This phone case is one of the best cases I have had on my phone so far. It looks great, fits great, and is super slim, and light. I have dropped my phone a couple of times with other cases that have proposed to be impact resistant, but my phone has been broken in all of them. This was the only case that properly protected my phone from a drop, and the case had no damage to it either.

I have had an iPhone 8 Plus, an XR, and now a 12. With the first phone I tried literally every case you can imagine - from Otterbox to Smartish to Catalyst to Mous and everything in between. They all had pluses and minuses, but admittedly I am very picky when it comes to my phone cases. Once I discovered Caudabe, it was all over. When I upgraded to the XR, I immediately ordered the Synthesis and the Sheath (I like both for different reasons). Now, as I recently upgraded again, I intentionally chose to upgrade to the 12 instead of the newer iPhone 13 - just because I wanted the Synthesis again. It's literally perfect. Fits tightly around the phone, it's super slim, and it has a grip I can only describe as "solid in the hand". It's not overly aggressive but you aren't afraid you're going to drop it - and I have dry skin so this is a constant concern. Seriously - get a Caudabe case and I promise you won't regret it. The best case for any phone I have ever owned, period.

I am very pleased with this case. I bought the Stealth Black version for my iPhone 12. It is thin and attractive and I like that it has enough transparency to make-out the Apple logo through the back. Another plus is that the case eliminates any wobble from the camera bump thanks to the design of the case’s back. The tiny “feet” on the four corners of the back also lift the case slightly to help prevent scuffs and scratches on the back. The phone feels really good in my hand with the case on. While the texturing on the sides seems to help improve the grip on the phone some, it still feels slicker than I would like. Overall, it is a very nice case.

This case is by far the nicest case I’ve owned by far to date after a dozen losers. It’s remarkable how the design keeps minimal and protection in mind at the same time. Would buy again.

I was concerned that the cover would detract from the great styling of the IPhone 12 but am greatly impressed how brilliantly it matches and enhances the overall functionality.
