Thanks for pointing out they had the sale going on. I just ordered the Ocean Blue for my 12 Pro Max. It’ll go great with the black, navy, and electric blue Sheaths I already own. LOL! Man, I have issues.
Got a tip for us?

That green looks really nice I have to say. Loving this case, so minimal and i’ve dropped my iPhone four times since I got it and it’s protected it so well. People seem to rave about the Apple silicone and leather cases online but I think these look so much more sleek.
I have the Sheath for my Mini and it fits perfect. I really like it a lot. I've also had the Sheath for previous iPhones and was never disappointed. The only slightly negative on my Mini sheath is the buttons. They work fine and you can feel a slight click and I was fine with it. Then I bought an Apple MagSafe silicone case a few days ago. The button feel/clickyness is 10 times better than my Sheath. Overall, I like the material and look of the Sheath better. I feel the silicone on the Apple case won't age well. But the buttons are soooo much better.
I had heard a few complaints about the button alignment on the mini. It’s perfect on the 12 I have to say.
Use a razor blade and cut down one side of each button. Literally just push the blade through the material next to each button and it’ll make them much more clicky.
Done properly, you can’t even see the cut in the material.
Thank you KentuckyHouse, your fix worked brilliantly well!
Not wild about needing to improve a $30 case, but my mini's Navy Sheath now has nice, clicky buttons. Used an X-Acto knife with #11 blade for clean, invisible cuts.
The very last thing I need is another case for my phone, however I could not resist Ocean Blue. These Caudabe cases are absolutely fantastic.

Holy crap! Thanks for the info. My Sheath is awesome now.Use a razor blade and cut down one side of each button. Literally just push the blade through the material next to each button and it’ll make them much more clicky.

So, I have the Navy Sheath, and the Ocean Blue is not available for the mini.
How vivid is the Electric Blue?
If you (or someone else) would post photos of the two for comparison, that would be great.
Thanks in advance! (Really itching to take advantage of the current sale, especially now that I know the razor blade fix. ; )
Here you go. Navy beside the electric blue.
Wow, thank you!
Immediate impression is that the EB looks clear & bright - fresh. Not garish or cheap.
Think I’ll give it the nod.
Yeah, the electric blue is a really nice color. It pops, but it’s it garish. If anything, I wish the navy was slightly lighter in color. It looks almost black (unless I put it next to my black Sheath).
I’ve got the Ocean Blue coming sometime soon, so I’ll probably post some pictures of all 4 colors side by side for comparison.
First picked up Navy because it's Navy and possibly my absolute favorite blue. The Electric Blue had such a stark contrast to Navy and the PM Blue, so I had to do it. Very bright, vivid and so different. Interesting enough I have a Patagonia jacket in a color called Viking Blue and it's pretty much a dead on match for Electric blue. I can barely tell I'm pulling it out of the napoleon pocket. Love it.
Just like Apple Watch bands, I'm a sucker for anything blue.

I like the Electric Blue compare to the Navy Blue. Can’t wait for the Ocean Blue.
I have the Navy blue and like it because it’s dark and sleek. Not sure I’d go for a bright case myself but it’s cool to see others demo them here. These cases certainly feel nice, premium and well made.
That's really funny because I was on their site the other day and was thinking to myself, "how many more shades of blue are they going to put out?" Even that green they've got has a bit of blue in it. Not that I'm complaining. I'm a big fan of blue myself. Got the Navy and love it.
As another admirer of all things blue, I'd love to see at least one(1) more Sheath, for all the iPhone 12 models and the SE2 (2020):

No Synthesis case for the 12 Pro Max.
I asked them directly if they’d be making the Synthesis for the 12 Pro Max and was told no, they had no plans to. That’s always been my favorite case from Caudabe, but for some reason us 12 PM owners get left out.
My black Sheath looks awesome on my graphite 12 Pro, and the texture is great. I’m using it with an ESR screen protector, which looks practically invisible. I will admit that it doesn’t feel as tight a fit with the screen protector on.
