Nope it looks absolutely horrible this year. Finally moving up to a 17 from my 15pm and that was the first one I was looking for and when they released it I was super disappointed.Anyone buying into Phone Rebel this year? Think I'll be passing
Haven't seen this one talked about yet. The iPhone 17 Pro MaxAramid ProGuard Case. fits like a glove! Only thing I don't like about it is that it has floating buttons other than that good case. It like Nomad Rugged but with Aramid finer. The CC button is interesting and feels good also works perfectly.

Love ESR, but Magic John offers essentially the same exact case for half the price.
I think I like the how the ghost feels better. The frost is bulkier and weighs more. I may return it but going to test it out for a few more days. You can barely see the apple logo through the frost
Wait, is the camera border made of metal on it or is just painted like that?
I don’t believe you. 😁Anyone buying into Phone Rebel this year? Think I'll be passing
Thanks for the feedback. Keep us posted after a few more days.
Hmmm, the frost is bulkier and heavier…not sure I’ll dig that, but we’ll see. I have the ghost and synthesis frost is on the way.
Also debating the Ghost or Frost Synthesis? Any thoughts which is more protective? Better grip?
the way i see it, the ghost might be lighter smaller , but it also scratches and smudges, and the plastic covering the camera plateu might slightly reduce thermals since a lot of heat is concentrated there. My vote is synthesis
I have that Onyx and am very happy with it. The only gripe I have is the lack of a CC button.
I have a Decoded leather case on the way and I think there’s a real chance I keep the Onyx and send the Decoded back.
Decided to order Onyx, all of the Pro Maxes are or of stock though. So I’ll have to wait a week or two anyway.
iPhone air - the Ryan London case is phenomenal. Reminds me of the iPhone X leather cases. Great fit, camera control button is perfect. The air is the perfect screen size. I work in an office so the thin aesthetic in a suit pocket is amazing. Couldn’t be happier
If I’m going to do something rugged or where the phone might take a few more bangs etc, my backup is the Ringke onyx

Good choice. Very solid case and looks excellent with the little hints of blue showing through.
The Ringke Onyx & Rugged were two of my favorite cases last year, how could they not include the CC button this year
They had it last year? If so that is a very curious decision.The Ringke Onyx & Rugged were two of my favorite cases last year, how could they not include the CC button this year
The camera control on the Alles last year was very good, can’t imagine why they didn’t include it on the Onyx and Rugged this year. Cost Savings?The Ringke Onyx & Rugged were two of my favorite cases last year, how could they not include the CC button this year
Wow, bummer. With so many problems this year, it seems like direct shipping from China is no longer a viable option. It’ll be interesting to see if my Suti and Arc Pulse ever arrive.
If there’s a silver lining, these various shipping problems have slowed down my case purchases… lol.

I ordered skins from QSkinz that ship from the UK. I delivered them to a customer today so I can breathe a sigh of relief in knowing that I should receive them within a week or two. I’ve given up on Süti and am hoping my Matter phoneback case comes. The way the shipping worked out this year, I’m not buying nothing else this year except skins and will continue to go caseless for the rest of the year until the 18 Pro Max.
