You pay a premium to get it fast. It's a lot cheaper if you have the patience to wait a few days.

I'd say you're getting a deal. Here's what it would cost for me in Michigan. The truck isn't even warmed up by the time it gets here. 😆 I'm the one getting robbed.

I get my orders in 3 business days door-to-door from Cincy, OH to Philly, PA area via USPS ground advantage.

That’s expedited shipping. Their regular USPS 1st class shipping is $4.49.

When I ordered takes 3 days to get to Philadelphia PA, ship on a Monday will get Wednesday.

I get what both of you are saying. I should’ve mentioned it in my post, but that’s the only shipping option that pops up for me, I can’t change it. Maybe it’s location based, idk.

Do you find you need a more protective case like the Frosty or are you usually good with the Apple silicone and Andar Aspen?
I am fine with the apple silicone case or the Andar aspen. Never had a protective case like this before.

Hmmm I doubt it because Any lighter color you do, dye will probably rub off on it from your jeans. It's similar to leather case brands being thoughtful of how the leather will look when its starts to patina.
Tee, what about the current gray color…how’s that been holding up?

They’ve done royal blue in the past that was my daily driver with no issues.

And the current gray is way lighter than the blue and I’ve seen no color transfer on it yet.

I just wish they’d do some less muted colors.

Do you get USPS delivery?
Typically I do, yeah 😟
That is weird, I'm seeing $4.49 to S. Utah. $15 is definitely a no go if that what you're getting.
Weird. Maybe I need to try it on a computer and see if that works. And yeah, $15 shipping is an automatic no, I don’t think I’ve paid that much for shipping for anything in my life 🤣

Something doesn’t sound right that you are not getting a USPS option.

“the iphone's case that survived a 16,000 feet drop from alaska airlines was the spigen cryo armor”

That case did nothing to protect that phone. This phone could have been naked and received the same results. The phone probably tumbled through some nice soft tree tops before landing on a nice soft bed of uncut grass and weeds.

It was nothing but pure luck.

Frosty little bro black crystal is here. The case is phenomenal. Everything I love about the PR cases is still present on the black crystal. Some will def not like the glossy black, but I actually like it a lot because it gives wayyyy better grip than frosty. MagSafe strength is also a lot stronger than frosty. SO good.

Running matte black kit on the black crystal for now
