Most likely. Still some hesitation though because of the weight. I've always known that both cases were up there in weight, but seeing the numbers actually posted is like a gut check for me 😂 cause I cannot stand chunky cases.

The Aramid Gen 5 looks super clean too though. I might’ve gotten that one if I didn’t already have an aramid case.

Yep, I like it. It does get some fingerprint smudges after some use but easily wipes clean. I love the look & buttons, & feels good in the hand.

I know you’ve got a decent amount of cases, which one is your favorite? 😄

My SO would say “Too many” 😄. My favorite is my Dune Bullstrap, with my Turquoise Andar a very close second. I just love the feel, and enjoy watching the patina over time. After that, probably the Frosty especially after I get my camera ring & buttons. Then the Enzo. Then the Sheath. I also have a black Nomad Horween but honestly it’s been out of the loop and sits in its box; maybe I made a mistake getting black, it’s a bit boring.

Definitely know what you mean by "Too many" lol. Then when you open the mail, and you get a new case, they give you the death stare 😅.

Good to know! My Turquoise Andar should be here on Saturday, pretty excited for it.

What’s your favorite and 2 and 3?

I don't want to sound like a sellout for Caudabe, cause I post about them quite a bit, but 1. for me would have to be the Sheath based off how much I use the case, no matter what I keep going back to it. For me, it is close to the perfect case despite the MagSafe indentation. 2. Would probably go to the Mous 5.0. and 3. Id probably say the Apple Silicone, even though I'm not a big fan of the lint it collects.

2 and 3 are subject to change once my Andar Aspen gets here, but it's not a guaranteed thing, I could dislike the case, but I highly doubt it. If I had to guess based off the postings here, the Aspen will more than likely take the #2 spot.

Frosty, matte black camera ring, natural titanium power and volume buttons, ultra orange action button
(no camera hump) :cool:

This is a nice matching combo with the watch.

Yea Sheath and Apple Silicone are up there for me. I know I raved about the Schpeegen mag but after I tried the Sheath that got knocked down. And after I tried the Apple silicone same thing. All the other cases I tried didn’t check a lot of boxes. The Sheath, Apple Silicone, Frosty, Mous 5.0 Aramid, the Munky and Schpeegen Mag check some to most boxes.

The case that checks the most from above is definitely the Sheath. Can’t deny it’s a good all around case with really no negatives despite the c ring issue.

Even through the Sheath checks more boxes than the silicone, I can’t get over how much I like the weight of the silicone. Never thought weight would play a factor for me. But the Sheath is still 1 over the silicone and Schpeegen and Munky and the rest.

A family member has the DBrand ghost and loves it. I handled it and it’s slim and light, great form and melt in your hands factor.

Anyone have the Ghost?

If anyone is interested, I can upload a picture later with my revised Sheath. I can see a hint of the MagSafe indentation, but at this point, I don't think Caudabe can fix this issue, and to be completely honest, I just don't care anymore, really lol. The buttons on the revised version are top notch though.

Yeah, the weight of the silicone is great. It's not a lot to the point where you feel like you're using a case, but at the same time it is just enough to provide enough protection if you drop the phone, it's a nice medium IMO. I enjoyed the Gripmunk, but ran into the same issue that I had with the Synthesis. The smooth back. The grips on the side of the case weren't enough to offset the lack of grip on the back of the case IMO.

My only issue with the apple silicone is that they made it out of silicone! Form factor is great it’s just too much of a lint and dirt magnet. The FW is better in that regard with great buttons but just not grippy enough for me. If apple made a grippy case that wasn’t a lint magnet and didn’t stick in pockets then they would have me

What color Sheath? I’m thinking the gray shows it more. I have the gray and it’s not noticeable. I ordered c blue.

My Sheath is gray, and I think the lighter color is more susceptible to showing it. I feel like it was more noticeable on the 1st version of the case, and not so much on the revised, but it's still there. Like I said though, at this point I don't really care.

Lol no, not yet. Waiting for my Aspen to come in, then I'll decide if the itch for the gen 5 is still there lol

I have an aspen case in navy for the pro max and like it a lot. If they had brought out the turquoise when i bought the navy i would have went for that as it looks nice.

Is the action button significantly better? That’s my only issue with my Sheath. Not sure that they would send me a revised Sheath on their dime though, as mine doesn’t have any ring as of now.
