Yeah, it’s insane; at last count I have 17, returned more than that.Hundreds of dollars in cases over here and I’m rolling around in the $18. Owl
I’m in the Owl today too, will probably be back in the Arc Pulse by dinner time… lol.
It’s one of the best cases I’ve owned across any phone.Hundreds of dollars in cases over here and I’m rolling around in the $18. Owl
Reminds me of the Caudabe Sheath back in the iPhone 7 days.
I hate you lot.
Owl ordered with fastest delivery.

It was shipped same day.
Ordered Thursday 26th June in the afternoon, delivered today.
Didn’t pay for premium shipping
Shame they didn't make it for the 16 Pro, I would have preferred the navy blue to the almost black. My Sheath is navy blue, as is the Speck Presidio Grip2 I bought before it.
The almost black TineeOwl was delivered today (I ordered it two days ago). I like the texturing of the back better on the Sheath, but I prefer the Owl's texturing on the sides with the little dots. The back of the Owl feels a little more slippery, maybe it will feel different after I use it for a while. I like that the sides of the Owl are a little rounded, makes it easier to pick up and hold onto, and it makes the case feel a little softer in hand. There's enough of a lip around the screen to offer protection when you set your phone face down. The case fits tightly, but is easy enough to install/remove.
The cutouts around the speaker/microphone and USB-C port are perfectly aligned and the USB-C looks to offer enough room for larger/non-Apple cables. I don't feel the cutouts under my pinky when holding the phone, so that's a plus.
I do like the round Action button, it makes it easier to find it by feel without looking. All the buttons work and feel fine, I don't object to them being the same material as the case rather than metal/plastic (whichever they are) buttons on the Sheath. They're clicky enough to feel the feedback when you push them, but they're not difficult to push or sticky.
MagSafe magnets on the back of the case feel plenty strong - at least as strong as the Sheath, if not stronger. I tried it with a wallet and my desktop charger, a better test will be when I take it out for a drive in my car mount.
CC button - whatever. The CC button on the case has never been a big deal to me so I couldn't care less if it was there or not, I got along fine with the non-CC Sheath. It works fine when you push it (both full push and half push), it's a little temperamental when scrolling side to side in the adjustments. I rarely use the CC button, so I don't see it being a big deal to me either way.
The Owl weighs 42 g, compared to 42 g for the Sheath and 40 g for the Presidio Grip 2.
With the TineeOwl at $18.99 on Amazon compared to the Sheath at $52.00 on their site (not even available on Amazon), the Owl offers a lot more bang for the buck. I can't see anything that would make me choose the Sheath over the Owl, especially given the customer service issues people have been experiencing with Caudabe.
Also chose priority shipping and will be getting it on the same date and the total cost was just over $40. How did you get them to agree to refund the shipping charges?
Just got the shipment email for the one I ordered along with the black paragon. Order finally completed after exactly 2 months! Of course I’ll have to wait about more 2 weeks for the package to reach Greece.I want the gray Sheath
The new camera module design is a major turn off.. not quite sure how they managed to make it so fugly
The full length camera bar feels extremely forced and completely unnecessary

If the feature upgrades are incremental and it looks like the rumoured designs unlikely.
It looks awful
I update phone & watch every year, some years are better than others. Pretty much always incremental.
From my perspective, there’s no rational reason to do so. The titanium construction and smaller camera module make the current phone much more appealing to me. That said, by sitting out I’ll miss out on the new phone excitement and case bonanza, which honestly would be my only reason to upgrade.

Only thing that makes me want to upgrade is the fact it doesn’t cost me any more ££.
Pay monthly, interest free with BPF. Take out the new phone at the same price, sell the current one and use the money to pay it off.
If Apple put the prices up, then we may have a different story
