The bending has been an issue for those form day 1. You can try bending it in slightly from the top/bottom (it worked for my 16PM leather).
This case has been my go to with my 16PM but I’m more concerned about the edges not being protected with these aluminum phones.
Thanks for the tip.

Good point about the aluminum bezel. There definitely will be wear and tear even if you are careful.

Is it just me or is Caudabe non-responsive? I am trying to setup a return. I sent an email and two messages through the self-service portal and no response!

According to them they have been very busy. They are somewhat responding on the Caudabe Reddit group. It's been hit or miss for some.

Bought the clear UAG Pathfinder because I have always loved the look of this case, even though I wanted to boycott them until they add a camera control button. Last year was slightly understandable that they didn’t add it, but this year it’s just lazy and cheap to not add the CC cover.

Anyways, I received it from Amazon yesterday and put it on my phone… holy cow has their QC gone down hill. When you look at the screen, there is silver iPhone showing here and there all unevenly. Just all around a lazy/sloppy attempt at what used to be a “premier case brand”. Sending it STRAIGHT BACK.
I will snap a few pictures when I get home to post here showing what I am talking about. It’s too bad because I love the way the clear back looks on the silver iPhone.
 
It’s a local online retailer in Australia.

Ahhhh. Makes sense. I'm here in the US and can't find it anywhere.

I have sent them 2 emails and posted on several of their FB posts. I have heard nothing. My order has still not shipped and we are clearly past the end of September. The Paragon midnight was not on the list to be moved to an October shipment so I assumed it would have been shipped by now..

Caudabe have become so terrible with their projections of deliveries during launch.

I remember the days when I’d have Caudabe cases in hand before having the phone.

Those were the days I was still into them now I’m glad I no longer have an interest in their cases but I am sorry you and everyone else are dealing with that! I thought some people would have learned their lesson from them doing the same exact thing last year but I guess one can’t help but hope.

I understand the patience runs low when you’ve given them your money and they don’t fulfill their projection. Maybe next year I’d think twice before ordering from Caudabe right off the bat to be left hanging again.
 
Black/Grey Pitaka Ultra Slim …if anyone wants this case on discount send me a message

Suti offered me a replacement of the clear phone back I got with the white marks on it. They said clear is out of stock, so I could choose a different color, wait until clear is back, or get a refund. At the end of it all, I opted for a refund and they let me keep the case as well. Shoutout to the person who handles their Instagram because they actually helped instead of the AI bot team answering emails.
 
Yesterday I received my Caudabe order. Synthesis Frost with Ember button pack and CrystalShield Elite AR for my 17PM.

Really impressed with the quality. I think it is the best case I have ever had. I had the same case for my iPhone X some years ago but I forgot how good they are.

The CrystalShield Elite AR is pretty good too, equaling or improving the iPhone AR coating.

Any Nomad traditional Case owners or anyone ever have used traditional and modern. I can see the difference. Wondering about actual use. Maybe get this year.
 
Apple recommends not covering the plateau as it traps heat, but if you really want it covered, you can get separate covers on Amazon.

Well...if they didn't want me to cover the plateau they should have made it in black.

I've seen the covers and don't really want to stick a piece of metal on there. I am contemplating a dbrand skin to open up my case options.

Yep, now that they have blown their late September ship dates, they are totally MIA with no response at all.

Think they shipped out 3 Sheath cases and that's about it.
