Has anyone had experience with Decoded cases?

I like the look of them, they use real leather: but also like the look of the silicone cases too. Just wondering in terms of wear really. I had the Apple leather case for my 14PM (actually had two), and I also had an Apple silicone case for my 12P. I was really disappointed with the finish on all wearing off really quickly (I had the orange case on my 14 and it was shockingly poor).


They do a 10% discount code, so a leather and a silicone would weight in at just over £72. Downside is that postage is £14.

I have toyed with an Apple FW as I can get a 10% discount, but I just don’t trust it to look decent in a months time.

Thoughts?
There is soooo much chat about Decoded on here. Use the search function. Look at my post and media history too.

£14 is well worth the postage as there no import taxes upon delivery

Just received my Mous limitless 5.0 Aramid Fibre, and I gotta say I'm surprised with the quality. It's much better than the 14 pro max version. The edges are not sharp, and the buttons no longer rattle. Also maybe it's just me but I feel like the sides are even grippier than last year.
Do you have the Pro Max?
I got the case for the 15 Pro and I found the edges too sharp.

Decoded leather & silicone. Really liking both.

I have both. No complaints whatsoever. Rotation covers all my needs.

Symmetry & Sheath. Just some random pics. Notice the Sheath after only a couple hours of use has a bunch of crap stuck on the back o_O

Anyone tried this??

Not really a symmetry. Buttons didn’t feel great and no rubber type material on the sides. Same pick up all dust like an Apple TPU case. Not the same protection as a regular symmetry.

I'm also finding the same thing with my Mous Limitless 5.0 Aramid Fibre case. Very impressed so far.

I can’t understand why you’re getting stuff stuck to the Sheath. I’ve got 3 different colors and nothing sticks to any of them. No pocket lint, no dog hair, nothing.

That’s part of why I love the Sheath. I’ve yet to find another case that has the same mix of grip and that frosted finish that no other case feels like. The Onyx comes the closest with its finish.

How is the Sheath with fingerprints?

It's just little specks of white cotton that stick and are hard to wipe away. Think it's from my front jean pockets.

Do you wear skinny jeans like Hooter? He also likes all tattered and cut up. That has to produce more lint

Anyone got both the Caudabe Sheath and the FineWoven case?

I am curious which of the two is thinner?
