Caudabe Sheath. Excellent fit especially the camera full coverage.

My first real leather case. Literally. Haven’t owned one before since I’ve always used silicone or plasticity cases. Feels incredible. It’s also very soft and not as slippery as being naked. I got fed up with using a naked phone after I got a scratch on the glass back for no apparent reason. I’ve been babying my device since I got it and it still got scratched. So cases it is!

I also ordered a grip of silicone, Apple branded cases. Can’t wait for those to arrive later this week.


Edit: got my charcoal grey “apple” case.

I gave my friend my red one. I noticed it’s his favorite color. Plus his XR is red too and it’s his first iPhone he chose a really interesting time to join on board; he’s been talking about the s10 I hope he sticks.

I don’t mind the chinese clones - if you can even call them that. They feel really incredible. My phone has become a fidget. The texture is so soft and snooth. It’s really nice. These are my first time using silicone as I’ve always gone naked or used a polypropylene type thin case as what you would find at totallee. I paid between 5.99 - 7.99 for these it beats the $40 nearly what you would pay in store I don’t think I’ll ever buy retail again I’m sorry but you start to realize how insane a $34 logo is.

View attachment 821363

do you - or anyone - happen to know....
Is this sold in stores or only through Caudabe's web site?

Want one for new iPhone XR arriving Friday.
I've searched the web....Amazon, Apple Stores etc. even Caudabe's own site where they say it's sold at stores, but don't give any indication as to which or where.
I'm in Los Angeles

Got the OtterBox Statement Modern from Apple today. At first i thought this is just too big after using the Sheath. But the protection is there i wouldn't trust the Sheet in a drop.
But its growing on me and is actually a really nice feeling case to hold and a great fit. Better than the Symmetry for the Max i had.
If i had to pick anything mute switch is a bit deep as its a bit wider case than the Symmetry.
Leather back is really nice to hold and smells real.
Buttons good
Bottom doesn't interfere with swiping up
Not too bad to get off
Leather seams into the rubber sides perfect not like Nomad i have tried

I was going to return and rang Apple they said keep it and did a refund, thank you $69.95Aud case for free.
The back looks ok with the White XR too.

Anyone recommend any more grippy cases?

I have the presidio grip. It’s too bulky. I have the Caudabe Sheath but I dislike the colour and can’t find the cobalt blue one in the UK (not prepared to pay shipping and import fees).

All I want is a case that shows the blue or is a similar blue to the Xr and is grippy. I bought day after launch and I’m still struggling to find that combination.

What colour? Case makes are really lacking imo, they just cant get a case right no matter who it is.
If you want to see the colour you need a clear case right?
The Caudabe lucid clear is excellent except it's a bar of soap, worse than no case.

I have the dark blue one. And I’m all honesty I don’t find it that grippy.

The cobalt blue is much closer to the blue of the phone but I can’t find it in the UK.

I’d love a clear case with rubber strips like the presidio grip.

If you like the silicone feel, maybe look at the Miracase Liquid Silicone?

I briefly had the Speck Presidio Grip and found it feeling too "wide" compared to my other cases. The Miracase feels more "silicony" with more of a bounce to the feel but not as wide as the Presidio Grip. The sides are rounded and feels comfy in my hands, especially for longer phone use sessions. I've never owned the Apple Silicone case, but the Miracase is like the Apple Silicone case but protected from all sides.

After I got the Miracase Liquid Silicone, I stopped looking for cases for my XR.

I do have the Caudabe Sheath and its a fine case. The slimness is a bit of a double edge sword. I love how slim it feels...but the sides feel like there's a more of an "edge" to the corner, which digs into my hands and not as comfy for longer sessions.

I kinda gave up on looking for a clear case with good grip for my XR. I have the Ringke Fusion for when I want to see the color..but the grip really varies with the condition of my hands. If there was a clear case with rubbery/ribbed sides, I'll be interested..but not really holding my breath for it.

I have a Red Sheath and I ordered a Lucid Clear. I will say that the Red is a little brighter than I wanted. They offered to exchange it for me but I decided to keep it anyway. The grip is much improved over that of the Sheath for my old iPhone 7. The old one held up so well that I had to buy one for my XR. I also read that the Lucid Clear is pretty slick but I ordered one anyway. Never really a fan of clear cases but decided to get one since I bought the red XR.

I don’t know if I’ll ever buy another case other than Caudabe. For being as low profile as they are, they offer great protection from my experience over the last 2.5 years

Mujjo Monaco blue leather case.

Have been using it for about 2 weeks now. I’ve owned it since December but didn’t use it because I was trying out other cases. When I first used it the fit was kinda loose.. but now the case has molded to the design of the phone and it is simply awesome

Do you find the leather a bit sticky? What about the sides do they taper to near 0 on the bottom? I have the black.

Yep like a bar of soap, the phone has more grip with no case, returned mine.

The only thing i don't like about the sheath is the case comes away from the sides easily, the Mujjo i have is solid.
I do like how the black sheath make my white XR totally black on the back, full camera coverage, hard to find in a case.

I’m actually shopping for some more colors, thinking Olive, tan and a red case. I’ve heard of the tapering bottom issue on other brands but with my Mujjo it does cover the phone completely from top to bottom thankfully.

Regarding the stickiness, over time my case has grown to be very soft and sticky. It feels almost as if my phone has an organic “skin”. I’ve never used a leather case until now and I can see the reason why this kind of case is enjoyed because it evolves overtime.

In all honesty, I’m not crazy about the color either. The case is just very well made. I should have gone with black. Like I said, they offered me a replacement and I really didn’t want to go through the hassle. I should have known better than to order the red but hindsight is always 20/20.
