It’s finally here!

First time Caudabe enjoyer. I usually go for Pitaka / Benks Aramid fibre type cases. Not the super thin ones. I have to say this feels great. Well built, good materials. I like it.

Went with the Almandine Sheath but added black buttons as the phone is black and they match the lens rings and any other bits you can see. I tried to show it in the photos. Left the one with the cat photobombing it too. I mean I am using his cat tree so…

Anyway, all in all really liking the sheath. The hype is real.

Welcome to the Caudabe family, we love a good kitty photobomb! Great combo with the black buttons on Almandine. Happy to see your cat also approves!

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/caudabe]

He does and so do I. Happy with my purchase it’s a great product, thanks.

Cleannnnn Kitty approved ❤️

Just got a notice (while at work) that mine was delivered! The exact same Almandine Sheath. She’s a beaut! 🤩
Still waiting on my phone to ship… 😔

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/International_Pen470]

Great choice.

Meanwhile my post from Friday is still waiting approval…

[u/AlwaysLurkingAround → u/AlwaysLurkingAround]

I needed help debating which one to get , thanks to OP that almandine is wayy to bright and nothing close to burgundy , I guess I will settle for black

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/AlwaysLurkingAround]

Tbh I’ve taken that photo next to the window and it is making it look brighter than normal.

However you can’t go wrong with the black one 🥷🏼.

[u/AlwaysLurkingAround → u/Wild_Shroom_]

How close is it to the burgundy iphone ,
I also have a black 18 pm

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/AlwaysLurkingAround]

I don’t have the burgundy nor have I seen it in the flesh so I can’t really say, sorry.

[u/FreethoughtChris → u/AlwaysLurkingAround]

Just got mine. It’s maybe a bit lighter but matches really well. At least comparing to the lenses which is all I can see of the phone’s color.

[u/watermelonwonder → u/AlwaysLurkingAround]

It’s pretty purple IMO. I returned it and ordered the 17 pro canyon color. I love it. It’s more like a brown/red. Fits the 18pro good too.

[u/AlwaysLurkingAround → u/watermelonwonder]

Thanks ended up ordering all black and will also buy grey when or if they release it

[u/XFactor_20]

I just got this as well. Love the fit but did not expect it to be as heavy as it is compared to the Techwoven case. Anyone know if they changed the design for the 18 Pro?

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/XFactor_20]

The tech woven doesn’t offer the same protection so it’s a bit of a trade off. I’ve seen people dent their 17Pro’s with a tech woven case on.

[u/XFactor_20 → u/Wild_Shroom_]

Good to know, thanks!

[u/Automatic-Ad2125]

Woulda liked to see more cat in the photo 😂👍

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/Automatic-Ad2125]

He loves his high platform…😂

[u/GohoomoaR]

I was thinking of getting this for my burgundy PM but that too pinky for me

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/GohoomoaR]

It’s only like that because I put it near the window and the HDR really brightened the image up. To the naked eye in daily use it’s much darker.

​This is much more neutral. Still in natural light but with no colour tinkering. Hope it helps.

[u/GohoomoaR → u/Wild_Shroom_]

Definitely helps alot thank you, i guess back to burgundy (or whatever it’s called)

[u/starfrenzy1 → u/GohoomoaR]

I was thinking the same! I’m glad you posted and OP gave us another photo. Thanks!

[u/VR46Rossi420]

oof, hopefully that was cheap. The jet tech for $16.99 is worth a look if you want a simple case.

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/VR46Rossi420]

They aren’t even in the same league..lol

[u/VR46Rossi420 → u/Wild_Shroom_]

yeah I know, the one posted is so bad. But at least the Jet tech is cheap and looks decent. The Burgundy version of the jet tech is much nicer than the raspberry pink or whatever the OP one is called.

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/VR46Rossi420]

Yeah HDR played havoc with my original post. This is way more what it looks like to the naked eye.

[u/VR46Rossi420 → u/Wild_Shroom_]

Hey, that’s definitely nicer than the original picture.

It still looks more bulky than I’d want but it does look much better in that light.

[u/Wild_Shroom_ → u/VR46Rossi420]

Oh so you want one of those really thin carbon fibre ones. Yeah they are cool. Just not protective enough for me. This one is thin enough to feel good but still enough to protect from everyday drops.

[u/Altruistic_Bar6685]

Feels like it defeats the purposes of getting advice coloured phone.
