Which Case Did You Get or Recommend For Your New iPhone 15 /Plus /Pro /Pro Max?

I had the Sheath for my 13PM and I eventually needed a warranty replacement because the case got a little loose, and I don't think I took the case off more than five times. But I absolutely loved the feel of it!

Maybe with the revision I'll have to try it out and see if I like it more than the Symmetry for my "out of the house" case. I'll probably end up liking the Sheath more because I feel that the Symmetry is a bit too wide for my liking. But then again, most cases are gonna feel too wide compared the Apple Silicone case lol

the sheath weight is over the top for what it is, heavier than the symmetry

I agree that the Sheath is a little heavy. For weight I preferred the Symmetry, but Sheath is much slimmer and easier to hold one handed for me. Symmetry might have better drop protection though bc of the high screen lip, Sheaths lip is pretty low.

I cracked a screen in a Sheath. Similar situation to yours but most likely a corner. In my opinion it’s not a very protective case, similar to the Apple Silicone and other minimal cases in my experience.

I’m actually back in the Symmetry today. I always forget how nice it is (though a bit boring). I agree, it’s a little wider, but definitely more protective than the Sheath. I have a v2 Sheath arriving tomorrow, I’ll be comparing directly. There’s no way the new Sheath buttons are going to be better than the Symmetry buttons.

I sort of think the Sheath is protective like the good ole Magpul Field case and the Synthesis protective like the good ole Magpul Bump case.

Sheeeeesh, I forgot that the Sheath is 47g's. That might just take it off the list then. I'd rather get the Frosty, since it doesn't weigh that much more and I'd definitely feel more confident in the drop protection of the Frosty

I got my Frosty today, love it! I see it replacing my synthesis for my daily driver. I still want to try the Nomad Sport Case (anyone have a good coupon?) But this one is going to be hard to beat. I love the way it fits in my hand.

The charging hole is definitely on the smaller side, but I could easily enlarge it with a file or drill bit. I only use wireless anyways so it's really a non issue for me.

The back is super smooth, but the sides have a medium grip to them. I wouldn't say it's a grippy case, but neither is it a slippery one.

The magsafe isn't quite as strong as my synthesis, but it still sits tight in my truck and snaps to the chargers in the dark on my nightstand while I'm waving my phone around like a crazy person just fine.

My synthesis came today, definitely not the updated version. The buttons were unusable but used a little cut the openings a little bit more and now I have an updated synthesis 😊. Also, no visible MagSafe ring on mine.

I’m definitely keeping it, now I’m all set with cases,

Phone rebel frosted with blue titanium kit
Blue caudabe synthesis

Happy camper

That's what I did too, just cut them a little bit when I first got it, made a world of difference.

I'm definitely going to be ordering me some blue and orange buttons!

Good workaround!

Per Megan at Caudabe re: the Synthesis:

Any order placed from this point on includes the version with the minor tweaks.

Order placed for the c blue!
