Never had a iPhone 12 lol, had a 12 max and no sheath, you have some issues.

When your username was Robosan, you had a black iPhone 12 and changed it after a few months to a 12 Pro Max. All your uploaded pictures are taken in the same locations too buddy, same as your other usernames, Robster3 and sonstar ;)

Is it normal for the synthesis to be really difficult to take off the phone? I’m convinced I’ve bent my phone in the process of taking it off, it was so tight. Are there any tips for taking tight cases off iPhones?

Yea the Synthesis is pretty hard to take off.

Let’s see some pics of your bent iPhone.

Yes, absolutely.
My synthesis is hard but do able, not a case you want to remove on daily bassis. Thinking of buying a sheat. in the past I had a decoded leather case ( 13 pro max). That’s case was very hard re remove. Leading to some damage to the leather of this case made by my nail. This because it was so hard to remove/ get a good grip to get I off.

Oh 100%. It feels like you need a crowbar to get the Synthesis off the phone, meanwhile with the Sheath you just apply slight pressure to the camera area and push the phone out.
Yeah, the Synthesis is harder to get off than the Sheath I agree. But I wouldn’t say I need a crowbar to get it off. switch between the two regularly so maybe I’m just used to it now.

Interesting flip around considering you seem to seek me out each time you rejoin. It’s easy to spot without wasting any time, I can assure you. Anyway, not going to ruin this thread and happy I’ve given an honest opinion on Caudabe.

I have a 14 pro sheath black with box if anyone in Australia wants it, for postage only.

My issue with the symmetry is that it pops off the phone way too easily. I tried two different ones, and they both do the same thing. Corners will pop off when I take the phone out of my pocket.
Mine (green) had the same issue. Maybe because it was an early version, idk.

I appreciate that, as after reading so many others, I was starting to think it was just me
Never had this experience with otterbox, in the past had some similar problems with a speck or other brand case.
last years 14 pm case was just fine. Normally is love the good old symmetry. This years I pass.
on first glance the colors looked nice, but in real life it was not what I hoped it to be.
colowise I really like the Rhinoshield colors from the solid suit series.

It’s not just Otterbox. I bought the Symmetry and a UAG case. Can’t remember the name, they all look the same to me. But both the UAG and Symmetry came off so easily.
