Attached are some photos of the blue. It’s a very nice case, feels very good in hand and fix the phone superbly. That said, for over $50, I don’t see it. Caudabe has consistently raised prices and it just seems the product stays the same.

I do have the black version showing up on Monday, so I do hope I like that one more

Nice, thank you for the pics. How wonderful is the CC button?

I don’t find the button to be any different than most others. It functions just is fine as the spigen buttons, tineeowl, rebel And all the others

It’s a very nice case and the overall buttons work very well also. But it’s just not a $50 case in my opinion.

I haven’t dropped a phone in years. That changed yesterday when I dropped my 16PM in a Caudabe Sheath from head height. Cracked the upper right corner of my screen protector.

Thankfully the phone is ok, but now I’m looking for a more protective case. What’s the best middle-heavyweight case currently available?

I would say the phone rebel gen6 ultra. In my opinion, it is the next level upwards in terms of protection.

However, in your case, I would be happy with the sheath as it served its purpose. The fact that the screen protector cracked has very little to do with the case as I see it. It could happen with any case depending on the drop.

The case has done its job, the screen protector has done its job.

You surely don’t need a case to protect your screen protectors 🫨

I have the older rebel gen6 without cc button, and I do like it a lot. Unfortunately I didn’t bring it with me on this trip to Taiwan.

I see a lot of Supcases, UAG’s and Otterboxes here, but mostly clear polycarbonate style cases from brands I’m not familiar with. Also lots of wallet cases.
 
I’m headed to Disney in a few weeks. I will be using my Gen 6 as my primary case. Might put a MagSafe grip for extra security but I’m very comfortable that the case is protective enough

It’s funny you say that because I was at Disney for Memorial Day, because I just knew it would protect my phone against anything. Dropped my phone at Epcot and it shattered my screen protector.

Sounds like you need a case to protect those protectors 😂😂

I presume the case held up well outside of that? I actually have the camera ring stand for it, so I just might keep that on and use that as the grip.

Already out of the blue sheath. Will be contacting Caudabe tomorrow to initiate a return.

Nice case, but not a $50 case. If anyone is interested, im not opposed to selling it prior to return.

The Paragon is a much more premium feeling case IMO

That didn't last long, was it the color or something else? Don't you have a black one on the way also?

Black one will be here tomorrow.

Honestly- I struggle with the idea that the case was $50+ when the tineeowl is only $19. The only difference being the buttons.

Unfortunately in Amazon Uk we have only purple colour 😡
