The first run of the non Magsafe case for the iPhone 12 didn't have the slits and felt too firm so they added them on the revision which also fixed the side bulge issue. AFAIK all Magsafe versions have had the slits.
 
Only one slit per button on last year's Sheath.

Wonder why it’s 2 on each button now. The fit on this case is incredible though. I had the FW Apple case before this arrived, and honestly it’s not close which case is better. And this thing was $20 less.

I got my code for the updated sheath action button case late Wednesday night, ordered the button case yesterday(sheath in gray which was on pre-order) and it shipped this morning.

When did you request for the code? I sent email 2 days back and still don hear any update.

I think it took around 4 or so days to hear back from them originally. If you don't hear back within that time frame I would suggest hitting them up on Twitter(X) and they should help! I do know they are behind at the moment due to the traffic of emails they have.

Got my synthesis in. While the fit is tight and I love the grip, the volume buttons are mush and the action button is terrible. I think it’s just too small. Doesn’t have enough give. Hard to tell when pressed.

Same deal with the Sheath’s action button.

I got the Sheath and Synthesis action button cases in today. Super excited. The Synthesis is exactly like my cutout version which I was surprisingly happy with except now it also has the button on top of the action button. Fit is amazing and buttons feel good on mine so I'm not sure what's wrong with yours. I guess I can sort of tell there's a bit of a difference in button "feel" between the action button, volume buttons, and power buttons, but I wouldn't call it "mush" and definitely not "terrible". All good to me. I still feel the haptic vibration easily when I press the button.

The Sheath is great too. Now my biggest dilemma is just figuring out which one I'll use more often. I'm so used to the grip on the sides of the Synthesis now. The magnet seems a little bit stronger on the Synthesis too. Not a huge difference, but a difference.
 
Anyone have any pics of the following:

Black titanium 15 Pro/Pro Max with Black Synthesis

It works. But feels like a pimple. Nothing like other action buttons I’ve used.

I like both, but have always gone back to the Sheath. Something about the texture, fit and design. It seems just right to me. Or maybe I’m just used to it, having used it for so many years now.
 
Which other cases have you used?
Too many to remember. But the Synthesis was the worst. Only one that was worse was the Mujjo leather. That one just didn’t work. All other buttons you felt that button feedback. I don’t like the one they have on the Synthesis. I am hopeful maybe it’s just mine but the button is tiny.
 
Got the Black Sheath for a 15 Pro. First one had a magnet doubled up and wouldn’t sit flush. Took some time to reply, but they were great and sent a replacement. The replacement seems to have an issue too though. The power button side has some give if you pushed on the edge. Like it isn’t sitting on the phone right. Didn’t seem too bad, but now it’s starting to click/snap back into position when I take it out of my pocket and press on the edge by the power button. Like it’s catching on the glass.
What do you mean by the magnet doubled up?

I’m with you on that. I just got my action button versions of the Sheath in and I absolutely love the case. I was fine with the cutout to be honest, but this is better. Everything is basically identical to the cutout version otherwise . Excellent fit and overall quality. It’s a really polished product.

The circle magnet is made up of numerous little magnets under the felt. One of the magnets wasn’t flush in the case. Felt like it was double stacked on the edge of the magnet next to it. Created a lump in the case.

Does anyone have a picture of the natural titanium in the celestial blue sheath?
 
Posted in another case forum, but my grey sheath came in today. Love the combination with the white iPhone. Typical caudabe quality. Clicky buttons, perfect fit, strong MagSafe. Had the sheath last year, same great case this year 👏🏻

Looking good. I agree and I think this year’s feels a little better than last year’s.

I had that a couple of years ago and they sent me a free replacement, let me keep the old one too. Great service. The old one worked fine even with the bump so I ended up giving it to a family member.

Same. New case was good. Second time I’ve seen this. Happened with a 13 Pro case too.
