I had the frosted for my 14 Pro Max. I already have the Rebel case for my 15 Pro Max, and want to go with the Crystal case this year, over the Frosted. Hoping it releases shortly, before I decide on something else. I already have 4 cases for my 15 Pro Max, and don’t plan to purchase many more.
I have the Rebel Gen 5 full body case and the frosted Flex.. both for the 15 PM. the rebel attracts smudges and finger prints very quickly after wiping it. The Frosted flex, attracts no flinger prints at all. It's also nice being able to use the actual buttons. Frosted Flex for the win for me..
Thank you! I don’t know if it will because the phone rebel has a raised camera bump on the back and their own hardware to protect it. I would imagine a lot of cases could interfere with a lens protector if the protector is too big. Just depends on which protector you use. I haven’t used one from Spigen before so I can’t really say, sorry about that!
Is the frosted back smooth to the touch, thus offers some bite/grip when fingers resting on back similar to (crystal) clear backs? I find that some frosted backs can be very slick.
Great video! Does the back have any texture whatsoever or is it super slick feeling? I have aramid fiber one and considering this one. Any discount codes by chance for Amazon???
I don’t have any discount codes unfortunately. But it’s not really textured. Just has the frosted feeling as compared to a clear feeling. Not really textured, though.
By any chance have you ever tried the Frosted FLEX Series? The one without the side edges? I'm kinda confused right now wether to choose this case (the one on the video) or the gen 5 flex series. Can you share your opinion which one has better durability and protection?
Good video Brian. As far as the usb c port, I too wish it was a little bigger but phone rebel designed the shape based on the official Apple usb c cable of course lol.
Thank you! And that makes sense, but the beautiful thing with USB-C is that we don't have to use Apple's overpriced cables lol. I love my Anker cables, and unfortunately, the port is just a tad too narrow for my liking with those cables.
@@Paa375 actually no, the rebel case that Philip and his design team did was make the port shaped exactly like the one small ass cable that comes in the box (no offense phone rebel) but it should be a bit bigger so we can use better and longer cables and not waste money again just like with lightening bs.
@@Brians_tech Great! I watched your video. It seems like this is the only screen protector that offers somewhat edge-to-edge protection, and the black borders don't interfere much with the screen.
Brian I know someone who has the Mous clarity. He says it has a smooth back but a little bite because of scratch resistance coating. Is the back of the Frosted as smooth as ice or has some texture? Thanks!
It’s very smooth. You can feel the frosted back, but I wouldn’t say the back gives any grip. The sides make up for it very well though. Still great grip all around.
Are the buttons and camera ring on this frosted case able to be changed out? I wanna get the orange buttons and camera ring for it. I know the aramid one allows you to personalize the buttons. If so I'm getting this case. I never heard about this company until I came across your video. Thanks.
Yep you can change them out! If you go to my video for the crystal case (one of the most recent videos) I have an affiliate link to the cases and to the full accessory kit where you can select orange.
Good to know. One macrumor member posted a pic under high lighting. The dark spot doesn’t look bad anyway. I ordered a frosted flex for my 15 pro 🙌 Delivery today!
It’s the baseus one. If you go to my channel I made a video on the baseus battery pack. The cable is shown in that video and there’s a link to it in the description.
Okay so I pay to make my light weight with rounded edges iphone 15 pro max too feel like the iphone 14 pro max with sharp edges and weight 🤔 No thanks I'm happy with my spigen thin fit with 28 grams weight and thin feel.
@@gtiguy1992able i dont think you should be carring a phone if you tend too drop it at 50 foot 🤣🤣🤣 check out torras cases and they take the beating as well and they are a bit lighter and bette looking if you dont trust spigen or others.
@@usman2131 true but usually the more protective cases are a bit more hefty. You’re not getting the same level of protection from a torras or spigen that you’d get from something like the Mous or Phone Rebel. Just how it is, imo.
@@Brians_tech, I have this year’s Rebel and it kind of has a heavy feel for whatever reason. I love Everything Apple Pro’s cases, I have had every version. The Gen 3 was rough. The magnets would come out of the case, and stick to your phone. Gen 4 was perfect, and this year, they got better, especially the sides and the grip.
I’m waiting on his annual 50 foot drop test.

What are your other cases? Always curious what other ppl who have multiple cases have…
@@iitzstan, I have the Rebel case, Apple Silicone Case (clay), Casekoo Magic Stand and the Caudabe Sheath.
@@mattd8670 good choices 👌🙏
@@mattd8670what's your go to?
I have 24 cases so you don’t really have to complain at 4
Just ordered this for my 15 Pro Max
Great review! Just ordered one for my blue titanium 15 pro max ❤
Can’t wait to get mine 😍
Frosted definitely looks a bit thinner to me as well.
One of my favorites.
Good Review. Is the frosted case any better with fingerprints compared to the carbon fibre?
The aramid is pretty good about fingerprints, but yes the frosted basically doesn’t show fingerprints.
I have the Rebel Gen 5 full body case and the frosted Flex.. both for the 15 PM.
the rebel attracts smudges and finger prints very quickly after wiping it.
The Frosted flex, attracts no flinger prints at all. It's also nice being able to use the actual buttons.
Frosted Flex for the win for me..
Hi. What type of screen protector you're using? Coz my current screen protector always lifted when using this case. TIA
Torras! I made a shorts video on it.
Thanks man...much appreciated...
Great review Brian. Do you know if this case will be compatible with a camera lens protector like the Spigen?
Thank you! I don’t know if it will because the phone rebel has a raised camera bump on the back and their own hardware to protect it. I would imagine a lot of cases could interfere with a lens protector if the protector is too big. Just depends on which protector you use. I haven’t used one from Spigen before so I can’t really say, sorry about that!
Is the frosted back smooth to the touch, thus offers some bite/grip when fingers resting on back similar to (crystal) clear backs? I find that some frosted backs can be very slick.
It feels just like the glass on the back of the 15 pro. It’s nice and smooth without feeling slippy! I’ve just got mine today, really cool case.
It’s smooth to the touch, but the back is a bit slippery. More slippery than a clear case. But the sides definitely make up for it.
Great video! Does the back have any texture whatsoever or is it super slick feeling? I have aramid fiber one and considering this one. Any discount codes by chance for Amazon???
I don’t have any discount codes unfortunately. But it’s not really textured. Just has the frosted feeling as compared to a clear feeling. Not really textured, though.
OK, thanks so much, Brian. Love your videos always incredibly helpful! I really like the look of this case I think I’ll give it a try!
By any chance have you ever tried the Frosted FLEX Series? The one without the side edges? I'm kinda confused right now wether to choose this case (the one on the video) or the gen 5 flex series. Can you share your opinion which one has better durability and protection?
I personally don’t like the flex series. I never liked the way it feels on the phone.
I would definitely take a gen 5 (any of them) over the flex.
Good video Brian. As far as the usb c port, I too wish it was a little bigger but phone rebel designed the shape based on the official Apple usb c cable of course lol.

All my Anker cables fit perfect to be fair with my phone rebel gen 5 case. Also I use ESR 3 in 1 MagSafe charger at night as well
@@garethalston Yeup mine as well. My ugreen and Anker all work fine. Maybe some of the older first gen cables are the ones that are a bit bigger.
Apple cable is the best no issues what so ever well done Apple shame on 3rd party that’s what you get good price bad quality
@@Paa375 actually no, the rebel case that Philip and his design team did was make the port shaped exactly like the one small ass cable that comes in the box (no offense phone rebel) but it should be a bit bigger so we can use better and longer cables and not waste money again just like with lightening bs.
Great video. Do the buttons have padding on it? Also how is the camera ring against the phone since it has screws?
Thank you!! No padding on the buttons, but they’re very clicky. And there’s no issues. The screws are a bit recessed so it doesn’t scratch your phone.
@@Brians_techok great thanks for letting me know.
Hey Brian thanks.
In terms of thickness, how does the Phone Rebel compare to the Synthesis? Thanks!
The synthesis is thinner but not by a ton. It is noticeable, though.
The Rebel is way, way thicker and more bulky. I love the Synthesis.
Hey Brian, what screen protector was on the phone when you recorded this video?
Torras screen protector. I believe I have a video installing it.
@@Brians_tech Great! I watched your video. It seems like this is the only screen protector that offers somewhat edge-to-edge protection, and the black borders don't interfere much with the screen.
Prefer the frosted version. ❤
Brian I know someone who has the Mous clarity. He says it has a smooth back but a little bite because of scratch resistance coating. Is the back of the Frosted as smooth as ice or has some texture? Thanks!
It’s very smooth. You can feel the frosted back, but I wouldn’t say the back gives any grip. The sides make up for it very well though. Still great grip all around.
Hey Brian are the buttons covered inside so it’s not metal to metal when pressing the buttons?
Had this for 4 days and the back got all scratched up. dissappointing
How’s the raised side grips on the PR compared for the Caudabe Synthesis?
Side grips on the rebel cases these days is top notch so crazy
I’d say phone rebel is a bit more grippy but not by much. Synthesis has GREAT grip.
@@Brians_tech yes the Synthesis has excellent grip.
Can’t believe I’m still waiting for the 15 Pro version 🤦♂️
EDIT: IT’S FINALLY HERE Y’ALL
Should be out in the next few days!
@@Brians_tech I hope so. Been hearing that for a while already lol.
Are the buttons the same color as the aramid fiber?
I believe so, but they just released button and camera ring packs to change the colors if you want.
Are the buttons and camera ring on this frosted case able to be changed out? I wanna get the orange buttons and camera ring for it. I know the aramid one allows you to personalize the buttons. If so I'm getting this case. I never heard about this company until I came across your video. Thanks.
Yep you can change them out! If you go to my video for the crystal case (one of the most recent videos) I have an affiliate link to the cases and to the full accessory kit where you can select orange.
Anyone’s interior frost finish show scuff marks? Or exterior? I read about a few instances of the interior scuffing on macrumors.
Mine hasn’t yet.
Good to know. One macrumor member posted a pic under high lighting. The dark spot doesn’t look bad anyway.
I ordered a frosted flex for my 15 pro 🙌 Delivery today!
Is it Available in India 🇮🇳
I'm not 100% sure. I would imagine they ship there.
This or Spigen frosted hmmm price or price lol
Spigen frosted is on the way! Stay tuned for the video.
Plz tell me what is the cable type-c u got on this video
It’s the baseus one. If you go to my channel I made a video on the baseus battery pack. The cable is shown in that video and there’s a link to it in the description.

Generally more protective cases have a bit of weight to them. A trade off I personally don’t mind.
Thin fit ur phone gonna break with small drops phone rebel thing will take 50 foot drops
@@iitzstan weight is not equal to protection...torrus cases are light and good protection, spigen are also light yet protection is good.
@@gtiguy1992able i dont think you should be carring a phone if you tend too drop it at 50 foot 🤣🤣🤣 check out torras cases and they take the beating as well and they are a bit lighter and bette looking if you dont trust spigen or others.

Does this case dig into the pinky finger? Iykyk…
Not terribly. It’s not bad to use at all
The Rebel case is nice but it adds so much weight. It also hides my natural titanium phone.
This one isn’t too heavy this year. And the frosted or crystal will show the color
@@Brians_tech, I have this year’s Rebel and it kind of has a heavy feel for whatever reason. I love Everything Apple Pro’s cases, I have had every version. The Gen 3 was rough. The magnets would come out of the case, and stick to your phone. Gen 4 was perfect, and this year, they got better, especially the sides and the grip.
The branding on these phones makes them look cheap. They need to minimize the branding.
For me it’s not too bad, but I can see what you mean
i actually think the opposite
