Out of all the cases I tried the Apple Silicone is the absolute best form factor and best in the hand. Problem is I don’t like silicone.
Got a tip for us?

They won’t even check. You’ll get the $20 refund unfortunatelyTalk about old, dumb and stupid. Sent a couple of cases back to Amazon on Monday and just realized that I sent the Spigen Enzo instead of the Ultra HybridGuess I'll call them and see what they say.
They are expecting a $20. case but are getting a $40. case instead
i had to mail mine back to them and once they received it they shipped me a new one. it took around 3 days from me to them and around a day later they shipped me the new one and it arrived around 3days later. i haven’t opened it yet. debating whether or not to just sell it. i figure it will happen eventually again. i’m a little clumsy and couldn’t get it back in place right away. it stuck to the back and scratched the frosted surface and then broke in half when i tried to unstick it. 😳
This case makes me feel that I just finished a drinking bender..........:0
If only apple had refined the FW case a bit more before release, it could have been the perfect case for me. The form factor and light weight are great for someone who doesn’t need mega drop protection and the buttons really are the best I’ve ever had on a case. But the case I have can creak ever so slightly on the sides as if it doesn’t quite fit and the back material as we know has its limitations. I quite like the feel but wish it offered better grip and was less prone to marking up. Haven’t used it for a few weeks but back on the phone today and it really is so close to being my daily.
Yeah, maybe. What are your overall thoughts on the Synthesis?
Since Caudabe revisions have dropped. Had Synthesis was my favorite but buttons sucked, returned it. Just received the Sheath, excellent. Ordered the Synthesis celestial blue.
Those that have or had both the Sheath and Synthesis…. Sheath or Synthesis and why do you like one over the other?
I’ll start. Both are a toss up.
Once I get the Synthesis back in hand again will be able to make a better comparison. Form factor the same and weight is the same. I think the Sheath weighs like 1 gram more. The all over texture of the Sheath I really like but I also really like the matrix grips of the Synthesis although the rest of the case is slippery. I’ve heard lots say that both are heavier than they should be but I don’t find that for me.
Anyone else?

Yeah that’s my debate as I don’t think it’s a fluke unfortunately. Quality control feels at an all time low this year
Love it! It fits perfect in the hand, great quality and grip. I am very happy with this case. Also, the blue color is almost a 100% match to my blue titanium phone. I am definitely keeping this case.
Caudabe should make the Sheath a little lighter and the Synthesis more protective to create more separation between the two. As it is, they’re so similar that the choice is difficult.
They’d both benefit from floating buttons.
I already like the sheath a lot, but if it was a little lighter and had the same buttons as the Mous limitless, it’d be perfect. I absolutely love the buttons on my Mous.
It’s a toss up for me, but right now I’d probably say 1. Sheath 2. Mous limitless but they are VERY close so 1 is interchangeable.
My Taupe FW was this way and I sent it back. The black one was perfect. Still sent it back. lol
The Flex cases are ugly as sin, but they are great in hand. Of course, if you drop your phone onto an uneven surface, the sides are getting damaged.
Do you like the Sheath over the Synthesis if you ever had both?
When I saw @TechnicallyTee top video and he picked the Sheath as is #1 I was like WTF. But now I get it. Not much negatives when it comes to the Sheath vs the Frosty for instance. So I agree the Sheath checks more boxes. I had the Mous too and for me the Sheath checks more boxes.
I don’t have the Flex and never tried it. Doing lots of research and watching videos my take is since it’s a Flex PR should tone it down more to make it more minimal. Just seems like it’s a chopped off Rebel or Frosty with no adjustments to make it “fit” as a flex.
What’s your opinion why the Sheath is heavy? Is it the Shocklite polymer? (It’s not heavy for me but it looks like it should be light).
I like the Sheath—I used it as my daily for years—but the Mous beats in handily in the thinness-to-protection-ratio category. Assuming you get a good copy, I also think the Mous has just about the best buttons on the market. Always, always trade-offs…
It’s the way they implemented Magsafe back in the iPhone 12 era with an entire hard backplate including the magnets. The Shocklite has always been there and before Magsafe it was a crazy thin and light case.
It seems to be the thickness of the back and lining from what I can tell. It’s not unusually heavy, but it’s not a light case like the Apple Silicone or FW, which it seems it should be.
It's due to the Sheath having now the felt lining. Guess what though? Caudabe is adding that same felt next year to the Synthesis. That's gonna be one heavy boy lol
I know this question has been asked a million times probably but please can anyone recommend a quality case that offers good protection & grip and that looks nice with the 15 Pro Max White Titanium?
I also live in London, so I would prefer a case that does not take too long to be delivered.

Just flipping the buttons around makes it feel like 2 new cases...don't see any case at the moment knocking these two off the top of my list.
