Which Case Did You Get or Recommend For Your New iPhone 15 /Plus /Pro /Pro Max?

[Sal09]

And those bigger companies are the ones who have the resources to innovate, yet every UAG and Otterbox have looked basically the same since they opened their doors. (Sure, you can argue Caudabe hasn’t changed their designs much either, but it’s hard to improve on perfection ).

All I’m ever looking for in a case is a solid fit, good grip, and a simple design. OBs have always been too slick to me while UAG is way too over the top for my tastes. Then there’s Speck who’ve basically trotted out the same case designs for YEARS. Not that all of those companies don’t make good/great cases, but to me none of them touch tiny little Caudabe.

I’m on a rant, so I’ll finish with this: I’m also done with Nomad (speaking of a company that hasn’t changed their designs in years). How long have we griped about their crappy, sharp, symmetrical bottom cutouts (same for Moment)? Yet they never listen.

People should use what they like, so I’ll stick to Caudabe. I’ve got their Sheath on my S23 Ultra, too (and my S22 Ultra before that). I just wish they’d expand and offer the Sheath for the Pixel too.

You had me at hard to improve on perfection 😎.

Man I ordered Sheath because of you and @JBlass421.

I am a mediocre case enthusiast but here im hoping that it lives upto my expectations fuelled by all the good things written about Sheath on this forum.

Otherwise I am going to turn Liam Neeson (that guy from Taken) on you.


Joking 🙄

Anyone have a black or blue sheath for 15 pro you want to unload?

Me… I have one never even been opened. PM me

Does anyone have an awesome caudabe promo code by chance?

Damn I really hope you like it! That gray sheath on natty Ti is fire in my opinion! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

Sweet baby Jesus YES. The rebel 5 is a home run. The girl on the sides is perfect and I loveeeeee the slightly raised aramid feeling from the back!!!

Wow! Phone Rebel cases now come with a girl on the side. I mean I’m already married….

 

[thatappleguytoday]

Im willing to look past them mooohasive bottom cutouts and place an order. That combination is literally on fire 🔥.

It's a very thick case compared to the leather modern case which I absolutely love so far...mine is going back

 

[thatappleguytoday]

Nomad Modern Leather...an absolute winner

Look for tasty them buttons are lol

I really like the Mous Limitless this year. I love the Phone Rebel but I don’t think it’s good for me as many times as I remove a case. I just don’t know how that camera ring is going to last. Best case probably for someone who isn’t removing the case all the time.

Do you know how strong the magsafe is on the UAG monarch v the mous?

how's the magsafe strength?

Ok, let’s be fair here. Since the iPhone 11, their Sheath prices have gone from $36 to $41 ($5 increase) and the Synthesis has gone from $39 to $42 ($3 increase). And that’s through COVID and post-COVID inflation.

You make it sound like they’ve upped their prices by 25-50%. And if you take a look at other brands (especially “luxury” brands like *cough* Mous *cough*).

They’re a small operation that provides a quality product and whether some people here believe it or not, provide quality customer service.

It’s a case for a phone, people. Let’s keep a little perspective.

Overpriced imo for what they are, $75AUD for us. My 14 pro sheath I got off eBay for $40AUD which is about right.
They must have a big markup if they can just give people 2 for 1 price lol

Only timed have cracked a screen was in a sheath dropped it onto a cupboard draw from 3 ft, side of the case came away and side screen hit the draw.
The sides are soft and pull away easily v the mous.

I have the Nomad modern leather and honestly it's been pretty strong.

What's the diff between the modern and the Horween? Have had Horween but not the modern.

The type of leather is the only difference. Horween leather is used on the Horween version (surprise ) and I think Ecco leather is used on the Modern one, which is a bit cheaper.

The modern leather is also water resistant so it’s a good choice if you ever get your case wet. I had this for my 14 pro and it poured when I was walking around Disneyworld and the case dried off with no issues or damage. also this year the buttons are metal and the concave sides give it a great feel in the hand. Very nice case

i’ve gotta say, using the phone with the pr gen 5 is really nice. swiping from the bottom and the sides is really smooth. i have the spigen glass and it’s almost flush with the case. and even though the case is on the heavy side, picking up the phone from the table is easy and feels secure. like i have the enzo aramid and picking up the phone from the table doesn’t feel as secure, feels like it’ll slip from my hand.

Just my opinion, but the random photos on here don’t do it justice. It looks great in person. It’s just a really sleek case with just the right amount of design. I’m not a fan of 95% of the cases people post on here, like the Mous or phonerebel. They look over designed and their logos are all over the place. I don’t mind an Apple logo, but I really don’t want to be advertising a third party case manufacturer everywhere (sorry if that sounds snobby). Caudabe’s stuff has a knack for looking minimalist but fancy at the same time if that makes sense. But if you’re into loud and busy designs, they probably arent for you. It’s a subjective thing.

And once you get the Sheath in your hands, the fit and feel is like a custom made glove, as I was trying to explain in another thread. It’s hard to really put into words but it’s just one of those things where it feels quality the more you use it.

Well said. Caudabe cases and Apple cases are the only ones I usually consider because of the aesthetics. So many other cases have so many unnecessary lines, nooks, crannies, bumps. It’s like just give me something that looks classy and works well. There’s nothing cleaner than a new Sheath on an iPhone IMO.

I did get adventurous this year annd also tried a Native Union case, a Nomad Sport case, and the UAG Monarch. Not even sure why I tried the UAG because the aesthetic hurts my eyes. All three had such a loose fit compared to my Sheath it was honestly a little puzzling. The UAG also had a comically weak magnet. So it was back to the Sheath I went. It just checks all the important boxes.

Was this a USA purchase?

I can’t see it on Amazon UK. ☹️

Bought it from Amazon in Austria, but it came from Germany according to the tracking.

Stretch marks and streaks aside, I’m loving the Pitaka StarPeak case. So low profile, feels premium and almost as good as using a naked iPhone.

It looks great. but it would make me mad if the side would get scratched after a drop or from keys etc.

Top and bottom too, only gotta last a year though lol

Finally received Pitaka’s reply. Fair enough. I never read the full FAQ and will probably keep it as I like the case so much.

Hey!

Just wanna let you know that my pitaka horizon case has the same problem.
The lines looking strange and u can even feel them on the back.
The structure feels different (not good) if u compare the horizon design with the texture near the Camera u can feel a difference.

The other blue case (milky way) does not has this Problem.
No lines, structure is Like it should be on the back.
Its Like a different case at the Back.

So i will keep the milky way and send the horizon back (its from amazon.de), cause i rly like the feeling thickness and the design.

Sorry for my english.

Is there a consensus good ultra/very thin case that has MagSafe? I’m not too keen on Peel or Totallee, tried Bare and did not like that. I’ve got a Caudabe Veil and that’s my favourite so far, but it doesn’t have it’s own magnets so the strength of magnetic attachment is not great.

Just a lil bump in case anyone's got any thoughts on this. Should have also added above I tried the Torras ultra thin too and didn't like it - a clearly visible gap you can see through looking downwards.

I also had a Nudient case arrive today but can't stand it, cutout for the USB-C port is weird AF!
