Not been in here since the launch of the phone, what's the best leather case to get now?

Been using an official silicone but I hate the feel of it.
 
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.

Okay, but for the record, you are also using a PM, correct?

Ryan London finally came out with a leather case that has a CC button cover, so they own that particular arena in many people's minds, for now. But some Pro cases (but not PM cases?) seem to be shipping with a bit of a gap at the bottom lip apparently due to some sort of charging port expansion (so says RL).

If you're using a PM, seems like a no brainer though.
 
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.

That looks so awesome, can’t wait for my Ti to come in …….

Just received the ghost 2.0 not overly keen feels heavy,the magnets are the strongest I have ever come across that’s for sure,and won’t charge on the Tesla wireless pad so back to the ultramarine silicone,as the weight of that is perfect but drop it and the phones had it but I suppose that’s where the ac+ comes into force

I think you and maybe @Zensō have a few of these. I know you have the Desert Ti iPhone so which color do you think is best for it? I really want the Rose Bronze but I'm concerned it might be too flashy. Maybe not in person?

Since I can't see these in person, they are relatively expensive, and rumors are that Arc has terrible customer service I don't want to pick the wrong color and get caught in a major hassle returning it.

thank you, I've got a PM so will likely have a look at one of these! cheers

The one I have is a Sheath killer. The sheath these days is a fat bulky mess.
Same. Absolutely zero issues with fit or the buttons on mine. Sounds like Tee just got a (rare?) bad one since that's the first negative comment I've seen. Seems like a leap to then call that terrible QC versus what we've seen with the likes of Benks and others.

I received, yesterday, my RL case with the CC button, for my 16 Pro. I am thrilled with it! It’s my keeper case…5 stars. Yes, it has a very small gap at the bottom and while Zane Gonzales would have a problem with the gap, it’s a non-event for me.

The RL case is number 6 for me. If I would have purchased the RL first, I would not have had the need to purchase those other 5 cases. I am very pleased.

I’m glad you like your case, but RL needs to quit saying it’s supposed to have that gap. Yeah, it’s not a big deal, but BSing your customers is not cool.

No CC button is the Sheath killer for loyal Caudabe customers.

And that is the very reason Sheath lovers ordering Tineeowl.
Yeah but that requires the Tineeowl to actually be a good case and it’s still a step behind the Sheath, MagSafe strength, buttons, quality control all is much better on the Sheath.

Sheath this year feels very fat in hand which is evident when you rotate your cases.

I’ve sold all my 5 Sheaths for that very reason.

In my opinion only people who do not feel let down by Caudabe is case reviewers.

Caudabe cases use to rule these forums and even the hardcore fans have ditched the brand for now.

They are just trying too hard. Keep it simple and stick to basic.
 
It’s also half the price! What do you expect.
When I say it’s a “killer” of a case, I’m not saying that because it just has a cc button. Other things will have to be the same or better for it to be labeled as such. It’s an ok case for the price but it’s no Sheath. And that’s coming from someone who really hasn’t used the Sheath much this iPhone.
