Which protective cases have the same level of fingerprint resistance as the Sheath? Smartish and perhaps some of the Otterbox models? Are there others?
Caudabe should make a highly protective case to compete with the Phone Rebel and Mous.

When I ran the Smartish it would get fingerprints and smudges. The Otterbox Symmetry might be close but compared to the Sheath dimensions too big so a no go for me. Others have commented that the Symmetry is more protective that’s why it’s bigger but like I said I don’t need a more protective case than the Sheath.
The Sheath is the closest in dimensions to the Apple silicone without being boxy and sharp edges(like the Pitaka pro) and without fingerprints and smudges and good grip.
After all the cases I ran the Sheath almost literally no fingerprints and smudges.
Why not have 2 cases? One for everyday use like the Sheath and one for when you need maximum protection?

It’s hard to say if the Symmetry is actually more protective than the Sheath/Synthesis. Otterbox only claims “military grade” which is 4 feet.
For sure, the Sheath is the king of no fingerprints.
I actually have 8 cases… lol. Recently I’ve been running the Sheath, but I hike almost everyday and yesterday I was standing on some slippery rip rap taking photos/videos when the thought crossed my mind that my phone would be toast if I dropped it in that scenario. I like the Sheath around the house, but I’m not going to change cases every time I walk out the door. The PR and Mous are probably the best compromise at this point.

The extra long on the bottom of the nomad gives me extra clearance for typing. I find it easier to type because of it
The RL isn’t the slimmest case? It’s pretty slim. In fact it’s slightly slimmer than the Sheath. Form factor it has chamfered edges, edges aren’t sharp or boxy similar to the Sheath and Apple silicone.
Ending up returning it based on my posts? Absolutely not. Don’t know what made you think that? Do you even have the RL, Sheath and Apple Silicone to compare?
And the open bottom edge isn’t an issue even a little bit.

Nice. Is that the Walmart, I mean Amazon special? 🤣 The Andar, Bullstrap and Ryan London killer?
I didn’t care for that case at all. None of the buttons work in it except the stock. All the others I tried (black and orange) felt STUCK
I wouldn't worry about buttons being loose.
However, tight fitting cases might get looser.
My old Pitaka Pro, Mous Limitless, Phone Rebel's fit got looser even though I took my phone out of it once per week for cleaning.
I'm out of black accessories, have them both on my Frosty & Aramid cases.
Yeah it’s either while the case is on, because the button slits let in a lot of crap. Or while I’m taking it on and off.
It’s the spigen mag armour.
So your not returning it or not yet.
Why didn't you wait for closed bottom they look better on their website.
Not worth $126AUD for here, no case is.
Suppose it depends what screen protector you use and how rounded off the edges are. Flolab edges are absolutely fine, whereas the Torras I was using before felt horrible around the edges so swiping up without a case wasn’t fun at all.
No I don’t cause I swipe up at the line, ez peezy. And even if I don’t hit the line doesn’t feel bad. This case is 🔥
Plus having open bottom is way easier swiping up.
