Clay looks great with natty.
Synthesis 15P weights 40 grams.
Wouldn’t you consider the Apple Silicone in a different category than the Synthesis though? With the Synthesis being a more protective case which results in more weight?

How much bulk does the speck add to the phone?
I always hated large phones. I thought the 6s was gigantic when I upgraded from the 5 but for the 4-5 range I always had the speck grip cases. Ordered one for the 6s and felt it added too much bulk to what I thought was an already gigantic phone. 😂😂
Fast forward a few years and I’ve got the pro max, the speck colours look fab. But I don’t want a bulky case.
Got my FineWoven case delivered just now, I'm keeping it but the quality is just not there for the price. I got the black one so hopefully it will last longer than the other colours. The cutout around the USB-C port is a bit off center which is a surprise for Apple.
Does anyone know of some slim cases that about the same as the Apple Silicone? I love the Apple silicone cases and happy with their protection, just want something new.
I couldn’t resist the Rick and Morty case with ring stand from Casetify.
Do the Casetify ones have a cutout for the action button or an actual cover? Every picture looks like a cutout, which is a bummer
@thatappleguytoday and @vded this is what the winter blue silicone case looks like on the natural titanium pro max.
Exactly why I’m Sheath only this year. I gave up on synthesis because of that reason even though so many people love it, I can’t do it anymore. I had the same issue with my 14PM synthesis as well and had it this year as well and just kept getting replacements that would do the same. Sorry that happened I really think it’s a matter of time for everyone else’s to do that as well. Major flaw on that case.
Thanks. I’ve only taken the case off 2 or 3 times. Didn’t even realize it was gone until I tried to use a magnetic grip and noticed the bottom half wasn’t catching where that magnet is supposed to be.
I'm still waiting on my Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 4, ordered back on 11/2. The tracking link shows it arrived at the Hong Kong airport on 11/8 but no updates since then. That case is now on sale and Pitaka has offered a refund to reflect the new pricing but I still have no idea when it will arrive.... hope it's worth the wait.
It’s a really nice case, definitely worth the wait. They’ve been available on Amazon for a while now, would be an alternative if your shipment from China doesn’t eventually arrive.
Man, between the Synthesis magnets and the MagSafe circle on the Sheath, Caudabe QC has taken a nose dive this year.
So far, so good. I’ve only used it for about 48 hours, but I wouldn’t worry too much about the front of the case (screen protection, lay on the table protection, etc.). The back is tbd. That being said, I’ve been using the FW wallet in taupe for a few weeks now and it still looks great.
I really loved apple’s leather cases despite their flaws and shared the same concerns about FW as everyone else does. There are trade offs to both (ie FW can scuff, but it’s easy to fix whereas Apple leather can also scuff but much harder to fix/patina looks crap). If you treat FW with the same care as you do other cases, I think it’s a pretty great option for fit, style, etc.
That may be the ultimate “Dad Phone” setup. 😉
Bummer... It sounds like they will ship folks up to 2 replacement cases, but then what? And who wants the hassle of getting case replaced periodically?
I may just return my Synthesis before my return period is up. I was on the fence either way due to how hard it is to get on/off, and the 46gr weight. The probability of having magnet issues, just makes it harder to keep this case. I have a couple weeks to decide.
In the mean time, I will try to find something that fits well, has decent grip, and is lighter.

I spent some time with another 14PM guy yesterday and he had a Mous carbon fiber case he wasn’t using. Gotta say I was pretty disappointed in this case. Rattling buttons, banana-boat shape and the edge was pulling away at the volume buttons.
He offered it to me and I went straight back into my cheap Amazon silicone case. Now if he had offered me the UAG Pathfinder he was using I’d have been all over it but he did say if he got around to upgrading he’d give it to me.
