Caudabe case

Their own screen protectors should leave no room for questions of compatibility.
Caudabe sent out a pack of their screen protectors along with a replacement for my early-release Sheath… easy to install and fits as expected.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of screen protectors but was feeling paranoid about my new phone so I too got a pack of their screen protectors with my Sheath. I was surprised at how easy installation was with the little gizmo they include in the box. It probably took me 2 minutes total and I'm the type to really hate putting on screen protectors.
Same here, I tried one years ago and wasn't able to get it installed correctly so I never bothered getting another. I had one tiny mark on my 12 PM screen after 3 years of use without one and it wasn't noticeable so I'm not one to feel the need for a screen protector although I'd never go without a case.
I spent more than your 2 minutes but am happy with the results... seems to be a beneficial and inconspicuous addition with no downside... 👍
Really impressed with Caudabe. Been using the Synthesis as my primary case since release, which has been fantastic overall, but the volume and Action buttons had almost zero feedback / clickiness when pressed. Found out from MR that there was a revised version, emailed Caudabe about it, and they sent me a brand new one from the latest production line at no cost.
Now I can say that this case is truly perfect for me, what a massive upgrade to button tactility, they nailed it.

Having a super hard time deciding between the sheath and the synthesis for the 15PM. I feel like I would choose the synthesis hands down if it had the microfiber lining on the inside.
Which one feels the thinnest on device and is most comfortable to use one handed and for best pinky comfort?

I have both. The Synthesis is thinner, is more protective, and has more grip. Some find the Sheath slightly more comfortable (I don’t).
The microfiber lining doesn’t really do much (TPU will not scratch glass), so if that’s the only thing holding you back, I’d go for the Synthesis.
Lots of people have asked for a lining in the next iteration of the Synthesis. That would inevitably make the case thicker and heavier. Personally, I hope they leave it as is other than replacing the slit buttons with floating buttons.
So coming from being an Apple leather case user exclusively, I have now picked up the Sheath for my 14 PM. Went with the Amethyst to match my Deep Purple phone. Honestly was just looking for a case that I could take with me to the pool and didn't have to worry about some random splashes. I have to say it's a really solid case. It's heavier than the Apple leather case, which isn't my favorite but not a deal breaker. The feel in hand is good, and all the buttons are clicky.
Trying to find "the next" case since Apple no longer has leather. Still would be my number 1 choice, but this could be the replacement.

I will say- as much as I liked the sheath- the OtterBox Cactus Leather has become my favorite for my 15 pro max. Very reminiscent of the apple leather to me
Really? You are first person that I have heard talk about that case.
There’s been a lot of discussion about it over in the iPhone 15 case sticky thread. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-your-new-iphone-15-plus-pro-pro-max.2400406/
Very impressive, and they do actually protect at the height they say they do (6.6 feet). The material is this very weird strong dense feeling TPU that's different from any other case I've tried (including Otterbox, Apple, etc). If you lightly tap the corner of the case on a table or ground with your phone in it, you get this very solid feeling thud versus a rubbery bouncy feeling that other cases have.
It's like the thinnest tank you could have on your phone lol
Thank you! Sounds great. According to their site the synthesis has the better protection of the two. Anyone has experience compared to a Mous? That also seems great, but might be a bit much.its not gonna drop from a helicopter or something 😛. I like the minimalist look of Caudabe.
I had to get one. Love that color. I’ve been rocking the gray Sheath and was tempted to get the Synthesis but stuck with the Sheath since I know I love it.
I had a Synthesis, but ended up returning it. Odd I don’t recall exactly why. The Synthesis was like holding plastic. Maybe that’s why. I really like the dot matrix pattern sides (for added grip) and it is slightly thinner depth wise compared to the Sheath. Anyway, I am thinking about giving the Synthesis another shot.
I remember why I returned the Synthesis. It felt hard and plasticy, especially the back.
There’s something addictively pleasing about the grip of the Sheath.
Hmmm…

Really hope Caudabe are up to date with the leaking of the 'Capture' button for the iPhone 16 and we don't get a repeat of the 'cutout' cases for the 15's action button. Other case makers already seem aware of it and Caudabe should be considering how big a company they are.
