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.

Thanks. I’m on the look out to add a leather case to my Sheath collection.

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.

Have the all clear on its way! Can’t wait to throw my blue buttons and blue ring on it to match my blue Ti 15pm 😉

Are you not liking your bullstrap anymore?

Oh I am, but the Andar seems to be getting a better grip with more usage. Both are equally excellent.

I was able to get Alpine Gold for my Max on Prime yesterday for $26, arriving 1/22.

Yea I’m talking that next day/2 day Prime lol not that whatever they got have now

Anyone have the Andar Aspen in Moss (green) and would like to share a pic or two? I noticed it came back in stock and I’m tempted by how everyone’s liked the turquoise color, but I’ve had my eye on the Moss for a while.

Here you go! This has 3 months’ patina (it‘s also for the 14 shhhh)
I’ve moved on to the turquoise right now, but the moss is beautiful.

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
I slapped a piece of tape behind each Ti button to get the click back on my crystal black

Oh ok yeah i like my Andar case as well but i like the design of the bulstrap with the camera ring in the colour of the case. If they brought it out with a closed bottom i would have went for that as well.

Interesting, I’ll try that later and see if it works for me.

Rebel CS got back to me, same day. They said they’ll be adding a disclaimer soon: “the replaceable buttons dont work well on the Crystal Cases.”

They’ll be issuing me a refund so I guess that’s settled. Hope the tape trick will work well enough for me cause man it does look nice

Well that disclaimer isn't true lol ..I've been running the ultra orange button on the clear crystal just fine all day. Pretty sick look too with the natty camera ring

It's only the natty buttons that seem to be a problem if anything

They didn’t say anything about me returning the buttons so I’m not too sure but if so then I will, if I can’t find a simple workaround. Returning the frosty tomorrow.

I hope it’s not true, I would order any color buttons that would work with this Black Crystal. Def let me know, when you get yours, which colors do/don't work with it
