This confuses me. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but there's a button right under the add to cart button where you can just get the skins that fit the Grip case. No need to add a second case to your cart and then remove it to get a second skin.

It's poor UX, and inconsistent with how they handle other add-ons.
The first time I had the question, when playing around with various options, I actually had to do a search on how to order additional skins, which pointed to the the non-button button illustrated above.
Instead of being convoluted and kludgely, why didn't they simply make extra skins an add-on item, like the others listed on the page, and illustrated in the very same screenshot?
Granted, one doesn't need to add another case, but the non-button button to required to initiate a mode change to add the skin is not an example of good UI.
They could also list them on their own in the section with the other skins they offer, but don't.
But perhaps they're being too edgy to create a website that functions better.
Like Pitaka's rebranding, it shouldn't require a chart, or other extra steps to perform a simple action.

Rebel Gen 7 is here and i think its my new daily this thing feels so slim and nice in my hands its crazy
Dont notice the “loose top” in use at all as u are not gonna be tugging on it all day every other sides fit super snug
One downfall is the camera lip feels annoying when using in the hand as my fingers brush up on it quite abit and its not exactly super smooth (not sharp though)

Looks great; the PR fit is always so good.
I think the concern regarding the loose top is that it diminishes drop protection on those corners, which are more likely to pop off in a direct hit. Odds are that won’t be a thing, but the expectations are high for Rebel cases.

Same for me. The open plateau looks weird and leaves a quarter of the phone exposed. Precise looks much better IMO.

Nice, What plateau protector are you using?
I need to put my black camera ring and black logo back on, I got too much orange 🙄

I find the corners really hard to push off on mine though this thing really fits just as good as the old models

Got mine off a random china seller on shopee (my local e commerce website) so sorry dont got a brand for that 😕
Ripped off my x-one protector as well as the thing was too thick and would catch lots of lint and dust at the corners

Yeah, it’s probably not a real concern. That area on my Gen 7 for the Air is also more flexible than the rest of the case, but it doesn’t seem like the corners will easily pop off.

Fit is great, weak MagSafe and if you like the vegan leather thing. Solid case though I just don’t like the two tone color way.

I’m annoyed by the loose top because no other rebel case has that issue and it’s something we haven’t seen on other rebel cases in the past. Sure you aren’t going to be pulling on it but it’s till an annoyance for me.

So I downgraded from my 17 pro max to the base 17.
Anyone using the base 17, and if so with what case? Currently in a ZAGG Sedona which is actually better than I thought it would be. Contemplating finally getting a paragon.

I'm accepting unwanted Mous & Cactus cases over here 😉

I do love the cactus. Not interested in the 17 version solely due to an oversized camera cut out

Here’s the Pitaka “Edge” in Lucid Blue (these name changes… lol). If you’re familiar with Pitaka Ultra-Slim cases, this is the same thing in a new color and weave pattern. The fit on this copy is very good, which has me feeling like I won the lottery since you never know with these full-aramid cases. The edges also feel slightly smoother, which has me wondering if Pitaka is making small changes to improve these. It’ll definitely have a place in my “around the home and office” case rotation.
