Unfortunately my Pitaka MagEz Pro got a chip in the corner just in my back pocket… must have scraped it on something at work without noticing… pains me to put a blemish on such a nice looking case, but that’s my OCD.. still rocking it, seeing how long I can last with the Aramid before my OCD sends me to the nut house.

Didn’t someone here have the 600D version of the Pro?? If so, who was it so I can look at their pics??

I’ve read on here about other people getting white chips on the Pitaka pro. It’s strange because I have never had that on a MagEZ case and I’ve been using them for the last 3 years

That’s a good point, now that I think of it, not a single one of my MagEz’s have any white chips on them through the years.

Tee mentioned in his review that the Pro is protective but not durable and will show marks if dropped.

Been using the revised Sheath for a little bit and I'm coming around to liking it. I gave the volume and Action buttons a stretch by pushing them in further than they go when installed and pushing them out from inside and they are now much better. I have to get the right light and angle to see the MagSafe indent so not really an issue.

The reason I gave it another go was because of the new red, my favourite case from the 14 Pro Max was the crimson red Sheath. LOVED that case!
Ordered the garnet red and hopefully I can then stop buying damn cases, lol.
Going to have to sell a few I won't use I reckon.

As much as I’ve complained about the MagSafe indent on the current Sheath, recently I‘ve been using it a bit as well. The things I appreciate about it are the same as always: great fit and grip along with best of class scuff and fingerprint resistance.

I guess if you’re hard set on being able to use other buttons, yeah. I’m keeping mine bc despite that, I do really like the case.
Yeah i actually like the stock buttons. I mean it costs a lot to ship just the button kits here to Canada so I don’t think it is worth it for me.

Yeah, Phone Rebel really needs to fix their shipping rates for outside the US. A single button set costs me $23 in my currency to ship. A case + button set makes shipping $33. And this is just the normal shipping that takes 7~14 days.

Yeah it cost the same thing here for shipping in Canada. if it is the case it is $21 if you add buttons it goes up to 31 dollars which is ridiculous. Yeah i saw it is just normal shipping if you want expedited it is even more lol. Did you order anything yet?

Not yet. I'm waiting for someone to show some Gen 5 Frosted kit combinations that I'm interested in before ordering.
I'm curious how a Natty/White titanium phone looks with the Frosted + Blue Titanium kit.
Also, I heard you could use the Gen-4 buttons on the Gen-5 and I'm interested in getting the purple buttons as well.

Oh ok I think there are a few people on here that can show you their configurations. Maybe @Hooterville or @thatappleguytoday can show you their configurations.

I don't remember if they bought the Blue Titanium kits though. I wish there was a Navy Blue Frosted Case to match with the blue kit. Then I could just buy the regular black one along with it.
Oh ok i dont think they bought the blue titanium kit just the natural titanium.
