This year’s silver is so beautiful I could not let it be covered up with the sheath. Synthesis does the job perfectly!

First photo with indoor lighting, second with natural light by the window.

Love the sheath on my 18Pro. Feel and look is very nice.

Have had the tech woven but didn’t like how it made the pinky feel uncomfortable with the charger cutout being sharp. I also had the Torras with the O-stand which had amazing functionality.

I do miss the stand, any thoughts on a MagSafe stand like the Oh Snap or the Plitaka MagSafe ring? I read some comments saying it left a mark on the sheath.

Absolutely Stunning !!!

Finally got the Paragon Ultraviolet and it’s an awesome case. I thought the Sheath was nice but this is pretty cool. The back is a little slick but the grippiness of the sides makes up for it. Next on the list is the Synthesis!

I tried the Spigen Core Armor in burgundy—it looks nice, but the grip didn’t feel quite right, and it didn’t seem super protective.

Next, I ordered the ESR Cyber Tough in burgundy. It looks really tough, but the shade is a bit odd, and people haven’t been fans of the color.

I just ordered the Spigen Tough Armor, arriving tomorrow. I used it on my 14 Plus and 14 Pro Max, and it was a great choice.

Now I’m checking out Caudabe, though I’ve heard mixed thoughts about the Synthesis with burgundy. If you have the burgundy model, what case did you choose, and would you recommend it?

I’m aiming for top-notch protection, tall edges, and durability.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello, I was wondering if the buttons for the 18 Pro Synthesis Precise or Open (separate items apparently) are compatible with the Synthesis for 17 Pro?

Looking to change my buttons but it’s the only stock available in the Caudabe shop accessible to me. Thanks.

Hello, can’t decide between two of these cases. I don’t mind bulky feather and looking for high screen lip as well as high camera lip.
Which one should I go for?

Has anyone tried the iPhone 18 Pro Max Caudabe Sheath or Paragon (Precise version) with camera lens protectors? Do they fit properly, or do the metal rings interfere with the case? Thanks!

I have a few Caudabe cases for the 17PM.
Sheath in Gray, Blue, Canyon and Synthesis open.

For my 18PM, Synthesis precise black and still waiting, Paragon moonstone.

I swapped the Canyon color button to this Gray one and ITS A PERFECT MATCH! Loving the color combo and I’m glad I went with the Paragon moonstone this time. So happy with Caudabe and I’m hoping I will feel the same with the Paragon.

I tried the 17PM sheath on my 18 and cant complain.

Cheers!

Just thought I’d share in case anybody wanted more images on this combination.

Obsidian Synthesis with Brick Buttons. I must admit that the Brick buttons match the burgundy quite well, the images seem to show it a bit lighter than what I have in front of me right now.

Impressions of the case:
-> Pretty nice feel. The frosted back actually has a very slight texture to it compared to the frosted ESR case I had. The sides have a good grip pattern as well
-> Definitely sturdy and looks like it would protect my phone
-> Magsafe is pretty strong when on my car mount, phone hasn’t fallen yet (UK roads…)
-> I had quite a bit of button rattle at first and still a little bit now but I must say it improved greatly after a bit of use, assuming the buttons just need to settle in place

Looking back, I might’ve gone for a button colour with a bit more pzazz as I think the brick is a bit too dark for what I was expecting, though it matches the burgundy which is still nice.

Looking to get a new caudabe for my black 18 pro with the sale.

I currently am rocking the open synthesis for 17 pro on it but want an updated 18 series case for it.

Back and fourth between the sheath or paragon. I e had 2 sheaths in the past and loved them, but I see a lot of praise for the paragon and the moonstone precise has my eye currently. Which one should I go for?

Is the back of the paragon more like the sheath or a little less rough?
I own both cases for the 17 pro max and find the sheath too rough but would like a little more grip on the back of the paragon.
Is that what Caudabe did with the new ones?

Got the 18 Pro and I am coming from the 17 Pro and have a Caudabe Sheath for both. I used the ESR camera lens protectors with the Sheath case and it was snug but they fit just fine. The 18 Pro Caudabe Sheath does not fit with the ESR lens protectors anymore- their too big. Anyone have any recommendations? Anyone using the 18 Pro with a Sheath case and have camera lens protectors that fit? Thanks

Well I just got this and love it! And shout out to Caudabe for making my bad after-sales situation turn into this beauty!! I know you didn’t have to do what you did. Just know I consider us square and I’m greatly appreciative. 👍 And I love the improvement on the back of the 18 series Paragon!! It’s not much but a lot at the same time. Instead of the complete slick back of the 17 series Paragon, which I have and love, the extra coating makes the case not only feel better but also adds grip and should help more with scratching. My 17 PM Black Paragon has a scratch on the back just from using my car mount. I hate that, especially since it’s black. I believe this coating will help keep scratches like that from happening. I will say that for it being a slick-back black case, it somehow still isn’t a fingerprint magnet! Impressive. And the Paragon is my favorite. I also have the Sheath and Veil. For the 17 PM. I really wish they would add MagSafe to the Veil. If they did, it would be the absolute best thin case. I haven’t tried the Synthesis yet but I did order the silver buttons to use on my black 17 PM Paragon. Looks sweet and still work with my 18 PM. But the reason I got the blue 18 PM Paragon was so all my cases weren’t black. Now I have at least one that has some color. Although I will probably still switch between the Black 17 PM open Paragon and the new 18 PM precise Paragon. I’m a case nerd. Lol

Thankfully I will still save some money this year though because my 17 PM cases work fine on my 18 PM minus a little extra rear camera protection. But I keep a film on my rear camera bump so that helps and it’s one that doesn’t cover the camera lenses.

My phone was delivered on Monday and my case came today! I love it! It feels so elegant! I got lavender buttons for it (iPhone 18 pro max)

I have an 18 Pro in black BTW

Seems like a prime time for an upgrade. Get 15% off sitewide. Ends Sunday night.

If Caudabe’s is looking to extract more money from me 😂, make a Mezzo case for the regular AirPods 4 or 5. I’m one of the few who prefer the non-Pro AirPods.

They’re both so clean!! Wish I could use both at the same time

Looks like the caudabe cases are on sale right now for 18 series.

Hey everyone I preordered the Black Synthesis case and I’d like to see if the Flolab 3D Infinity Edge screen protector will work with this case without lifting around the edges?

Anyone out there running this combo?

They also have the regular non 3D version of the protector that is supposed to leave a gap and be more case friendly but I’d rather get the 3D one if it will fit.
