SHEATH
I've had the sheath every year since the S22 Ultra, and it has gotten better every year. This year, from the already perfect fit and texture- the case still feels as robust and premium as ever. This time with aluminum buttons that provides a nice tactile feed back and incredibly easy to press that also make it feel premium with a nice glossy-like look that gives it a sudden contrast in certain lighting- and they are not wobbly.
The case is still thin, and easy to hold; doesn't add much weight. The Shocklite or the polymer adds some flexibility to the case, but still feels strong and nice feeling with the microfiber lining. S Pen comes out no problem, and the cameras are recessed into the case, so it will not touch the surface when laid on a table. I have the Violet S24 Ultra and the titanium ring around the cameras look amazing with the grey case.
The best addition they've added this year is definitely the Magsafe function. I'm glad they continue to listen to the feedback and added it this year- which now adds a slew of accessories you can use with the device now. It is now pretty much the perfect case. This year they've also added the Synthesis case. I don't personally use it, but I'm glad the option is there for those that want more of a heavy-duty case and it shows their willingness to support Samsung devices a bit more- which probably added to the development time to why this took so long to come out.
There are still some things I would like to see: More colors! The Iphone's have a ton of colors and I'd like to see more of them come to the Samsungs. Given that the case covers the entire body of the phone like a phone, it's almost like having a totally different colored phone.
An earlier release! S24 series came out in February, and it is now end of June. The wait time for Iphone's is much less when compared to. Although, I get they added the Synthesis series this time around, I'd like to see the same prioritization if possible in the future, but the wait is always worth it!
Different S models! These cases only come for the S Ultra series each year. It would be nice to see more of the other models in the line get at least the Sheath treatment as well, but that may be asking too much. I would also like to see Mezzo for things like the buds pro 2 case and such.
Other Android devices! This one is probably a long shot, but it would be nice to see at least the Google Pixel in the line up someday, or other phones! You'd never know, but there's probably not enough traffic for those.
Overall, the Caudabe Sheath is a masterpiece of a case that I am excited to get my hands on every year for both Iphone and Samsung- but mainly as an Android user. It's nice to see the constant improvement to these cases, and as Caudabe grows, I hope they will expand their reach of products to other audiences besides just mainly Apple. A case I can always recommend.
Really pleased with my choice of this case! Material feels great, form doesn't add much bulk to the phone, and it feels overall really sturdy and protected.
I also took a bit of a gamble on the colour- I chose the grey one, because it looked a bit green-toned on the website. Thankfully, it is definitely a cool toned, army/khaki/green-ish grey, which is exactly what I wanted for my Alpine Green iPhone 13 Pro.
I have nothing but good things . My case fits perfect and feels great
Just over a year of light use and the case came apart - the sides separated from the back and gluing it back together didn't work. Another piece of expensive plastic in the landfill.
Hi Ben, thanks for the review. That definitely doesn't sound right! Seems like you got a defective unit. No worries though - check in with support@caudabe.com to see if you're still covered under warranty. They'd be happy to help!
I have purchased Veil cases for several years. I have dropped my phone probably twice on the corner and had no damage. I recommend Caudabe for people who basically rarely drops their phone but likes the thin case cover with excellent quality.
