Just got a Caudabe Sheath after using an Apple Silicone case since launch and wondering if you get used to the cutout on the side. I posted earlier, but I have no problems using the cutout on the Sheath. It works well for me.

Understanding the Context

I’m past all the cutout drama. But, what I’m surprised about is that I’m 50-50 on Sheath or Paragon. To Caudabe. My go to every year is a Sheath.

Key Insights

It’s been great. No QC issues here after almost a year of use. If anything they just keep getting better. I got a Synthesis too but still like the Sheath the best. Caudabe may claim their cutout works with the control, but we have been warned that many cutouts won't effectively work.

Final Thoughts

One advantage of ordering the Paragon is that I have to wait longer than those of you who ordered the other two models and will be able to read your reviews on whether the cutout works, giving me ample time to cancel and get ... Wrote Caudabe support hoping to get some good news that PARAGON would be shipping at the end of September. Received this reply within a day of my inquiry: Thank you so much for the email! As noted on the product page when placing the order, Paragon is a pre-order item. We expect it to be in stock and ready to ship by early October. To Caudabe or not to Caudabe!

| Page 4 | MacRumors Forums Just a heads up regarding the camera control cutout on Caudabe cases. I was just informed by their customer support that they have no plans to update their iPhone 16 cases with a capacitive cover. I guess I'll have to pass this year and see what they have to offer next year for the iPhone 17. To Caudabe or not to Caudabe!
