Ive sussed wtf Caudabe are doing over there. Basically they are penalising customers who have ordered multiple cases in one order.

When Midnight becomes available Ruby is out of stock so they push that order down the chain and ship Midnight to customers who only ordered Midnight.

And when Ruby becomes available Midnight is out of stock as they have already shipped them out.

No wonder peeps who placed orders recently are getting their shipments.

Just received an email from them Ruby is no longer on pre orders but guess what they have no stock of Midnight. So by the time Midnight becomes available they will have exhausted all Ruby stock.

There is no first come first serve situation. Its all a big fat lie.

They dont want to sit on inventory which is understandable but they need to be upfront with their customers.

Ali X fake leather with CC button. Appears lighter in the pics than it is and the ring around the CC button isn’t as light as it looks

CC button works perfectly, slim, good buttons, very plastic feeling as you can imagine. £7.50. Bargain.

Just received mine in black. Indeed plasticky feeling, but it imitates leather quite successfully and I like it in terms of looks.

However, the buttons, especially the power button, are hard to press and the case is creaky at the sides and bottom corners as if the bezel rubs against the sides which lack lining. Have you had the same experience?

Overall, despite the cheap price (7,5 euros) I don’t think I’d buy it again.

Nice!

Buttons, yeah they were a tad stiff but I just pressed them in and out a few times with no phone in the case and they’re fine now
 
Already tried working on the buttons with no phone in the case. Not much improvement. I’ll try again. How about the creaks? Have you noticed any? Especially in bottom corners.

I forgot to say that the cc button works just fine for me, but is quite hard to press because it is recessed.

No creaking at all for me. My CC button is completely flush with the case too

Mine is too. It’s just that it feels narrower than say the original silicone case and harder to press it, requiring more force. Other than the buttons, I really like the looks of the case and the right amount of grip. It’s staring to grow on me and I’m going to keep using it until the caudabe 🤬 cases arrive.

Can you share the link to the seller you got it from?

I got it from the same store. Your power button looks a bit different though. This is mineIMG_0351.jpeg
Got it.

Love it. Prefer it to my stone one. A very dark grey in daylight.

CC button didn’t work initially (to press). Pushed it out the case and refit it and it’s fine now 👍
Just got myself one too. Very difficult to order if you’re outside the US or UK. This thread is a disaster for my wallet😁
 
If anyone in the UK wants a Stone Tineeowl for the 16 Pro that I’ve used for a week, PM me. £20, posted.
