The blacked out Gen 5 looks amazing. Sadly, I sent mine back to Amazon today. Both copies I had were making subtle clicks and pops due, I think, to the extreme stiffness around the edges and the exposed hard surfaces inside the case. I noticed on the inside the microfiber lining is actually lower than the hard areas surrounding the camera opening and the metal logo insert, which I was concerned may eventually lead to scuffs on the glass back in those areas.Finally got some time to black out the PR Gen5 with the matte black components. Transforms the case to another level my goodness. Goes well with frosty too.
Also my updated Sheath will be here tomorrow and finally my Bullstrap Maverick collection will be here Sat. I also have an Andar coming right after Christmas. A nice way to end 2023.
Nomad sport case.
That’s good to hear! I was finally able to grab a Coastal Rock sport case and it’ll be here next week. I’ve been wanting that color forever, but it’s been out of stock.
You won’t be disappointed. Easily in my top 5 case this year.
Yep sides will come apart from the phone in a drop, first hand experience lol
Have had the sides crack on a synthesis too taking it off.
Why do you think they keep giving freebies for faults etc, made cheap as chips in china and selling for a premium.
When you dropped your iPhone did the case protect your iPhone?
As far as the sides cracking when taking it off. I haven’t seen any reports in this thread about that except you. 😀
The replacements I’ve heard in this thread were for the condom ring on the sheath and buttons for the sheath and synthesis. Other than that it’s been reported it’s a good case.

My andar case is coming today! Nice little surprise to get bumped forward from the 27th… fingers crossed anyway 😂
There have also been reports of the MagSafe magnets falling out of the Synthesis. Supposedly that has been corrected now.
The only real difference between the two I think, is the texture/grip. My pick was the Sheath. See this post for side by side pics:
Caudabe case
Here are all my side by side pics of Sheath (black) & Synthesis (grey). I ended up returning the Synthesis bc the side grips were too aggressive for my palm, but initially I really liked it. This would probably depend on your skin texture. Both are very solid cases. Edit to add: in weight and...

There is no perfect case. In my experience, the Sheath is more comfortable in the hand and easier to take on and off, while being less grippy and less protective. The Synthesis is noticeably stiffer while being very slightly lighter and thinner. The Sheath has a protective lining, the Synthesis does not.
