    They focused on closed sided cases cause those were selling more. It's just business, open sided cases don't sell as well because they don't offer as much protection

    I’m rocking a frosted Gen 3 as I type this and was an early pre-order for the OG Rebel.
    I think most people want closed sides for peace of mind so that’s where they put their resources.
    But I agree they should try of offer more variations of the Flex and try to make cases available on launch day

    Also is it not weird that in the flex series it doesn’t have the green shock gel in it? Where as the original did.

    • @brandon_caleb
      @brandon_caleb  2 роки тому

      Phone Rebel explained that it was much more difficult to integrate the shock-absorbing gel in the flat-edged design. But the Gen-2 and Gen-3 cases, both of which are flat, still have them… although the next Flex is expected to finally integrate them again

    I love the open sided case for the bigger phones I’ve had them all except the gen 3 closed case. Gen 2 was heavy and bulky. Seemed like a slightly cooler Mous case. This one looks better but I’m always on a mission to get the biggest phone with the thinnest case that can handle drops. Open sided with a carbon fiber skin off the side…. Perfection

    i see where you are coming from with the open sided cases. but you have to relise how much it is for him to make these cases and sell them at that price. he need to get new molds materials and other costs that go into make a new case thats what some cases were delayed due to shortages and how much he had to shell out for molds.

    • @brandon_caleb
      @brandon_caleb  2 роки тому

      No, the Frosted Gen-3 cases only have the same MagSafe strength as original Apple cases, and the slippery frosted design allows accessories to fall off more easily.
      Only the FLEX Series and Gen-3 REBEL have the 30% stronger magnets.

    Looking back on this video, I do admit that I kind of sound entitled and I think I may have expressed my opinion kind of aggressively or in the wrong way. I do appreciate the feedback you guys have given me.
    I still stand by my opinion that Phone Rebel should focus more on their open-sided cases instead of closed-sided ones. It’s what built their company, but at the end of the day, it’s just my opinion.
    I do understand the reasoning that Phone Rebel likely chose to develop their closed-sides cases first because it’s much easier to do and it sells more because the design is more familiar and gives more protection, and that open-sided cases are really hard to make since no one has ever done them before.
    My point is this video is that I don’t like the closed sided cases. It’s just my opinion. If Phone Rebel made many different types of open cases, I’d probably get most, if not all of them. Again, this is just my opinion, and you don’t have to agree. Before I posted this video, I did expect that most people would disagree. But again, at the end of the day, *it’s just my opinion.*

    I must disagree with the opinion on open sided cases. I want this case for how well it protects all parts of the phone,I hate scratches on the screen back and sides, I’m thrilled they offer the closed sided cases as first priority and that there are more options. A case is about protection first, if it’s cool and allows damage why bother. Also I work outside and drop things. Open sides allow broken screens.

      I think it’s the idea of open sides that people can’t deal with.
      I ran an OG Rebel on my 11 Pro for around 1.5 years… took it hunting, fishing, wrenched on cars, ATV riding, to work and when I traded that phone in it was in immaculate condition.
      It got dropped to many times to count too.
      There may be a rare situation where it falls in exactly the right way on something where it strikes on the exposed sides but that’s not a common occurrence.

    I respect your opinion and you have the right to have an opinion but you sound like a dweeb lmfao... the creator wanted to make a case with best drop protection that still has a great look and feel but drop protection always came first. Thats why gen 3 is the main product... Also as other comments have said, he is focusing on products the market demands, which is mainly closed cases
