The Zilla has arrived.

Give us some first impressions on the Zilla?
Super nice case, very tight to get the phone in, textured back shows no fingerprints or MagSafe ring. The MagSafe is SUPER strong. Just threw my phone in for these pics. It might be fatter than the Defender XT pro :oops:

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.
I doubt they made adjustments. Probably just the nature of the case, felt lining fastening the magnets, etc. I have a guess that the ring is more apparent on the Max phone given the lower proximity to the edges of the phone (which are stability points).
 
Loving the texture on this Zilla o_O

This case is giving me Catalyst Crux vibes :cool:

The back is textured! I thought so from the pics and vids.

My munky is so cumfy.

I might try a moss green Zilla o_O
They don’t have moss green in the Zilla.

They have so jaded in the Munky.


I wouldn’t go by the colors on their site my blues on the green doesn’t look like the color on their site.
 
@macher I wanted to share this with you since you seem to be considering Nomad and Sheath. I’ve been wearing the Sheath today and notice that the screen lip is pretty minimal.. comparable to Nomad’s leather case. I took some pics, tried my best to get similar angle on each case. Sheath’s lip appears just a hair higher.

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.
How long is the typical delivery timeline ordering off their website? Could you let me know.
 
I saw 😊 it’s taking a lot of patience for me to wait for it to be on Amazon lol
I am waiting for it to be on Amazon as well :) Because I need to know delivery timelines upfront. I usually order through some friends who travel to the states for short visits.

I ordered Aulumu instead due to the uncertainty. Should get it on hand in 10 days. Planning to get moonrise or pro 4 blue which is out of stock next

I ordered on 11/28 and i got it in NYC on 12/6. It looks great but I don’t see why they couldn’t include the alignment magnet. On the fence about keeping it
 
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.
Maybe or they could be hit and miss like the leather cases, mine is perfect except for slippery sides.

I added a Mothca lens protector to my setup today. It’s a solid piece of machined aluminum that rises above the lenses ~0.5mm, with no glass over the lenses, which is my preference. Comes with a 3M adhesive backing and is easy to install. So far it doesn’t seem to affect image quality, flash, or exposure. The case is a Nomad Rugged on a 15PM.

I see that’s the Nomad Rugged. How’s the slimness to protection / rugged ratio? From the looks the UAG Civilian is slimmer and claims to offer 20 ft drop protection.

From doing a lot of search I haven’t found a case as slim as the UAG Civilian slimness to protection ratio. However the negative I see with the Civilian is it has smooth sides and doesn’t look like it has much grip.

I've bought a few cases so far, but have been using the Apple silicone case most often.

Got the black one, since the name suggested that it would actually be black, not the midnight thing from the past generations. But not really; it's still the midnight/dark blue shade, rather than black.

Not much of a fan of than; I'm probably gonna get a different colour in spring.

Anyone else got caught by surprise here? The last actually black one came out with the 12 series, I think…

I’m baaaack! 😆
Anyone have the Rhinoshield Mod NX? Feedback on it?

Also a Rhinoshield discount code would be greatly appreciated 😇
I've had mine for a week or two and so far I am quite pleased. Got an extra backplate for it as I intend to decorate it myself, haven't figured out what I'm going to put on it yet.
