Oh you mean the left cutout should be half the size? They are all like that, so is mine. So take a look at it from the bottom, cover up half the left side cutout with something and tell me How it looks, Looks all lop sided and not right. Simply for looks, it would make it look all un even and ghetto if it wasn’t the same...
Got a tip for us?

I don’t really agree, why would it look lop sides and ghetto if the opening was more precisely cut? You leave less exposed and having perfect symmetry on the bottom of the case is not necessary.
Cause that’s not the case on the other side. But you can also say that having a cutout half the size of the other side is not necessary. So I am assuming they picked the better of the 2 if it doesn’t matter either way. Looks! Having it half the size does nothing for protection so they chose looks... this is all guessing, who really knows why.
I emailed Caudabe, will let you know what they say. I’m going to guess that they didn’t have exact specifications of the phone when they first started producing these and will end up updating the case. I really don’t think it has anything to do with looks and I’ve seen cases already with matching cutouts and personally believe it looks better.
Really, Why would it look better tho? That’s like wearing one red and one purple shoe on your feet, Its just not matching.
I never see the speakers anyways so it really doesn’t matter to me personally. But you want what you wantBecause the goal of cutouts is not to “match” and provide symmetry, it’s to provide openings for the necessary parts of the phone that shouldn’t be covered. And two difference colors isn’t a valid comprising lol cause it has nothing to do with accuracy/sizingReally, Why would it look better tho? That’s like wearing one red and one purple shoe on your feet, Its just not matching.
Bahaha, well I thought it was valid.
I understand where you’re coming from, but would a company change there whole design casts over like a 1/4 inch cutout? That seems like a lot to do when they won’t be making anymore $ off it.

Yeah, I’m not sure I care too much about the cutouts being symmetrical. But I’ve heard that a lot of companies who claim their X cases also fit the XS run into trouble because of the new camera bump. The X cases won’t fit or won’t fit well. That would be the bigger concern for me.
Ive got 2 for the Xs, the Peel Super Thin and The Sleekore. While the Peel is an awesomely thin case, theres a slight, white color to it. Not what I was looking for, looking for a completely clear case. Now with the Sleekore, its a very different case then I have had in the past. The outer material is fabric and a more rigid interior material. I don't see this case lasting long, wether from ware and tear, or a couple drops. I have a Caudabe Lucid Clear on preorder. Based on the description seems like it will be my daily case.
Thank case looks interesting, how is the protection around camera? Does it lay flat on table?
I have forest green, cape cod blue, and the horizon blue silicone. Gonna keep 2 of the 3. I really like the horizon blue color but the lint and inevitable “shine” that the silicone cases tend to get is giving me pause.
