So I bought the Phone Rebel Gen 6 Ultra a month ago and decided to open the case and use it now.
To my surprise there are issues with the glue line. Very annoying as the case took a while to be delivered to the UK only for it to not be perfect.

Do you guys think I should return it and ask for a replacement?

Phone rebel's quality control is bad!

It’s past mid June 2025 in UK.

Even though the above info is of no interest to me but I felt it was my duty as a devoted member of this forum to share it with you all minus the Caudabe peeps in here.

Still late May, early June here in the US ;)

The problem is the replacement could be worse than this one. It’s a bit of a lottery.

Interesting case, I just hate those round metal stands on the back.

Looks like some really big improvements to the Torras O-Stand case I talked about a few pages ago, including the addition of the dot grips on the side that I love so much on the Owl. What does look the same is the semi-transparent back that is a pretty bad fingerprint magnet. I loved the built-in rotating ring (didn't seem to add much weight but I'm not that sensitive to that aspect) and would definitely upgrade to this one if I was still using an O-Stand.

Picked up this Monocarbon case from Amazon. Superlight and great value for a near naked phone skin. Looks the part next to my Honor V3 Thinborne case also.

Well, crap. Got my Celestial Blue Sheath and ember buttons FINALLY, and I like it a lot. So I guess I won't be returning it, and will be retiring my beloved Owl (though I still like its dot grip a bit more).

The Sheath is really nice on the 16 but I also got the Bullstrap and that thing is just super nice and leather is always going to win out for me. The black leather on the blue speaks to me.

Going to return the Sheath and stick to the Bullstrap until the 17's come around and hopefully Bullstrap figured out their stuff so they can release sooner in the cycle with the proper buttons or whatever.

Definitely understandable. I still can't believe I never put a leather case on this 16P. I'm sure somewhere early on in this thread I was "leather or death". Just haven't felt the need though because I think I actually prefer the texture of this cheap ass plastic!
 
Has anyone had a grey sheath shipped yet? Or does anyone remember what the estimated shipping date was when they first announced it on the 23rd of May?
