Wow sorry about that, maybe they can just send you a replacement.
Got a tip for us?

The buttons will probably feel better, and 'click' when the phone is in the case.....
I‘ll try and report back but I have not much hope with how stiff they are glued in.
I think you have to take it year by year, model by model. Like other top manufacturers, Caudabe has produced some great ones and they’ve also produced some real stinkers. I’m glad you like your case, and I had a very nice Paragon last year, but I also recall 3 returns in an attempt to get a Sheath without a MagSafe hump (never happened), and a CC cutout that was practically unusable. Their cases are also too heavy for what they purport to be. On balance, I’d say Caudabe is about equal with the other “premium” case makers—hit and miss at best.
I have the same issue with my Andar Aspen. I have a feeling these different leather cases are all coming out of the same factory.
I miss the old Apple Leather case…
I always thought that too. AliExpress YMW has some nice leather cases and have heard same factory as Andar, don’t know how true that it.
First the sock, and now this. It feels like Apple is straight up trolling us now.

Yeah I heard that too and was tempted to try. For the 14 Euros they cost two months back I would not have been as mad about askew buttons.
Same. So much. I put my old 14 Pro in its Apple leather case last week, just to hold it one last time.. 😅
But at least I have my leather Apple wallet still with me today.
Got my dBrand Grip case for my iPhone Air earlier and initial impressions is great ! It can fit my usual Anker USB C plug without issues at all. Also I have installed the real leather back pretty much spot on as well and it does smell really leather.
I think this case is going to be my long term daily driver now that it has the leather skin on the back of it.

Wondering if this is a new sex toy designed to go along with the sock
Yup. It’s going back, no matter how expensive the return is going to be…That is truly awful
Yeah, I received the two-day only, 35% off “VIP” email. Wouldn’t you know it, they only make one case for the Air and it’s out of stock… lol. You can’t make this 💩 up.
I believe you have to have a history of buying way too much stuff from them to receive the “VIP” email.Haven’t received any email, also their website not showing anything
I got a bad case from RL a few years ago - they sent a replacement and I didn't have to return the original (I'm in the US). If you're willing to give RL another try, it shouldn't cost you anything.
No VIP email for me
will there be a Black Friday sale?Oh that’s good to know! I’ll contact them and see what they say.
Just threw the Paragon back on, is it just me or is this one TIGHT MFer to get on the phone?
