I’ve been meaning to post my Native Union case for the 15 Pro Max. I wanted something bold this year and changed from normal Caudabe to Native Union and super happy I did. Awesome looking case and it feels amazing. I love Caudabe cases but they can be dull.
Wow, this case looks amazing! Is the Yatay material they are using water resistant in any way? I always hesitate to buy real leather because of how much it rains where I live.

Absolutely love this combo.

So tempted to order but the stickiness over time really puts me off. I suppose the lighter colour will show less pocket lint
I feel like the only person that doesn't find the Apple silicone cases to be "sticky." I am not a huge fan of how they tend to hold up over time, but I have never had a problem with lint that can't be fixed by simply brushing my hand across the case.

Sod it. I’m giving it a go. You never know, change might be good. Hopefully the silicone quality has improved since I last tried one.

Thanks @Sal09 for the 10% perks link.

Time will tell as to whether I keep it! IMG_3862.png

Does anyone know how the buttons are on the gripzilla? I like how they have the pronounced corners this year! Any feed back on previous years buttons is helpful as well. Think I’m going to order it and check it out for us.

Edit: order placed! Report back tomorrow when it arrives.

Kimguard, Silicone Magnetic Magsafe Case with Microfiber Lining, Natural Titanium.​

For some reason, the pictures look a little greenish, but in person, it looks more grayish, almost matching my natural titanium. The picture I took in the mirror shows that it blends pretty well for an $18 case. The buttons are excellent and, in person, are very crisply cut.

I'm interested in trying either Pitaka or Mous in that aramid fiber. Can anyone tell me what kind of feel the back has? Is it gritty at all or is it as smooth as a clear case? Trying to find something new that won't slide across a smooth surface.

Alright, I ordered the Synthesis. I like the new design a lot and the fabric lining is a nice upgrade over last year. I do like the side grips as well. I'll live with the action button cutout and request the free replacement when it's available.

The fabric lining is only on the Sheath as an FYI

Celestial Blue Caudabe Synthesis on Blue iPhone

I love the pairing and the Synthesis feels great in hand this year, I wasn’t sure about it when I first received it without the phone in it but once I slapped on the phone I instantly loved it.

I used to be all about the Sheath but loved the Synthesis last year with the new grips on the sides and this year I remain Team Synthesis lol

Can’t wait for the free revised action button version

Oh wow, amazing photos. That blue is outstanding. And I love the new Synthesis design. I was not a fan of that weird camera bump on the Synthesis 14PM. This looks so much more subtle and classy. Someone mentioned somewhere on here that Caudabe cases look dull. I beg to differ. I love how sleek and understated their cases are. Just the right amount of design.

Seriously?! What is with these case companies! They even have this image on the Synthesis product page:
whitebanner-3-D-min_141cc134-afe1-43c5-8a65-e539f854d86b.jpg

That sure looks like felt lining to me.

The case will be fine without the lining, I just don't understand why they'd update one with the lining and not the other. Absurd.

Yup I thought in that pic it was felt too until you zoom in it’s just the lighting on the plastic. My synthesis came in just waiting on the gray sheath to see what one I keep.

Thanks for confirming. I can live without the lining. And I like that the Synthesis is lighter than the Sheath and has the side grips, plus I like the design touch of the indent by the camera.
