How do we feel about the new color? I definitely don’t need any more cases, but I have 30% off coupon and don’t plan on upgrading this year. Call me tempted.

It’s a nice green. Was really hoping for improved buttons though. I’ll be upgrading, so hopefully they come through with decent buttons for the IP16 iteration.

They said they were using the aluminum buttons that are on the new Samsung Caudabes on the 16.

The new Eucalyptus color is 🔥 I have the Sheath in gray, but may pull the trigger on the Synthesis in Eucalyptus.

Send the 30% off coupon my way 😉

Does the Caudabe Synthesis feel the same way as the Sheath? I am thinking of buying the Caudabe as a present for my sis but I was not impressed with how the Sheath felt in the hands. Felt too rough feeling!

I’ve been a sheath fanatic for the longest time and I just got the synthesis about a week ago. The synthesis has a better in hand feel. The texture is a lot more comfortable and the grips on the sides are super nice! I might be a synthesis convert now. It’s amazing and she’ll definitely love it!

I may try my luck
I guess if she doesn't like it, she can sell it!

When I got my 15 PM end of last year, I bought 3 cases : The Caudabe Synthesis, Mous Limitless 5.0, and Casetify Impact. I recently gave the Synthesis a try and its been a couple of weeks now. It's definitely a sturdy case, the buttons are nice and clicky, not too sensitive just right, love the micro dots on the sides which provide nice grip, magsafe magnets work very well, and the phone snaps in nice and tight. Almost 7ft of drop protection not bad for $42. My only gripe is I find the back a little slippery and wish they added something grippy like those micro dots or something.

Damaged three fingers a couple of weeks ago in an electric hedge trimmer accident, so have had to use my phone one handed with a MagSafe Popsocket
Works amazingly well paired with my fave Benks ArmorPro.

Thought I'd try it with my crimson Sheath thinking the rougher surface would improve one handed use more, sadly the MagSafe isn't as strong as the Benks so didn't want to risk it and went back to the ArmorPro.

When the 16 Pro Max arrives I think I'll try and stick to to just getting a Benks ArmorPro for it*. It was my first case for the 15PM and after spending around a couple of hundred quid on various others, I still go back to it.







*Unlikely, lol. But I'll try to be a bit more selective.

Wonder what that capture button will be like on new cases for the new 16 Pro/Max?
Wonder if the cases will all have an open hole or actual button there?

Bought a Spigen that’s not supposed to get yellow. And less than a year, here is the result. I put a new one to compare next to it.

No return possible, I have to damage it and get a refund, according to Spigen customer service.
