It’s not tooooo bad for lint, but in all honesty, I’ve not had a silicone case that doesn’t suffer with it. My Apple silicone on my 12P did get better, one of the reasons I sold it was because all the colour wore off the corners so quickly, but I wear quite tight fitting trousers for work, and it was a mare getting in and out of my pocket. I’d say this feels a little smoother/softer but in honesty, there’s not a huge amount in it.
Got a tip for us?

OK thanks, that's enough to stop me ordering 🤣 It does my head in. Thanks for the info.
I swear, a case gets like 3 positive comments in a row on this thread and then a lot of people buy 😄 The Jade color for those interested.
I know right 😅. I need to keep away from this thread for a while or I'll never be satisfied with my current collection.
The forest green is very tempting, but that price is killing me 🫠
These posts with the other colors of the gripmunk are making me jealous since I went with the plain black one 😂 the jade looks really good.I swear, a case gets like 3 positive comments in a row on this thread and then a lot of people buy 😄 The Jade color for those interested.
This is unfortunately the best lighting I could get for that color. In many other lighting situations, it looks super minty in my opinion so I returned it.
I've already got the Forest Green on backorder from Amazon (albeit at the same $65), but the Blue looks good, too. I really liked the Bamboo version I got for $45, so I'm interested in some of the other Limitless colors.
If only the blue was in stock during the sales last week....
EDIT: So I cancelled the Amazon Green backorder, and ordered both the Green and Blue direct from Maus with the email signup 10% code. This is why I'm Mr. Willpower!
Damn, if only I had money like that
I'm still thinking about the green though
Looks good with the natty.I swear, a case gets like 3 positive comments in a row on this thread and then a lot of people buy 😄 The Jade color for those interested.
Got the Gripmunk in black ordered as it's a better Sheath than the Sheath. Two week delivery though..... (US to UK).

I was going to order but with prime the delivery date was like 5 days out. Don't know why it's so slow here in the US.
I ordered mine this morning and delivery is tomorrow. 15 Pro blues on the green.
It's because Smartish doesn't keep a big stock with Amazon I think. I was tracking their shipping times a few weeks ago, and sometimes its 5 days out and other times its next day arrival.
Depends on location too. I’m in Philly and for 15 Pro if I ordered today I’ll get tomorrow.
To be fair to Caudabe, the build and tightness to the phone is better on the Synthesis. Feels more solid. But by not very much. The buttons are way better on the Gripmunk though.
However the price difference from $16 to $42 has to be that Caudabe is a more established brand and can charge a boat load more.
I do like both, but the price difference would make me pick the $16 case if I had to pick one
I prefer both the sheath and the synthesis to the gripmunk. The back on the gripmunk feels slick to me. Grip on the side helps but it was noticeable. It's great for the price though.
Yes. Look at the Spigen Enzo and Benks pro vs Pitaka. Significant price difference for basically the same case which is pretty close to an apples to apples comparison.
I haven’t got the Gripmunk yet but the Synthesis vs Gripmunk might not be an apples to apples comparison.
The weight of the Synthesis never bothered me like most people have posted here and even the buttons didn’t until I got a taste of what buttons should be like.

The back of the Synthesis I would consider slick but the texture helps. But the matrix grips make it a grippy case for me.
Now it’s weird my Spigen Mag Armor doesn’t have any texture on the sides but it’s grippy to me. Probably cause of the sides being TPU and rounded sides.
I agree, Caudabe has more of an established and well-liked brand. But Smartish was featured in wirecutter and other publications the last few years for having great phone cases. Their rep is definitely increasing. Hope their prices don't follow suit!
