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.
Well just like I said, I haven’t used it much and the case I’ve been using the most from them is the Paragon. Sheath does feel big in hand and it’s reason why I haven’t used it much but doesn’t mean it’s a bad case. Plenty of people still love it and even the cc button drops, it will be right back like before and people will be buying it to try. I’ve been leaning towards thinner styles and that’s why I’m drawn to the paragon.

Is Benks Prestige is still in your rotation?
 
The Owl has finally landed. It's not a bad case. The fit is pretty tight, buttons a little stiff, but okay, the CC button works but IMO it's crap :oops: I'm not sure if there is anything over the inside of the CC button or not?
Overall for an $18. beater, it's not that bad. Here are a few pics:

@Zensō does your Arc Pulse look tighter around the bezel on the top left looking at your screen? When I look at my phone (screen on) the top left leaves barely any screen bezel from the bumper and the top right shows more bezel and looks uneven. I’m assuming all of them do that?
 
Im thinking of ordering it via Amazon lol.
They got 15%off promo going on them now lol.

Also in two minds now re Tineeowl after reading your comments lol. Order is still live though.
Hopefully you will get a better CC button than the one I received.

Was going to order one from Amazon, but the date slipped, so I'm holding off for now.
 
Not a fan of the round action button on the Tineeowl.
Just looks odd to me.

Back in the Apple silicone again (Stone Grey today) after a couple of days in the Ringke Rugged.

And it really is like a fave pair of trainers, comfy.


Really only waiting for two other cases to try:
Black or red Sheath with cc button and some different colour buttons for it and the PR Gen 6 with cc button and tough Ultra camera ring with matching buttons. Will be my first Phone Rebel case!

I hadn’t noticed it, but yes it’s tighter on the upper left now that I look. This is only for my matte black, I don’t believe it’s like that on the graphite.

I did notice that how you install the part determines to a small extent how it sits on the phone. On YouTube people often seat it on one side then pry the other side on. This works, but in my experience the part is often slightly cockeyed if I do it this way. Now, I look from the front and slowly work the part down evenly on both sides. When I use this method it seems to seat more centered.
