Which Case Did You Get or Recommend For Your New iPhone 15 /Plus /Pro /Pro Max?

[dan428]

Personally I would want the thinnest case possible, which I did find one on Amazon recently I’m interested in.. basically has the thickness of paper.

But one of the main reasons I’ve gotten cases in the past is so that the phone would lie flat by making up for the camera bump. I’ve used the same case on my iPhone X for years. These new phones though the camera bump is so huge that it’s no longer possible for the case to make up for it without being ridiculously thick. The other big reason I used case was to add magnetic plate for mounting in car. I’m HOPING that the MagSafe in the new iPhones allow it to mount without a case? I haven’t confirmed this but I’ll find out soon.

So I might just not bother getting a case, or I’ll get one just for the occasion of when I know I’ll be outside for long periods. These screens are way more durable than the old phones so it would take a lot to break them, and the back is actually affordable to replace now with the 15 pro so it wouldn’t be the end of the world if it cracked.

Just got the synthesis. It’s decent. I don’t like that the back feels more plasticy than the sheath, the extra camera square looks cheap, the fact there’s no micro lining inside is a poor choice on caudabes side. The only plus is the grip bumps on the side. They should’ve just incorporated the bumps all over the case and put micro lining in it and avoided the extra camera square.

Hey guys! I know it’s been mentioned , but, if anyone happens to get one of the CASETiFY bounces , would love to see pics and hear opinion. I get it that it’s overpriced but after hearing about the fragile titanium I’m willing to pay a one-time piece of mind for drop protection 😁

The titanium might be "fragile" in that it will probably scratch a bit easier than stainless steel, but I’m sure it’s a lot hardier than aluminum. So calling it fragile is definitely not accurate. From what I’ve seen it’s more of an issue with the darker colors as the outer plating can come off (part of why I went with natural color, scratches are a lot less visible)

FWIW, my iPhone X with shiny stainless steel sides are showing light scratches all over FROM MY CASE rubbing against it over the years (no felt lining).. also likely from residue getting stuck into the sides

I got one on the way. Will be reporting back once it arrives. 🫡

Stacey, how did you get Caudabe to reply to your email so quick that day you messaged them about receiving the charger instead of your Lucid?? I emailed them like 3 days ago and still haven’t heard a peep. I can’t lie, it Kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

 

[Boardiesboi]

Mine flew out of Hong Kong about 12 hrs ago.

What date did you place the order? I ordered mine on 17 Sept.

 

[macmedal]

Is there someone who tried the iPhone 14 ProMax apple leather case with the 15 Pro Max ? Does it fit ?

No it doesn’t fit I tried it and the 15 pro max is fractionally smaller and the case is loose

Is it coming from China via DHL?

She has BIG Caudabe clout which we don't have

2 for $9.99 metal camera protectors look just as good as the Ringke one. Same 3M adhesive on the back but the inside edges seem to have a bevel instead of a flat edge.

I don’t know. I didn’t expect them to respond until sometime next week. I guess they didn’t want me leaving a bad review thinking my order was mixed up. I know they said they are overwhelmed with orders and emails. I’m still waiting for the confirmation email for my replacement Synthesis and the code for the free Synthesis with the action button.

Is the case slippery or grippy?

Both. I'm not 100% sold on it a few days on (despite what I said) so I'm still looking around...

Lol, I don't have "BIG" (or any) Caudabe clout, but I got a response within a day earlier this week. I do order quite a bit from them so there's that. I wouldn't be surprised if most companies keep tabs on customers who order a lot.

Thank you for taking one for the team. All I want to know is how you can stomach that price and how you can stomach that beast of a case. haha

 

[Latch6044]

That silicone looks thiccckkkk!

How’s it feel compared to Apple’s?

Never tried Apple’s, so can’t compare. Feels nice in the hand though. Soft and good enough grip.

 

[thelookingglass]

Anyone do Tech 21 cases any more?

You know what's funny, I totally forgot about them. What happened to them? They used to be all the rage. I remember them taking up rows of shelf space at Apple stores.

 

[roflc0pter]

Caudabe order arrived! I decided to ask them to swap the grey sheath for a blue synthesis, and they honored it! Here is the celestial blue synthesis on the white iPhone, I’d say it looks pretty good, and the feel in the hand is top notch. Customer service emailed me yesterday and gave me a code for 100% off the version with a button once they become available, and you just pay the shipping. No complaints here!

So that confirms that the action button version will not be entirely free? Have to pay for shipping at the very least

Also might want to check back a couple of pages with the MagSafe issue on Synthesis cases

Last ones I had was the evo lux and the max for the 13pm. If they would still make it (lux), I’d buy one. But I don’t want a slimy plastic case (evo check).

White Nomad Sport with Black Titanium iPhone. The case hunt is over.

is the case slippery?

is the case slippery?

Last one I held was very slick on the back.

Are you sure?
It looks slippery when looking at pictures of the case.

I don't know what the deal is with those other people, but my Synthesis works great. A buddy of mine got two for his wife and himself. They have had no problems either as far as they can tell.

I'll probably still go back to the Sheath because of how much I love it, but as I said earlier I'm really liking the Synthesis. Feels so solid. I even dropped it (accidentally of course) and nary a scuff on the thing. I'm really liking the side dots for grip.

Yeah, the Sheath does feel marginally better overall, but I'm really liking those side grips. So much so that it really makes the case for me. I don't mind the "extra camera square" at all. One of the reasons I like Caudabe cases is because they're good at keeping designs simple and classy, but with some character. I can't stand most cases because they just look so excessive. Probably Caudabe and Nomad have the cleanest looking cases if I had to choose. Everyone else likes to put random lines, grooves and whatnot on their cases. (Looking at you, UAG)

Still probably a Sheath guy deep down though, I will admit. But, this Synthesis is a close second.

Sticking with my spigen ultra hybrid magfit which I love until then.

The andar aspen had so much color transfer when i had it on my iphone 12. All of my magsafe chargers turned permanently brown & All my pockets on light colored clothing stained as well. Went to bullstrap and had a much better experience in terms of quality. The magnet on andar was also weak.

Wow, really? Are these the official MagSafe chargers? You're talking about the white circular part right? I don't think I've ever heard of a case actually color transfer on to some other object.
