How is the Caudabe a "way better fit" vs. Apple's FineWoven case? My FineWoven case couldn't possibly fit any better. And my magnets are plenty strong. Zero chance it's falling off my MagSafe car vent holder.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the FineWoven case nearly as much as the Apple leather case, but the fit is perfect.
Not to be argumentative at all, but my FW case was actually a tad loose, enough that it often squeaked/creaked when I picked up the phone. It was quite annoying.

i received my vaja case and wallet wrap today. initial impression is this case is extremely nice. fit is perfect on the case. even on all four corners. great smell, feel and looks. i’ve been ordering from vaja for many years. i usually get a folio and after a few months i get tired of the cover, but it’s attached. this year with the detachable wallet wrap, my plan is to use this long term. great strong magsafe. i personally like all the openings. i can see and feel some of the phone. the phone snaps in place when attaching it to the wallet. the metal logo plate on the case is used to magnetically close the wallet. there must be extra magnets along the right side cause when in stand mode, it remains solidly attached. i love it and my color choices. let me know if anyone wants 15% off on a purchase from vajacases. i’ll get loyalty points from the link btw.

Can I get a couple of sniff's please? Been years since I've opened a case from Vaja but I sure do remember that wonderful leather smell when opening the package.

For those of you who own the Nomad Modern Leather case for the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, how does the bottom feel on your pinky while holding it? Is it still kind of sharp like earlier iterations of the case? I'm contemplating picking one up in English Tan for those days I need a bit more protection than what the Decoded leather case can give but I would hope it's more comfortable this time around.

I do like that they've finally went for metal buttons and also have the action button as a button and not a cut out.
I also tend to use my pinky and no problem so far. It feels rather soft. I did a short summary of my first impressions several pages before, if interested.

Just received my Caudabe Gray without the action button cover. The case is awesome as we all know, but the cut out is terrible - it’s difficult to easily access the action button. I’m surprised Caudabe even offers the cutout version on their webpage! Still waiting to receive my code so I can order the button cover version - I should have just waited in the beginning.

What color iPhone do you have? Can you post some photos. I’m considering the gray but not sure about it with blue iPhone and also in real life it tends to be different than their stock images

I just received both my Nomad Horween leather case as well as the Spigen Enzo Aramid case. I have to say both of these are fantastic. I had the normal Nomad sport cases for my 14 pro and really liked them, however the materials felt a little more scratch prone on the 15pm. I ended up returning that for the Horween case and have to say it’s very nice. The cutouts on the bottom are chamfered enough to make them comfortable on the pinky. The leather is very nice and has a great smell! The Enzo is fantastic! Fit is perfect, buttons are excellent and the finish is buttery smooth. This is going to be a tough case to beat. I can’t believe it’s only $35 right now on Amazon. It’s easily a more expensive case. It wouldn’t surprise me if it goes up to the cost of the Pitaka cases!

Having a throwback based on the last few replies on Vaja.

Reminds me when I was using Vaja Cases and or the all -wood cases-.

If anyone wants that HUGE CaseBorne for the 15PM just PayPal me $10. to cover shipping and I'll ship it out to you.
The box it comes in is quite large and heavy.

I also have the same case for the regular 15 if anyone needs it.
What the heck case is this lol. Must not be good if you are willing to part with it for 10 bucks.

I will have to search in a bit. Never heard of this case before.

The bottom feels fine. No issues whatsoever!
