Here’s some photos to show you. The first photo literally is what happened after the first time I popped it on it’s so flimsy.

This photo was my wife’s after literally owning it for a couple weeks. Caudabe gave us our money and we swore off those cases. Sheath is the best Caudabe case in my opinion.

Also a worthy mention the lucid clear is like a bar of soap in the hands lol

I swore off the lucid clear plus not a fan of clear cases anyway because they are fingerprint magnets anyway be careful with the lucid clear when popping it on and off. The tiny pieces of plastic around the volume buttons and power buttons crack so easily it’s ridiculous.

What’s wrong with the Sheath by the way?

Think the texture on the side and back feels cheap. The fit is quite loose around the volume and power buttons, nowhere near as sturdy as the Apple silicone case. The back of the case is thicker than I was expecting. Not a fan of the wrap around lip either, as I’m used to the Apple leather and silicone cases and like seeing the band colour around the front of the phone.

I love the feel of the Lucid Clear, I’m used to trying soft TPU clear cases that feel cheap and flimsy. The cutout buttons is a nice touch as well. Thanks for the heads up regarding the plastic around the buttons.

I was enjoying my green Sheath until I put a Flolab edge to edge screen protector on. Sheath pushes the Flolab up on all 4 corners.

Flolab works fine with the Apple clear case, both the Bullstrap & Andar leather cases and the frosted black Phone Rebel. I liked the Sheath but like the Flolab screen protector better.

Sheath is too heavy this year and well known sides are not firm from previous years and hasn't changed.

I just received and subsequently returned the Pitaka MagEz Pro for iPhone 13 Pro Max to Amazon. Within a few minutes of casual use the case showed a lot of smudges. Too much for me.

My black frosted 13 Pro Phone Rebel case has started creaking and/or squeakin. Very strange……any time I handle it by a corner it shrieks in terror lol.

Anyone else have a creaky Phone Rebel case? I had the Flex on my 12 Pro Max and don’t remember that one being noisy.

Yup. Mine was creaky from day 1 but I think it’s gotten worse.

Whew, thanks, thought it was just me. They‘re usually pretty responsive when emailing, but I emailed them a few days ago about the creaky case and no response yet.

Creaking would indicate gaps between the case & phone? Maybe some folded up tissue or cotton bud felt tips could be used to fill in the gap.

Just gotto work out where the gaps are.

Anyone have pictures of the camo green Caudabe sheath? I ordered one on a whim for my graphite 13 Pro and I’d love to see some IRL pics of it.

Consequently, I acquired the Incipio Grip Series case. It has what I need in a case. Decent surface finish and terrific side design. I am confident that it will not slip when I have it in hand.
