I know what you mean. I work outside and inside my work truck, the temperature can reach up to 10 degrees hotter than it is outside, which has caused my 17PM once to shut down due to overheating and I had to put it into my cooler to cool it down and turn it back on.
Yeah I feel that. We are currently entering the third week with temperatures like this:

(That 39 is 102 degrees Fahrenheit)

And my phone has been unusually warm these days with a higher battery drain than usual. It could be the fault of the latest software update but I figured a thick layer of PC or TPU will not help the situation. I can’t go caseless, so open plateau it is right now.
 
Has anyone ever seen a sheath or any Caudabe case in the wild?
I haven't, or no one I know has ever had one.
Who is keeping them going? US and EU?
Also nope here. It's always yellowed clear cases or falling apart cheap silicone from Amazon. I do see the occasional Apple case on people with the 17 series though. Mostly the silicone ones.
In my circle I'm the only one with a special interest/hyperfocus on phone cases. 😅
 
BTW, he thinks I’m nuts with all of these case shenanigans, which is not unreasonable.
I imagine that he may have a similar interest in a different topic? I think in our case, it's as much about protection and style as it is about enjoying the discourse around it here. Some people collect/cherish cars or watches or apple watch bands or shoes or handbags. I've seen a guy with a huge backpack collection. For (some of) us it's phone cases. I really see no difference. 😉

I've noticed this too with my phone in a Sheath that covers the plateau. Not sure if its related to the case either but like you said, I suspect it isn't helping matters.

I'm in Düsseldorf. Around here, you constantly see people with the latest iPhones and everything... but no, I've never seen anyone with a Caudabe case. 🤣
Most cases are just some random no-name brands, usually clear ones. I think this whole case hype isn't really that big of a thing here in Germany. 😅
 
Going forward, if I ever get a leather case again I think I’m just gonna go straight to AliExpress or LuckyCoin. The markups from Bullstrap, Ryan London, Andar and the others get higher and higher each year. And they more or less all come from the same factories.
💯
 
Got email a bit ago advising my Caudabe order (17 Pro Sheath, precise + extra buttons) has shipped...well, at least the label has been printed, hahaha. So, if you've been waiting, should be seeing movement soon'ish.
I was told shipment held up in customs last Thursday.


We sincerely apologize for the delay in shipping your order. A large portion of our inventory that was headed to our Cincinnati warehouse has been awaiting U.S. Customs clearance over the past week. Due to recent changes in customs processing and tariffs, clearance times have unfortunately been inconsistent.

While this has been frustrating for our logistics team as well, we’re actively working with them and our customsbroker to move the shipment through as quickly as possible. We do expect to receive it this week, and your order will ship shortly thereafter.

That said, if you would prefer to cancel or change your order instead, just let us know!

I don’t think it’s a big thing anywhere to be honest.

They sent the same message months ago. I swear Caudabe never gets this right.
 
I know its nearly July and we're at the end of the case buying cycle but I'm pretty pleased with the TineeOwl (especially for the price). I'm not sure if I like it as much as the Sheath yet but it feels like if the Sheath and Apple Silocone case had a baby.
