iPhone 17/Air/Pro/Pro Max Cases

Got my Sheath. Don’t know and not interested in the Paragon.

Feels solid in the hands. Definitely same form factor with curved edges like the Apple Silicone but thicker and heavier of course.

Doesn’t feel boxy even a little bit. If I can run my fingers around the case smoothly it’s not boxy. Boxy wouldn’t let me do that because the edges would be more sharp like a box.

No rattling and cutouts look perfect.

So far I’ll classify the Sheath for me as being the non Apple Silicone case just what I wanted.

Nice. I’m so close to pulling the trigger on stone gray for my orange pro max. I think it’ll pick up some nice patina being a lighter color.

Andar is really great... super fast shipping as well. Stone gray will look amazing with orange

They have a nice sale happening now.. maybe better Black Friday? Who knows but $52.50 is pretty good at the moment

No label on button box?

Nope, and they are the same 2.3 size as the Synthesis buttons. I believe the new buttons for the Sheath are 2.5

 

[Hooterville]

You got a freebie?

Nope

Glad you like it.

Alpaka Flight Sling 1L was perfect for me.
17 Pro, Two Battery Packs, Magsafe Wallet and a Passport all were sitting in their comfortably.

Yea, the Flight Sling 1L is one of my favorite slings, fantastic little bag.

It’s surprising that the AS is taller and wider than the Sheath. Didn’t expect that…

Was the same with the 15 Pro too. However the Sheath is significantly heavier.

I need a leather case. Pre ordered this one

Isn’t that case primarily for lense attachments?

Yup, the minimalist Sheath has become anything but over the years. I remember when it was super simple and thin, as light or lighter than the Apple cases. A Caudabe rep said their customers tell them they prefer these beefier designs.

Are you getting any of the lenses or filters to go with it? I was always curious how their system compares to the Moment…

Couple quick side shots of the 3 Caudabe cases together.

Top: Synthesis Frost
Middle: Sheath Precise
Bottom: Paragon Precise

Which would you say is best? Sheath looks to have the best grip?

 

[AVBeatMan]

Anyone compared the Apple Tech Woven to the Silicone?

Yea when you put the AS and Sheath side by side you wouldn’t think Sheath was significantly heavier. Maybe it’s the proprietary Shock lite material?

It is. I do not plan to order any attachments at this time.

It seems so.

Yeah I tried out the sheath last year and returned it quickly. It was much heavier than my Apple cases.

Yea now that I’m running it for a couple hours starting to feel the same.

Boggles my mind how a minimalist case weighs 44g for a 17 Pro. Apple silicone weighs 30.

Damn dude. Peer pressure. 🤣

For anyone interested, they finally re-released the cactus by OtterBox. And they fix the one glaring issue, which was the camera control button.

Mous VS Paragon Very similar cases. IMO the Paragon blows the Mous away. Mous is prettier to look at and that's about it. The Paragon is way slimmer, Magsafe magnets are 10 times stronger, buttons are fantastic. The only con with the Paragon so far is the slippery back, it's like a greased pig 🐖

Which one you like best?
