From someone over on X - glad I didn't order this thing

Yeah, that’s the kind of thing I’m (mildly) annoyed with missing out on (techwoven). I’m not even sure I’d like it any more than a more heavily textured case like the sheath (which I’ve never liked), but I’d like the option to try it without having to buy the pro/pm. I usually try out a lot of cases but only keep one or 2. It’s just nice/fun to have options. I’ve been pretty satisfied with my Pitaka Lucid Blue Edge case for the last several weeks. Favorite so far this year.Same! I’m still holding strong with my techwoven. I don’t think I’ve ever loved as case as much as this one. Don’t see myself getting a different case anytime soon
I grabbed it… figured it was gonna sell out and it did, it’s actually a lot more comfortable in hand than I expected considering the big ass corners. I didn’t pick up the strap. I’ll try and snap pics tomorrow if I remember. But gonna keep it and rotate it in & out just for nostalgia.From someone over on X - glad I didn't order this thing

It’s a lovely case.I’ve been pretty satisfied with my Pitaka Lucid Blue Edge case for the last several weeks. Favorite so far this year.
I have about 10 cases, but only 5 "models" of case. I thought I would just make a post with the weight of the cases in one place for reference. These are all 17 Pro Max cases.
TechWoven 34g
Apple silicone 35g
Pitaka Summa 36g
Caudabe Synthesis 49g
Caudabe Sheath 53g
I am not sure how (in)accurate my scale is, but my naked phone its comes in at 234g, and Apple says it is 233g. So fairly close.



The main appeal for me was the covered plateau, but here I am with the synthesis as my daily driver and my sheath and 2 paragons sitting in my drawer. But now I consider paragon and sheath two cases that I wouldn’t even bother with if it wasn’t for the plateau cover. And unfortunately there is a very limited selection of cases out there that cover the plateau.In reality, wiith 10+ cases, all of which I prefer to the Sheath, I’m not missing out on anything. I think it’s this forum’s obsession with the brand that makes it annoying… 😂
Can someone describe the texture or feel of the sheath? I’ve heard so many people complimenting. I’ve had dbrand grip case and leather cases.
It’s not like the Grip, as in it’s not rough-grippy. It feels like a stone, really. That’s the best way to describe it.Can someone describe the texture or feel of the sheath? I’ve heard so many people complimenting. I’ve had dbrand grip case and leather cases.
No way. That picture is deceiving as well.
Dont like the front. Back looks nice.From someone over on X - glad I didn't order this thing

I tried Pitaka Sunset yesterday. Fitment was almost perfect, but I kinda don't like classic cases any more. It feels pretty good in hand, very light (only 19g) and thin, but I really miss screen lip, because I used to putting my phone display down a lot and I don't use any screen protector.
Remember the good ole days of the Apple Silicone Product Red? I miss the color so much.
Ultramarine was special. Shame they discontinued that.Remember the good ole days of the Apple Silicone Product Red? I miss the color so much.
And the Ultramarine! With they kept those two colors.

Fit and finish doesn’t seem to bad. Feels heavy, solid and almost chunky. Impressed so far; should’ve threw Paragon on order. Not sure it’s end all end all; but nice.
Here we are, it’s the middle of January and Caudabe still only offers one case, in two colors, for the Air. Pretty sad. Given that they’ve been claiming to offer “minimalist perfection” for years, you’d think they’d embrace the opportunity to show what they can do for Apple’s “minimalist” iPhone option. I guess, perhaps, that minimalism is no longer actually their thing.
Orange phone with the Sunrise caseWhich color phone and Pitaka do you have![]()
would you say its grippy? curious about this but i already have the synthesis frosted 😅It‘s the frosted version so it feels like a frosted case, basically. Smooth sides, frosted back.
Nice, I like thatI'm a sucker for a matching setup... and damn you all.. just ordered a black sheath, because...well, can't just have blue

They have sent me iPhone 17 version.
Email sent and Im sure they will rectify their mistake. Total shambles.
Ive not had a smooth ride with Caudabe at all this season to say the least.
Pics posted by members in earlier posts are deceiving. Back of that Paragon is not BLUE BLUE. And yes It's exactly as shown on their website and looks good. Unfortunately I cannot pair it with my Cosmic Orange hardware just yet.
