I have an order for a precise Sheath gray non Pro. The spreadsheet Caudabe gave me on Reddit says in stock but back log.
Absolutely doing the plain black/silver I have the silver PM but I am 100 with you on the texture of the 1500 so I might explore some color options as well. Love the Silver and black look tho!
I was able to cancel the synthesis order and went with the sheath precise in celestial blue. Now the wait begins.
Oh gosh, I just got a shipping confirmation & tracking number for my Caudabe order from Oct 4th. A 12 day wait wasn't that bad.
Is this them simply ordering a shipping label (Etsy tells my customers that an item has shipped when I've only requested a shipping label to print), or do you think it'll actually ship today?

Aulumu A17 rugged case. Fun, grippy case. Plenty of lippage for those who prefer that.
Great looking case. A litte off topic. What buttons would you pair with the celestual blue sheath.Aulumu A17 rugged case. Fun, grippy case. Plenty of lippage for those who prefer that.
What about the Milky Way makes it the best? Does it really look like the Milky Way in person, and not just that something got spilled across a blue case, LOL?
Have you ever tried the glow-in-the-dark Lumintex version? Gimmicky, sure, but I bet that bright yellow really pops with the blue case and phone.
I ordered and received a Moonrise but still waiting for my Deep Blue 17 Pro to arrive. Might have to try a Milky Way too, especially if/when a Lumintex version comes out.

What do you think about fitment
To me it looks the best and no I’ve never tried the Lumintex versions. I wouldn’t go out of my way and reorder it if they do come out with it in a few months either.
Over the horizon was just too bland and the dark blotch part on the bottom of the design was meh. I also noticed the finish of that one was the smoothest feeling and most slippery of the 3 and worst fingerprint magnet. My least favorite imo.
Moonrise is really nice and is a close second to me. The horizontal shades of blue mixed with the gray shades thrown in is really nice. The case’s texture is bumpier than Over the horizon and has better grip. The camera frame around the plateau is a slightly lighter blue than the Deep Blue color of the phone’s plateau. It all ties in and works well though.
Milky Way is my favorite, I like how it’s not horizontal lines. I had the Benks Aurora ArmorAir last year and I just personally needed a switch up from horizontal lines lol. The camera frame around the plateau is identical to the Deep Blue color of the phone like a perfect extension to the Deep Blue plateau. It is has the bumpiest texture of the 3 and most grip and shows the least fingerprints, like almost non existent (ymmv). The blue mixed with the yellow/tan that’s supposed to be the Milky Way Galaxy is such a nice combo.
It looking like the Milky Way Galaxy they could only do so much with the aramid fiber weaving to make it “look” like it lol. A beautiful design nonetheless imo.
I’ll post photos of the pairing later today.

Received my Caudabe Sheath in celestial blue for my 17 Pro yesterday.
Order date was September 9th (Canada).
I sent a complaint on October 9th about the major delay and requested a free set of replacement buttons in shade "Sand" as compensation. They honored this request.
The contrast of the Sand buttons against the celestial blue case looks very nice.
I've used the Sheath since the iPhone X and am happy to say the quality/fit is on par to previous generations. As already reported, both the stock case buttons and replacement buttons rattle. The rattling is far beyond acceptable tolerances. I have already requested replacement buttons from Caudabe after they implement the fix.
I was using the Ringke Onyx as a placeholder while waiting. TBH, the Ringke is an amazing case. At 1/3 the cost, I would say the quality/feel/cut outs are on par. The only major con I had with that case was that the camera button wasn't covered which left a hole on the right side of the case that felt odd whenever my fingers brushed past it.
If they can truly fix the button issues, the Sheath is truly the perfect case. If you are still waiting for your order, hang on a little longer. The wait is worth it. Just make sure to check your buttons.

That’s all silver (silver Air and silver Arc Pulse) but yea the lighting does make it look gold.
