how did this happen lol I’ve had mine since launch date n nothing close to this
If you don’t drop your phone regularly it won’t happen. If you do, it starts with peeling, then eventually the case self destructs.

Other silicone cases will do this too, which is why most of the better cases are constructed with a TPU outer layer.

The PR Crystal is so stiff, that it pushes off my screen protector. I have had other cases like dbrand Ghost, YMW, Torras and none of them have issues with my WSKEN screen protector. Only the Phone Rebel.

So I have decided to put back on the dbrand Ghost. I now have two of them. Found a deal for 15 EUR, new in box, with the protection stickers on them. Couldn’t resist. If my first dbrand scratches up even more, I have a nice second one until April.

Love the dbrand apart from the scratching. I really enjoy the buttons and the lightness of the case.

I thought it stopped happening? And that is why you ended up keeping it.

Yeah this is why I don’t use my crystal black anymore. Was a shame it had become my favorite
That was me thanks!
No problem!


Won a $200 bet on the chiefs, should I buy a couple of andar cases or upgrade my Vision Pro to 1TB

I’m using my crystal black tonight. I forgot how much I appreciate lower lip on the edges. I’m using Torras Diamond shield screen protector, fits almost perfect.

What do you mean it pushes it off? I have the same screen protector but I have the PR Frosted and don't have this issue? Does this issue only occur when you are removing the case?

It's been so long that I forgot that I even ordered this thing o_O Bare Armour case in black. This is a fine case with fantastic Metal buttons (with protective backing), tight fit, excellent grip ETC. It has that soft touch finish which I absolutely hate :( I will report back later on the fingerprint/smudge/grease pit on the back. While this is a fantastic case it's nothing more than an overpriced Torras Magnetic Guardian case. The company BARE has zero customer service and ships this thing on the slowest boat they can find from China. Literally took over 30 days to receive o_O Here are a couple pics just for the hell of it:

No, it happens randomly. It can work perfectly fine, and all of the sudden the left down corner of the screen protector is showing bubbles. When I take off the case, it works great again.

It is always the same: the left down corner. I thought the problem was gone, but it still persists, @gagee. Such a shame, because the PR is my favorite.

Thanks again. So far I’m leaning towards Ryan London because their specs are pretty much exactly the same as the Sheath and Andar seems more chunky according to the specs.

Below in mm

Sheath
149.5
73.6
12.1

Ryan London
150
74

Andar
152.4
76.2
12.7

Does this happen with the Frosted as well as I have the Frosted and don't have this issue

Garnet Red Sheath arrived today (11 days from order to delivery!).

Faint Magsafe ring about the same as my revised black. This years 'Garnet' red is darker than last years 'Crimson' red, more burgundy which is my favourite colour....so, cool.

Pleased with it.

I love my Andar but now I need a Ryan London too 😳

I’m assuming the Ryan London measurements are for their closed bottom (?)

Just ordered Ryan London in saddle brown closed bottom. Reason I chose RL is because RL is pretty much exact dimensions as the Sheath. Andar and Bullstrap are chunkier.

My Ryan London closed bottom feels great but it has that gap where you can see light through the USB hole and I know it’s not a big deal and a lot of cases have it but I just can’t stop looking at it
I’m getting the saddle brown, what color do you have?
