Geez give @gagee a break!

Latest Caudabe interaction...

Placed an order on Saturday (Precise Sheath). Tried to cancel it a day later (accidentally ordered the wrong one). Two days later (Monday) it ships. Just had an email off Caudabe, apologizing for the "delay" in cancelling the order (wasn't even that bad, was expecting a week for a response). They have issued a full refund and told me I can keep it as it's already shipped. Really wouldn't have minded just sending it back.

I know a lot of us have been quick to criticize Caudabe, but when they get it right, they get it right.

Out of curiosity, which case did you order to get it to ship so quick?

Precise Sheath for 17 Pro in Eucalyptus. I'm in the UK and it seems to have shipped from the new UK warehouse (tracking shows UK Royal Mail only), so that might be why. Also I think Eucalyptus is probably the least popular colour choice for the Sheath, haven't seen anybody mention they've ordered one or post any pics.
 
Tinee Owl and Rebel Air in this morning.

Tinee is not good. I know it’s under $20, but the fit is not remotely like my 16 pro max version was. Being returned.

Rebel Air is a different story. Very impressed for a $20 piece of plastic. Fit is top notch, magnets are good, the only bit that’s mediocre are the buttons. Greatly impressed and keeping it.
Yeah I’m loving my Air 2… been rocking it since I got it a week or so ago. Initially the buttons are stiff like you said, but they break in with use! Great case all around, especially for the price point!
 
Anyone recommend a case I can get off Amazon for the blue Pro Max? Love Caudabe but want a case ASAP.
I think this case looks great, Cheap and quick delivery from Amazon



I had it on an orange Pro Max and it looked great, I'd imagine the same on Blue with a black matte

The ultra-slim sunset. So i was taking a risk with how little protection there is....however the exposed sides were fine, it was the bottom corner that took the hit. I was adjusting my shoulderbag with my phone in my hand and dropped the phone - so the damage was expected but still :(
Off topic but wonder if it was titanium if it would have dented.

Anyone got the Nudient bold case?

I've used the Nudient on other iphones previously and it is rather slippery. Mine have also gotten very sticky and gross after use
 
Arc Pulse finally in the house 😄 😎.
It's very nice and only 15 grams!
I'm just need to use to that top part of Arc overlapping top frame of the phone - I mean this:

In previous versions Arc and top frame of the phone was in one line.

How’s the fit on the bottom? Unlike last year, where the bottom piece could have been tighter, this year it is too tight. It goes on, but not all the way, and even when using considerable force it leaves a gap that collects detritus. I only just noticed this yesterday and I’m a bit disappointed. Hopefully yours fits more precisely.

Oh 😄, I just mentioned this too. Exact same corner is little bit off, but here is not that obvious.
What about top part? Do you also have overlap over top frame?

Yes, I have the overlap at the top. That seems to be part of the design, whereas the gap at the bottom seems to be a defect. On mine, if you look closely where the arrow is pointing, you can see a decent sized air gap between the silicone lining and the phone, perfect for collecting junk.

It’s been a tough year for cases. So far the only cases that’s I’ve tried that have a clean, precise fit are the Apple and Beats.
 
Thanks you just saved me AUD$105

I ordered the new Pitaka Glints of Gold in lucid blue though. Look forward to getting it.

They should have kept the Pitaka branding on the top side corner like all the other ones this year instead of slapping it on the bottom back.

Nonetheless a very nice color and design! I’m loving my Milky Way one. Looking forward to seeing your photos of this one!

In my case is not that bad and normally I can't mentioned it. I can live with it. The fit is definitely more tight.
I'm happy that when I remove bottom part, I can use battery pack 😄.

Ok my Bellroy Innovera case is here for my Air.

It's a bit slimmer and lighter than my Torro case and feels great as well. Buttons do stick out a bit mind and the camera control button seems to be working fine.

There is a tiny lip protection for the screen and just enough thickness for the camera bump as well.

Also the bottom of the phone covered slightly better than the Torro.

I'll give it a few days to see how I get on with it.
