Went back to the Synthesis for a few days and I really do love everything about the case (fit/grips) but the crappy buttons and how frustrating it is to get off have made it drawer bound for the foreseeable future. Giving the Spigen frosted a go today and for the weekend. So far great fit and I really like the material around the case, very soft and slightly grippy.

Is the Sheath any easier to get off?

the alignment at the cutouts was off, and there were a couple of air gaps that caused the case to creak. Not great for the premium price and a disappointment compared to the leather cases it replaced. Just my $.02.

An Apple case made for an Apple product, you’d at least expect it to fit well.

In my experience, the Sheath is easier to get off than the Synthesis. Both are tight fit. Maybe it’s the harder material of the Synthesis that makes it stiffer and just damn hard to get off. Sheath is a bit better in that regard. Still tight, still need some force, yet just a little easier than Synthesis.

For sure. Some people really like the case, so I have to wonder if Apple has made some running changes. Mine was purchased very early, just after they became available.

The buttons are slightly stiff, they aren’t the easiest and it did annoy me at the start but I did get used to it quickly and they do seem to get easier to use. For me there are other positives that outweigh the buttons, I’ve not found a decent case for buttons tbh

Bought it and returned. Really really liked it when I first put it on.... but it turned out to be an absolute monster to get in/out of pockets, those side grips are super grippy. Also not great on the pinky.

I've been so tempted by this, but heard people say the buttons are stiff (which I hate). How are yours?

I hear the Ghost has excellent buttons.
 
Anyone ever run the Mujjo shield case? Looks interesting offering good drop protection.

Honestly I initially thought the sheath felt slimmer but after using both for a while the synthesis feels a touch slimmer.

The harder Synthesis shell-like back can be made thinner without the ring indentation showing on the outside as it may on the Sheath. I'm awaiting a replacement for a Sheath built in October... anxious to see if Caudabe made any adjustments since then.

Oh thought it was an optical illusion.

There are a couple of photos further back in this thread showing even worse examples. That’s another advantage of having a rigid back plate (stiffness plus no issues with warping due to MagSafe).

I saw a post in a Caudabe thread, I can’t figure out how to link it.. pic showed a pretty bad indent on their Sheath.. said it developed after using MagSafe charger, and Caudabe CS said it was normal. I fear it’ll happen to mine

Had the Bullstrap for a while and i really like the quality. But it makes the phone so damn bulky. In weight, looks and to hold. Can't even appreciate the small bezels with it.

Tried to go without case like i did with all my previous iPhones, but the back is so slippery that i can't comfortably hold it.

Got the Pitaka StarPeak MagEZ 4 Case now and have to say i'm very happy with it. It barely adds any bulk and it is makes it easier to hold, because it has a good grip. I think i found my case.

Considering ordering the new "Moonrise" MagEZ 5 case as well, even though it is damn expensive. But it is even slimmer and lighter.

Ordered the sunset today. Don’t love that it only has the circular MagSafe part but hoping the thin/lightness will make me overlook it.

Caudabe case

Is this pretty normal for the MagSafe on the sheath? Love the case otherwise.

Oooh, I’m waiting for this to eventually show up on Amazon as I’ve got some credit to spend there. Share some pics/insight when you get it! :)
