Cases really need that button. Really hate them cutouts.
@TechnicallyTee3 ай бұрын
Ehhh personal preference at the end of the day. Majority have cutouts and I’ll rather use a great case with a cutout than a “ok” case with a button.
@BMDakota_3 ай бұрын
Just be like me. Take what you can get with the button and wait patiently for other case manufacturers to include buttons on the case. I’m rocking the Spigen Hybrid T for the time being. I also love the color of my Natural Titanium so I like the clear case for that reason while I wait.
@adamaj743 ай бұрын
Agreed. Covered button is always preferable. What possible reason would you not want the button covered? And it's not like the covered button cases are inferior quality. For each brand that makes them they're the exact same cases, one just has a cutout and one doesn't. But for me, even if a case manufacturer made their covered button cases inferior quality for some odd reason, I'd still take complete coverage over slightly higher quality. In the end it's still just a cheap plastic case and I don't want a big cutout that's a dirt and grime magnet, constantly exposing part of my phone.

Mine hasn’t shipped yet- but I like the idea of the flush buttons. Will have to see it in hand, but I know where the buttons are so seems like it may just make for a cleaner case. Side note- any plans to review the MagBack Elite case? It’s what I’ve been running the last few days, and some of the features really set it apart. Nothing else like it out there.

That open camera button is a problem. They need to figure out a way to close that up like Apple cases. Dirt and grim can easily build up in there.

Got this and the Paragon in the mail today. I didn't even put the Rebel on the phone. The grips on the side are non existent. It's so strange. I mean they are there. But there's just no grip to speak of. So slick. The lack of the feet on the back is a bummer as well. The Gen 5 was on my 15 Pro Max for basically the entire time I had the phone. The grips look identical in the marketing. Not even kind of close. Oh well. The Paragon has some nice texture on the side, though. Gonna run it for a few days and see what I think.

Yeah I don't understand the hate toward the Flex. I LOVED the clear Flex on my 14 Pro. I've moved to Suti's PhoneBacks for my "minimal" uh "cases" with the 16 Pro. Not as much protection, but I rarely drop my phone and just want a little bit of grip while still feeling minimal and they're perfect. People don't buy minimal cases for protection. Get over it. haha Regarding the Gen 6, I'm super bummed about those buttons. I loved their buttons on the iPhone 14 Pro version but these look super uninspiring and meh. Probably will be passing on this one unfortunately!

I hate this case as the tpu sides after a while especially near the buttons do a curve shape ( ) and after another while the whole side disconnect from the hard back. They replaced it for me two times and still the same issue. No more of this useless case. Only strong magnets and that is it. Tee I always follow your recommendations with cases but please for this one or at least the top 3 make a long-term review for them as some of them never holds that much and for me I got the Phone rebel back for my iPhone 13 pro in 2021 and in 6 months for the 3 replacements the same problem happen.
