Nice! So glad you love it! It’s such a great case. I’m still rocking my gray sheath paired with blue iPhone which is such a nice contrast. The gray is probably my favorite with celestial blue being a close second. Celestial blue with natural Ti would look awesome too

Next year if Apple doesn’t move back to leather i think i’ll be ordering multiple colours of Sheath. This case is absolutely amazing.

Natural Titanium and Gray Sheath match made in heaven. More pics under natural light.

I don’t see Apple ever moving back to leather. They’ve been making bold statements about doing their bit to save the environment in various ways and that won’t change. Although I still fail to see how not using leather is better for the environment. 🤔

Spamming the AliExpress again: got some photos of the case on the phone today. Wanted to highlight the fit, plus the lighting is a bit better today, not so overcast. Shot on an iPhone 12, all unedited.

In regards to lint, yes, it does collect it, but no more than my genuine Apple Silicone did on my 12Pro a few years ago. In hand, it does feel quite smooth.

I have two MagSafe wallets: the Cali Poppy pictured, and Umber. The Cali does show the animation when I attach to the case, but for some reason, the Umber doesn’t. Both show the correct animation with the case off though, and both with my DECODED leather (both genuine Mag wallets FYI).

If this wears well, I def. have no moral issue buying another in a different colour.

The Ali express silicone cases suck. Their material is so bad it collects so much of lint and it smells bad. The Apple one is expensive but they use a much better silicone material. And the MagSafe is very weak on the Ali express ones I have tried.

Glad to see they're back on track after getting swamped on their iPhone 15 early release issues. I had a fit problem with the first versions of the iPhone 12 Sheath model and they responded as they did with you, Sal09, sending out replacements quickly with no return requirements.

This isn’t my experience. My AliX silicone case doesn’t collect much lint at all and attaches to my MagSafe car charger and anker cube very securely. I guess it’s just different sellers.

I'll second this. My case was from a seller linked a few pages back and possibly the same one you bought from (Original IP Case Store Store). There is zero smell, good Magsafe strength, and the more I use it the less susceptible to lint it becomes. There is an ever so slightly visible seam from the mold on the sides which is probably the only giveaway that it's not genuine unless the real thing also has the same seam.

Said for a few years now that the Sheath is the best case I've ever used. The only downside this year is that it feel a bit heavy to me? Maybe because the new Titanium iPhones are so light I really notice the weight with the Sheath. Don't notice the weight with the Apple Fine Woven as much. Still best case out there though.

Yep same seller for my cypress. Used notow for my clay one and that’s equally good.

Mine doesn’t feel any different to that of my genuine Apple silicone case of my 12 Pro. That collected lint without it even going in a pocket.

But, that’s the gamble isn’t it. It cost £11 delivered-and with the plethora of knock-offs out there, I expect a few will hit the mark, and many, many, many cases will be like yours. I will agree, the magnet is slightly weaker: but it’s not a deal breaker.

As for the smell, I lost my sense of smell and taste because of the ol’ Rona virus 4 years ago, so I don’t notice: but just got my wife to check, she said it doesn't have any kind of odor.

I’ve burned through a bunch of cases this year and so far, for me, the Pitaka Pro wins for precision fit and attention to the smallest details (the only minus being the usual aramid fingerprints). I have a Sheath coming this weekend, I’m looking forward to finding out if it can dethrone the Pitaka.

I've toyed around with getting one as well. I currently have the Sheath and I'll be curious to see what you think.

Yeah, I love Pitaka but just can't live with the damn fingerprints!

Also curious to know if you are all about the Caudabe for the aesthetics of it or the durability had you have to drop your phone?
