That's very sad if it's that soft. I thought it was fake too. Just catching up on this thread, so I'm a bit late in responding to this topic.
Got a tip for us?

Oh yeah, saw that thread… „I don’t need a case, I like the patina on the phone“….
Well the good thing about it is that it’s now almost a silver phone. 😏

Guess you can now buy the Tank in Best Buy stores. Wonder if they are Gen 1 or 2 being sold in stores?

I heard somewhere that gen 2 appeared in Best Buy even earlier than on their website.

I glad that I asked Mous to send me Black Leather as a replacement because Aramid Fiber is a huge fingerprint magnet.

That’s why I like the Sheath. No finger prints, no smudges, doesn’t scratch or doesn’t scratch easily.
The buttons are V2 but the camera button is the old one.
The rep I spoke with said it would take a while before BB had any of the newest stock. I tried twice and got v1 (technically v1.5). Ended up getting a direct copy that had the most recent changes.
The original Tank had a one piece volume button design. As far as I know, the first revision separated the volume into two individual buttons. The most recent revision added an updated camera control button and supposedly improved the tolerances on the cutouts.
Easiest way to tell is shiny/glossy cc button is the newest version.

Seemed high on the case. Just wish the top wasn’t so flimsy

This perfectly showcases how much debris accumulates under the top part. Coincidentally he also mentions this in the comments:
I’m surprised how well this held up during drop testing though. Maybe I’ll get mine off the bench again 😄

Yeah not huge on it either. Fingerprinting drives me nuts

I was not sure. The Gen7 is really minimalistic and there’s just not much material acting as a cushion here. I still think it’s not the best at absorbing the force going into the phone. But I definitely trust it more now. I still prefer the PR Air over the Gen 7 though. Wish that one came with the TPE corners.
Are we still hell bent on wasting more of our pounds and dollars?
If yes, im thinking of getting Beats Rugged in Orange.
