Here’s the pics of the UAG Pathfinder that I said I would post when I made my last post.

Just received the UAG Pathfinder '[Updated Version]' from Amazon but it is NOT the updated version, so no Action button. Returning obviously.
Absolutely love it though so if I can find a way to definitely get the updated version with Action button, I'm having it.
That’s crazy… go into your orders and request a replacement. I ordered the updated version and got an action button cover. Haven’t taken it off since I got it. Holding up very well to scratches or any other type of damage. All around great case. What color did you get that didn’t have the action button?

Already arranged it to be picked up. I ordered the SE Midnight Camo. Everything is great, fit, grip, buttons, MagSafe strength and looks. Just missing the Action button.
Mine was from Amazon (UK), where’d you get yours @Joe123Joe ?

You get the one for the 15 Pro or Pro Max? Don't think they every made the button version for the Max.

Out of the Frosty and back into the revised Synthesis. Feels so much lighter and thinner, but man these buttons suck, especially compared to some nice floating ones. I was going to order a sheath but now I'm not sure... @Hooterville which color did you get and how's the magsafe ring?

Pro Max. Which is yours @Joe123Joe ?

I’ve ordered again, noticed there are three options/sellers. Amazon, Amazon EU & UAG.
My first one looks like it was Amazon EU and took two days to arrive, this time I chose UAG and it’s coming same day.
Worth a try I guess, can get it picked up tomorrow with the other if it’s buttonless again.

Got the torras ultra thin. It’s exactly what im after fit wise. But it’s like a bar of soap!

So will be returning that. Think at this point I’m gonna give up. Stick to the spigen case I bought to use till the caudabe and ghost cases arrived 😂.

Hopefully I’ll have more luck with cases for the 16 series.

Are we still having Sheath MagSafe Imprint issues?

As per Liz its less likely that Sheath users are having this issue with new batches.

“Although, in our latest batches, the refinements made to the MagSafe structure do appear to have decreased the likelihood that a magnet imprint will appear. And, from what we've seen, whether or not an imprint is visible seems to be very much user dependent. For the vast majority of Sheath users, the issue is either completely non-existent or only barely noticeable”.

The latest black one I received is still holding strong with no Magsafe indent at all. I've had this on my phone for the past 2 weeks and it's doing great. Maybe I just got lucky with this one.

My latest is much better, just barely noticeable in certain light, acceptable to me.

Pro Max version, ordered on Amazon (UK) UAG the seller.

Previous order was default seller on searching for it which turned out to be Amazon EU.
So anyone in the UK wanting a Pathfinder or other UAG case advertised as an updated version, make sure you choose UAG as the seller.

Phone Rebel for one. If you watch his drop test video from last years 14 you get a good idea which ones can survive drops better than the Mous which passed, but still had screen delamination, so I would consider that a fail actually. The Benks came out better than the Mous. Don’t fall for that throw the phone at the point of lost inertia from a bungee jump or throwing the phone from the fastest zip line marketing stunts Mous do. Most protective cases will perform similar to what Mous cases do. Again, nothing special other than social media hype.
Phone Rebel's drop test videos are no different from Mous' in my opinion. Both are just using social media hype to advertise their cases but at least Mous doesn't use it to crap on other companies' cases. And besides, do any of us even drop our phones from zip lines? At most it's just waist/head height.
