Signature pebbled texture
Don't just take our word for it.
2 years and still protecting
"Love this phone case! I've dropped it multiple times even during my hikes — I dropped it on rugged rocks and left no scratch on my phone. Very happy with this product!"

Case outlasted my phone
"This is an incredible case that outlasted the phone I bought it for. 3 years old and looks brand new despite dropping my phone many many times. I don't need to use a screen protector because this works so well. "

The gold standard of Minimalist Protection
“... The signature micro-textured finish feels incredible in the hand, providing a sand-like grip that completely eliminates fingerprints and prevents accidental slips. It’s a rare case that managed to look rugged and sophisticated at the same time, perfectly complementing a high-end tech setup.”

Favorite case of all time
"Case felt great to me straight out of the box. Grippy texture without sticking to the inside of my pocket. Absolutely love it. Cases have always been the most difficult thing for me to settle on, but this is a hands down all time favorite. Checks every single box."

The best!
“I've been getting iPhones since the original in 2007, this is the best phone case I've ever had, quality-exceptional, case fit-exceptional, case feel-exceptional, I can't find one con, all pros... kudos Caudabe, you guys are the kings of phone cases.”

Awesome case!
"The magnetic feature works very well! I have a MagSafe charger and this attaches to it very easily. Would recommend Sheath!"

Perfect case with strong magsafe support
“I wasn't sure if there was a magnet underneath to prevent rotation. Turns out it does have a magnet beneath the MagSafe ring, and it holds everything in place really well. The magnet is really strong.”

Still have questions? Our FAQs can help.
Yes. iPhone 18 series and iPhone 17 series cases are cross-compatible, but there are minor differences in fit between the two generations.
Because the iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 series differ slightly in dimensions, a case designed for one generation may not fit the other quite as precisely. For example, the camera plateau on the iPhone 18 series is a fraction of a millimeter taller than on the iPhone 17 series. Our iPhone 18 cases are designed around that change, while our iPhone 17 cases are not. The differences are minor, but depending on the case and model, you may notice a slight variation in fit.
In addition, swappable buttons should not be mixed between generations. Because the buttons and cases are manufactured to very tight tolerances, buttons designed for iPhone 17 series cases may not operate properly in iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max cases, and vice versa. When purchasing additional buttons, please choose the version made for your specific case generation.

Sheath’s signature pebbled texture feels secure in your hand without being sticky or overly coarse. The fine, tactile finish adds just enough grip while remaining comfortable to hold. Refined over years of design iterations and customer feedback, it delivers a premium feel you notice immediately and remains remarkably resilient over time.
Sheath delivers outstanding drop protection without unnecessary bulk. Sculpted from a single piece of ShockLite™, our proprietary impact-absorbing polymer, it’s drop tested to 4.6 m / 15 ft, with geometric grooves along the interior perimeter to further dissipate impact. Precisely raised screen and camera lips add protection where it matters, while a soft microfiber lining cushions the back of your phone.
All three offer excellent protection, but each has a distinct feel and design.
Sheath pairs our signature pebbled texture with a slim, minimalist profile for a balanced combination of grip, comfort, and protection.
Synthesis has a more structured feel, with a rigid back shell and distinctive dot matrix pattern along the perimeter for added grip.
Paragon offers a more refined in-hand feel, with a matte finish, sculpted perimeter, and our Adaptive Edge screen lip, which rises at the top and bottom for protection while sitting nearly flush along the middle of the display for effortless swiping.
I have been using Caudabe cases for several years, and the Sheath for the iPhone 18 Pro Max is an excellent case. It has a textured finish, a snug fit, good grip and offers great protection. I highly recommend it.
One of the best cases I have used from my previous IPhones. Fits perfectly on the 10 pro.
Almandine Sheath open with celestial blue buttons for my iPhone 17 Pro - perfect fit, perfect feel. Love the "runway" on the front lip to make swiping up easy, and the texture is really nice - grippy but still easily slides in and out of your pocket.
This is my first time purchasing a Caudabe case, and I’m so glad I did. I bought the open cutout for my iPhone18 pro max. Love the texture, love the way it feels in the hand, love that it’s not a fingerprint magnet, and I love the slim design. The price point is also great for the quality you get. I’d love more color options!
Very picky about cases and have gone through too many to count over the years. Even the ones I really like a lot usually have at least one thing that bugs me. Caudabe cases check every box for me, every time! This is my third one and it's even better than the last now that they're supporting the camera button as well. Just a stellar case inside and out! Bonus that the "Brick" buttons match the new Iphone 18 "Burgundy" color pretty well. It is an expensive case but you get what you pay for :-)
The case arrived today; now I have to wait three days for the phone! Everything about this case feels right. The soft inner creates an outstanding layer for the back of the phone. The exterior texture is just what you want to feel in your hand to give you confidence in holding your phone. I've been admiring my son's Caudabe cases and finally listened to him.
The case is worth it. I am very happy with my case. This case has texture!!! The texture actually works!!! The best part that it is not bulky, it is not heavy. It is great and I am so glad i ordered it. I have ordered phone cases in the past that i regret after because they are always bulky and heavy. A phone case i could finally appreciate.
After owning the midnight sheet for almost a year on my 17PM, I decided to get the celestial blue sheath. The color when combined with Azurite case buttons I got from my Azurite Paragon, created a visually pleasing and naturally great-feeling, highly durable case. Endgame case.
Okay, yes, this is the first time I have ever had a phone case. I never liked the idea of having a case. I kept my iPhone 12 pro max for a long time but then it finally happened. I dropped it. Mind you it already had a crack but this drop ended the phone. I got the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and with two small kids, I knew I had to get a good case. After researching and YouTube videos. I picked this case and I pumped. Right after putting the case on I went to wash my two cars. My hands were super smooth from water and car shampoo. I reached into my pocket and the texture on the case was so grippy. My phone felt safe in my hand. I did go with the colored buttons in ember. I decided to just switch out the volume buttons for a pop of color. It does make the phone a little more bulky and heavy but that's relative. I highly recommend this case with a screen protect.
Upgraded phone from 15 plus tom17 pro max this month. Typically like the Apple silicone cases, but ordered the Apple weave case. When I picked up the phone from the Apple Store, the case was fine but didn’t feel protective. Researched cases and found great reviews on Caudabe, a company I had not heard of before. Very happy with the eucalyptus case with the blue phone.
I love this case. Great quality! I have tried a few cases from other brands before this. Honestly, none of them matched the overall quality, in-hand feel and grip of Sheath. I would love to see more colours of sheath (open) especially yellow, beige and blue.
I tried other covers for my iPhone 17 Pro, even the original Apple ones. I can say that the Caudabe Sheath Precise cover (celestial blue color) I bought is definitely the best.
I just received this case. I love the quality of the case the color and the grippyness. I would love it if you made the case in the new ultraviolet color.
I’m kind of rough on phones due to my nature of work and this is my first case that isn’t usually bulky protective “industry standard”. It looks great and holds up well not showing scuffs and cleaning up well given the texture of the case!
One of the most beautiful cases I've own. I love the look with the ember buttons.
This is my second Caudabe case only because I upgraded to the 17 Pro Max.
It’s robust, stylish and simplistic! Fits perfectly.
I am not a review person but this one deserves it.
Customer service is great as well.
I am greatly enjoying my new Caudabe phone cover. The eucalyptus color is great, the feel of the phone is sleek and it’s extremely durable.
The sheath case is not only beautiful, but it feels good in my hand. The texture of the case itself doesn’t hinder any of my MagSafe accessories either.
This case is hands down the best ever! I’m glad I chose this one when looking for a case for the iPhone 17pro max in orange. This canyon color is fantastic with the orange and it feels SO protected and not bulky! I’ve always gone with otterbox for the protection, but never again, will I have a giant bulky case. This sheath case is pure perfection and my phone feels so great in my hands. I’m in love for sure! And don’t even get me started on the packaging! It was a joy to unbox!! Caudabe knows what time it is for sure!
I ordered the Sheath in gray and the quality exceeded my expectations in every way. Sometimes, paying more for a premium case is absolutely worth the price. It protects and secures my smartphone. What else could you ask for?
