With Paragon you will get to keep your trousers on but will need sunglasses when looking at the back of that case to avoid damaging your eyes.
It’s true, mate. The Nomad Sport Case has a matte finish on the back, while the Caudabe Paragon has a glossy finish. Thanks for your response. I was trying to suggest a white Caudabe Paragon to an iPhone 15 Pro Max user who needed something similar to the Nomad White Sport Case, which Nomad discontinued shortly after its launch. I wanted to get opinions from more active users here than those in the iPhone 15 Pro case thread, which is why I lurk here as a 15 Pro user.
Currently, I use the Rifle Paper Co. Clear Garden Party Case, which is only a couple of quid (or 7 dollars) for one. However, they don’t have it for the iPhone 16 Pro yet if y’all 16 users are interested in it. It’s durable with high camera walls, subtly raised corners, and slim enough to fit in my pocket. It’s not as heavy as Caudabe’s clear cases.
@Hooterville is your man. He loves Nomad sport cases.
I don't love them that much. Trying to sell an extra Magma one right now.
Hey everyone, he’s a fan of these Nomad cases. Unfortunately, he’s selling them. By the way, does he have a white sport case? I have a user on the iPhone 15 cases thread with an iPhone 15 Pro Max in natural titanium who’s looking for a white one, but neither Nomad nor Amazon carries it anymore. Also, if you have any alternatives to Nomad sport cases that are available in white, please let me know and share the link here. Thanks a lot! 😊
I think it was @thatappleguytoday who was a Sport Case fan.

Oh yeah, he matches these cases with his black Apple Watch Ultra and the bands he has. He usually posts nomad cases and bands on the marketplace section. I’ll check for a white 15PM sport case that I need to forward a link to the iPhone 15 Pro Max user on the iPhone 15 case thread, @Detonation. Thanks a lot for the information, everyone! 😊
You know I used to love Caudabe cases but they are soooo thick now. If Benks and Pitaka can add magnets to the thinny thins and keep it svelte why are theirs so frikin bulky?
I love them so much that I had 3 of the Magma cases. Only 2 left and I'm keeping one.
I am not looking for one. Just hanging on to my RL in black.
😂 my bad I thought you were in need of some help finding a green case for your iPhone.

The Paragon isn’t glossy.
It’s a pearlescent matte finish. The texture is very similar to Nomad’s sport case but it’s definitely not glossy.
Nomad’s sport cases for the 15 series had a glossy finish
Oh man that is a beautiful case minus the awful cut out.
Dang, that guy mixed it up! 😂 He also kept joking that caudabe is thicker and denser, so thick that it’s like a heavy 🧱otter box case that weighs down your trouser pocket! @Sal09, you’re so funny, mate! But thanks for sharing your thoughts, sir!
It’s a gorgeous case. For this years case the tinny thin’s have been the best for me and from the comments many others here. Being a leather dude my entire life I keep coming back to my pitaka.

I was a Caudabe Sheath no questions asked guy. I was rocking the Sheath since iPhone 7 days. I loved it up until last year for the 15 lineup when they added the felt interior which created the MagSafe indent issue.
It doesn’t bother some people as they still love the Sheath but it made me personally fall out of love with it and I moved on to the Synthesis which was my case last year for my 15 Pro Max.
This year I did my usual and ordered the Sheath and Synthesis right away having the cases ready for launch day for the 16 Pro Max and I couldnt stand the camera control cutout plus the Synthesis this year got bulkier which I didn’t like.
I started trying these Pitaka/Benks thinny thins for the first time and at first I had to adjust but now I absolutely love them. They have also shifted my way of thinking about cases. I can’t see myself going back to Caudabe, they would just feel heavy and bulky to me now.
Any other case I’ve entertained this year being curious due to having the camera control button covered has been a fail for me as everything feels bulky and heavy and I just want to go back to my thinny thin. I’m all in with these and they will be my type of case from here on out for sure!
Knock Knock, who's there
that’s another one I never purchased
Me neither. I didn’t at all like the IP15 version, and read that this one was pretty much the same but with a cutout, so took a hard pass.
Really bro? Y’all had you heard about Phone Rebel’s iPhone cases? How good are they? They’re based on an Apple YouTuber named everythingapplepro. This guy is a big fan of iPhone drop tests and even designed some of his own cases. His videos were super popular in the 2010s, but he decided to focus more on his iPhone case brand after slowing down his video uploads. His videos mostly focus on testing the durability of iPhones, which inspired him to start his own case brand around 2015 or 2016. But he also does some iPhone speculation videos.
This year one good thing came out of this whole CC button saga is that YT reviewers are not to be trusted.
I personally have tried 2-3 cases all hyped by them and they were all shyt.
Do it yourself. Do not listen to anyone.
Not even @Hooterville (only kidding).
