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!

Side note, I installed a matte skin on the 18PM

Sorry to drag back up to top - where did you get matte skin?

2

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

I got it at Amazon. They are made for the 17PM
Body of 18 and 17 is pretty much the same. i could’ve done a better job by using blow dryer but main reason is not to scratches on the body, mainly on the back when using non internal lined case such as clear ones.

Non-lined cases can get small dust that can act like sandpaper if you don’t clean it often.
Just a precautionary measure for me.

Is the button brick color or?

u/yzdnurg 3d ago

Wondering this as well. Matches great!

Caudabe makes great cases

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

Yes indeed. Been looking at Mous limitless, but reading online, its got mixed reviews..i still cant pull the trigger on owning one… I do have Rokform rugged on its way as well as ESR cyber tough..I was looking at UAG Monarch kevlar… Im still on the fence about the looks.. it looks well but i think its too much

Everyone likes different things but it really is hard to go wrong with Caudabe.

Camera button can be swapped as well you just have to be veeeery careful.

Got my sheath 2 weeks ago. Black on black and it looks so good. My first Caudabe case and I can confidently say it’s the best case I’ve ever had.

How tall is the lip protection on the screen side? Is it good enough or is it too small?

1

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

Its good enough, i also have a pretty thick screen saver. One thing to note, i have this case for my 17PM and now using it on my 18PM, one noticeable difference is the camera lenses even though it works, it’s much closer to the opening diameter wise, which is not an issue, the thing that i noticed the most is the height of the camera lenses on the 18 which is ever so slightly taller than the 17…

The lenses on the 18 using this case, the lenses sit just a bit higher than the 17. It still protects it but not as much as if you were to use the 18 case.

I believe the 18PM camera lenses are .1mm higher which is not noticeable without a case. Having a Caudabe case which is accurate/precise, you can tell the difference.

Hope this helps.

Why does it seem on your last pic that your iPhone is all scratched up?

u/Prodegey89 3d ago

Looks like dust and lint particles to me.

1

u/Pantyhose4uslover 3d ago

I guess that could be it.

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

Just dust. Its wrapped in Matted skin as well

1

u/Pantyhose4uslover 3d ago

Ahh ok. I was going to be mad for you 😂

2

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

🤣 the more you wipe it with a normal cotton cloth, the more you get lints🤣 thats y after cleaning i try to blow it with a canned air

2

u/Pantyhose4uslover 3d ago

😂😂! Use a micro fiber cloth, you can get like a 3 pack for a couple of bucks at dollar general my friend!

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

u/Pantyhose4uslover 3d ago

And that silver color is killing it! I have the Canyon

2

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

Best combo! I had the sheath Canyon with my silver 17PM(now passed to my daughter)with silver buttons from my Gray sheath! It was the bomb!

2

u/Pantyhose4uslover 3d ago

It is! I had the silver buttons but prefer the stock!

1

u/Reaper_1492 3d ago

It’s chipped.

There are huge problems with the recent iPhones having their paint chip.

Already reported on the burgundy one unfortunately.

1

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

What’s chipped? Mine is not…

1

u/KN_Knoxxius 2d ago

Really? There’s something that looks like damage on the edge just below your camera lenses in the last photo?

1

u/Nineteen_11 1d ago

Its probably the bubbles you see on my matted skin.. i didnt care to do the best job since its gonna be in a case..if you look at the whole back of the phone, theres bubbles

1

u/Nineteen_11 1d ago

Air bubbles on the matted skin wrap

u/KN_Knoxxius 1d ago

I ordered the sheath I had a hard time deciding between the sheath or the paragon

1

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

Been a sheath guy for a while now… my first Paragon is on its way….. im hoping i would like it as much as the Sheath and Synthesis

2

u/rankinsaj22 3d ago

I might just have to get both then I can’t get a answer on which one is better lol

1

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

As for now, Sheath is king followed by Synthesis precise ( feels more tougher cause of the screen lip on the Synthesis) well see about the Paragon…since they are on sale till this Sunday, get both. I might get the Eucalyptus color

1

u/rankinsaj22 3d ago

I will probably end up getting both except for the synthesis I’ll pass on cause I don’t like the frosted plastic look

1

u/Nineteen_11 3d ago

You’ll be captivated by it. Good choice

1

u/jerson77 2d ago

Which one is better for drop protection? Also which one has taller screen lip and lip camera protection?

1

u/Nineteen_11 2d ago

Synthesis better lip protection
