thank for letting me know. Yeah i might order a set of orange and matte black.

I ordered up my second MagSafe Frosty after returning the first MagSafe version for the non-MagSafe version (all from Amazon). I usually don’t like cases that show the MagSafe ring, but after using the non-MagSafe one for a few days, I decided having MagSafe was just more convenient for me. Also, I think the fact that the ring is black like my phone makes the ring stand out less to me.

I’d already ordered a couple button sets from Phone Rebel (matte black and orange) and they came in earlier this week. I also ordered the matte black camera ring (hat tip to [mention]Hooterville [/mention]for the inspiration).

After receiving the new Frosty yesterday, I installed the matte black camera ring and buttons, but installed only the orange Action Button to mirror my Apple Watch Ultra.

I’m now thinking I may order a set of the titanium buttons, as while I like the matte black ones, they kinda blend in too much. I may go full out mimicking my Ultra and install the titanium buttons, orange action button, and keep the black camera ring (because I like how it goes with the MagSafe ring).

Everyone’s seen this setup, but I’ll post a couple of pictures anyway.

It's a beautiful case and I never get tired of seeing new pictures of this case. I just changed mine to all orange and the black camera ring. I just took out my natural titanium buttons for the orange. Can't make up my mine if I like the titanium, black or orange buttons on the Frosty. Here's the titanium buttons.

just got my synthesis and it's perfect, what were the problems some of y'all were having?

The Synthesis doesn’t have the same issue with the MagSafe ring showing as the Sheath because of the harder back plate. The only issue I remember seeing for the Synthesis was the buttons were harder to press, but they’re apparently rectifying it by updating the case.

My launch day Synthesis buttons have always been fine, but others had issues.

Yep, that’s the exact look I’m going for. Black camera ring, orange Action Button, and titanium buttons to mirror the Ultra.

Got spanked for listing some cases for sale in this thread, I've been a bad boy :( Just put them over in the Market Place. Make me an offer, I need to off load some cases I'm never going to use.

Have around 30 cases here and need to thin the herd.

For $150.. I could never lol. And some ppl say BS is expensive. Leather back and TPU sides, I’d rather a $50 Nomad leather. But definitely let us know if you go for it!
the tpu sides are what's stopping me. if they are the same tpu and buttons that the aramid Enzo has, $150 definitely is not worth it for some "Italian leather".
