I went ahead and joined the Caudabe party. Picked up a gray sheath to go with natural titanium. I wanted a clear case, but it doesn't seem like there are many good options yet.

Am I the only one who misses this case? Never had to worry about battery life, especially on trips

Which ESR ones are these? I found them.

Sal are these the ones you got?

Just ordered, hopefully something will work. Already have the Torras and the Spigen will be here tomorrow. These on Sunday. Guess Armorite is better than the Spigen ones?

I ended up going with the Speck Presidio2 Grip, in Coastal Blue / Dust Grey. It arrives today.

I had this case on my XS (in both black/grey and blue/grey) and really liked it. I went with the Caudabe Sheath on my 13 Pro, it's been a good case but I don't like the square sides as well as the rounded sides on the Speck - it makes it easier to grip/pick up the phone, especially when it's laying flat on a surface. The Speck also gives me a more positive grip on the phone when holding/using it, and on top of it all, I like the look of the Speck better.

They're both good, well-fitting, durable cases and I'd be happy to use the Sheath if the Speck wasn't available. But since it is, the Sheath loses out this time.

I only used 1 from last years armorite series and it still looks brand new a year later...this is why I went ESR again
And no negative impact on brightness, etc.? The 92% light transmission bit gave me pause. I'm sure this is the case to some extent with all of them. Just haven't used one in a very long time.
