Yes, there is a difference between the phones' thicknesses, but not as significant as the increase between the cases. And there is definitely more side surface area for grip on the new one... this Sheath almost feels Otterbox-like compared to the old skinny guy on the 12PM.
The Sheath beefed up mid-cycle on the iPhone 12 because of Magsafe. They implemented the full thick rigid backplate with the embedded magnets and that’s what caused the significant increase in bulk and weight. I really like it as it is, but the design and slimness before Magsafe was their peak to me. If they sold non-Magsafe models today, those would be the ones I’d get.Yes, there is a difference between the phones' thicknesses, but not as significant as the increase between the cases.

Oh man.. And people want to make a fuss about Caudabe's customer service.. granted it hasn't been the best, it seems Andars is worse.
How's everyone's experience with Pitaka? I ordered the MagEZ Case Pro 4 on November 1st and near as I can tell it is sitting at the Hong Kong airport for the last 3 days. Caudabe had some issues early on but by the time I ordered my case it only took 5 days to arrive.
I have the Caudabe Synthesis. It’s not an ugly case but it’s not a pretty case. But it’s a very functional case. I call it a stupidly simple case.
Not sure as I have never owned a case from Pitaka. Have you reached out to their customer service?
I had a Sheath last year on my 14 Pro Max, and just got the Synthesis for my 15 Pro Max. I know it's not Apples to Apples, but it does seem the Caudabe case get a little thicker each year. This case is 45gr.
Is that the Apple Silicone case? How does it compare in terms of size to the Synthesis (thickness, width, etc.)?
Whoa that's pretty sweet looking. How does it feel in the hand, and does it feel bulky?
Feels pretty good, like a frosted tpu case but not flimsy. It has about the same bulk as the Benks Armor Pro so not bulky at all IMO.
Got the PopSocket Magsafe and it's pretty cool. On the back of the "SlipperySuit" it does add some grip to the back while folded flat. The MagSafe strength of the SlipperySuit hold the PopSocket on like it's welded. I will try it on some of my other cases and see how it goes.
I had an order placed on 9/29 and now all of a sudden its showing cancelled in the Shop app. If I go to my account on the Andar site that order still shows paid - unfulfilled. Who knows what the hell is going on with them. If it is in fact cancelled, it would have been nice to know about!
Man, I can't get over how clean this moft case is..
The popsocket combined with this case looks sweet, I've been thinking about picking up this combo, but not sure the popsocket is worth $30Never owned a PopSocket in my life but I do now
Don' t think it was worth $30. but pretty cool device none the less.

Interesting. One reason I got the synthesis was because I thought it was a more protective case than the sheath?
