Has anyone compared these two cases? Any thoughts? How do they compare to the Apple Silicone? Are they hard to get in and out of pockets? Thanks!
 
Never used the Magbak, but if you’re comparing Sheath and Apple Silicone, there’s no comparison. The Sheath is so much nicer. Doesn’t get stuck going in and out of pockets, doesn’t pick up a ton of pocket dust. Magnets on the Sheath are apparently stronger than the Apple case too.
 
I personally like the apple silicone more! The feel of the silicone case is so nice. The silicone case is also thinner and doesn’t make the phone as heavy. Also from my experience the magnets are stronger on the silicone case. The sheath will definitely come out of pockets more easily though.

I’ve never had the magbak case so I can’t comment on that.
 
I’ve owned the Magbak and Shealth and hands down I prefer the Caudabe. I found the Magbak to be slightly more bulky and slippery compared to the Sheath. I did like the color options that Magbak offered though.
 
I just bought a Sheath for my new 13 Pro, and it is phenomenal. Nice and slim, very snug fit, and is only lightly textured, so it gives a decent grip without the odd feel that more "grippy" cases can have. There is a small raised lip around the camera bump, so when you lay it flat, the lenses don't contact the surface.

It is a huge step up from the silicone case IMO. Got the Mesa Blue for my Sierra Blue 13 Pro. It looks great!
