Anyone still using the Beats rugged case for the 17PM? How is it holding up?
Does anyone have the weight of the case again? Wanna get the orange one for Xmas for myself lol

I’m not using it non-stop, but it’s in my rotation and doing fine. Really can’t go wrong with it. But maybe grab it when it’s discounted somewhere 😅 (can’t give you the weight because I have the Pro)

Ok guys, a seller in Ebay sells brand new Caudabe Sheath for 17 pro but explains in the description this:
Please note: Many of these 'Sheath' cases had minor defects/teething problems this year. The only thing I've noticed with this one is the fit is slightly wider near the button area on the front which means you can see a slight bit of the phone colour. See photos. Only a minor thing, but thought I'd point it out. Price takes this into account.
What do you think,is it worth £20 with this problem?

The Apple clear case didn't last long, not comfortable to use in my opinion, looks great but it's going back.
I'm also not using it daily but it is very high in my rotation, I'm always going back to this case (have 3 colors 🤦🏽♂️).
The case is ~49 grams but it doesn't feel heavy

That's my eBay listing 🙂 Although it's minor, something like that would always trigger my OCD.
This is the one Caudabe accidentally shipped to me (after I'd already cancelled the order a week earlier), but said I could keep it.

I know I’m not answering your question specifically, but I am using the standard Beats for the Air quite a lot. I think Apple-made cases still often hit the sweet spot between too-little and more-than-necessary levels of protection better than most. The Beats is becoming my most used all-around case and it’s holding up really well.

I got mine in yesterday and yup it's going back. The back is way too slippery. The rest of the case is very nice though

This made me want to try my first ever Caudabe case...

Interesting. I don’t find the back slippery. It has just enough bite. YMMV.
I love this too but this case is black, correct? It looks like a deep navy in the pics which is beautiful.

Never realized the Sheath was tougher than the Paragon 😕 I thought it was the other way around?

It seems as if they’re close enough to not really matter?

Paragon is the least protective, Sheath in the middle and the Synthesis the most protective.
Black sheath (precise) with silver buttons for a silver 17 Pro Max came in an hour and a half ago. Absolute beauty. Still not received my black sheath (open) after 3 months but its in the works 😀

You have 20 minutes to convince me why I shouldn’t order gray Sheath for my silver 17 pro max..

Don't do it. Unless you want your phone to look this sexy.
(I replaced the standard gray buttons with the celestial blue buttons for a slightly different look).
