Looking at picking up a Caudabe Synthesis for the 17 pro. Anyone that’s used it, does the frosted back or the black sides show a lot of fingerprints or get oily or greasy? Those are major no no’s for me.

Also, what are the sides made of it and what do they feel like? I love the feel of the black Otterbox Symmetry, the harder/smoother type of material, not silicone or anything like that. Is the Synthesis close?

Any major downsides I should know about? Thanks!
Zero fingerprints and smudges on the Synthesis back and sides.

Major downside for me is how thick and boxy it is. Completely disrupts the phone’s shape factor. Would definitely be the best case if it were a little rounded at the edges and a little shorter screen lip.
 
How’s Benks ArmorPro this year? I may wait for a discount though.

I had the Aurora and Prestige at the beginning of the cycle around September/October and the fit wasn’t great. It was warped in a few areas around the lip on both cases. I remember the same issue for the 16 Pro Max as well.

I saw a video from Tee a little while back and I believe he mentioned they revised the fit so might good now but don’t quote me.

I loved Benks last year (ArmorAir) but have lost interest in them now.
 
Got me some $60.00 Pleather 🤪

Pretty good! There’s a very slight warping at the camera button, but it’s very difficult to notice and no metal frame is visible. Interestingly, the buttons have a snugger fit and protrude less when compared to my Moonstone Paragon. New revision? 🤔
Thanks. Could be a revision, could be inconsistencies in manufacturing. I hate to be this negative, but I’ve had so many issues with their cases over the past couple of years that I’d assume it’s just poor quality control.
 
I am sure it's illusion - but that looks incredibly thin on the phone. I do like the pattern on back; breaks it up a little al be it not any different in hand to hold or harder to drop.
Not an illusion, I don’t know about incredibly thin but the Moft is not bulky at all. It’s very form fitting to the phone. Feels like the old Apple Leather case form. Been using mine for almost a month now and it’s still perfect, great case imo.
 
I know it’s a bit off topic but I just got a new iPad Pro 13” and looking to pick a good case for it. Do we know if there is a thread for that too? I searched in the search function but didn’t notice one?

Call me crazy, but the Tombogo version does feel a little thinner in the hand, even though it is 1 gram heavier.

The Moft is the sleeper case of the year. When I have the Moft on, I have no desire to change cases.

I also like the Moft Case. I was using the Navy Blue before I got my caudabe cases. The Problem is that I am using a Magsafe Holder in my Car and the Popsocket when I am at home. It will leave a fine mark after a while. That`s why I also can`t use Leather Cases myself even if I would really like them.
