Cool thanks. I might get one. I ordered the synthesis but will try and cancel before they ship.
Got a tip for us?

I got the same combo for my Cosmic Orange Pro Max!Gray Sheath / Ember buttons
Silver buttons might also be a good combo here
Mine is. Almost every time I pull my 17 Pro out of my pocket, the camera is already on. Sigh. Back to Ringke I guess.
Edit: I’ll set to double click to open the camera and see if that helps.

Cheap-o jetech case while I take the air for a 2 day test drive
That looks a lot better than I expected it toGray Sheath / Ember buttons
Man the midnight silicone is beautiful! Might be my favorite silicone case color of all time. Did you end up getting the matching band? I saw that it was linked in this thread.

Arc came through with flying colors, only a day later than promised. They used OnTrac, which in my experience has always been pretty good. Compared to the dismal shipping and communication I’ve experienced with a few other companies this year, I certainly can’t complain.
The fit and finish are somewhat improved over last year. The polish seems a bit better, and the fit is definitely tighter and more precise. I also prefer the symmetrical look over the asymmetrical design of the 16PM version.
This “case” is always light, but at 17 grams this may be the lightest version so far (the 16PM version was 18+ grams depending upon the model). On the Air, along with a 12 gram screen protector (Ultraglass), the total package is 194 grams. Amazing. In the hand it feels like an iPod Touch.
To look at it, I’d assume this combination is super fragile, but as tests have shown it’s actually quite a tough phone. Combined with the 10 foot drop protection provided by the Arc Pulse, I’m not feeling the need to baby it. That said, I certainly don’t want to drop it on a pile of rocks or down a staircase… lol.
I have a feeling this is going to be my most used case this year (it was on my 16PM). It provides such a unique experience: full access to the raw phone, 10 feet of drop protection, and light as a feather. I’m pretty stoked.

Took nearly a week for me. If you go on the Caudabe subreddit (r/Caudabe) and get in touch with them there, they say they can expedite cancellations. It was only when I contacted them that way they cancelled it. You may need to reply to one of their threads and quote their name (u/Caudabe) and also start a chat/DM with them to get the ball rolling.
Everyone trying to figure out which Pitaka is slimmer/smaller corners and etc(17 Pro Max):
I wish they did the UltraGuard Case for the Over the Horizon pattern. At the moment it's only ultra slim or ProGuard.
if these were in stock id probably order one. i’ve had em before and always liked. yours looks great. don’t want to preorder and wait till end of november.
Black TechWoven Case with Silver 17 Pro, and MOFT wallet stand (Panna Cotta)
Everything in my soul is telling me not to buy the (in stock) Caudabe Veil due to the lack of drop protection, but the 'Frost' version looks so great on silver.
Nice! Mine arrived today as well but I don’t have the phone yet. It’s actually less bulky than I thought it would be based on the description and pictures.
Here it is side by side with my 14PM Sheath. The Pitaka comes in at 36g vs the Cadaube at 51g. For scale I guess?
Caudabe needs to hire Elsie at Benks.
Can you share a picture of the inside of the camera control button? And is the MagSafe ring in the case or can you feel with your finger? Had issues with the ring on other cases marking the back of my phone.
