Not sure, I'm digging through them now.
Lately, I've been in the Frosty quite a bit and my good ole Symmetry with orange buttons.
Black Crystal Phone Rebel Gen 5 on Natural Titanium! Immediately, I could tell that I like this better than the frosted. It’s got much more grip in the sides as well as the back. Looks just as good as the frosted.
Pic 1 is with stock components, out of the box.
Pics 2&3 are with black camera ring, natural titanium power & volume buttons, stock action button.
Pics 4&5 are with my new Snap 4 Luxe.
Only problem is that the titanium buttons are too tight of a fit on the Crystal, making them mushy and difficult to press.. titanium buttons work fine on the frosted.

Yes, for me it’s better than the frosted in grip and for the fact that I don’t have to be as careful about scratches. Just a bummer that the NaTi buttons don’t fit it well enough! I’ll email them about that and see what’s up.. @thatappleguytoday pls let us know when you get yours if it’s the sameDamn, That's SWEET ! I need to order 1
Not at all.. it’s a tight fit which makes it very mushy as opposed to the naturally clicky & tactile stock aluminum buttons.. NaTi buttons work fine on the frosted though
Super under rated case. Lightweight, slim and surprisingly grippy despite the smooth surface. Buttons are also responsive. Unfortunately it's a fingerprint and hand oil magnet and cutouts at the bottom arent accurate.It's def bold, but not over the top. Looks amazing in person. It's easily going to be one of my go to summer cases. Summer starts soon here in Florida lol
Tempted to try phone rebel cases but ain't paying the $30 AUD shipping fees!
This is the type of stuff that drives us case nuts, nuts.
hi to all! what case you advise for iPhone 15 pro max with optimal protection-weight/grip/facial borders(minimal lateral sides for smooth swipes)? I try to find one of low weight and optimal grip, swipes.
I now has Dbrand grip case but weight 52 grams, sims heavy and bulky one. protection, swipes and grip good(even overgrip)
so gripmunk-44grams, grip good but back side is slippery, lateral side are not smooth for swipes?
caudabe synthesis-45gr, grip good, protection good, swipes from lateral sides?
caudabe sheath-42gr, grip good, protection? swipes?
ringke onyx magsafe-40gr, protection minimal, fit not tight(lateral sides), swipes ok, grip ok.
I consider ringke one but minimal protection and fit on lateral sides not perfect....

Cactus leather.. but I do think it looks nice with the dual tone wallet
So apparently the natty buttons do not fit right on the clear and black crystal series. Mike seem fine, but not as tactile as the aramid and frosty.
It’s not the buttons, but more the cutouts on the crystal cases themselves.
Phone Rebel Gen 5 is arguably the best for lateral swipes, grip, and protection, but it's on the heavy side. For whatever reason though, it feels lighter than it is in actuality.
Nomad sport case. My 2nd favorite aside from apple silicone
These look pretty sharp. This is probably what Apple should have done instead of the FineWoven.
Mujjo black 15 max.
Excellent can't fault it.
Exactly the same size as the FW, 7 grams heavier at 37 v 30.
Magsafe is better than my FW.
Buttons excellent.
Lip just right.
Pinky test excellent, soft lol.
Microfibre lining.
Grip is top notch melts into your hand for old mate @macher makes FW feel like a bar of soap.
Havn't tested for condom mark enough yet.
If you miss the apple leather case this is the one.
And much better than the nomad modern I tried twice.

I’m happy you are liking it. It’s still #2 on my top 5 list. Now you definitely need the blue 😉
I will wait a bit because shipping the buttons to Canada is expensive. Its $21 dollars just for regular shipping that is almost as much as the kits themselves.
