Gotcha. That’s why I don’t do Aramid anymore. If I’m going to do Aramid might as well do Apple silicone for the better form factor.
Got a tip for us?

For $35 the Apple silicone is worth it. Not for $50 though.
I took a chance on this for at home. Supposed to arrive later this week.

$45 for a back cover is insanity, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued. LOL
Please post about this when you get it and get a chance to use it. I absolutely love the feel of my 15 Pro Max and the titanium frame without a case, but I’m definitely not brave enough to go without a case. Something like this, however, may be perfect for me at home. I love that it’s held in place with MagSafe, yet still allows you to use MagSafe.
That Winter Blue Apple Silicone is tempting for $35, thinking about picking one up again.
There was a checkbox under the price to take an additional 20% off. It's Amazon, they may be doing that delightful thing where they make offers to some people and not others.
Interesting idea from a design point of view.I took a chance on this for at home. Supposed to arrive later this week.

A $45 silicone non-case "Designed for those who prefer to use their iPhone the way Apple intended, without a case." It offers an "Unobtrusive shield for the vulnerable backside" and helps you to "Curate your style."
It is made from "Premium liquid silicone" though, so maybe it won't gather as much lint while removing it from your pocket like those pesky non-premium Apple silicone cases do?!?
You have to love marketing spiel.😂Interesting idea from a design point of view.

Weird product. I wonder what they expect you to do about the vulnerable front-side and side-sides. 🤔😂

I was going to pull the trigger on the warm gray for my 15 Pro Max until I got to the shipping. Almost $10, making this phone back as expensive as some premium cases. Yeah, I’m gonna pass on that, thanks.
Yeah, you'd have to be crazy to spend $50+ on that "Case". People can do whatever they want with their money, but sheesh.😅
they must be popular though lol
Due to overwhelming demand we are experiencing fulfillment delays of 5-7 business days after order placement.
I know this is an exhausted topic here now, but I just got my revised Sheath and just wanna say I notice the improvement in the buttons, and the texture on this revised one feels.. “more”.. in other words, the older Sheath feels more dull. That could be from use, but I’ve only used it a handful of days.
I’d be curious to know if the MagSafe indent (aka c-ring) shows up on your latest copy after a few days. After receiving three copies that were supposed to be fixed, but still had the indent, they’re now sending me a Synthesis. I’d like to eventually buy another Sheath once the indent is finally fixed for good.
In other words, “We only did the minimum first run because we had no idea if these would sell.”
Yea me too actually. I sold my storm blue to a coworker. I slapped it on today and was like “holy sh*t this is what a case should feel like”.
I’ll try it out and update you after some nights on my Belkin MagSafe charger. My previous Sheath didn’t develop much of a ring, only very very slight in the right light with squinted eyes and a little imagination could I see a light imprint of a ring. One of the lucky ones.
I could live with that description. All three of mine were: not obvious to the causal observer, but certainly so to anyone on this thread, and definitely beyond the threshold of annoying to any certified case nut.
I would surprised if the c ring is fixed. Like some of us have said it’s not a deal breaker but understand it is for you.
Actually it’s more like “I slapped on that mf’er”

I may be wrong, but the issue seems to show up more obviously for those who use MagSafe charging.
Also I love how the buttons are almost flush and extremely tactile and clicky.
