Would anyone with a caudabe sheath be about to show what the inside of the camera control is like? Does it have exposed pins orrubber proctor over it?

For those of you who use cases with the camera plateau exposed, do you use some sort of skin or cover to protect the area from scratches?

I have just purchased the Caudabe Frosted Synthesis and I am a bit nervous using this case since it doesn't cover the camera plateau like the Sheath does. Also, any skin or cover recommendations that I could buy to ease my nerves?
 
So very pleased with the unboxing experience of this Caudabe case. Good first impression with quality packaging.

Case feels nice in the hand. I’m thinking this will feel less slippery as time goes on. But don’t get me wrong, it’s no bar of soap that’s for sure.

It’s the first case I’ve protected the camera lenses as well so I shall see how I get on with that.

A good start indeed on the first Caudabe journey.

I could never get on with the Sheath despite the case clearly being very good. The rough, sandpaper like feel just doesn't seem to like my hands lol.

Yes I use a matt camera plateau film to protect mine. There are plenty available on amazon and on AliExpress. The latter you can get for a few quid and get like 5 in a pack. If you got a 17 Pro. I got spares if you likes.

I have used a bunch and these work out pretty good. I have to install a new one as that Symmetry case also jacked up my plateau protector which I just peeled off the other day. These are 17PM ones.

So you remove it quiet often and install a new one? I am guessing you can't use it on top of a case that has the camera plateau covered like the Sheath?

They don't sell the one you linked on Amazon UK. Amazon UK have very few good options actually, they have those heavy duty covers that go over the camera lens.

Should be getting new Apple cases soon! Hoping for next week with all of the product releases. Anyone hoping for any specific colors? I personally am hoping to see an olive green silicone or a midnight blue techwoven.
 
Midnight blue will be barely any different to the current blue
I feel like it’s a big difference from the current blue. The current blue is a lot lighter and a different blue shade than a midnight/navy blue. One of the reasons why I ended up returning haha. It is spring time though so I think chances of the getting this darker blue is unlikely.
