Now that I am using a Caudabe case. I pulled out a tactical canvas case I have had, but could not use with the Otterbox Defender, but it works great with the Caudabe case. It gives some extra protection in a tactical case meant for combat use. They have 2 versions. I have both. I am using the top case currently. The one below has the extra room for a charging battery, for earphones, and a BT-DAC/ headphone Amp. I use a Fiio BTR17.

To the people that have already received their cases: Can anybody post the exact dimensions and weight of the 17 Pro Sheath with full coverage of the plateau?
 
Think I'm going to go for the open cutout. Otherwise, you cant see the phone at all. At least the open cutout shows a bit of the phone.
With the Aluminium this scratchy, it may be best to cover every last bit of the phone…

Nobody has a Sheath yet - only the Synthesis has started shipping. Hopefully we’ll start to see the Sheath early October.

I ask again, but anyone with the Caudabe Sheath on previous iPhones about to use it with edge to edge glass protectors without it lifting?
 
My Blue Sheath was not shipped yet. Has anyone a shipping notification already for the 17PM Version?
Ordered September 9, 11PM CET.
 
Yeah, I ordered on the 12th and have been waiting. I figured they were overwhelmed, but they need to have it on the site when you order there's a delay and not 2 to 4 days. Lucky I had already received my Andar and Spigen before I got the phone.
 
Caudabe Synthesis arrived and I’m telling you 110%. This is their best Synthesis ever released. It’s so good, this is my first and final case for the 17 PM. I have no reason to search further. Bravo Caudabe, you peaked and can’t top this perfection. Pics are not great. Had to use my iPad mini 7 for them.

I haven’t purchased a Caudabe case in 2 years but I like the look of the Ember Paragon. I’m going caseless but want 1 case for situations where a case is warranted.

I got the precise cutout 17 Pro case today and it’s very nice. Fit is excellent. But all the button covers rattle. It’s rather annoying. Anyone else having this?

Anyone from Canada receive a shipping email? Someone on Reddit posted an update they got from Caudabe - they need additional 1-2 weeks to ship sheaths out. Not sure if that’s specific to their region or in general. Boy, they dropped the ball this year.

My Sheath shipped for my Air. Sheath is my go to for the 13 & 15 and I don’t see any reason to change it up even tho I think it’s slightly overpriced. My justification for the price is the cases seem to hold up very good. My brother is still using my 13 and sheath and the case still looks great. I used to purchase a case annually since wear and tear made other cases look bad but Caudabe seems to be a lot more durable

I had a Sheath on my 12 Pro for 5 years and really, really liked it and it didn’t seem to age at all.

I’ve just ordered another one for my iPhone 17. Too bad it’s weeks away from arriving :/
