Smartish Gripmunk vs Caudabe Sheath, which would you guys go with?

I have a Gripmunk for my iPhone 13 and it's been great. Only small issue would be that it's a bit bulky.

However, it's much cheaper than the Sheath.

Sheath looks a bit slimmer but unsure if it's worth the extra money.

Thoughts?

I haven’t had the gripmunk, I do have the sheath. From product photos, looks like the Sheaths texture is more pronounced than gripmunk, and it’s also around the entire case (except for the bottom, nice for the pinky). Personally, I really like the texture. It does add a little bit of weight ofc when compared to the naked phone, but it’s not so bad imo. It also has chamfered edges around the screen which is nice.

Anyway, if you decide to go for it try promo codes: “SAVE35VIP” or “SORRY30”

What’s everyone’s most comfortable case? Nicest to hold for long periods of time… I noticed that most cases start to irritate my pinky after a while except for a small few. The Aspen does not, the Defender XT (due to the charger port cover) and the OtterBox symmetry is also comfortable. The sheath and synthesis start to feel like sand paper after using all day long. So what’s the most comfortable in hand?

My top three are the Zagg Landon Snap, followed by Caudabe Sheath, then YMW Nappa leather. Those three are particularly good for pinky comfort. Honestly all three are interchangeably good. Not to discount Apple's silicone, Spigen Enzo Aramid, and Torras Magnetic Shockproof which are also good.

The only case I've kept that I can feel a sharp edge on the bottom, particularly around the hole for the USB-C port, with my pinky is the Otterbox Lumen. It's downright uncomfortable however it get's a pass because of how pretty it is. I have to remember to hold my pinky off to the sides by the speaker hole openings and it's fine.

My Caudabe Synthesis is very comfortable for me. Nice and comfortable on my pinky shelf and the back has just enough texture where it’s satisfying. The matrix grips what makes this case a great case for me.

Still liking the London Snap? Anything annoying that’s popped up about it?

On the London, how's the fit to the phone, is it comparable to the sheath? How is the magnet strength? I keep seeing it at Best Buy, and it has peaked my curiosity

Coastal Rock Sport Case by Nomad. Sneaky excellent. Checks all the boxes for me. Thin, light, but protective. Grip and and MagSafe monster. Best buttons I've tested to date.

How does the Nomad Sport feel if you rest the phone on your pinky? I seem to suffer with cases hurting my pinky a lot.

Yea Amazon prices are amazing. I really have my eye on this case.

I have that case (in the blue), it's superb. I've tried a LOT of cases since getting my 15 Pro, this one was about the first I ordered thinking it would be a reasonably priced 'placeholder' until I settled on something else, but I keep on coming back to it. It's on my phone right now.

Does the Mag armor get flimsy over time? I like it because it looks like a lighter weight case for when I want something like that.
