What are your thoughts after a few days?

Still love it. It'll be in rotation so I don't see it accumulating too much wear. However I have since switched to the Ryan London for the time being. Buttons are phenomenal on this case.

Just finally received my revised version of the Caudabe Synthesis.

I’m in disbelief- they’ve finally done it! A case that’s buttons are all good INCLUDING the action button!! I’m stunned!!

After I received my revised Sheath a few weeks ago and the action button was still crappy, I gave up hope they were capable of doing it this year, so kind of forgot about the Synthesis and just wrote it off. So I’m genuinely shocked.

This now makes the Synthesis my firm favourite this year. For about the first time since I got my 15 Pro on launch day I think I might actually feel settled on one case!

The revised Synthesis in gray is my one and only case. It’s perfect in my opinion and I’ll enjoy it for the next 7 months until I get the 16 Pro Max

So, if a person orders a Caudabe Sheath today, will it have a MagSafe dent (aka c-ring)? Anyone receive one recently to confirm either way?
I’m using the latest revised Sheath, there is no ring on mine after a month. I only use Apple MagSafe chargers, though. Nothing with super strong magnets.

I got the Nomad leather back and put it on tonight. First thoughts are that it throws off the “naked” feel of the phone more than I thought it would. The back is just as thick as a regular case, so you can’t grip the entire thing as easily as without it.

I’ll try it a few more days, but at first glance, I’d rather have my fine woven case on, because the thickness feels about the same and obviously that has more protection.

Can you stick a few pics up?

Just received my Decoded leather case and it’s probably the closest to Apple’s I’ve found yet, lowest lip and thinnest edges out of all of the leather cases I’ve tried.

Bare Cases are a bunch of absolute chancers. A 15% restocking fee for what, exactly?😂

All return shipping fees will be borne by the customer. Please note that all returns will incur a 15% restocking fee.

Nice one.

I like that but as you say it's quite thick
Yeah, it is.

I do like it more after using it last night/today. Time will tell if I keep it on, but it isn't as bad as I thought when I first put it on. I wish it left more of the "naked" feel of the phone. The polycarbonate around the camera is bad. It's hard to describe but it makes a cheap plastic-y sound when setting it down on a table. You can tell it's a really low quality plastic. The FineWoven camera lip is much higher quality.

One good point is that the MagSafe is really strong, better than the naked phone and the FW case. It really snaps on/off my Belkin stand. It smells great too.

I have had Spiegen case for my 15 Max Pro since day 1 and I am getting a bit tired of it. I want to get a leather case, but I need max protection. Is there a leather case that is the most protective?

Full leather cases are not really protective but if you wanted full leather I would go Andar Aspen. Check out Nomad's leather case, it's tpu edges with a leather back. Not much screen lip though. More protective is Dbrand grip with a leather skin.

Thank you so much. I once had Otterbox Strada series, it was a great case. I wonder if it exists for iPhone 15.
