Thinking whether to order the Caudabe cases direct with express shipping 😅😅

Checked with local distributor on Lazada/Shopee and they’re not expecting stocks to arrive in another 1-2 weeks. 🥲

I gave up Spigen glass, attract dust like no tomorrow and micro scratches very easily in no time. This one seems to be not full coverage, no black borders one.
That’s why if want to get normal glass, get any brand since it’s mostly the same.

I rather spend 1 time to get a good one (sapphire glass) and use it all the way till next year and change phone instead of changing many times for normal glass. So far mine is still scratch less.

Not really I use smart devil Corning glass, cheap and good. Never go back to Spigen already using this.

I used caudabe sheath for my iPhone 15 PM. Dunno why the lips especially at the corners seems to expand/ become loose. Can see the gold color of the phone frame. The corner will comes off the phone when push it slightly.

It was tight fit when I first used it. Not sure is it our weather. Anyone encounter the same? Now I reluctant to buy caudabe again and if drop now, the phone sure pop out from the case one.

Has anyone used before those cheap Shopee tempered glass? Planning to buy for my mum. I personally have not used any screen protection for quite many years.
I bought those expensive ones like Spigen, so far they are hard and don't break that easily, I used to get those cheap tempered glass, but they break easily especially if the phone is kept inside a handbag with many hard objects

I think it’s normal wear and tear for the sheath as heat from the iPhone will cause the silicone materials to expand and contract and eventually loosen over time.

Maybe the Synthesis will be more resilient. 😃

Not really leh, mine the sides glue came off, and the back plate can fall off easily. I used it for slightly more than a year before this happens. I love the strong MagSafe magnet, have used Spigen before, and theirs are not as strong

I read comments from another forum from overseas users that after a year or two of using it, the condition still looks like new with no loose lips etc. It certainly is not for my case. That’s why I wonder is it our climate.

Been using Caudabe for the past couple of iPhone generations , but will wait for them to come out with a camera button covered case.

Already got the Apple silicone case to use in the meantime.

Used Spigen during X series then turned to Apple Leather, never looked back. Survived lots of drops without screen protection. Too bad now no more (they removed finewoven), might looked into Silicone series soon.

Yes this is the one I get also! Actually now I think back, I have been using Spigen glass for majority of my iPhones. Quite happy with them.
For me is Skinarma and screen protector is Okonz, I had been buying them. Not bad too and in fact, I bought iPhone 16 pro accessories from them and it delivered the next day so now I had my case and screen protector but no phone

It’s like that with Apple silicone case as well. but occurs must faster. For my 15 pro I’ve put on the Apple silicone case from release day. Dropped it at the beginning of Sep 2024, loose corner at bottom left popped off and phone dinged. Replaced with the exact same Apple silicone case, felt tighter at first when it was just put on, now three weeks later can see all the Titanium edges around the case lip circumference again.
