Either does my Sheath and Apple Silicone.
I'd forget the leather cases they all have one issue or another, doubt you will find one.
Iv'e tried 3 that can get here and returned them all, I don't buy from OS.

Yea but I don’t want that gap on my leather case.
That’s the reason I went with Andar. No light gap near the port. And as far as the size, specs don’t always tell the full story. I have the Keyway, which is basically the same case as the RL (closed bottom which has the same gap near the port), and I have two Andar Aspens and the size difference on paper is really imperceptible in real world use.

Agreed, I’m glad I jumped on the Andar train. Posted these in the patina thread but it’s looking decent as well IMO

Thanks again. So far I’m leaning towards Ryan London because their specs are pretty much exactly the same as the Sheath and Andar seems more chunky according to the specs.

Below in mm

Sheath
149.5
73.6
12.1

Ryan London

Andar
152.4
76.2
12.7
According to your measurements, the sheath is smaller in length and width than the apple silicone case. Is this for the 15 pro? I’m using digital calipers and the silicone case measures:

150.1
74.0
11.2

I got mine today. Love everything except that it has 0 lip around the screen with a esr screen protector. Shame.
Surely that’s a good thing? The screen protector is protecting your screen and swiping isn’t being inhibited by an annoying lip.

For those of you who have both the Phone Rebel and the Sheath which one do you prefer? The Sheath has just been delivered to me but currently using the Rebel.

I find the Phone Rebel case very hard to take off...
Sheath for me because of the texture and the design. I'm not a fan of the design of the Phone Rebel at all. I get that some people might like it, but it's not for me. The Sheath is more elegant and looks more refined which is important for the line of work I'm in. I would be borderline embarrassed to use a case that looks like the Phone Rebel in front of my clients. But again, that's just me.

I’m not implying you do.

I’m stating as it’s spoken like it’s a new or isolated issue when it’s been a widely spoken about issue from launch, with various cases.

I’ve never seen a full leather case without some issue, waves along the sides is another one.
Streaks in the leather, some like I don’t. It’s a fault to me.
Corners popping off.

you can tell .5mm in length? .4mm in width? 1mm depth? Must have bionic eyes 😀
Didn’t say you can tell but you can see it if you butt then against each other. But you can’t tell when in the hand. The Silicone and Sheath are so close in dimensions.

However as an example when I ran the Symmetry there’s a huge difference in the hand especially the Symmetry being a lot wider than the Sheath and Apple silicone. And although the Pitaka specs on paper is good, it’s boxy and the edges are sharp and the grip isn’t good for me.

Of course the symmetry is a protective case the others are not.
