I’ve been using the Sheath since they started making them. The 7 Plus, I believe? There’s a reason they’re so popular among the most rabid iPhone users. They’ve always hit the perfect balance between fit (not too loose, not too tight), protection (they’re protective without being over the top), and looks (they’re at home with someone that works outside, like me, or in an office environment).
This year is the first time I can remember that they’ve had issues. And let’s be honest here…the issues are overblown, for the most part. I get lots of people here don’t like that they can develop the “condom ring”, but it simply doesn’t bother me. I just don’t see the difference between that developing on a Sheath and intentionally buying a case like the Frosty that already has a ring embedded in the back.
Then, just to show how personal cases can be, the action button debacle, where they released their initial run that had an open action button. I actually prefer my Sheaths that have the open action button. But man, you’d have thought they’d committed a cardinal sin not covering it. So they bring a covered action button and people complain it’s not clicky enough.
My point with all of this is cases are personal. The Sheath is my favorite case, by far. Followed by the Synthesis. The Frosty is probably 3rd, followed by the Nomad Sport and Nomad Horween.
I’m not making excuses for Caudabe and I’m not their fanboy. I just love how their cases fit and feel and think the issues people have ranted about this time around are overblown.
