I think so too.Thanks for the insight, I think the same thing. They seemed to have evolved the cases quite a bit?
I remember the one for my 7 being slim and had a nice matted effect.
Found this one to be bulky and horrible to hold.

I was.. lol! I still do like the older SB cases from Apple. This years case just doesn’t have that feeling I’m looking for, doesn’t fit well and feels like plastic. For the price, I feel like I’m getting way less product. No offense to current and future Apple leather case owners, I had just about every color for my 11 pro and have the SB and red Apple leather cases for my se2.Gee that's taken a battering already lol, shame you were a big SB fan.
Have the nomads buttons loosened up bit?
I have a black apple coming Monday but doubt i will be keeping it, 4 days for a case 6 hours drive away.
That was the standard delivery time. I paid a $1.56 to get "expedited" and it should arrive next month.That's weird.. mine was already sent out.
But i went with the black Mini, might be different for other models and colors
I wonder as to why the scratches are happening!? I just received mine, fits nice and I can manage the slick grip but your scratches issue is what worries me. Care to throw some light?tbh it's too wide for my liking, especially having used the apple silicone cases for the first few days before getting the rhinoshield, AND its very slippery. not much grip. if you have longer fingers then the wideness wouldnt be a problem. I wanted to really like these as ive rocked these for previous iphones but i guess i gotta find a new daily. just updated my original post to say it also left a bunchhhhh of scratches on the sides of my phone. ugh.
Got my Sheath.
It's the first time I have had one since my iPhone 7 and I don't like it. It's so grainy compared to how they used to be, almost borderline rough? The sides don't find snug on the phone either; the Apple leather case fit a lot better. £28.00 for these cases used to be well worth it, not anymore IMO.
Also it's quite a bit chunkier than the leather case.
So it's going back.
I contacted Caudabe this morning. They are running a new batch and sending me a new one. Here is an excerpt from their email. This is great becuase I do not want any other case, I've used and loved the Sheath since 2014.Just chiming in to echo your sentiments about the Sheath. It was the first case I put on my 12 Pro Max this morning after picking it up from Apple, and I immediately noticed the fit was awful. It doesn’t “snap” onto the phone the way Caudabe cases always have. It almost feels like the case isn’t deep enough for the phone.
Needless to say, it’ll be going back. And my disappointment with Caudabe is twofold because they informed me on Twitter that they have no plans to make the Synthesis for the 12 Pro Max. Not really sure what their thinking there is, but it came straight from the horse’s mouth.
Right now I’m using a case from Best Buy that really similar to the Meifigno cases from Amazon that I’ve always liked. I’ve still got a black Nomad case coming, too.
I’ve tried the Apple Leather case and silicone case, and while I like them, they’re not really speaking to me. I’m hoping the Nomad works out, because no other cases I’ve tried so far have been as good as this Best Buy case.

"our engineering team discovered that there may be minor issues for a small batch of Sheaths. This can sometimes happen during a new generation of iPhones where the shape changes dramatically (as it did this year). We're already making another batch now that completely resolves any issue, and those should be ready within the next 1-2 weeks"
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll shoot them an email as well and hopefully get the issue resolved. Caudabe has always had fantastic customer service, and I’m glad to see that’s continuing.
Same with my 12PM Navy Sheath, and got the same response from Caudabe (they were very quick on that turnaround!).Same thing happen with mine. Waiting for replacement. The Veil fits like a glove. Hopefully the replacement sheath will be the same.

If it was a "small batch" issue, I wonder if it was color specific?
Either way, I'm hopeful they'll make it right.
Only Navy sheaths are impacted all other colours are fine.
Mine is gray and also affectedExcept mine is black and affected as well. So, no.
where did you get the knock off?
