I bet you all 15 series owners are laughing at us 16 series owners moaning about camera control cut outs lol.

Who knew such a small hole could make grown people act this way.

I don't think I've ever used that camera control button, I forget that its there.
 
Just a footnote: even after getting this year's Sheath, I definitely see the difference with the stiffer lining and microfiber lining. I think I prefer the Sheaths I had for my X and 12 Pro. For some reason, my favourite case out of 6-7 for my 15 Pro turns out to be the cheapest:

The Onyx MagSafe compatible Ringke one. It was like $10 CAD.
Me as well. I keep searching for another one because I can’t comprehend that the cheapest one is the one I prefer the most. I’ve now settled on it being the best.
 
I have to say that for the 17 series, unless Caudabe bring out better colors for the Sheath and bring back the clear case without MagSafe, I will not purchasing a case next year. I’ve found alternatives that I prefer over Caudabe now.

For my iPhone 15, I went with a slim, MagSafe-compatible case for convenience and protection. I recommend brands like Spigen, OtterBox, or Apple’s Silicone/MagSafe cases, depending on your style and durability needs. A clear case is great if you want to show off the phone’s design, while rugged ones like OtterBox are better for heavy-duty protection.

DBrand Ghost 2.0 is shipping!
We’ve been waiting over a year to finally send this email.

As of today, the Ghost 2.0 is starting to ship. From now until the end of the year, we’ll be shipping somewhere between thousands and tens of thousandsof Ghosts every day.

In December, we’ll be shipping more than 4x the volume of any other month in our 13-year history. While this is certainly a stress on our systems, compounded by the fact that it’s all starting around Black Friday, we maintain confidence that all replacement orders will have left our facility within 2024.

To achieve this volume of shipments, we're optimizing our fulfillment batches based on common order contents and physical access to inventory. While we normally try to stick to a “first-in, first-out” prioritization, it simply isn’t possible with both the quantity of orders and physical stock locations of each SKU. To give you some perspective, a facility about twice the size of our main fulfillment warehouse is being used strictly for holding Ghost 2.0 stock that we have zero room for.

This is all to say that, if you see others who have received a shipping notification and you’re wondering why yours hasn’t shipped yet, the answer is: “there’s a system.” It’s a complex system that has only one goal: ship 100% of Ghost 2.0 replacements as quickly as possible. While we'd love to be able to tell you the exact date on which your particular order will ship, the honest answer from the robots responding to support tickets will be “we don’t know, but it’s as soon as it can possibly be and it’ll be prior to end-of-year.”

On a somewhat related note: the Ghost 2.0 will be open for pre-orders to the general public later this week. Don’t worry: we are not shipping a single new order until 100% of the committed Ghost 2.0 replacement orders have shipped. You’ll see this commitment reflected on the website pre-order notice: new orders for Ghost 2.0 are not shipping until Q1 2025.

We’re sharing this information about the public pre-order availability for two reasons:​
  1. If you visit the Ghost 2.0 page and see that it says “Shipping Q1 2025,” don’t panic - that date does not apply to your replacement order.
  2. To reiterate that your order - and all Ghost 2.0 replacement orders - remain at the front of the line. As stated above, no new Ghost 2.0 orders will ship until all committed replacement orders have shipped.

We’re super excited for you to finally receive this product. It’s been a very, very long journey to get here, but we’re confident you’ll be pleased with the result. As always, thanks for sticking it out with us. Your patience is more than we could have asked for.

Keep an eye on your inbox for your shipping notification before end-of-year. As we’ve stated in all past Ghost updates, this email is going out to hundreds of thousands of recipients. If you have an urgent issue, reply to this email for help. Otherwise, we'd appreciate it if you left us on "read."​

I came here today for exactly this. How serendipitous. No email over here yet.

Aaaand it came early. Very solid, buttons are great, obviously a fingerprint magnet but it’ll definitely be in my rotation along with my Bullstrap leather.
Any pics you could upload would be appreciated. I've seen the renders, but wondered how it'd look on the real phone. What color is your 15 Pro/Max? My 15 Pro is natural titanium so I'm hoping it won't show the fingerprints as much.

Also curious about the frame of the case. How does it feel as far as comfort/grip? Thanks!
 
Here you go, my friend. 🙏🏼
