I still have their Shock case on my max presently, although my Presidio Grip is actually in my car. No...there are no problems at all
Got a tip for us?

Is it easy to take the phone in and out of the shock? I’m already upset at my slippery suit for being difficult. I wonder if the shock is in store anywhere.
AT&T stores usually have Bodyguardz stuff. Maybe BestBuy.
Haven’t found it in stores yet. But heard ATT would be the place.
Not hard at all.
That’s a shame... I keep recommending the Nomad Rugged, but I should maybe stop with that. People are going to think that I get paid by Nomad.Don't like it as much after realizing that I need a crow bar to get the phone out.

I like the nomad but I don’t want leather. Because water. Lol
Is my SlipperySuit peeling after only one removal ?
I put my phone in the case once and removed it once and I see some funny looking areas on the inside bottom lower corners.
This case is one hard mother to remove from the phone.
Is this the start of the "Peeling" that everyone was talking about?
How’s the warranty with Rhinoshield? If it peels I bet they will replace it. That really sucks it’s hard to get in and out.
Online it says it’s made out of Kevlar? Is it a soft touch finish? So many questions I know but I’m close to ordering.
I spilled water on mine a few times and it’s not visible. If you get the black leather, you are probably good with some water (spilling, not swimming). I would have recommended their Carbon case, but read here it’s disappointing, so either Rugged or no Nomad case at all.
I can tell y’all what’s not fun. Trying to get this Apple silicone case in and out of jeans.
The Kevlar is inside around the order. edit: border
The back is soft touch to where it will scratch. Not terribly but I am noticing it.

Just went into an AT&T store and Best Buy and no Bodyguardz Shock or Nomad Rugged cases anywhere.
Thanks for letting us know. I may stop a few places on the way home to see what I can find.
I am from Europe, so I am not sure, but I think someone said BestBuy has Nomad. Again, not sure!
Waiting for the Pitaka Pro to show up.
Do I need to order that Bodyguardz Shock case

Currently debating this myself. It’s on amazon but not prime so I have to pay for shipping and wait like 4 days. Yes I’m spoiled.
When is your SlipperySuit coming? Please let me know if you love it or not.
Pitaka Pro in. First impressions is that it feels like a quality case. It has a mighty deep lip and I'm worried it will peel up my glass protector. I'll fiddle with it in a while and see.

Thats a fact. This was the primary reason I went to leather when using Apple cases. I dont have to go into a Apple leather case review, just my viewpoint on the selection within the brand.
Did you end up trying the pure 2 edge with Pitaka Pro? How is it?
So i ordered the icarez 3d...could be user error, but when I tried to get the phone into the case, the glass screen was popping back up...perhaps it may have been ok if i waited for the screen to settle...but iw as disappointed.
i had the X with the pitaka pro and an arbalest glass protector (2.5d) - which was great...so i figured the icarez 3d didnt fit
Did it work?
How did you get 20% off? I got 10% off only.
Mine peeled up the protector on install, hence why i was looking for an alternative
I just got mine and you're correct, the icarez3d lifts when the pitaka is installed. So sad because it seems like a nice car and I like how the doing feels. I'm not sure of I'll keep it and order a 2.5 d protector or just send or back.
The Pitaka Pro, I'll be keeping this case. Very high quality materials, fits nice, handles very nice, overall a fantastic case.
It does have a very deep lip and I can see it peeling up a lot of screen protectors. I'm lucky that it fit mine perfect with no peeling up at all. It's super duper close to the edge of the glass protector though. I'm using the Bodyguardz Pure 2 Edge protector.
These impressions are after using the case for whopping 10-15 minutes.
Here are some pictures. The last two are next to the SlipperySuit.

Is lightning port cutout rather small or just a illusion? How’s mute switch hole? Button feedback?
