Just ordered a TineeOwl in Almost Black for my 16 Pro, it arrives Thursday. I like my Sheath (non-CC button version), but for 20 bucks I figured I'd give the Owl a try. The sides look a little more rounded than the Sheath, which should make it easier to pick up off flat surfaces, and I think I'll like the extra grip on the sides compared to the Sheath.
I'm not sure I'll like the CC button - I prefer cases with just the cutout because they leave the button more recessed and less likely to be accidentally activated, but I'm willing to be proven wrong so we'll see. No big deal if the Owl ends up in a drawer, I've wasted $20 on much sillier things than that.

You’ll be very happy with your purchase if you’re a fan of the sheath 👍
Hey all, anyone got a recommendation for a white iPhone 16 Pro case? Must have MagSafe. I don't want leather/fake leather, and I don't want the type of soft silicone that catches lint etc (like Apple's silicone case), I like plasticy feeling stuff e.g Rhinoshield, Mous etc (though I've tried those both - Rhino I hate as on the white case you can see the MagSafe grinning through, Mous the light case was too 'off white' for me, I'm not a fan of creamy/beige whites. Needs to be a nice clean white/even with a hint of blue/grey.
Just seen that Tineeowl did a navy blue case for the 15 series. Shame they didn’t do this for the 16! Would have been the case of all cases for me I think
Ah sorry I should have added, I tried that and returned it, the dark coloured edges didn't do it for me.
Cancelled again?
I wonder how smoothly it'll run when they get the UK warehouse up and running
New Owl in today 
after being in the Sheath for the past week or so, this Owl feels so much nicer in the hand
Have no idea why I got rid of the first Owl I had months ago

$18.99 Owl vs $52.00 CC Sheath - Who ya Got?
The Owl looks so much better than the Sheath
The TO wins. If they developed a decent website and social media presence, they could really put the hurt on Caudabe.
Think they’re doing a pretty good job of that on their own at the moment 😂
The only thing better on the Sheath are the buttons. The Owl blows the Sheath away on every level, except the buttons.
The CC button on the Sheath is starting to get shiny along the edges, I don't like that

So pretty!!!
I have been using my variety of silicone colors.. peony was used for two months. Decided to throw my black one on for a neutral look 😎
Agreed. The TO should add those buttons for next year and charge an additional $5-$10. It would be a sheath killer at that point.The only thing better on the Sheath are the buttons. The Owl blows the Sheath away on every level, except the buttons.

I like Sheath’s black colour tone more than TineeOwl. Darker the better.
