Hi Mastiff! Completely understandable. For me, the wobble on the Rebel is minimal compared to other cases I've tried thanks to the raised corners. Does the Nomad have no wobble at all?

Funny you mentioned the branding, because that's one of the things that I love. I think the metal rebel stamp is awesome and the rebel inlay on the top nicely understated.

@sarrum7696 Thanks for checking out my video! Don't get me wrong, the metal inlay and "style" of the branding is beautiful, I just think maybe the minimal "R" branding they had in the past would have suited it better to go with the overall aesthetic. But the case still looks great either way!

Hello! After some months of usage, have you experienced any kind of scratch on your buttons? I just received mine and I love it, but I’m worried about the fact it doesn’t have any kind of protection on the inner part of the case and I think it could scratch my iPhone’s buttons. Any update! Thanks a lot! I just bought mine after seeing your video.

Hi @ivansilvas In the all the time i've used this case, I haven't experienced any type of scratch or damaged from the buttons! In speaking with their team, the buttons have been extensively tumbled for deburring, and then go through a rigorous multi-step PVD coating process. In our testing the PC sticker degrades the click of the button, and is not needed because of our new PVD coating process. Basically the CNC buttons will not damage your phone at all, hope that helps! 🙂

In our testing the PC sticker degrades the click of the button, and is not needed because of our new PVD coating process. It seems the ones your received are a newer version. The rebel back logo is .5mm below phone back glass, it shouldn't make constant contact with glass. Your phone should be safe :-). Hope that helps!

I did purchase the previous generation or 'a previous' generation of this case for my iPhone 13 Pro. That model has a design on the sides that looks like it 'joins' two separate types of plastics. Unfortunately those came unglued recently on both sides making the case loose fitting and no longer really viable. In the process of communicating with the company to inquire about options... It worked great up to that point.

I did get feedback quite quickly from Phone Rebel Support on a total of three « back and forth ». The last exchange provided the following option: Given that the purchase is over 9 months ago (end of Jan 2023), I’m eligible for a 20$ rebate which can be added to the BFriday coupon I believe. The new 5gen seems to have resolved the issue (?) but it doesn’t seem to be available for models prior iPhone 14. Since I do not wish to have the same thing happen again in 9 months, I’ll need to go for equivalent with other brand…
