Does anyone have both ? If so what do recommend as a daily driver ?
Have the Gen 3 but I can grab the speck for half price at best buy , looks tempting… just not sure what one wears better and holds up better to finger prints .

Thanks , I wish the fingerprints were not so bad with the speck. The fit is just amazing
 
My only issue with the Rebel is the lack of grip. It’s quite slippery.
Yeah, I agree. A couple of weekends ago, I dropped my phone for the first time ever while using the Rebel. Phone just slipped out of my hand as I was pulling it from my pocket. I haven't dropped it using any other case (including Mous). Phone was fine, so the case did it's job, but I need to sand the frosted plastic because it's kinda sharp now where it hit the ground.

I don’t find my rebel slippery at all. I don’t even find the iPhone naked that slippery lol actually to me the mous is more slippery. I do find the frosted rebels are a bit slippery compared to the aramid fiber though

I have both and prefer the speck. While the Rebel is a great case I find it slick as well. I have the blue grip and am pleased with it. My only quirk with it is how magsafe is accommodated. Its a cutout inside the case with a little insert card, the thickness is not consistent along the back as a result of this. While functionality is not impacted, if you run your finger down the back of the case while on the phone you can feel the cutout.

For me, the Rebel is slippery along the back but has good grip on the edges. The Mous is the opposite, slippery on the sides and less so on the back. Neither is ideal, but surprisingly I find the lack of “back grip” to be more troublesome than side grip.
