Sweet! I am curious to hear your feedback. It may be a PITA to return it. Suti did the clear dirty with the full MagSafe circle 👎

Yea i wanted clear phone-back or nothing. Only options were that and Arc Pulse (and looking back i should just have gone Arc or Matter from the start). I wonder if theres a diff between suti and matter for the clear.

I don't know if it means anything, but the shipper for my first Süti order is YNY Brands, and it is still being held awaiting payment. My second order was shipped by "Ukay Furniture Delivery Service," and it's out for delivery today.
I have different names for both of my orders as well. The first one is YNY Brands as well and the second one is BCDC Ballpark Retail, LLC. Maybe I will receive this one.
 
I was in the bed sick yesterday with a migraine otherwise, I would’ve saw on my Ring camera that my Matter Ice clear phone back was delivered yesterday morning, and it wasn’t delivered by USPS, even though my tracking gave me a USPS tracking number and says that it’s waiting for USPS to pick it up. I picked the package up from my front door this morning.

At first glance, the Ice clear phone back has a little slit at the bottom where you can slide your nail under it to pry it off. It feels lightweight and nice in the hands. It’s slippery just like the Süti clear case so I expected that. All in all, I like the phone back and will be keeping this one.

anyone have recommendations for a "rugged case" something with medium bulk? After seeing all the reddit posts about the phone denting thru phone cases, I have little faith in the AS actually protecting the phone this year.


not trying to go full blown otterbox defender.
I love the Nomad rugged this year but it's quite chunky :oops:

Ive never tried the Suti one but how does thickness and weight compare to that? I did notice this Matter one is very scratch free 2 days later.

I have the silver arc pulse for my silver 17 pro. It is my daily. I generally run minimalist cases. I am intrigued by the phone back, so had to order it. I have high hopes.

The weight and thickness felt about the same with the Süti one had for my 15PM. My phone still doesn’t feel bulky with the phone back on now. I hope it continues to hold up. The Süti one I had for my 15PM was scratched before the 1st day was over and I wasn’t putting my phone in my pocket then because I was going caseless for the first time and nervous about scratches, so I carried it around in my hand a lot the first month.

Still no updates 5 days after my Suti order was supposedly handed off to USPS—with USPS still saying they don’t have it. What a cluster… lol.

Amazon UK got some serious issues.

They removed the collection option (for returns) and instead they let you keep the case free of charge.
I had that the other day haha!

I have found though that collection is sometimes there, sometimes it's not.

Through the case?! 😧 Any idea what cases they used?
 
Budget case king back at it with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Magfit - frost white

So clean on the silver especially with the frosted back …great grip, lightweight, and smudge free so far too. Apple clear case going bye bye.

Is the Spigen case less slippery than the Apple clear case? I bought it yesterday but I’m considering returning it as the phone feels like butter in my hands.
 
I was hoping that @Hooterville was just being anal with his review of the Caudabe Sythnesis but I got mine delivered on Saturday with some addon orange buttons.

I'm not sure why they chose to go in that direction, but why mess with an almost perfect case? I don't understand why they added this smooth, slippery backing to these cases, compared to previous models that had some texture on the back. It also feels heavier and bulkier than previous models.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I am going to return it and go back to using the Techwoven case I had picked up as a temporary holdover.

I've been a loyal Caudabe fan for over 5 years and am disappointed that they feel the need to make these slight tweaks each year. I'm sure someone is a fan of the changes, though.
 
Well it's late September and still no Caudabe Paragon shipment. Wonder if it will ship this week?
and the Sheath's were suppose to start shipping last Friday, not a soul anywhere has received any shipment notifications for the Sheath or Paragon :( The late September ember Paragon has been pushed back to the middle or end of October. Just plain ridiculous - Hopefully we will see some action before Christmas

I have the nomad rugged this year also. I like it a lot. Most of the bulk is only around the edges almost like a bumper case. Gives you something to hold on to. The camera button is a little too sensitive so I made it a double click to open the camera to stop accidentally opening the camera. I wish it was just a tad less bulky but it’s definitely not like a huge OtterBox.

LoL .. @Hooterville made Caudabe famous in here. Even certain YT influencers who are hiding in disguise (nowadays) on this forum uses his opinion to get clicks and views on their channel.

He is a legend and he dont do anal.
