Goodness! I had hope things were working themselves out. That’s so unfortunate. I still don’t have them in hand. Still want to stick to normalize before getting them.
Got a tip for us?

Think I was lucky - ordered Tuesday came today ( UK )
Phone Rebel Gen 7 just came in. Love the feel and slimness of it. Only thing bothering me is the jiggly buttons and I can see some glue lines in the back. I’ll run it for a little and see if I want to return it . PR said the new gen 7 buttons should be out soon as well.
Still waiting on my flex to come in. Supposedly there was some sort of a delay with the free pre order lense promo that was supposed to come with it. The waiting continues….

Im pretty happy with my Sheath. Yes you can see seams in certain angles but you cannot feel them.
Got the Caudabe Sheath today. THE perfect case apart from the buttons rattling a bit. Not enough to put me off though. Finally I have a black 17 Pro Max!
Getting a replacement from Amazon delivered today, sending back the damaged one.
Still waiting for a couple of sets of replacement buttons. Been a week since they said they'd send them.
Okay I'm loving this Phone Rebel Air (minus the buttons) so much I'm hoping the Gen 7 will be available on Amazon.de in the future. (Because ordering from Phone Rebel directly, the Gen 7 including taxes and shipping would be 80 € ($ 92,55). 🤑
The form factor of the PR Air 2 is very similar to the Apple/Beats cases. Very snug fit.

Were the buttons tight on this new Sheath or did you have to swap them with the new 2.5 buttons?
So, can you see any difference in size when you sit the buttons side by side, out of the case?

I can’t speak to the wear yet it’s only been a month however I’ve never experienced the shiny stickiness on any apple silicone in previous years.
I can say this years material does feel different to me.
Yes and no? There’s a small seam running along the edge, but it’s hardly noticeable. The pinky rest on the bottom is also really smooth and less sharp than on the Apple Silicone.
Thanks. They're sending me replacement buttons. How much were the orange buttons?
One thing that I’ve always wondered about PR cases is why the logo is upside down compared to almost all other brands. Typically the logo on the side is upright when a case is laying face down, but on PR cases it’s upright when the case is laying face up. It’s no big deal, just something unusual that made me wonder, “Why?” 🧐
