Received a replacement caudabe Sheath and man it’s nice when there is a perfect fit! Favorite case right now.
Which color? I recently got a gray Sheath and it bulges out a bit on both sides near the buttons. There seems to be some variation on fit with these - many ppl report a perfect fit, but others have some issues.
 
I got my Mous Infinity MagSafe Case for the 12 ProMax on Saturday and I'm pretty disappointed. Fingerprints everywhere, it's very slippery, the cutouts are wrong for the bottom speakers, debris gets in somehow as well. I've never tried the Apple clear Mag-Safe case but all I've heard about is how slippery it is - I can't imagine it's any worse than the Mous. Ironically, I was most worried about how well Apple's MagSafe Wallet would adhere to the magnet and that is actually very good. But, yeah, I'll use this every once in a while but it's back to the Apple leather case for me.

That stinks. Especially for that price!!

Yep, the case is mighty slippery, symmetrical cutouts and makes the 12PM wide as a semi truck. The tight fit and perfect buttons with changeable colors are things I like. The case is a tank and I feel very safe with my phone inside of it.

I think if I had the Pro I’d try them. I like the idea of the bumper. But with the Max it’s just too wide for me, and I have big hands.

It’s the Ocean blue. One of the corners did not have a tight fit. They asked me to send pics and then based on that sent me a replacement. Great CS!

Are there slits between the volume buttons? Does debris get in that way as well?

The volume buttons are pretty well sealed up. The debris I'm seeing is in the back all around the Apple logo and MagSafe magnets. My guess is it's getting in through the camera opening.

Well I’m in the office soon and I got the Smartish wallet slayer v2 before Christmas so I can hold my work ID and I don’t think I’ve posted it here.

I’m happy with it but it doesn’t wow me. It simply does a good job. It’s easily to hold, good grip and fits very well.

The colour is a nice blue though, I’ll give them that. It is one of my top cases but my recent additions have meant this has taken the back seat.

I’ll certainly keep this for what it’s intended, for work in the office- not at home. I think the WFH situation hasn’t helped this case remain a top pick.

I originally bought the ocean blue sheath and it fit perfectly without issue. I later ordered the gray and it had the slightly bulging, mushy feeling sides. I emailed Caudabe and the sent out a replacement for the gray one today - since it's coming USPS I should have it anywhere between the end of this week and the end of March, but we'll see if it has the same issue, or if it has a perfect fit like the ocean blue I've got.

Mous never fails to disappoint :(
 
Yep, I think some shipments are being delayed for odd reasons. My black Nomad for the mini has been delayed since 02/23 with no sign of getting to me anytime soon.
Magsafe version? They say 5 days to Australia, can't see it myself.
 
It is slightly thicker. Doesn't really feel like much of a real world difference on my iPhone 12 Pro. I actually like the feel of the Synthesis better than the Sheath.
I just got the gray and navy Synthesis today that I ordered via Amazon. So far, I really like it. I agree that I prefer the feel of it to the sheath. Fit is great and I don't think it adds a noticeable amount of bulk over the Sheath or any of the other cases I have.

Looks to be a winner that will make it into the rotation and may replace the sheath.

Glad you like it. How’s the navy? Care to post any pics? I almost ordered that one today. I’m still using my grey synthesis on my 12 Pro. Still loving it.

Wow! Another case I’m going to have to try. That texture looks really nice along with the color.
