New Caudabe Veil XT

Well I ordered a Veil XT which arrived today, very quickly. Right after I ordered it, I took a chance on this...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Thin-...535167?hash=item280a7b27ff:g:UeEAAOSw3ydV152R

It arrived today as well. I have to say, the eBay case is pretty damn good for $2.50. I do prefer the Caudabe's color, which is a more neutral gray vs. the eBay case's warmer smoke color. But in terms of fit and quality, they are way too close to justify an $18 price difference. Just my 2 cents.

So once you put The Veil XT on, it should never be taken off ever again and if you do take it off you're screwed? Seems like people are having issues taking the case off in one piece. Is The Veil XT that fragile? I was told if I wanted to swap cases often I should go with the standard The Veil since it's a bit easier to take off?

I have a Veil XT for my 6 S plus and it is a snug fit but I can take if and out it back on but be super careful so not to scratch the inside by the camera opening or rip the bottom of the case by the headphone jack.

Now as for the TOZO that is super tight. I damaged it getting it off - never mind trying to get it on the phone again - I couldn't do it. This one I would put on and leave it on.

I've taken it off a few times but have always been really careful. I follow the instructions and I don't try to force it. I have decided that if I do break it, I'm gonna get the tozo or the orzly...
 
I ordered 3 of these TOZO's for my iPhone 6S Plus. Why 3? I received one of these a week ago. I took it right out of the box and tried it on my phone - went right on. However, I had a piece of dust underneath so I wanted to take off the case and then put it back on. Holy cow - this is such a tight fit, there is almost no getting it off the phone. I ended up digging up the bottom edge in order to get the case off the phone.

Today I received my 3 new cases. I followed the directions exactly and trying to be as careful as possible, I could not get either of the first two cases to go on my phone. On my final try I waxed up my phone hoping it would be more slippery and the case would slide on easier. This time the case finally slipped on the phone.

If you can get this case on your phone, it's really the best of all these super slim cases. It is made extremely well with the cutouts aligning perfectly on the phone. It fits like a glove with no loose edges or lips. The camera has protection and the best feature of all is that this case does offer just a tad more grip than the other ultra thin cases.
 
The two Orzly cases came today.

Great fit, grip not bad...not great. But the flexibility comes at a price.

The sides are too loose. They come away very easily, especially at the volume buttons cut out.
All manner of grit & dust will get in there ands just not easy enough to get on & off to clean.

Ah well, worth a shot. If anything it's made me even happier with my Spigen Liquid Crystal.

Try the TOZO if you want a tight fit. No loose sides on this case. Seriously super fit and quality case - speaker holes spot on and even by the volume buttons it's aligned perfectly and tight. It also has a tad more texture than the Veil. Is it super grippy? Not really but definitely more grip than the bare phone and a tad more grip than the Veil.

Anyone have pictures of the Tozo with the Rose Gold? Want to see if the white case still shows the phone.
 
Found this on the Internet, it's a caudabe on a rose gold iPhone so it should look something like this

Can't find anywhere that ships them to the UK unfortunately
 
See attached the white TOZO on the rose gold. It isn't clear but also doesn't look as milky as the other photo shows. Check out how perfect the cutouts are.

Just a recommendation - don't buy this case if you are expecting to swap it with other cases. It's way too hard to put on and even harder to remove. I literally had to wax my phone to get the case to slide on. For me the case is that good, I'll leave it on.

Update:

Day 3 with the TOZO on my 6S Plus. There's minimal to no blemishes on the case. My Veil looked horrible at this point.

Any update on how the TOZO is holding up? I have Caudabe and have been happy with their cases due to the tight fit and design. Only major problem is the case scratches very easily. Wondering if the TOZO is less prone to scratches?

I've only had my TOZO on for 2 days so I can't speak for longevity but no scratches thus far.

It definitely scratches less than the Caudabe. After having mine on for about 2 weeks it is accumulating scratches, so it's most definitely not scratch proof. Still it's a great looking and fitting case.

I agree. I've noticed some minor scratches from normal use. Hands down better than the other super thin cases in every way. The quality of this case is amazing. I still can't get over the absolutely perfect fit and super precise cutouts. Additionally, the seams are so smooth you can't feel them at all and it's just as hard to see them.

Due to how tight this case is, I recommend waxing your phone before putting it on. That helped slide the case on and also helped to make it easier to take off.
