I have no idea. They are also releasing a lanyard attachment for that metal Rebel logo on the back of the case.
Found this rather stunning Leather and Aluminum Case from BandWerk out of Germany. It looks stunning, but it's on pre-order right now and ships in about a month and a half. It also costs $130, so it's definitely on the higher end of phone cases in regards to price. Here's some shots I grabbed off their site.
That looks thick af. Kinda wish bullstrap would bring out the elite again and not take 200 years to ship it
You like it more than the symmetry?Yep, my phone has been in the Synthesis for about 4 days straight and that's a new record for me
Nomad Rugged case in Ultra Orange on black iPhone 15 Pro Max.
I've had my eye on that case every since I saw an Instagram ad for it. It's not 'that' much more expensive than a high end leather case.
I'm just concerned about how thick it's going to be. It looks to have a thick TPU bumper and then adding on the aluminum frame could result in a very chunky case.
Shame the waiting is up to 6-8 weeks from the 4-6 it was up until recently. Hopefully some reviews or pictures come out when people start getting them. Maybe come mid-winter or early spring they'll be a stocked item. I'm not willing to risk over $100 on a case I may or may not like with a return shipping cost that will cost as much or more than the case as was case was with Decoded.
Depends on the model and color I believe, but I ordered the Gray 15 Pro Max version on Oct 4th and it shipped the next day.
Not just you. Been about 10 days since my email reply to support for sending the wrong case and still no response
I got a notification earlier today that my Caudabe Celestial Blue Lucid Clear has shipped. I’m looking forward to getting it. Hopefully I’ll like it and be happy with it. 😃👍
No movement for my order either.
They took my O/N yesterday and today on X.
Ive never been this patient for a case in my entire life lol.
Gray Sheath for iPhone 15 Pro seems scarce and popular.

As someone who’s been fortunate to snag a black Pro Max 2 days after release just by walking into the local Apple Store & asking, I’ve had a fair share of cases attached to it and have some thoughts.
Apple silicone case - this has been my daily since buying the phone, it has lost that weird sticky texture which attracted lint like a crackhead to an unlocked car and is now nice and grippy without being sticky. The case has shown minimal wear and only complaint is the small cable port cutout which struggles to accommodate chunkier cables but fits everything else 80% of the time. Highly recommend.
Apple Finewoven - I hate to be a sheep but can only agree with the crowd that this case is trash. I bought it with the phone and didn’t even last 24 hours. I bought the phone opening time in the morning, and was back swapping Finewoven for the silicone that very same day. I get a case is designed to take abuse so your phone doesn’t but you want a case to fit properly and I found this case seemed to creak around my phone and felt like it was moving around. Final nail was noticing the cutouts were way off and the worst I’ve ever seen with one screw by the cable port fully visible and the other covered. Nope.
Spigen Zero One - looks amazing, fits great but they missed a detail where the MagSafe ring inside the case protrudes and rubs the back of the phone, this will definitely mark the phone over time and something annoys me about the idea of a protective accessory causing damage.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid - probably the best clear case you can get. Fits perfectly, you get a choice of MagSafe ring colours and the magnets are sandwiched inside the back of the case so not the same issue as the Zero One. Massive cable port and buttons are clicky. If you want a clear case, buy this one.
Spigen Mag Armour - amazing low profile case but offers not much protection, this is definitely a case to prevent scratches and not much else. If you’re just looking for something that you barely notice then this one is yours. If my phone wasn’t this expensive, I’d have this case.
Spigen Enzo Aramid - probably my favourite from Spigen but does have one flaw. Awesome fit, quality metal buttons and a nice big charge port. The complaint? This thing is slippy, like it offers next to no grip in your hand which means you’re a little nervous texting one-handed and I can see this easily getting dropped due to slipping out of my girly smooth hands.
ESR clear case - I wanted this to be good as I love ESR products, but this does wrong what the Spigen Ultra Hybrid does right. Small cable port, protruding MagSafe magnet (like the Spigen Z1) and doesn’t feel as sturdy or protective as the Spigen which I’m stunned about, normally ESR are beefier.
OtterBox Symmetry - an ok silicone case, but nothing better than the Apple one besides being £15 cheaper. Offers slightly better shock absorption I’ll admit but that’s it. If you own the Apple silicone case then don’t bother switching, it also has a small cable port which to me is a nuisance.

Looking good - esp for Halloween vibes!
I got this case for the 14PM when it was "Limited Edition" and it was all the Orange hype from the AWU. It ended up shipping about 6 weeks late or more last year. The nice thing on these is the metallic buttons now. I looked back on mine and the buttons are just cheap plastic. 😪
Nope.
I know I said I wouldn’t but Im going to cancel it tomorrow end of play.
Rather wait for an iPhone 16 Pro than for a Caudabe Case lol.

NOMAD Modern Horween Leather Case
Always rocked the Apple Leather case and would still have preferred that but that’s what brought me here.
I had the Apple clear case to start with but have to say it is without doubt the worst case I have ever had! Better off trying to hold onto a bar of soap. Buttons are also terrible to use, especially the action button. The lack of protection at he bottom is also asking for damage to happen on the phone.
Today my NOMAD Modern Horween leather case arrived and I love it. Build quality and fit are excellent. The buttons are great to use, especially without having to look at them. Easy to identify and have a satisfying click.
Wasn’t sure I would like the bottom of the phone with the lanyard loops. It adds a slight bit of length that has the added benefit of some extra drop protection (If it lands on the bottom edge/corners that is).
MagSafe holds very well on my Belkin charging stand. Don’t have any MagSafe accessories to check with them though.
The black surround feels smooth but the concave shape on the side makes it very easy to hold onto.
I have also ordered the Technically Red ANDAR ASPEN. If my Nomad case had arrived before ordering the ANDAR I prob would not have as the NOMAD case is great.

just picked up my natural 15 pro this morning and i dont really like the enzo and natural combo haha the shade of the aluminum e Ti is very different...i think the white ti is more versatile with cases...still love the natural color tho 😁 unfortunately had to return the phone because of dusts in the cameras
Do you have a link to the knockoff? Currently using a Spigen Ultra Hybrid but looking for a silicon case-- the smaller logo looks nice!
Sucks about the Enzo being slick. Just when I was thinking about getting one.
No, it's a good case but the fit is just too damn tight for my liking.
Might be back in the good ole Symmetry as soon as I get home tonight.
I've been using the Ringke Onyx with MagSafe case for a day on my 15PM. Has a very nice in hand feel, better than the Sheath IMO. Buttons are great too. The sides of my unit aren't too flexible and I haven't had an issue where debris was getting inside the case. Only complaint is that they only have this case available in black.
Just wish Ringke kept the floating buttons like last years had.
Good as new, no dents or scratches. But I mostly work from home and don’t really go and do anything risky or unsafe with my phone like hiking or running.
I do wipe it down everyday because of smudges that you can see from handling the phone.
