i ordered a ghost case after they said they’d be sending out a replacement next year. imo it looks and feels great. scuffs aside, i just try to ignore, the case is so light compared to my other cases. i’ve been using it for the past few days. i’m not one for shiny cases, but this is and i like it. good grip, good magsafe, thin and light while still seems protective.
Ghost frost case would go hard

I can make them with my Cricut machine. They Always peel off the aramid tho. Gonna try lining up the logo, cutting it out with an exacto knife and then inserting it so it’s flush with the aramid. Will report back later
Yes please.

Slipped back into the synthesis. Man this feels so good. Buttons don’t bother me as much. Maybe I’m maturing. Haha.

For those with the Otterbox Lumen, does yours have sharp edges/seams on it?

This case is so close to being the case for me but it seems to scratch as easy as the Ghost does on the inside and it has sharp edges/seams. For those who have felt the edges on ice hockey skates it feels similar to those in a way.

Yep this is the only downfall for this case. Seems the way they molded the case and definitely some poor construction done. I love it too, but returning mine tomorrow at the Apple Store.

Manage to snag the Evergreen FW for $35 and that’s a price I’m comfortable paying for it. The fit, dimensions, and buttons are perfect (I forgot how thin the sides are!!). I still don’t care much for how the material on the back looks and how the edges feel but I’m hopeful the edges will develop a better feel over time. The ones on display in the Apple Store felt really nice.
Those of you who have owned one for a while, does it get more grippy over time?! Coming from my Apple Silicone the FW feels like a bar of soap!

Also, I think this color is the best of the bunch (but I really wish they had it in the Clay).

Ahhh much better all blacked out 😎

Pics don’t do it justice, as @Hooterville said. They look amazing in real life. Now I’m curious how I would like the frosted with another 16 dollar black kit smh lol

The only seam I physically see and feel is top right corner...

Edges havn't change for me after about 3 weeks, still slippery but it's better with humid weather as it is here now, so light though and firm fit.

"BIG PIMPIN" Ultra Orange on the aramid fiber. Word of caution, make sure you have the correct screwdriver for the camera frame ( PH00 Phillips ) the screws are micro tiny and if you strip one out you will not be able to change the frames. Here are a couple quick pics:

I’ve ditched caudabe for this year after using the smartish grip for a few days. Better in every way. Buttons on the caudabe this year, especially action button are poor.
Which Caudabe model? I have the Synthesis. Is the Smartish same size as the Synthesis?
