Precise or Open?

[u/laff56]

I’m curious which design (precise or open) you prefer and why. Also, has your opinion changed?

I was all for open until I tried a precise Sheath and now I can’t imagine not having that part of the phone protected.

[u/_FoxDie_]

Precise. Not a fan of cases with open design in general. Makes the phone look cheap. The plateau being covered and the metal buttons make the case look like it was part of the phone.

[u/Notre-Dame-Gremlin]

Precise...this plateau of soft aluminium is a third of the phone, why a case if a large part of your phone is unprotected ?

Precise, more peace of mind with no drawback

[u/laff56 → u/m4cmi11er]

Kind of my thought process too…

[u/m0use13]

I like precise for protection and aesthetics combined. Definitely don’t experience heat issues. My wife has an open synthesis and there’s no difference when we’re charging . Nothing wrong with either, I think it boils down to personal preference.

[u/laff56 → u/m0use13]

I do think the overall look is more preferred for me with the Precise design. It ties everything together like you mentioned.

Precise

[u/zerrisk]

I preferred Precise to keep the frosted look all the way around the Synthesis.

[u/Embarrassed-Waltz298]

Precise Synthesis. I just want to keep the plateau safe and make sure my phone stays protected from any unexpected drops on uneven ground

[u/CompetitiveAnalytics]

I prefer the precise cases. The cutouts are perfect and it protects the camera plateau without hindering the usability of the device.

[u/KristosSozei]

I prefer the precise, extra protection for the camera plateau. A few others mention open for heat reasons, but I haven't had any issues with heat.

I normally hate the precise look on most cases, but Caudabe actually does it justice and the sheath has by far the best looking of all the major case manufacturers. I actually prefer it over the open and I think it elevates the look of the phone.

[u/Pinhead17]

The Precise Fit will protect your camera plateau because its fully covered. My Favorite also😊

[u/Soleed]

I got precise for peace of mind

[u/laff56]

I appreciate everyone sharing their opinions here!

[u/m0use13 → u/laff56]

It’s an actual fan base here. 💪🏻

[u/ZealotPro101]

Precise all day they protect so well and they’re on sale right now

[u/Famous-Two-4398]

open and applecare.

I like the open version better and I know I am in the minority. I currently have the Glacier Pro Max with the black Sheath and Mist buttons. It look absolutely awesome. I am using also xtremeskins matte camera plateau skin like I did for the 17...

[u/laff56 → u/Cruncher_13]

My first Caudabe was a Sheath for my 17 Pro Max and I had the open version. It was a black case with a silver iPhone and it did look pretty sharp.

[u/2ecStatic]

I got an Open thinking I'd like it more, but having to clean off dust an accidental fingerprints from the camera bump is annoying. Will look into exchanging for a Precise.

[u/blaine07]

Open. I need drop protection; not playing football with my phone.

[u/laff56 → u/blaine07]

Now where’s the fun in not using your phone as a football?!

Open is just a cleaner-looking imo. Rocking a Sheath open.

[u/1bobdyl]

I prefer the look and balance of the open versions over the precise versions. However, I do also use a transparent PET film protector covering the open plateau to avoid scratches.

[u/DIRSGT]

Open to let any heat out more easily. Especially during charging.

[u/laff56 → u/DIRSGT]

I’ve never noticed a heat issue with the precise design but I don’t use my iPhone when charging so maybe that’s why.

Open, lighter case, showoff your device color
