Lmao! Nah nah not yet. My sheath package will be here tomorrow so I’m sure it will be off by then. I’ll do a quick review on it because I mean all the aspects are great but still not sure if it’s worth it.
Its a shame Caudabe do not have an official reseller in UK. The costs add up by the time it clears customs etc.
Would love to get my hands on one though. As per usual looking forward to your review video.

Nice pic! I think it's great. I've got the Aramid Fibre version on both my 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max at the moment 😀. Published my 13 Pro Max review a bit ago...13 Pro review yet to come. Not as soft in the hand as the Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro, or as slim, but probably a lot more durable and protective in a fall.

I dropped my Pitaka case with my 11 Pro several times and it held up great. I love their products. I ordered the MagEZ 2 and the new MagEZ Car Mount Pro.

As a side, does anyone’s non-Apple brand case make the mag safe charging circle pop up when you slide the phone in the case? It didn’t do that with my Pitaka case but does when I slide my phone in my wife’s 13 Pro Max silicon case.

The Silicone is def not worth the price but not a bad case. Just like anything from Apple, your paying a premium. That said, for 10 bucks more I would personally opt for the leather for the more premium feel and of course those tactile buttons. But some would argue the leather isn't what it used to be and possibly the Silicone is the better option. To each their own I guess.

This is a common issue with these cases. Just exchange it until you get one that fits properly. Not once has mine budged so much as a hair; perfect fit, solid feel, clicky chamfered buttons and the open face of the case allows a sliver of the stainless to shine through. Beautiful.
Yeah?

I've never had the issue prior to my now old iPhone 12 Pro Max, and I've had the leather cases for each gen where available.

I'll try contact Apple and see what they can/will do. We have no Apple stores here, and contacting their support is always such a hassle and takes a huge amount of time to actually get something resolved. Fingers crossed it'll work out then.

Yeah that’s a shame for sure and I’m going to ask about that since I do speak to them pretty frequently. I already dropped the review on the Sheath! I never like posting my own links in here though lol.

It started last year with the 12 series. There's a huge thread of people that had the issue. I had a black leather last year and never had it. I have Midnight this year and it fits perfectly.

I just picked up a midnight leather apple case, and it definitely fits much tighter than the iPhone 12 version. I don’t see this one popping off.

I like the color of the golden brown, but I’m just not willing to risk a nasty patina that looks crummy. The lighter apple leather cases tend to wear poorly.

I was so disappointed that they had gotten rid of the midnight blue but having had the Midnight for a few weeks now I've really grown to love the color. It's basically how the old midnight blue looked after it had six+ months of patina. My one wish would be the buttons being a little more blue.

Just trying a bunch of cases as they come in. Torras hard snap on case and I’m liking this one. The back actually doesn’t show that many smudges, phones doesn’t move around in this type case, pretty solid.

I think that's the case that I just bought (should be here this weekend). Is it the TORRAS Slim Fit? Do you think the case will scratch the stainless steel band as the phone goes in and out of the case?

I have seen on the Nomad website the Sport case has been marked out of stock for every colour on the Pro models, is there a reason why? I was waiting for the marine blue to become available

Yep that’s it. Hmmmm I’m not sure but it’s something to think about for sure when you have these hard plastic cases like this. Would def like a little more grip but it’s not too terrible.

Anyone try the Lifeproof See Magsafe?

It looks like a slightly thinner Otterbox Symmetry with more TPU on the sides. Between Aneu and Symmetry

I have one arriving tomorrow just to see. Hopeful the tpu isn’t flimsy. I do like the plainness and the lack of branding

I know someone in the Caudabe thread mentioned they had one coming, but does anyone have a Sierra Blue with the Grey Caudabe Sheath they could post a picture of?

Well crap. I spoke too soon. My apple leather case felt more snug, but I just took it out of my pocket and found a corner popped out. Hopefully it just wasn’t pushed in hard enough. I’ll see how it does over the next week.

I checked on your youtube channel before a few hours to check if you had a review for the torras lineup this year, to check this specific case 😂

1 question. On the third photo the top side of the case looks a bit curled. Is it curled or i am not seeing correctly?

Also could you post some photos of the front pls. I wanna see the lip and if the shiny part of the bezel shows off.

In person these look much better than in photos. It reminds me of a supercar's orange-y leather interior. Clean IMO.

the camera def doesn’t show this case true color but i’m not a fan of orange at all. it’s not the saddle brown of years past. a bit disappointed. i’ll keep it for a few days and if it doesn’t grow on me it’s going back. i like the look of the leather band more than the case.

That is so close to being a symmetry lol, not seeing much difference in size. Back looks same. I have a Symmetry magsafe coming was too good a price to refuse, less than half retail delivered.
