Does the Andar Aspen get any Magsafe indents or marks on the back from charging?
This will be my first Andar case.

Phone Rebel Air 2 is a direct knockoff of the Synthesis :oops: IMO with that Magsafe indent a complete fail o_O

Going back into the Synthesis this afternoon as this Magsafe indent is sparking up my OCD ;)

Air 2 with the aluminum camera protector :rolleyes:

I actually too some goo gone and removed all the sticky stuff off one of the old camera protectors o_O
This way I can just lay the protector on for pictures and decide if I want to stick another one on or not.

I’m back in the Synthesis too. PR seems to have copied the Synthesis in terms of looks and grip, but skipped the most important part in my opinion, which is the rigid backplate. The Air’s TPU also seems softer, which together with the lack of backplate is probably the cause of the MagSafe indent.

Got mine through this morning.

A very nice case! Not finding it too slippery at the moment.

Am liking the black and NT contrast
Been in the Ultra Hybrid Matte all weekend.

Been sleeping on this one! What a great case - I can see why so many on here have it as their staple.

Does that camera cutout annoy you? You don't get a MagSafe hump/ring?
They want $79AUD here.

I’m ambivalent about the cutout on the Synthesis. The hard backplate prevents the MagSafe indent, similar to the Symmetry. The fit is very good, better than the Symmetry. The buttons are meh, but fine. I like the grip, the super tight fit, and the thin profile, which approaches (but doesn’t quite match) the Apple cases.

Anyone have experience with the Otterbox Core? Specifically the material it's made from - is it silicone like the Apple silicone case? I can never get on with that as I find it too sticky/lint magnet etc.

If it's more of a plastic feel though (like the Otterbox Symmetry etc) then I might try it.
