It's definitely worse than an aramid case for finger marks. I've never been put off by this with cases though as light marks rub of with a rub of fingers or t-shirt and I'm happy giving them a regular clean with very small spray bottle with plain water in and a glass cleaning cloth.

Torras Magnetic Guardian case in black. Great fitting case with wonderful buttons. Comes with two different sets of exchangeable buttons. The power & volume buttons are plastic while the action button is metal with a soft padding on the back so it won't scratch your phones action button. The last picture is next to the $9.99 Meifigno which is very similar but I'm returning it for the unpadded, sharp metal buttons on the inside.

Strong MagSafe magnets on the back.

The only real con is the back and sides are a fingerprint/grease/smudge magnet :(

It's a crying shame that I have to order the blue one just to get the green and orange buttons :confused:

Here are some pics:

Mind linking to that usb c plug? I’ve yet to see one that small.
 
I love the blue, but for the life of me I can’t understand why Nomad/Moment keep putting those awful cutouts on the bottom of their cases. They’re hard, sharp, and unnecessary.
Yeah, it is really all that keeps this from being an ideal case (so long as you don't mind the "bulk"). It's not the most comfortable and it's just plain ugly.

Can you test to see if the black borders on the screen protector obstruct the screen? You can do this by opening the camera app, putting something black over the lens, and looking at the white L’s on the screen.
Learned something new, thanks! No obstruction looking directly at the screen, if you tilt the phone to the side it’ll start to slightly.

I'll have a new 15 Pro Max open button black Sheath for sale on the cheap soon o_O

Yeah, once my closed button versions get here, I’ll post up for sale the open button versions of the Sheath in black, gray, and celestial blue and a black Synthesis.

Not looking to make a ton back, either. I like helping other members get a good deal.

Guess I'll order the Caudabe Synthesis with the button as I have 30% off from my points.

Just hope the magnets don't fall out :confused:
I decided to pull the trigger last week for the cutout version knowing I could get a free button cover version. Bottom magnet came off after taking it off for the first time. As much as I love the side grips from the dot matrix pattern, might be best to stick with the Sheath for now since the MagSafe magnets is covered from the microfiber lining inside the case.

There is going to be a truck load of open button Caudabe cases for sale soon :rolleyes:

Hopefully the newer button Synthesis cases will have better glue holding the magnets in.

Nomad Rugged. Nice case if you don't look at the bottom, lol. Seems like this is well suited to be my "adventure" case. The buttons are not black, but more of a pewter color so a little contrast with the sides of the case without being too different.

I feel as though the sides of this case have a slightly better grip than the Rugged cases for the 14s, but it may also just be the effect of having downsized from a 14PM to a 15P. Everything is easier to hold now, ha.
Did you have the rugged for the 14 series? If so, does the 15 series have the same material on the back that shows greasy fingerprints? Been trying to figure that out before I pull the trigger on an order
 
supposedly my ultra super duper bounce case, and my sheath will be delivered by FedEx tomorrow but for whatever reason anytime I get something via FedEx it always routes thru the Memphis location on its way to me and they lose my package… has happened numerous times now. Think they need some better workers out there in that sorting center..
 
Man, I'm getting a Blue Mujjo case today from Amazon. I hope I can deal with the buttons or they feel ok. I'll report back, too.
First impressions on the Mujjo case are great! Buttons seem fine to me. Clicky and not overly hard to press IMO. I haven't used it on the daily just yet, so guess we'll see. Otherwise, quality seems great and it's the look I wanted. I think they got the aluminum camera ring just right to match the BlueTi in the Camera Bump area. Port alignment is spot on.

Took a few shots with sun and without. Also, I had to dial down the exposure to get the blue to go darker to what I saw with my eyes. The lighter shade of blue was the standard camera settings. Had to use an iPadMini6 for pictures of the phone in the case.

My revised version arrives Friday and I’ll have the Celestial Blue Sheath as well
Have you been in touch with support in regards to the magnet issues on the Synthesis?

I was told a vast majority of the Synthesis do not have that issue and that a fix was being implemented in future manufacturing batches but will take some time.
 
You have a picture of the celestial blue?

Not yet. It’ll actually be here tomorrow. I’m assuming they were sold out for a bit because it took them almost a week to ship. So long that I thought maybe they were waiting to send me the closed button version, but the confirmed the one that’ll be here tomorrow is the open button one.

I’ll post some pics tomorrow after it arrives.
 
FW in black and blue. Really struggling to decide which one to keep and trial. I want to love the blue as I try not to have black cases but not sure if it’s just a bit too ‘royal blue’. Something is drawing me to the black, it just looks so slick and the grey hue against the NT camera looks great.

That black on the titanium looks superb my man. 👌
