No offense, as obviously that’s a problem, but you clearly got a lemon. You’ve also posted it multiple times across multiple threads, so while I’m sure your intentions are good to let people know, just know that your experience isn’t indicative of Caudabe cases in general.

Not to mention, Caudabe’s customer service has always been top notch for me as well as many other people. I’ve had multiple cases replaced over the years for issues and it’s always no questions asked.

For what it’s worth, I had the Synthesis on my 12 Pro Max for 5 to 6 months with zero issues and I had no hesitation ordering it again for my 13 Pro Max.
Really there was someone else posted photos on here too, and Technically Tee had same problem see his post above.
There is another one coming which I don't need now so will see how easy it comes apart and let you know :)

See @Midnite8 post

Yeah I have them here, probably get to them next week. Unfortunate because I don't think any of them are MagSafe but I realize everyone doesn't charge via MagSafe.
I have the Ringke fusion magsafe, I like everything about it, but lol, only issue I have had is the little white piece came out when I took the phone out, it's recessed in and the plastic is very sharp around that piece, bit concerned it might scratch the phone over time. Have stoped using it will probs return it.
Interested see how you go.

I HUNGER
I picked up the Totallee clear soft case for my 13PM. Decent protection and nice and thin.

Looks like a good case. I got something almost identical but with a ring stand build in flush. Cost about 13 bucks on Amazon. I expect it will color over time, but for that price I can accept a little bit of yellowing. I'm not a fan of hard cases. Much prefer the soft cases.

Apple logo on the brown looks similar to mine, in that it doesn’t look to have been stamped with enough pressure. The logo is pretty much flush with the back of the case, and not imprinted like others I’ve had. Running a finger over it I can barely feel it.
Actually, looking at my old 12 pro case, it looks worse, and nothing like the pick on the box. I don’t have a pic of the golden brown box, so will check it when I get home later today.

Felt the logo on my green case, it’s definitely more pronounced compared to my golden brown case. In saying that, I prefer the feel of my golden brown case, feels more like a soft leather compared to my green case, feels a bit plasticy.

Don’t know what’s up with my camera, first photo colors are way off lol.

Especially at 95 bucks lol, will probably get a nomad and that’s it for me.
Absolutely lol.

I’m having a break, will buy another apple case when they release some new colors like they always do.

Hopefully a sexy light or dark blue leather case for this sierra blue bad boy.

iPhone Pro Max 13 with Ringke Fusion Magnetic Matte+Clear

Love this case! Originally got the Apple Clear one and it was awful. Thick, slippery and a fingerprint magnet.

The matte background of the Ringke case means no fingerprints while still showing off the pretty phone. Also, the grip is much better because of the matte texture on the back.

Sorry about the pics, they were taken with my vintage iPad 4th Gen 😂

Great cases by Caudabe this year. Sheath fits the 13P so well and snug. Very close to the spigen screen protector mind!

Looking for cases that are fairly minimal, except with one bright pop of color as a highlight.

This case below is a great example, but all the reviews say the back is too slippery so I can't get this exact one unfortunately!

The color comes off of those cases easily and the phone didn’t fit in it well for the iPhone 12.

Damn. I see, yeah that's a no go then.

Do you know any other case makers who would to a better job with fit & finish? I do like this two-tone look, but I don't want to sacrifice functionality purely for aesthetics.

Spigen cases seem to hold up decently for the price. Caudabe are the most indestructible cases I’ve ever had, but I don’t always love the grit texture of them.

Blue Jay is the King.
Yep, but when you feel the lint and dust on the back of case every time, it turns into a prince lol.

Liking the golden brown leather case the most so far.

Apple, please release a baltic blue leather case for the 13 series. 😩
