Does the TO feel thinner / lighter than the Sheath when its on the phone?

It actually does feel thinner and lighter when on the phone. It weights 52 grams, so it's not really that much lighter.
A few months with MP Sheath black.
Still feels like out of the box, can’t see any deterioration of the texture, minimal dust accumulation inside, no ghost ring on the back (using original charger). For now preeety happy with the Sheath. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Cheers.

Anyone have a Black Caudabe Synthesis for the 17 Pro Max they are selling? I know they are few and rare.😬

Well, shoot. I’d pretty much given up on Caudabe due to so many QC and CS issues over the past couple of years, but decided to give the Sheath a try since we’re well past the fall rush and I figured they would’ve remedied any QC issues by now. I was wrong. As you can see in the photo, the back of the case is dramatically warped. It mostly straightens out when on the phone, but not completely. Along with that, the plateau cutouts are a bit off center, the camera control is loose, and the buttons rattle like crazy (I guess they corrected this on the Pro cases, but neglected to do so on the Air??). Overall, pretty disappointing for a case marketed as “minimalist perfection”. It’s a shame because it would be a pretty nice case otherwise.
I guess this answers the question of whether or not the TineeOwl is a “Sheath Killer”. 😉

Yeah, it’s a shame they can’t get it together.

Nudient in Teal anyone? Apparently it’s got a better build quality than past years.

Does this Gripmonk have a CC button or just CC protection?
Tempted to order one but "CC protection" is throwing me off.

currently using the tank again on my air for the past week. after reading @Zensō post i breath a sigh of relief. i dropped my air just after getting it from my kitchen table to the tile floor in the apple bumper case. thankfully it bounced of a corner landing facedown. last time i used the bumper.
off topic: i do some app development and apple offers some images of phone bezels for marketing purposes. you can put your app screenshots inside the phone frame. anyways, working on my website i noticed apple offers frames of the iPhone Air in gold and blue apart from black and white. i wonder if they were planning on 4 colors. i still would have chosen black either way.

I’m reading that as it’s a cover, like Spigen have in some of their cheaper cases.
Works really well tbh

Wish 🍎 made a TW for the air I’d love to see that.

Not sure how you’re reading that as just a cover.
“Giving you smooth, responsive access for snapping, zooming, and split second selfies.”
There are also reviews of people saying the button works just like the phone’s button itself. So it’s definitely a working CC button not just a cover.

That is why I don't use any screen protectors. Almost every drop and it breaks.
According to drop protection (on flat surface), there is Arc Pulse better than Pitaka.

"covers and protects the CC button".... Doesn't state it's a physical button.
The Spigen cases that have a cover over the CC button work just as the button would too. It's a thin TPU type material.

Yea, it’s confusing. In their pictures it looks like an actual button, but the description reads like a cover. It might be like the Spigen core armor with just a thin rubber membrane over the button.
Guess I’ll just order one and find out. What’s another $15. down the toilet

Tank case arrived for my 17 Pro and it’s great! Alignment seems good, all the new buttons are responsive and it really doesn’t add much bulk to the phone despite looking like it should.

Better the screen protector than the screen.
True. If only the version for the Air fit properly, which in my experience it doesn’t.
