Gift cards “wasted” on cases I don’t need.

Tech21 Flex and OB Lumen. I like the Tech 21 better (frosted > clear) but I don't like that the action button is the same size as the volume buttons.

Small update: I didn't realize the Magsafe ring glows in the dark on the Tech 21. I guess that's kinda cool, if otherwise pointless.

Lumen is going back. Scratched on the back either right out of the box or somehow in the 2 minutes it was on my phone for the picture.
The FlexPro is on my Radar. The back smooth or can you feel those ridges?
Wonder how the black titanium would look in this case. That's my Nike Volt Green color :oops:

Can we get some more pictures of this case please?

The back is smooth, the ridges are only on the interior of the case. I will put up some more pictures in an hour or so...they are taken with my iPad so sorry in advance that they will suck. I'll try to get one of the glowing magsafe ring too haha
 
#1 best Case of the YEAR ! :rolleyes:
I posted this in the caudabe thread but here is my sheath top 10 😂

1 it’s heavy
2 buttons average
3 sides not firm enough
4 lint sticks to it ask @Hooterville
5 rough but not grippy
6 gets white marks
7 condom ring
8 over priced
9 drop rating is over rated
10 3 months on they are still sending out duds lol
 
Frosted ? any fingerprint problems on the back?
Yes, frosted and no fingerprints as of yet. Here are some extra photos. The ones I took in my closet came out pure black, so maybe I didn’t give the ring enough light exposure to really show up. I’ll l try to use my wife’s phone tonight to get one of the “glow.”

Nice, is it flexable or more of a rigid case?

I'm debating sending back the Bankwerk case. It's a thing of beauty but at almost 80g it's actually too heavy. I'll keep using it for the rest of the week to see if I get used to it. Their customer service confirmed that return shipping is free so that's a weight off my shoulders.

I also asked them about their Performance Series cases (TPU and with leather back) which will be getting a revision to have an action button soon. I'm impressed enough by the quality of product and customer service that I still want a case from them. Whether it's the Classic Al or Performance Series I'm not sure of yet.
 
I’m not going to tell anyone anything if something bothers them about a case. Cases are a personal thing and what works for one person may not work for another. Nothing wrong with that at all.

What I will tell you is that I just don’t care. I’ve been using Caudabe cases for years and even with the MagSafe indentation showing up on this years cases, which is something they do need to address, the Sheath and Synthesis are still my favorite cases. If they aren’t other people’s favorites because of this, that’s ok.
I too am a long time Caudabe user, going all the way back to when they first started making iPhone cases. For a few years the Sheath was the only case I purchased. I have probably turned more than a dozen people on to their cases over the years. With all that said, this year has been a complete sh*t show. I’ve spent over $200 on their cases this year and not a single one was free of defects. It’s fine with me if others overlook these issues, but if their standards remain at this low level I’ll be looking elsewhere going forward.

Spigen Enzo Aramid on Natural Titanium! Nice, solid case. I like the look of the silver accents. It’s got some weight, similar to the Sheath. Buttons feel just as good as my Nomads. Smooth back, slight texture on the sides, seamless transition. MagSafe is extremely strong, strongest magnet of all my cases for sure. Matches with my black ESR wallet perfectly.

As expected, the MagSafe indentation is getting worse on my V2 Sheath just like it did on the earlier versions I returned. Now cue up the Caudabe faithful to tell me about the dozens of their friend’s and relative’s Sheaths that don’t have this problem. 😂

Thing is, it’s a problem for you but not necessarily a problem for others.

Quality control seems to be at an all time low right now. I've had issues and/or defects with 4-5 cases of the 12-15 I bought this generation. Raging from $20-109 so cost has no bearing on whether or not it's going to be defect free.

I still need to get around to returning or exchanging my faulty Nomad Sport Case. One of the two Stand One chargers I have died last week, so that'll need to be dealt with to0. Having to make a video showing that it's broken is not something I'm looking forward to making. Pictures aren't going to cut it with the charger. I'll figure something out.

Would be the perfect case if it wasn't a fingerprint magnet.

Can't believe I returned mine to Amazon thinking I was returning the ultra hybrid frosted :(

Not on my list. I can see how some would love it though. Fit is incredible. I just can’t get down with that egg carton feel of this case after a long period of using the phone.

Frosty is the only case I trust on a MagSafe charger without casing an indentation.
Did you get your Andar case yet?
