This is a classic example of not doing enough product testing before committing to a design, then not testing their subsequent redesigns thoroughly enough either. I guess we wait for Version 3 to fix the ring indent? As I said in my earlier post, I feel like a beta tester for Caudabe. 🙄My post 10,936 I don’t think they can unless they thicken the back and get rid of the felt liner.
Read this article and you’ll see how the felt liner idea back fired.
However a quote from the article.
“Part of the challenge with the iPhone 15 series Sheath arose due to the flexible nature of ShockLite, the proprietary polymer we use. If the inner wall of Sheath was not sufficiently thick, an imprint of the magnet would appear on the back of the case. On the other hand, if the wall was too thick, the strength of the embedded magnets would be drastically impaired. A difference of even 0.1mm could have a significant impact.”

I’m back wearing “Woody” for the occasion.
Looks like the sheath is suitable for me. I tend to use my phone 1handed and would shift my hands around to reach for the corners. Hence, a relatively grippy back would help with that
I have the sport and rugged case. Your spot on the buttons. I prefer a slim type of case, hence the rugged case is out. If I were to find any faults with my nomad cases, it would have to be the bottom cutout for the speakers and fingerprint/oil stains are visible on the sport case.
I have Nomad’s Horween leather case, and the bottom cutout is even worse lol. I don’t mind it too much though as I really like the smooth tpu sides and metal buttons. I might get a Sport case later in the year if they have more color options, fingerprints might bother me though
Unfortunately, due to its reflective surface but still somehow grippy. You can see the difference between a day usage and after wiped down.

Ah I see, thanks for sharing that. One of my first cases for my 15 Pro was a clear backed plastic case, and I found myself often taking it off to remove any dust found in between the case and the phone, and often wiping the back clean of fingerprints. I might as well throw it in the trash bc haven’t used it in so long, and I haven’t bought any more plastic cases that show fingerprints
I have the same case. At first the bottom annoyed me as well but noticed now it gives a bit more room for typing and I find it more comfortable to use the keyboard now with the bit of added length
Anyone with a Ryan London and a Andar aspen? I’ll have the red and green Andar but I’ve heard good things about the Ryan and need me a nice saddle brown leather case. Bulk strap is cool but the camera looks like a tumor and I hate the open bottom
I do… Ryan London is nice high quality leather but personally, the Andar leather just feels one step up and I prefer their colours. I have the saddle brown RL case and it’s more of an orange shade than brown.
just searching this thread for more recommendations, any reason why you are getting rid of the Commuter?
Already have one - thanks! I have the Commuter and a Torras Guardian and I swap them at least twice a day - I am super indecisive.
i have a similar review as @RRC , though I think RL has the better quality leather. Andar has a variety of colors (the Moss green patinas beautifully) and the RL does indeed feel more orange. If you’re looking for a saddle brown type color, I think the Andar camel tan hits it the closest.
Thanks guys! Gonna message them to see if I can add the camel tan to my order of the turquoise.
after forgetting I even bought it since I’ve been in my phonerebel or Andar I’ve decided to pass it forward. $60 shipped if anyone wants the bandwerk with apple logo. Box and all that included. No scratches that I can see. Hmu 15PM.

Sorry was out and about all day with Holiday stuff, I’ll try to snap a few tomorrow. There’s def some in this thread way back too.
Trying to decide if I’d like the aramid phone rebel, or andar aspen more 🤔
Interesting, 2 different cases. Why not both? PR for when you need protection and then Aspen for everyday use.
Someone posted that the Sheath and Synthesis was unnecessarily heavier than the Apple Silicone but has the same form factor.
What makes the Sheath heavier than the Apple Silicone? And with the Sheath being heavier wouldn’t it offer better drop protection than the Apple Silicone?

True, they’re very different. I guess it’s just a matter of which case I’d personally get more use out of. I’m leaning more towards andar because I already have the Mous and caudabe cases, which are sort of the more protective cases.

Have you been running the Sheath, and if so, have you seen any sign of the MagSafe indentation? I contacted Caudabe this morning with hopes of returning mine for a refund because of this issue.
The Sheath seems slightly thicker, and their TPU formulation seems more dense than the silicone used in the Apple case, which probably explains the difference in weight. I have yet to see drop tests of both of these cases on the same phone, so it’s difficult to say, but intuitively the Caudabe appears to be slightly more protective. Neither are what I would consider very protective cases.
