Didn't even realize that I'm sitting on 255 Caudabe reward points
I never even looked at their reward deal.

I will say you are right, the sheath texture does grow on you after a few days. The speaker and charger cutouts are more comfortable to rest on hand than the apple silicone. I do wish it had a touch more lip around the screen but fundamentally it is a minimalist case so I understand. I can see why there is a big following, it's a very solid case.
Ordered the Spigen mag armor as well ($45 they list is a bit steep, think its about 20 on amazon). The pattern on the back has been changed and reviews say it feels slightly different than previous versions but I figure that is almost always the case. Was too pleased with the last version to not give it another try (not sure why it wasn't my first order).
Also trying the pelican ranger clear case. Cheap enough for a clear case to try with 5mm camera lip and 1-2 mil screen lip. Case mate has made good cases in the past, wonder what the quality will be since teaming up with pelican (for phone cases at least).
I believe CHECKOUT gets you either 10 or 15%… better than nothing. Google “Caudabe promo codes”
I initially got a Spigen Ultra Hybrid and I found the sides (TPU) to be very icky feeling, so tacky that it felt like it was rubbing off on my hands and I was leaving a ton of fingerprints on my screen, which never happened with my old phone and hard shell case. Plus it fits so tightly that I thought I was going to break my phone taking it off. I have an Apple silicone case coming tomorrow.
Use NEWSTUFF. I believe that gets you 20% off.
I don't believe that since it happened on my 14 Pro Max case. A lot of people just don't take their cases off once they put it on. A good amount of people don't use MagSafe either
I'm guessing it has to do with the adhesive they use which becomes a problem when the iPhone heats up
This makes sense because they cover the magnets in the Synthesis with a sticker, whereas on the Sheath they’re covered by the felt liner. If they’d do the same felt liner on the Synthesis, that would solve it. But then they’d have to make the case slightly deeper to adjust for it.
Nope, CHECKOUT get's you more off..
Thank you anyway

The Sheath or the Synthesis?
Which case is betterFor me, that would be the Caudabe Sheath or Caudabe Synthesis. Both have great protection and both are grippy in their own ways. They’re not massive and don’t add a ton of bulk to the phone, but feel solid.
But I’m a sucker for their cases and have used them for years across tons of different phones. So I’m slightly biased.

You have to email Caudabe support with your original order number and request the free button cover version. They will send you a coupon for 100% off the new Sheath of your choosing, just have to pay shipping.
Tee's review on the dbrand Grip. Looks like MagSafe strength is improved greatly. Good sign for the Ghost case
I honestly like them both for different reasons.
If I HAD to choose and could only have one, it would be the Sheath. I just love the texture of the case and how it covers the entire outside of it. I also like that it has the felt on the interior that sits up against the phone. It just feels like that protects it a little better.
But the Synthesis is great too. The sides have a much more aggressive texture than the Sheath, while the back is more of a hard plastic, but they changed it last year to feel more like the back on the Sheath (the grippy pattern, not the material).
All that being said, you really can’t go wrong with either one.
I'm having some FedEx/Otterbox woes. I placed an order on 9/26 and paid $12.99 for expedited shipping. Otterbox claims the case was shipped on 9/27 but as of today (10/2) FedEx tracking still reads "label created". I spoke with Otterbox and they claim it's been picked up, I spoke with FedEx and they claim it's still at Otterbox. Has anyone had a similar experience and are you able to provide any insight?
Thanks!
EDIT: Just spoke with Otterbox again. They said wait another week and if the case doesn't show up by then they'll send another one (SMH). So much for expedited shipping. Feeling disappointed in the mediocre customer service and useless shipping charges.

I’ve tried 3 different ones and finally found one I’m happy with. (For my 15 Pro Max, but they have all of these for the 15 Pro too)
First was the Mothca Matte Glass. I love the fit (case friendly), but it ended up making the display a little too grainy for my tastes. But my wife has one on her 15 Pro and loves it, so YMMV.

Next up was the Benks Anti-glare. Doesn’t make the screen grainy and fit is outstanding. But 2 things…first, it’s not the most case-friendly as it’s pretty much edge-to-edge, but it did work with my Caudabe Sheath. However, if I pressed the top of the case down, it would start to lift. But that’s because of issue #2. For some reason, Benks thought it was a good idea to put a little bump out that goes OVER the top speaker. They say it’s to keep dust out, but it makes the protector less case friendly and it blocks the sound. I tested it and sure enough, you can barely hear anything coming out of the top speaker. If they remove that little bump out, I’d get them again.

So I went searching for recommendations on YouTube and came across the Ambison Matte Glass and for me they’re perfect. The clarity of the Benks with the fit of the Mothca. Nice and friendly to cases, too. I can’t recommend them enough. I’m really, really happy with them.

Spigen ENZO coming in HOTT This just might be my new favorite case of the day. This case is nice. The fit, feel and construction are top notch IMO. The sides are kind of a firm rubbery TPU, aluminum buttons are fantastic, very clicky with a nice soft padding on the insides. The inside back has a nice soft felt like lining and the MagSafe is STRONG ! This case is extremely TIGHT to get on the phone but what a nice snug fit once it's on. The aluminum logo on the back is recessed into the case and is nice and flush along the back. Best $35. case I've ever bought. Here are some pics:
