I have the Caudabe Sheath for my 15 pro and pro max. It’s grippy and slim. I loved the synthesis for the 14 but sadly the one I got for the 15 pro was impossible to remove. Caudabe replaced it when one of the magnets stuck to the phone. I’m also loving the Torras with the “o” ring stand.
I have one problem with the Caudabe Sheath, but it's a big problem. The texture of the case. The feel. I can't stop rubbing it. Not a big deal till you realise you're walking around town with your hand in your pocket looking all suspicious. Other than that, it's fantastic.
Couple of things.. 1. The grippy texture of the Sheath is fantastic and is all over the case, maximum grip. 2. It's half the price of the Pitaka MagEZ Pro.
Fantastic list and video. I agree with your number one. Caudabe does not disappoint. I do admit to using the Synthesis more than I thought I would, but the Sheath is my favorite. The perfect case IMO.
Pitaka is the best for me. It feels like using with no case. I can't use another cases after pitaka. But you should be carefull. Pitaka will not safe ur phone if you drop it. It is too thin so it has not amortisation
Andar is the best to me by far. Everyone seems to like Caudabe but I tried them and they did not work for me at all. Felt like a $10 case. Maybe I’m missing something.
Nice video. Really like your presentation. I agree with your picks. My daily driver is the Sheath and I absolutely love it. Very well made case. I got the Synthesis too and like it, but there's something about the Sheath that's just perfect.
I have both. The Sheath is way better in fit and finish and it's not even close. I would return the Ringke, but I'm past the return period. It's a flimsy POS, but that's just my opinion.
Hello. Really appreciate your reviews. I would love to know which one of those MagSafe cases is the least “hot”, when it comes to heavy use(using camera, doing video call, gaming, hot weather). Thank you
Plenty more where they came from 🤣 Fill your boots: michaelstechtalk-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/p/michael/EqNykA9stHtFlR8Bo4pMRZMB4fMAJnV7ROGixHQjgIG-hg?e=rn6lgc S24 Ultra video is coming! 👀
Thanks for your top ten list. These are always fun. I have most of the cases in your list. Here are couple of personal opinions, take them for what they’re worth ($.02)… I’m a long time user of the Caudabe Sheath, but this year’s version has had multiple issues, including the infamous MagSafe hump, overly stiff buttons, and mis-aligned port openings. In fairness, these QC issues were eventually mostly resolved (the hump and sometimes stiff Action button are still not 100%), but it’s taken many months. Not the best year for Caudabe in my opinion. I love the Pitaka Pro, it probably has the most precise construction of any case this year. The fit around the camera and port openings is super precise. It’s a shame about the back finish though; among the half dozen aramid cases I tried this year, it is by far the worst for fingerprints and smudges, otherwise it would be near perfect. And while it’s plenty protective for everyday use, the case finish mars up really easily if dropped and starts looking terrible after a few drops, which is not really acceptable for a $70 case. I’m surprised the Phone Rebel Gen 5 didn’t make your list. Like every case it has its issues (haven’t found the perfect case yet), but among this year’s selections it’s easily near the top for fit, drop protection, grip, buttons, and screen access. It’s on the heavy side, but it arguably has the best thinness-to-protection ratio of any case on the market. Keep up the good work!
Just on looks alone, the Phone Rebel gets disqualified for me. I see people mention it, but it’s an ugly beast. I do like the Pitaka, but it doesn’t beat out the Sheath for me. Then again, my Sheath doesn’t have anywhere near all the issues you listed and I’ve got three of them. Also don’t like the sharp edges on the Pitaka or the fingerprints. Much better all around hand feel for me with the Sheath.
I think there's something wrong with me because I keep buying cases but I don't actually like any of them but I don't like my phone naked all day because it becomes uncomfortable and to high of a risk dropping such a slippery phone.

Was wandering if the blue and black pitaka MagEZ 4 shows fingerprints easily?
Peak Design need to make a standard case alongside their connector case because the design is 1st class.
It’s so under rated, doesn’t get enough love.
I love your taste. The sheath is also my favorite case this year. Especially the gray with my natty. Looks impeccable 💯
Thanks for watching!
That’s exactly what I have! Love that color combination.

Oh dang!!! 🙈😆😆
Any recommendations for a tighter fitting case with a similar texture to the Caudabe sheath?
Try the Ringke Onyx? Similiar texture but not sure the fit will be any better than the Caudabe tbh.
6th no spigen case is just ❤
Nice!
I love my Garnet red sheath as well! I do wish they would make a lighter blue Sheath.
Nice!
That’s a pretty awesome list of cases
Yes sir!
They're new so it's understandable it would be missed, but Lumazi is my absolute favorite leather case for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.
I'll look into them 👀
Nice case really love the pitika mag Ez pro in the blue and of course not for the basic 15 good choices 😎
💪🏻
What is your reason for the Pitaka MagEZ Pro 4 losing out the #1 spot to Caudabe?
Couple of things..
1. The grippy texture of the Sheath is fantastic and is all over the case, maximum grip.
2. It's half the price of the Pitaka MagEZ Pro.
Your vids are great. I was literally thinking "what cases are good these days" and POOF! a Video from you!
Glad you liked it! 👍🏻
Fantastic list and video. I agree with your number one. Caudabe does not disappoint. I do admit to using the Synthesis more than I thought I would, but the Sheath is my favorite. The perfect case IMO.
Good choice!
Pitaka is the best for me. It feels like using with no case. I can't use another cases after pitaka. But you should be carefull. Pitaka will not safe ur phone if you drop it. It is too thin so it has not amortisation
Thanks for time stamps ❤❤❤
All part of the service! 💪🏻
You certainly know your cases. Thanks for a great review
Thanks for watching!
Andar is the best to me by far. Everyone seems to like Caudabe but I tried them and they did not work for me at all. Felt like a $10 case. Maybe I’m missing something.
Quality leather case! 🔥
can you make a video on latercase?
I've been looking at getting Latercase in, being in the UK makes it a little more tricky and costly but watch this space.
Hey why didn't you even mention the Otter box, I have used them for all my iPhones since 2008
I've only recently reviewed the Otterbox cases. They will be returning more on the channel for sure!
I got the Andar Aspen Solar Orange!
Nice! So jealous!!!
Is everyone sleeping on the Sheildon Leather folio case for the iPhone 15 and Pro Max? The phone has a detachable sleeve that's mag safe compatible.
If my order ever shows up from them then i could consider it.
Still waiting 6 months later...
Nice video. Really like your presentation. I agree with your picks. My daily driver is the Sheath and I absolutely love it. Very well made case. I got the Synthesis too and like it, but there's something about the Sheath that's just perfect.
Thanks for watching! #SheathSquad
S24 Ultra Case video 🎉🎉
It's coming! 👀
Ringke Onyx is as also good as “Caudabe Sheath”
The texture is similar on the Onyx for sure.
I have both. The Sheath is way better in fit and finish and it's not even close. I would return the Ringke, but I'm past the return period. It's a flimsy POS, but that's just my opinion.
Hello. Really appreciate your reviews. I would love to know which one of those MagSafe cases is the least “hot”, when it comes to heavy use(using camera, doing video call, gaming, hot weather).
Thank you
They all handle heat dissipation very well tbh.
Hi sir are you givingaway those Pitaka case please🙏
Are you giving anything away for free?
Bro that batman wallpaper 🔥🔥🔥
Where did you get that from.
Make the same video for s24 ultra.
Plenty more where they came from 🤣

The phone rebel cases aren't as easy to get here in the UK but I will continue to try and get them in.
Just on looks alone, the Phone Rebel gets disqualified for me. I see people mention it, but it’s an ugly beast.

Cannot falter
And Ryan london ,Not good ?
The Ryan London is very similair to the Andar Aspen, but the colour options for the Aspen is the reason it made the top 10.
I think there's something wrong with me because I keep buying cases but I don't actually like any of them but I don't like my phone naked all day because it becomes uncomfortable and to high of a risk dropping such a slippery phone.
Not sure what to say to this tbh.. 😂
Nomad always
Nice!
I suggest you move it less so that we can see the details of the cases and maybe some close-up. 🎉
What if i move it less and you don't see enough of the case?
Sheath is heavy
You think so?
It was all goin well till you made a joke and put pitaka at 5, had to leave the video 😂
Was good that mate, nice easy watch
🤣🤣🤣 I said what I said!!
🙏✝️🙏amen🙏✝️🙏
this vid is stupid, you spoke nothing about impact resistance
It’s a top 10 round up of cases.. check out the full reviews of the cases for that info.
