Got pics?
Of the TPE inner corners? No, & it’s on my phone rn lol. I did post some pics of the Crystal Black yesterday.
Ok thanks! Because in Amazon UK Horween cost £70 against £50 for normal leather and I don’t know which one to buy… In UK no Andar,no Bullstrap…only Ryan London is available to buy (and Nomad obviously)
I hear good things about Ryan London. Supposedly the open bottom RL leather feels better than the closed bottom one. If you go Nomad, honest I don’t think Horween is worth it, just go for the modern. From what I’ve read, only real difference is that the Horween will patina faster

I’ve had Horween English tan leather goods and I like how English tan patinas. The non Horween is ECCO tannery not sure about them.

Thank you very much for this information! I will consider buying another leather case (already have a clay Decoded)

I just don’t wanna worry about melted frost, and I prefer the feel/grip of this crystal one.
Did amazon give you any issue with returning the frosty? Are you going to keep the crystal Even if the buttons dont work properly with it?

No issue so far with Amazon returns. Yes, I’m keeping the crystal for sure though I am hoping to hear that at least the aluminum buttons work well with it. Haven’t tried the tape trick with the titanium buttons yet

For those of you who have the Phone Rebel Frosty, what colour buttons/camera ring would you say would go best with the Natural Titanium iPhone colour?
I am going to purchase this case as a present my sister's birthday and deciding what colour buttons to go for?

Does anyone have a discount code that works for the component kits? I tried TAKE10 but it doesn’t apply to the button kits. Wish they sold them on Amazon

There should be a pop up when you visit the site, to enter your email for 10% code. That’s what I did.

Does anyone own both the Pitaka MagEZ 4 and the Pro case? If so, do you find the material as grippy ok the pro as the thinner case? I got the Pro some time ago and found it really slippy and boxy so sent it back. But I’m wondering about trying it again. The material of the MagEZ 4 I find offers the perfect amount of grip so I’m not sure why the Pro seemed to be so slippery? Maybe it improves with use?

I took the case off twice yesterday. Doing all the methods people said to prevent the frost from coming off and i notice a bit off on one of the corners. You cant really notice it. I mean if you really look you will see it.

Like any clear case you'll get some smudges, but hardly noticeable on the natty, plus I can give a quick wipe and new looking again



USPS tracking is not updating lol I am hoping tomorrow, but if not, def in the next few days
Oh did you order through phone rebel site instead of amazon?

Oh wow. I guess maybe it’s a case not to take on and off often?
