I have plenty of black cases, none of them do I need to clean on a regular basis.
Not sure why anyone, you or anyone else, would think that’s normal
Nice, my Sheath is turning gray, time for a bath 🤣
I noticed this with my Sheaths over the past few years. My theory (it’s just a theory) is that the rough surface acts as a kind of sandpaper that lightly abrades the skin, which builds up over time causing the gray haze.
Be careful, you’re not allowed to criticize Caudabe on this forum. 🙄
What’s there to be careful about lol 😀, you worried that the Caudabe boogyman going to come after him and all the nit pickers.
Well if you were debating between black or grey, I guess you’ll be stuck with grey either way! 😂
I’ve got the Space Black iPhone Air with the Tank so I don’t use the skin.
That's your answer lol I have 3 black cases here that don't need cleaning, I only buy black.
Well yea that’s what I’m saying. I’ve had a gray Sheath for over a month and never had to clean it once. Get a gray Sheath and the worry is over. I’m getting my black Sheath today and I will report if I have this issue

How long before you give it up and start again for the 19 pro?Well yea that’s what I’m saying. I’ve had a gray Sheath for over a month and never had to clean it once. Get a gray Sheath and the worry is over. I’m getting my black Sheath today and I will report if I have this issue

Hmm, the open version kinda loses some of the visual appeal. I didn't realize how much of a difference the closed camera opening makes, but it really loses its unique look on the open version.
Pro black precise Sheath in the house as we “speak”.How long before you give it up and start again for the 19 pro?
Ty ty. The ventilation hole at the end really maximizes the efficiency of the vapor chamber. Can you do a two-tone cosmic orange and deep blue stripes version, please.
Got a chance to install the replacement batch that supposedly has better hole alignments, and it’s much better. The lens cutouts are still not 100% centered but much better than the old batch. The bottom speakers are perfectly aligned whereas previously, the speakers were a bit higher up.
@Sal09 Not sure if you waited a full 24 hrs for the adhesive to cure, but thats what I did. Also, what I did was put the top in first, then pulled the bottom of one of the corners, push the phone in, then pulled the opposite corner and side while simultaneously pushing the corner of the screen down. You can barely tell on the back.
Also, no exposed aluminum on the front. Looks exactly the same as before the skin was installed:
Not sure if the cure time or technique worked, but I’m overall very happy with how it went. Definitely takes a LOT of patience to align the skin before squeegeeing out the water and carefully heating up the edges, while pushing down with your fingers, making sure not to stretch it. 🥵
Just a note for those interested in the full body skins, the sides are not 100% covered due to the curvature of the frame:
I just said F it, might as well just try the full body skin since I paid for it, and if the top peels off, then I’ll just toss it. To my surprise, none of the sides peeled off.

It’s been one week since I ordered from caudabe but no tracking no email no nothing. And no way to track my order online. How long do they take?
Caudabe has had more than a few issues with their shipping and delivery dates this year. It may be a long while… or not.
