Wound up picking up the spigen rugged armor in gray and it’s honestly one of the best fitting, fraction of the price of the sheath cases I’ve come across. Even the sandpaper grip is super close for $17bucks it’s a no brainer. This thread comes in clutch so many times!

It’s a dang good piece for the money! Agree! I like the side cats tongue friction lol. Not too little; not too much!
 
Why doesn’t everyone just wait until Caudabe stock normalizes? I get placing the order in September and being upset but it seems everyone has cases, great cases at that and we’ve Caudabe gets right with stock, then order….

I have to say something here because I’ve seen this mentality posted before. This is the incorrect approach.

Why doesn’t Caudabe just learn how to launch a product and keep inventory and stock just like any of the other case makers? Their staffing isn’t hardly of concern to the customers. They knew the information required to produce and launch a case just like all the other manufacturers ahead of time. They need to do better. Period.

Quit coming in here blaming us, the customer.

This is the correct approach.

Agree there is a Caudabe thread to discuss their shipping and delays.

But they should just advertise all their cases as preorder until they can actually ship according to the indicated times.

Telling customers hey you should not have ordered and our shipping times don’t mean anything is really poor customer service.

I mean that’s fine, anything I say in here anyways people aren’t going to like because all of you think I’m a paid shill 😂😂😂. But it’s wild because all this bad talk about Caudabe and everyone will still buy the cases anyways. If you don’t want to support them then don’t buy and cop a different case, tons of great options out there. Complaining to the moon and back isn’t going to speed anything up.
 
short review of the air bumper. great protection for the sides and screen. no protection for the plateau. i read or saw a review saying the buttons were mushy. i disagree, the buttons are great. they are very clicky, perfect. it is slick but so light. it’s almost like going caseless. i used it for 3 days and today went back to the clear shadow case but already miss it.
 
I gave up on the Sheath when they went magsafe, too heavy and MagSafe hump, and too much $$ for what they are.
Not sure now but back then the case came away from sides easily.
Also shipping to Australia even if in stock was 2-3 weeks.

Don't they just mass produce them in China what's the hold up?
 
ESR clear case with camera control button. No real lip on this case in terms of screen protection. That’s fine since I use a glass screen protector. White Dbrand skin, first time installing and I didn’t do the best job. Oh well. Love the bright white phone with the orange Apple wallet. Buttons on the case are okay, no issues but loose the clickey ness.

How do you like the case?

It’s ok, I don’t know if it’s actually worth $100 though. I do feel like it adds a little more weight to the phone. But that could just be me.

Nonetheless I’m not only returning the extra one I received, but I’m also considering returning the one I was going to keep as well. That is if they ever respond back to me.

They are pricey for sure.

The Arc Pulse is actually very light, like under 20 grams total for many models, which is around half of what most cases weigh. For context, the Apple Silicone weighs around 35 grams and the Caudabe cases are around 50.

I had good customer service from them earlier this year in the off season, but like a lot of small companies their customer service desk is probably swamped right now with the new phone rush. I suspect you’ll eventually get your refund.
