I think I am going to go with Caudabe. I have been turned off Phone Rebel since the Orange Tough Ultra kit which is what I want has been out of stock for ages.

For those familiar with Caudabe cases, which would you say is the better case in terms of comfort in the hands and have a tight fit (I hate cases that are loose on the sides). The Paragon or the Sheath?

I had the Sheath a couple of years ago and I wasn't very fond of the sandpaper like feel of the case but I only tried it for a couple of hours I must admit, so maybe the feel of the case is something that takes getting used to.

If you didn’t like the Sheath texture in the past I wouldn’t recommend it now. Most people either love it or hate it.

I’d also warn against their cutout, which is uncomfortable. They’ve been promising CC button versions of their cases forever; they’re now saying end of April, but I wouldn’t bet money on it.

Whatever you decide, I feel you have to try various cases to see what works best for you. We’re all here stating our personal preferences, but you’ll never know what you’ll actually like until you try them yourself. That’s my $.02.

No that's true, it's all personal opinion. I just want to know which case to start with.

What case would you recommend for what I am looking for - feels nice & comfortable in the hand, high quality and good protection?

To start, maybe the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T, Apple Silicone, TineeOwl, or Phone Rebel Gen 6. These are all quite different but meet your criteria.

i added the magbak elite to the first post. they’ve finally added a cc button. it’s been one of my favorite cases except i didn’t like the cutout. i ordered one. my opinion on the cc button will be worthless as i haven’t seen one i don’t like. someone else will have to comment on it.

I just got one too and really like it, just wished they omitted the texture on the bottom of the case like the sheath, that texture isn’t as comfy on the bottom.

I have tineeowl too but the dusty lilac colour with the new cc button is not available for the 16 pro max for so long. Anyone knows where else to get it?

I’m a big fan of the MagSafe versions of the Ringke rugged & onyx cases. I find myself in these cases more often than most others I have.

Have they officially said end of April? Was trying to hold out but not sure I want to wait another month.

I know you’re not into those ring kickstands, but the Alles is very nice too.

Was going to order one until I saw this review over on Amazon :oops:

I don't think they sell these cases in the UK or Amazon UK.
That's the annoying thing sometimes about buying cases from the UK. A lot of case recommendations on here are only sold in the US, or shipping to the UK actually costs more than the actual case.

i don’t think magbak sells on amazon. i ordered last night and it already shipped. fedex has the package. ships from los angeles. i’m in la county so “should” get it tomorrow. i’ll post photos of button and give my opinion on the button for what it’s worth. at least i should be able to say what case has a comparable button.
