Waiting on Caudabe stock to normalize
How dare you buy something as a customer, actually have to pay for it, AND expect it in a reasonable time frame.

How dare you buy something as a customer, actually have to pay for it, AND expect it in a reasonable time frame.
Nobody is blaming the customer, if you know something isn’t ready then why keep buying doing the same complaining. I’m not giving them any passes at all because yeah they do have to straighten up. But here we are, they are behind so what can we do? If it’s that serious don’t but their cases, plain and simple.
But everyone here knows Caudabe move the goalposts when it comes to preorder release dates.
Correct, this is their fault and shouldn’t do it BUT, given we all know this, people could just choose to wait until stock is actually available from to order knowing the dispatch of their order will happen shortly after.
I am absolutely not on Caudabe’s side here but people ordering from them despite their ongoing issues need to use a bit of common sense
Literally all I’m saying, be mad as he** for sure if you paid your money back in September and they keep moving the date back, get your refund and be done. The thread went from sharing cases to Caudabe complain thread.
I’m mostly in agreement with you here but nobody is forcing anyone to spend money with Cadaube. I’ve had sheaths on my last two phones but based on the feedback I’ve read here, I’m either not buying one at all or I’ll be buying one in the future when they have their ducks in a row (probably motivated by discounts).
Nomad: “Flawless fit…”
Their video on Facebook Reels:
Gap around that camera lens is a FLAWLESS FIT??? Lol, Ray Charles can see that isn’t flawless lol
Good grief

Because it seems like they rely on pre orders initially. They don’t stock on initial launch except for the Frosty Syn
Caudabe is several “seasons” into iPhone cases at this point.
Don’t you find it concerning they’re relying on customers, several years in, to fund their first few productions every season?
That is poor.Nomad: “Flawless fit…”

I have also ordered one but for the iPhone Air. Mine should be here at next week at some point.
What worries me about the TW is that ring that surrounds the buttons internally. I feel like over time this will make marks on the device from friction. At the same time, I think if this was an issue we would see multiple people reporting it.
Watching people here complain about Caudabe and release timelines cracks me up. Makes me think of the gif where the younger guy turns to the older man and says “first time?”
Y’all should try being a Samsung S Ultra series user. Caudabe starts teasing cases in January, phone releases in late January or early February, Caudabe keeps teasing through March, people start getting impatient in April, and Caudabe finally starts shipping cases around mid-May to early June.
Frankly, the only thing shocking to me is the fact that they didn’t have their full compliment of cases ready to go on or before launch day. Apparently a few lucky people here were able to get some of them, but obviously a lot of people haven’t. Then there’s the teasing they did to us Pixel users where they kept strongly hinting they were going to finally make cases for the Pro XL version only to come back around launch and say they’d decided not to.
So, I guess welcome to what it’s like for Android users that have minuscule choices when it comes to premium cases? Except iPhone users have premium choices from every case maker.
As for me, as a Caudabe devotee (or an abused fan), I’ll be getting at least one Sheath and Paragon once they’re readily available for the 17 Pro Max I’ll hopefully be picking up this week to replace my 15 Pro Max.

They seem to be doing pre orders. Sort of like boot strapping.
Plus doesn’t everyone know this going in with Caudabe? “Nothing new under the sun”.
Just got the spigen liquid air because it was on offer for £10 on Amazon. It’s got the strangest camera button cover. It’s just like thin plastic. But the button still works as it should.
I’ll take it over a cut out!

I'll wait for feedback, and if everything is fine, I'll place an order.
Tinee Owl and Rebel Air in this morning.
Tinee is not good. I know it’s under $20, but the fit is not remotely like my 16 pro max version was. Being returned.
Rebel Air is a different story. Very impressed for a $20 piece of plastic. Fit is top notch, magnets are good, the only bit that’s mediocre are the buttons. Greatly impressed and keeping it.

Same ordered and I’ll wait and rock the Ghost in the meantime.
Yup, not great. The Suti on the Air has the same problem.Nomad: “Flawless fit…”

I’m waiting… ‘til the end of time. 😁 I’ve said it before, but I’m done with Caudabe because of these repeated issues. You can quote me on that (and I know you will 😂).

Sides have the grips which are much better than the Synthesis imo.
Back is a matte but shows no finger prints. I just went out and had it on my MagSafe mount, no mark at all on the case
Sorry. Would have snapped some but it’s already packaged up to go back. Realised when I tried to put it on my charger that if didn’t have MagSafe.
My own fault for checking but I just assumed all spigen cases for the iPhone had it.
