Just picked one up, I had one for the 14 Pro Max, but the sides were just killing my hand. Looking forward to actually feeling this design in the hands.
Several years later you still are the only reviewer that showcases how tight the lips around cases are. Every review video is a banger, as always. Appreciate you!
Yeah I might do a little something like that but doing something scientific with numbers, most people aren’t going to be able to know what the numbers even mean.
Hi, I see you're still using the Nomad Mount Stand, will it fit the smaller iPhone 15 Pro with a Caudabe Sheath ❤ case (or similar)? I want to buy this stand but I'm not sure if it will fit... ❓
Yeah I ordered the phone rebel Gen 5 and 20 days later I’m still waiting for it to be delivered. I know it’s coming from USA to me in UK but shipping times shocking when I paid £15 shipping cost aswell
crazy coincidence i just bought one today and then u come out with this video lol, i been rewatching ur previous rebel flex cases to see if i want it and today i finally did is when you upload this 😭
A yooo Tee, what screen protector are you using right now for your iPhone ? On one of your streams you said you switched to ESR, but those black borders are thicker than it should be, so it covers screen a little bit
Thank you for calling out the MagSafe test that was in a recent video! People freaked out so much over nothing and not even having the case in hand because they are salty
When will they release the frost clear one ? And don’t they give you clear stripes also to put on the exposed sides ? Thanks mate Love your videos .. worth the follow and like
Great review on the Flex, and also your previous one on the regular Gen-5. I was so impressed with the Gen-5 case, I ordered one and it arrives in 3 days. Now, having watched you in this video, saying there is no alignment frame for the included screen protector, I am worried. Can you make a video, or at least give me some tips and guidance here in the comments, on how I should go about applying the screen protector so as not to mess it up? It seems they only include one of them and I can't afford to waste it. Thanks for all your great, honest, and enjoyable reviews.
Hey Tee, i recently started watching your videos and im loving all these case reviews! If you could perhaps can you get and try out the 'arc pulse' I have been looking for a review but noone does it like you!
@@TechnicallyTee I think what happened with the case only was that the case bent outward to increase contact area with the magnets. Popping the phone in there however added rigidity to the case and hence less contact area, which was insufficient for the case+phone to pick up the MagSafe device.
Something I haven't seen any reviewer of the Phone Rebel cases point out, is that there's a hard plastic frame all around its bottom inside circumference, which might contribute to its superior drop protection--in other words, the bumper around the case isn't made entirely of rubber. Even the Flex series has this frame. It might be one of the things that makes this partially-minimalist case heavier than a true minimalist. The bottom edge of this plastic frame also goes around the cutouts for the microphone and speaker, and around the rear logo so you can push it out and replace the logo with one of a different color, without bending the bottom of the case's rubber, so this bottom length of the plastic frame might help further protect the bottom edge of the phone from a drop. This frame also goes around the inside of the camera lens opening, for holding in place the four screws for replacing the camera lens ring with different colors, or the kickstand version when they release that.
They need to smoothen out the sides of the case, so that it is smoother and more blended with original sides of the phone. They are two sharp and dig into the hand if you hold it for a while. They need some redesigning to make it smoother and softer in the hands
I will say it’s so good this year only one fatal flaw…. The metal camera ring… sat it down and my kid slid it across a glass table top… that may be a problem.
I encourage anyone to pick up one of these bases from Nomad, they are phenomenal...... It also makes for a goodiece of self defense, if the case ever arises.
How does this case feel in the hand with those raised edges in the corners? Are the raised edges in the corners on front/back sharp and do they bother you during regular usage?
You honestly don't notice them at all at least I don't.. I owned the one for the 13 pro max and loved it this one feels even better with the 15 pro max and the more curved edges.. you can't tell where the sides end and the case starts on the sides its so smooth
I just received the case from Amazon. I don’t notice the raised edges in the corners. If they chopped down the corners/top/bottom a little bit, this would be the perfect case, otherwise it is amazing!
@@zedicus16I didn’t even consider that but now I’m wondering if a screen protector even weights 13 grams. Seems a bit to heavy. I’ll weight a screen protector and update this comment later haha
I am waiting for the phone rebel flex crystal case to be released. I am hoping that one weighs a little bit less though. Hopefully they will be available soon.
Super strange design. It is barely protective and also not so thin, everything exposed🤷🏻♂️ It protects the corners, but violates the boxy design of the device
@@TechnicallyTeeevidently not 😂 are you dropping the top 10 video soon? I got a synthesis and am hoping it lines up with your number 1 as we seem to have similar opinions.
I love their cases especially this one. But they messed up because they took too long to come out with this.
Yeah I do agree they have to speed up when these cases are available.
Just picked one up, I had one for the 14 Pro Max, but the sides were just killing my hand. Looking forward to actually feeling this design in the hands.
I would love the addition of a scientific magnet measurement and magnetic field paper to check for alignment magnets!
Maaaan they had me when they did their first drop test on the Gen 1 of this case.
Yeah his drop test are insane. He for sure backs up his claims.
Another awesome review. The magnet tests are hilarious…but we get it! It resonates!
Several years later you still are the only reviewer that showcases how tight the lips around cases are. Every review video is a banger, as always. Appreciate you!
This flex is my favorrite case for the 15 pro max. My wife rocks the rebel gen 5.
I would love to see you measure the MagSafe magnets with a device so we would have a record of each case.
Yeah that’s something I for sure want to do.
well I would love to see a newton force measurement for the magsafe, but I have no issue if you continue testing like now❤
Yeah I might do a little something like that but doing something scientific with numbers, most people aren’t going to be able to know what the numbers even mean.
Got those Excessorize Me scientific shake test-vibes with that battery bank. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 didn’t know he did that type of shake test. I don’t watch other accessory channels really.
Can’t wait for the frosted im debating buying this one but idk yet 🤔💭
The delivery time is my issue with these I’ll wait until it’s on Amazon prime lol next day
It’s already on Amazon. I seen it today.
Yeah I wish the cases came out earlier but they ship out quickly when you order from the website.
Scientific magsafe tests would not work for most of us..we won’t understand anything 🤣🤣🤣
Yoo. T. You should start some giveway man.👊
I read somewhere that you can install the screen protector whilst the phone is the case and helps to guide the protector. Can you try that?
Hmmmmm I’m not sure but yeah I’ll have to try it out.
Do you have to use the screen protector?
46 grams for half a case is a joke!!
Yeah for sure a little heavy but doesn’t really feel that bad when on the phone.
Decoded please
👍🏽👍🏽
Always a cool unique case.
Yo Tee, we need the aramid showdown for Spigen, Pitaka, and Benks! If you had to pick one now, which one would it be?
I have the Benks and Pitaka and Benks is the best for me
@@muny_man thanks! I’m def between the Spigen and the Benks at this point I think.
Im currently using the Benks and its really solid 👍
@@iitzstan I’m just returning it because I don’t like the soft touch sides. I’m gonna give the phone rebel gen 5 a try
@@Gaijilla I chose the benks over spigen cause I didn’t like the bright silver accents on the spigen.
9:56 😂😂😂😂😂
Went flying lol.
Might as well not use a case 🤣
Personal preference
On point with your reviews. Love the real world scenarios. Hope your battery pack is ok!
Haha it’s all good!
Hi, I see you're still using the Nomad Mount Stand, will it fit the smaller iPhone 15 Pro with a Caudabe Sheath ❤ case (or similar)? I want to buy this stand but I'm not sure if it will fit... ❓
Nice wallpaper. Can you share the wallpaper?
biggest turn off for this brand is that they dont make cases for every model iphone, only for the pro models
Yeah I ordered the phone rebel Gen 5 and 20 days later I’m still waiting for it to be delivered. I know it’s coming from USA to me in UK but shipping times shocking when I paid £15 shipping cost aswell
I bought mine on amazon, I live in mexico
The Shipping cost to my country (Argentina) is 40usd :/
crazy coincidence i just bought one today and then u come out with this video lol, i been rewatching ur previous rebel flex cases to see if i want it and today i finally did is when you upload this 😭
There we go 💪🏽💪🏽
Nice review Tee no cases yet from Rebel for the 15 it all the pro and pro max 😎🇨🇮
Can we get more colors?
Quite heavy for a minimalist case... Benks has it beat again.
That's the price of crazy drop protection. Benks isn't even comparable in that regard.
A yooo Tee, what screen protector are you using right now for your iPhone ? On one of your streams you said you switched to ESR, but those black borders are thicker than it should be, so it covers screen a little bit
I went to the ESR and then I switched back to the Spigen.
Thank you for calling out the MagSafe test that was in a recent video! People freaked out so much over nothing and not even having the case in hand because they are salty
Yeah people will over exaggerate everything. Just had to clear things up.
My favorite case, wished it would make it in red.
When will they release the frost clear one ? And don’t they give you clear stripes also to put on the exposed sides ? Thanks mate
Love your videos .. worth the follow and like
Not sure when the clear one is released but you can bet I’ll have the video out as soon as it’s ready.
Yo tee could you do a comparison between a matte screen protector Vs a glass/“regular” screen protector?
Hmmmm interesting video. Might can do it.
Always buy this and the closed one every year. But this years I’ll pass the PVS finish on these new iPhone scratches way too easy.
Yeah I don’t trust any material these days so I want it protected.
for how much this case weights.. I would rather get the Cadaube Sheath with the full phone protection.
I get it. All personal preference.
It would look better with titanium rings buttons etc by the way tee can you share the link the where you got the technically tee led sign from
A company got it for from Etsy. I can see if I can find the extra company because they did a really good job.

Thanks I really appreciate it!
Can you please review the otterbox Defender XT not the clear black
I’ll check it out!
Do you think this will fit the iPhone 14 Pro Max?
I have it for my 14 pro, they make it for the max as well
Favorite case for the X and the 13 pro!
I'm gonna get that for my 15 as well
Loved it for my 13 PM
Can you make a video for blackbrook carter and burkley cases please?
Yeah I’m for sure going to take a look at the Blackbrook cases.
Can’t wait for the custom buttons and len frame protector from Rebel for the Gen 5 😅
Yeah for sure. Video as soon as they are released.
Hey Tee, i recently started watching your videos and im loving all these case reviews! If you could perhaps can you get and try out the 'arc pulse' I have been looking for a review but noone does it like you!
Yeah I usually review the arc pulse, I just haven’t yet for the 15 Pro Max, I think it’s still on preorder.
@@TechnicallyTee Alright thanks! Cant wait for it haha👍👍
Do you know if the Rebel Gen5 for iPhone 14 PM will be on sale? It's on EAP's website, but it's not buyable.
I know they are making it but I’m not sure when it’s going to be ready.
@@TechnicallyTee I hate not knowing!
Can you do a review on the Tech21 EVO Max case?
I’ll check them out.
0:17 nothing like a classic Tee moment
Great review as always. Got the Gen 4 Frosted (not flex version) and gotta say, best case i’ve owned.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks for the review. Nice case. Blessings on your day!
Thanks Jeff!
Did you or can you do a video on casetify ultra bounce case please?
Yep I have to do my video on them for sure. I just spoke on them briefly but will do a dedicated video on it.
LOL at the case+phone MagSafe failure and rip battery pack.
Big fail! I was definitely expecting it to be a little stronger but still gets the job done.
@@TechnicallyTee I think what happened with the case only was that the case bent outward to increase contact area with the magnets. Popping the phone in there however added rigidity to the case and hence less contact area, which was insufficient for the case+phone to pick up the MagSafe device.

im really waiting for the crystal variant, because i love using dbrand skins 😩
Yeah hopefully it will be out soon. They do take awhile to roll these cases out.
@@TechnicallyTee i dont know if i like the slow roll out as they are ready or would prefer them to just drop the whole set at once.
@@TechnicallyTee thanks for the reply :)
#titaniumhips
It cost 60$
Yo tee quick question where did you get that wallpaper so fire 🔥
What’s your favourite phone case? I also have the natural titanium
Flex barely protect so is no go for me
@acone30 here , I had to laugh when you said #TitaniumHips 😂😂😂
15 Pro Max fits in last years 14 Pro Max case,
I had one of these on my iPhone XR and I loved it. The dude does drop tests with them and they do well
Honestly can’t believe we’re still waiting on the frosted 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️
Yea I’m right there with you. Have to speed that process up.
I encourage anyone to pick up one of these bases from Nomad, they are phenomenal...... It also makes for a goodiece of self defense, if the case ever arises.
I keep something else next to my bedside but if that ever failed the base would work 😂
❤
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Rip battery pack 😂

Automatic No No🤦♀️ great vid though
It’s a design that tons of people love. All personal preference!
Great review...!!!
Mine comes on friday
🎉
Your scale is off man. Your total weight minus the weight of the case gave me 234 grams. The phone itself is suppose to be 221 grams
He has a screen protector on as well.
@@zedicus16I didn’t even consider that but now I’m wondering if a screen protector even weights 13 grams. Seems a bit to heavy. I’ll weight a screen protector and update this comment later haha
Yeah screen protector is giving it extra weight.
See when you put the wallet on it was a satisfying snap
O yeah 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great idea
I am waiting for the phone rebel flex crystal case to be released. I am hoping that one weighs a little bit less though. Hopefully they will be available soon.
Like most people, I don't want my phone's sides exposed as I see scratches inevitable. Waiting for the Clear or Frost Gen5!
Yeah for sure. I don’t trust any material that a device is made from.
Just a tip about testing these cases: plug the USB-C in. I've read reviews that Phone Rebel cases don't play well with various plug sizes.
Yep. I’d like to compile a list of which ones work and which ones do not work. I have a frosted flex for 15 pro on the way.
The best minimilistic case IMO is the latercase💯
Man they are good but I really wish they had MagSafe.
Hard pass…no protection. You’d be better off not using a case and showing off 100% of your $ 1,200+ phone, just be careful with it.
Some people don’t need a bunch of protection.
Never had an issue I’ve had them since the beginning… the crystal flex… I don’t recommend shattered back glass on a back drop on the 14 pro max
Probably getting better protected with this compared with the clear back.
Pass. I hate Cases.
bad case lol
Not really.
Super strange design. It is barely protective and also not so thin, everything exposed🤷🏻♂️ It protects the corners, but violates the boxy design of the device
Have you used one and watched the drop test of this case?
@@TechnicallyTeeevidently not 😂 are you dropping the top 10 video soon? I got a synthesis and am hoping it lines up with your number 1 as we seem to have similar opinions.
Been running the flex for the 14 Pro Max for almost a year now, best case ive ever used
I had this case and wasn’t a fan but the drop test with the case is insane lol
This guy has no idea of the build quality. Since you don’t like the looks it’s not for you.
First
