Just contacted Caudabe Synthesis regarding the stiff volume/action buttons and they told me that I should wait a couple of weeks to see if the buttons become softer..

Why should I have to wait for buttons to be come less stiff? Surely I should be granted to a refund or exchange?

Just demand an exchange. Usually they will not even want the original case back and will send you a replacement out straight away.

Caudabe said the same thing to me. The buttons only get slightly less stiff with use, they’re never going to be as good as floating buttons - it’s the nature of the beast.

Unfortunately, a replacement won’t resolve the issue either, though as others have intimated, the new green may be somewhat better. Any other color will be the same as they’ve always been (mediocre).

You can try to stretch out the buttons a little by poking them hard from inside and out repeatedly with the end of a pencil or similar.
Worked for me on pre-revised Sheath.

I just picked up an used FineWoven in black and I am very impressed. This thing feels amazing; form factor and buttons are flawless. Coming from a Spigen frosted Ultra Hybrid and everything just feels tighter.

Two big thumbs up from me and this may actually help in my ever-losing battle to not upgrade each year.

on sale here from $99AUD to $37

I got mine on Amazon, used - like new, for $22. There was some creaking in the sides that was bugging me so I split a piece of electrical tape and put it inside each side of the case and everything now feels rock solid.

I had a free one from apple, slippery sides, back got marked easily hard to clean, bottom was sharp on pinky, cut it up to see what gives lol
Buttons and magsafe was good. Very light.

I have the Phone Rebel Crystal Series Gen 5, and of course it says “Non-yellowing” in the description. I’ve sent them an email just to see what they say regarding my case turning yellow 4 months after purchase. I really like this case as it’s lighter and has more customization than Caudabe’s clear case.

Shame this Benks Aurora ArmorPro is out just before the new phones as otherwise I might have got one.

Hopefully they release the 16 Pro Max cases before phone launch again this year. Going to try to stick to one or two cases this year (😒). Want to see what the Sheath is like too with floating buttons, just hope they nail it straight away instead of the multi revises this gen.

Does the case feel good in the hands?
 
Paid $25 CAD to get the Zagg vinyl back out on. Good to use the phone naked with but made it too greasy and slippery.

Ripped it off today when my Caudabe Sheath arrived. It’s gloriously grippy and thin.
 
FineWoven case is getting returned. The sides creaked and popped just holding into it. I put electrical tape on the inside and it helped a little but nah, not a fan.

Back in the Spigen Ultra Hybrid this morning.

I had totally fogot about this issue until today, but has anyone heard anything about the dbrand Ghost Case 2.0 replacement? This is the last official word I have been able to find from dbrand about the topic - from reddit. I can understand them taking their time to get the product right and avoid a repeat of the first version, but we will all have new phones at this rate.

I am really liking the Spigen black frost, it's kept my OB symmetry in the draw.

Wow disappointed with Caudabe.

I emailed them asking if I could exchange the defective case with the very hard buttons for the new green Synthesis case since they are the same price. They are asking me to place an order for the new synthesis case, cut up the defective case and send them a pic of it cut up and they will send me the replacement case and refund me for the new order once that has be done.

I mean what is the point of all of that? The case is defective. I have no issue if they want me to send the case back first and once they received it and tested it, they will then replace it. Why should I have to place a new order and then send them the order number, that is long...
