Caudabe Synthesis button cover version in today. All I can say is this is one TIGHT mother to get on the phone :(
Say a prayer for my black titanium finish after I try and remove my phone from it's grasp 🙏
Here are a few pics:

Id rather have 3 Fine Woven cases. Run them for 4 months each. And then upgrade to iPhone 16 Pro lol.
Yeah I don’t want to buy too many cases because I will upgrade again next year. I figure my Apple silicone case should last me 6 months to a year.

Has anybody tried the OtterBox Lumen case?

Yes I ordered it shortly after iPhone release. The fit is great and the blue looks amazing with the blue iPhone but you can feel the edges where the colored plastic and the clear plastic were glued together. This really annoyed me so I sent it back.

I got my Decoded Leather Case today. I used the Mujjo until today but the fit wasn‘t that great. The Decoded fits perfectly and the leather feels very soft. The only thing that is bothering me a little bit are the sharp edges of the Camera ring. They feel like the edges of the Apple Watch Ultra. But until now my absolutely favorite case.

I ordered the blue Loneli Leather Case yesterday when they got back in Stock. It should arrive until friday and then I will decide between the two. I have to check if I am still in the returning period for the Mujjo case.

Glad you like it! The magnets are strong too! Solid all around case. I can’t seem to stop using it even when I order new cases lol.

For sure. The magnets might be the strongest of any case I have or have tried. It may be due to the texture on the back as well but they feel stronger than the sheath which has a rougher texture on the back. I like what Smartish is doing so I also ordered the Gripmunk. If it’s like the gripzilla with a little less weight and smaller profile I’ll probably stop looking between those two.


How are the buttons?

How is it with fingerprints - smudges easily?

I know you didn’t ask directly but in my experience the buttons are very solid (as in feels like pressing the oem buttons- clicky with good feedback).

Fingerprints are minimal if at all. I have the black tie version which may show the most, other than clear, and they are basically non existent. The finger grooves on the sides have the most matte texture (not abrasive though) and the back has slightly less texture, but is not slick. Enough to give your fingertips some grip if you hold with one hand.

Man those IRL photos look SO much better than the renderings they have on their website.

Decisions decisions….
