I found the Apple silicone case to be slippery.. is it just me? or do they break in and get grippy?
Got a tip for us?

I love caudabe cases. Sheath was always my Favorite case for the last few years. Also with the 16PM and the Metal Buttons with CC it was nearly perfect. I ordered my blue precise Sheath on September 9 and it got delivered today. While waiting I ordered the frosted Synthesis which is way to Bulky for me.
So I received my Blue Sheath today and I am really disappointed. The Case had black dirt on it. I had to clean it first before I installed it. Then it has some screatches on the bottom and also the Sides are not straight. They are a bit bent. It looks like the case does not really fit. And there is also the Screen Lip. With a Screenprotector (Torras Origarmor) it is practically not existant. And also I don`t know why but it feels way heavier than Previous cases.
I am very disappointed and I removed it and threw it in to my drawer. I switched back to my Moft Movas Navy which I really like. And also as other Option I still have my Benks Armor Pro which I also very like.
I would stay away from Caudabe this year. The fit is absolute awful imo

I’d get a refund, if it’s that bad. Just zero tolerance for that and it’ll let them know the product is absolutely terrible
Yeah, it is always very complicated to get a refund here as I am also not in an EU Country. But I messaged them. I guess I will get a reply by christmas.
The reason I liked the sheath for my 15pro was because it was IMO almost the same exact form factor and dimensions of the Apple Silcone but without the silicone.
Wondering if anyone else in the US who ordered a 17PM Eucalyptus Sheath has received their order from Caudabe yet.
I placed my order on 9/24, and a user on Reddit based in the US says they ordered theirs on 10/1 and received it already. I emailed Caudabe about it and was told it’s likely due to regional shipping… except both orders are for the US.
They went ahead and applied 10% off to my order without me asking, but that’s still unacceptable imo. I really didn’t have an issue with waiting until now.

They gave 3 options to me. They were get a credit, destroy and they will refund or send back at my own expense. since I’m outside the us. So I picked destroying and getting refund waiting on their response. Had to take a picture of the case destroyed with the date.
New techwoven I received this morning is flawless so it looks like it was the right move to do an exchange. Liking it so far
Yup so I did I cut it in half and sent them a picture with yesterday date when I did it.
This video illustrates the issue clearly.Hearing all the problems with Caudabe buttons, I guess I was wrong and they should have just stayed in their lane with the button covers with slits.

Still waiting on my late Sept Paragons over here.................................
I have found that if you occasionally wipe it down with a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol it keeps it clean and makes it fell close to new again.
When they said they were going to Interchange buttons upon introducing it with the paragon. I always had the inkling they wouldn’t feel great. This was a problem I also experienced with Rhinoshield cases that have interchangeable buttons. Seem to always be not good enough for me.
It makes you think there is zero QC happening at these Chinese OEMs.Yep, they are loose as a goose
Throw in the new reverse Magsafe magnets and ding, ding, ding, we have a winner 🤣🤣
Sucks to hear you switched from the Ghost (I love mine), but you do you. By the way, has the Apple case cracked in any of the corners? I noticed one of mine did when I took it off to clean it.
Hasn’t cracked just got it yesterday.
I like the looks of the Ghost but looks don’t mean anything if it doesn’t feel like butter in the hand.
