Tineeowl quality control is terrible. Case could be really good but buttons are stiff, fit is a little weird. No way people are calling this case a Sheath k****r. Going right back to Amazon I’m sure.
I just had a feeling it was going to suck
I'll test the beater tomorrow if it ever shows up.
Yeah the camera button I’m just not a huge fan of. I know some people said there’s work perfectly but I just can’t get that from mine. The no lip doesn’t bother me too much since I rarely drop my phone. Still went both of those things improved though.
I mean everyone has to try things for themselves but I’m not impressed.I just had a feeling it was going to suck
No CC button is the Sheath killer for loyal Caudabe customers.
And that is the very reason Sheath lovers ordering Tineeowl.
loved the review of the ghost 2.0 @TechnicallyTee. even though you don’t want me back in discord. i really feel you give unbiased reviews and aren’t afraid to tell your true feelings.
Thanks much appreciated. Anyone is more than welcome to the discord. Never once said I don’t want certain people in there. The link is still in my description on my videos 😁
Yeah that’s until the Sheath comes out with the camera control and then everyone will be right back on board. Tineeowl is a good stop gap right now but that’s about it. It still can’t touch the sheath, at least the model that I have.
I’m think I’m done for this year (I know, I said it before… more than once, lol). Right now, I’m 100% happy with the matte black Arc. I like it much more than the graphite, which for me looked too flashy on the black 16PM. It also showed a lot of fingerprints, which the matte black doesn’t. I may go for the Ti on the 17PM, but I may just do the matte black again, which is lighter and stealthier at 1/4 the price.

They’re coming out with a version that has a camera control button in February.
It’s brown. There’s some color shift going on with the photo. Here’s another photo of the same case:

Darn photographic styles are making the colors look confusing 🫤 my bad. Knew it’s a RL, y’all. Thanks for the clarification.
I had glass ones and my wife had film one. There were scratches on all of it.
That I tell myself ever year and every year ends like this:
Need to sell this cases, because I already sell iP14PM that had my wife (switched for iP16 because of size).
You definitely don't. I'm charing only on magsafe with holder without any issues. Also charing in my car.
I stopped to use any other magsafe accessories because we finally have here digital ID, so I don't need to carry any ID with me.
Mate black was definitely my favorite one, but after some time mate surface going to be polished with carrying on pockets etc.
Titanium Onyx Black is more "black" that this I think and simply looks awesome. Definitely worth that price for me. And you will get 10% discount by emailing to Arc or look at @TechnicallyTee video about Arc Pulse. There is also 10% discount.
Man I really wanted it, but since it's shiny if it were to get all scratched up, I feel like I'd be a little upset because of the price. That's what held me back from getting that.
It shouldn't due to Tungsten Carbide - https://www.dymetalloys.co.uk/what-is-tungsten-carbide
But I will see over time.
Do these not feel awkward to hold? I’ve always wondered about that. Looks to make the top and bottom of the phone quite thick.
