I’m considering getting one, the fit and look seem to be pretty good.Love my FW case. I've used it way more than any other case I've owned for the 15 Pro.

How are the sides? I ordered one recently (Amazon) and the sides were loose, creaking and popping when using. Shame because I really liked how it felt.View attachment 2408633 View attachment 2408628
Call me crazy, but I really like fine woven. Picked up the black case on Amazon for under $30 and love how it feels.
Great question. This one was actually a replacement from Amazon. The first one had uneven speaker cutouts and creaked when I used it. This one is much better, though not 100% perfect.How are the sides? I ordered one recently (Amazon) and the sides were loose, creaking and popping when using.

Just ordered one myself. Officeworks (Australian office supplies store) are offloading them for $29, so I figured I’d see what they’re actually like.View attachment 2408633 View attachment 2408628

I’m keeping my 15PM for another year as well, so I’ve been hunting for new cases to make my phone feel new next month when iOS 18 launches, hoping that will cure the upgrade itch for me.Just ordered one myself.

My Spigen ultra hybrid mag case is a bit slippery, and I’m noticing slight discolouration of the frame, so time to swap it out. I’ve ordered a genuine imitation apple leather case as well, so I’ll see if it’s any good or not. Cheap, so if it’s garbage it’s no big loss.
I did buy a Mous case, but sent it back as I found it uncomfortable to hold my phone with it on, and I’m not a fan of the lanyard holes (dust inlets). Looked at leather options, was considering the Andar Aspen, but the price is a bit off putting. I’m keeping my 15PM another year, so I might keep an eye out for a sale.
I saw that not even worth $29 imo, had a free one from apple ended up cutting it up to see what they were like lolJust ordered one myself. Officeworks (Australian office supplies store) are offloading them for $29, so I figured I’d see what they’re actually like.

I received my Synthesis Eucalyptus. I agree with you across the board! 💯 Great case! I am glad that I was reunited with the Synthesis.IMO, it definitely feels softer than the black Synthesis case I have.
Still a rigid case, just feels nicer in the hand.
Curious about this too! All the love for the improvements in the Eucalyptus makes me so tempted. Hoping they will bring forward the changes to grey too.What case do you guys think is is better in terms of protection and feeling good in the hands/grip....
The Nomad Sport or the Caudabe Synthesis?

I bought the Purple Synthesis and the buttons were very stiff. Are your buttons good? I am wondering if I just got a defective case or are buttons on this type of case just not that good?If you’re holding out in hopes that they will do improvements on the Gray, they won’t. All their focus is going to be on the 16 series from here on out.
I have the revised Gray Synthesis and I absolutely love it, I always try a few cases in the beginning of the cycle but always end up with Caudabe. It’s also always my first order for the phone.
It’s been my ultimate case and I will definitely get it again for the 16 Pro Max. Anyway if you want the Gray get it, you’ll love it and it can’t be a night and day difference with the Eucalyptus.
Go for the Eucalyptus. You won’t regret it!Curious about this too! All the love for the improvements in the Eucalyptus makes me so tempted. Hoping they will bring forward the changes to grey too.

It depends upon what you’re comparing to. The updated buttons on the second version of the Synthesis were an improvement over the original, but they’re nowhere near as nice as good floating buttons on cases like the Mous Limitless, Pitaka Pro, or Apple FW.I bought the Purple Synthesis and the buttons were very stiff.

Got it yesterday. Not as bad as I imagined from feedback I’ve read, but definitely not worth $99. I’ll see how it goes before deciding if $29 was reasonable or not. Back material feels alright, frame feels like it’s been 3D printed though.I saw that not even worth $29 imo
I did notice the edges, grip doesn’t seem too bad to me, but that’s coming from the Spigen that’s been on the slippery side for me since I got it.the cutouts on the bottom were sharp and very slippery and doesn't get better, I have the spigen ultra hybrid black frost, no discolour and grip has got better with use.
AliExpress?My knockoff Apple leather case arrived today. Quality is very good I must say. Fits well, buttons work fine, usb-c cutout is slightly off centre, but not going to be a problem at all. Didn’t expect great quality leather, and the smell confirms it. It’s pretty much the same as the cases I had for my old 13PM and 14PM. Feels nicer in hand compared to the fine woven case, which creaked that much when taking it off I thought I’d snapped something. I’ll give the leather a few weeks and see how it holds up. I might alternate between it and the fine woven to give them both an extended life before becoming bin fodder.

No, eBay. Quite a few sellers on there. Not as cheap as Ali, but it didn’t take a month to arrive.AliExpress?
Oh ok. I bought 2 from Ali,arrived for 7 days. Everything is ok: apple logo,good feeling, even animation when install it...,only the buttons needs to push a little bit hard than other cases.No, eBay. Quite a few sellers on there. Not as cheap as Ali, but it didn’t take a month to arrive.

I don’t have that issue with mine. I can barely see the glue lines around the back of the case.My Eucalyptus Caudabe Synthesis arrived yesterday and I am not that impressed.
I think it looks cheap and you can see the glue lines around the case. I also feel the case is not tight enough around the edges...I will probably sell it now..
