A worthy battle! Gripzilla's waiting for a challenger ⚔️
Ayyeeee!! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
It’s like you heard him because my gripmunk is super tight all around
Love that gripmunk for my 13 mini guys ! Best case ever .1 word : Perfection !
I went with the Smartish case because you can get custom art on the back. Also the customer service is insane with Smartish, they’ll basically send you a new case if your case gets damaged in any way
This side-by-side, point-by-point comparison is FANTASTIC! Keep this format up please! Battling case matchups one-by-one! Love it!
Thanks much appreciated! Glad I’m getting good feedback from this format.
First time doing this type of vs videos so bare with me! I have to find a template to these type of videos to flow more smoothly. Let me know if you like this and want to see other top cases compared against each other!
Love this type of video!! I think this really help your viewers as this kind of comparison can be a deal maker for a purchasing decision!
Glad the champ stays champ!
Yup I like this type of video.
I got myself a caudabe sheath for my pro max because of your videos. Never heard of them before until I watched your video. And no regrets having it on my 13 pro max. Great texture, slim minimalist protection and look, and great magnetic strength. 10/10 easy.
Same. After a lot of research, just got the Sheath on the strength of Tee’s videos. Could not be happier with it. Thought I’d use until I got the Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro for the iPhone 13 if/when it ever drops, but not feeling like I’m missing out at all with the Sheath. Impulse to buy the Pitaka is tamped down (for now, anyway.) Thanks for the reviews!)
That was a great video bro. Especially being your first 🆚 . Keep ‘em comin! 💪🏼
Thanks bro much appreciated and thank you for reminding me to spark a whole different video type for the channel. Could be something big.
I have the sheath for my current phone (13 mini) and I had the gripmunk for two of my previous phones (10 and 11). I think they are extremely similar and would generally give the benefit to the cheaper case. I like the magnetic strength, texture, and fit of the sheath, and the color/design options and finger waves of the gripmunk.
I think they are both great options and you can’t really go wrong.
I really enjoyed this content you put out for us! Keep it up. Glad i found this channel
Love this vs. style of video, keep it up Tee I’m a fan. I’ll be rocking the sheath until the Rebel series launches.
Thanks much appreciated and glad you like this format! Def have some polishing up to do but it will come together shortly.
I just bought the Caudabe Sheath yesterday and happy with it!
Dope! It’s such a great case.
Great side by side review. I would love to watch more, especially if you listened to obscure comparison requests from the UA-cam comments. They don’t have to be more than 5 minutes long, but I bet you would make a lot of viewers happy since you’re the only one comparing those specific cases to each other. Keep it up ✌🏼
Great video! Love the comparisons.
Thanks much appreciated!! 💪🏽💪🏽
Been waiting for this!
Thanks! How did you like it? Def have some polishing up to do with this format.
LOVE the Sheath. Easily my favorite case. Great video my man.
Thanks much appreciated and yeah I’m going to have some contenders vs this Sheath. Someone is going to have to knock it off the top!!
Great reviews! Keep them coming.
Thanks man much appreciated! 💪🏽💪🏽
My dude, you my new go to guy for cases.
Love this format
Im rocking the Blue Pitaka MagEz for my 13 Pro Max until the Rebel comes out.
I have a Caudabe Sheath on my iphone 13 pro max and i love it! the texture is just amazing
Liked the vs video. Would like to see more of these videos
These videos are getting better
Thanks much appreciated! What’s making it get better if I may ask?
im getting my sheath later cause of ur review! Thanks to u cause ur vid is really helpful on choosing not only a stylish and minimalist case, but also one with a good grip (though i am yet to confirm it once case is with me later hehe). KEEP IT UP!
I like the sheath but compared to some of my other cases the magnets do not seem as strong and feels slightly heavier. But for the price and features you can’t go wrong!
Yeah for sure and yeah there are some magnets that are stronger for sure but for an all around case it’s one of the best for sure.
The caudabe is by far the best case I’ve ever found for the iPhone. Simply perfect! You seem like a case guru and your recommendations are always on point. I bought the case because of your videos. Case Guru!
Great video. I like comparison videos, so please do more. Blessings on your day.
Thanks Jeff I appreciate it! 💪🏽💪🏽
This video was cool and yeah I want to see more!
Been rocking the gripmunk and loving it
Becsuse of you is why I gave Caudabe one more chance. I got the sheath for my IPhone 11 pro max back in the day. I felt the buttons were super stiff and hard to push in. Every thing else was great... Just didn't like the buttons. Watching this vs got me curious to try them again... And now I will say the Caudabe Sheath case is the best all around iPhone case.
Grip 👍
Fits snug 👍
Not overly bulky 👍
Clicky pushable buttons 👍
Magsafe 👍
Precise cutouts 👍
Eaily accessible mute button 👍
Very fast shipping 👍
If you are on the fence about this case... Well jump over it. This case is prefect... My only wish is it had more colors. But that's just me being nitpicking... The colors available all look great. 👍👍👍
Will go with the caudabe sheath!!
Good comparison video! Good to see your no 1 top case still belong to Caudabe Sheath.
Yeah but it has some strong competition that we will get into with videos to come.
I think giving each case a rating, 1-5 as an example, on each of the main categories. Then add then up to see who wins
Overall look
Buttons
Magsafe
Lip protection
Yep that’s written down for sure. Def want to make this a thing If people enjoy these type of videos.
Can’t wait for the sheath to arrive. I already had the gripmunk. I don’t like the back feel. What’s so amazing about the sheath is not just the sides, but the ENTIRE case is covered in the grippy texture.
Thanks to you, I took a chance on Caudaube, and it’s the best case I ever had!
That's what I like to hear!! Glad I could help you out!!
I am a self proclaimed case connoisseur… I enjoy a good case video. Dope detailed case review/comparison as always
Niceeeeeee dope and glad you’re enjoying this format!
we need more T! Love these.
Thanks my dude! 💪🏽💪🏽
I enjoy the long length. As long as the full video with no cuts, I’m fine with it lol
Hey brother what is the side/edge texture like on the Gripmunk compared to the Sheath? Is it the same rough sandpaper type of feel?
I might be in the minority but I don’t really like the feel. I may return it
Nice video and good format. Keep it up! I'm waiting for my Caudabe Sheath coming from the US to Germany because of your recommendation in the last videos #nopressure 😜
One thing i realised myself and is maybe also a big thing for your videos, when it comes to the MagSafe test... maybe the thing holding the MagSafe Charger interferes with the camera bump on some cases! When this is the case, many cases don't have the chance to perform good. I'm still on search for the perfect case around and noticed this problem with all cases. Thanks to the bigger camera on the 13 Pro (and i tested a 13 mini as well), no case fits perfekt on my "Spigen OneTap Stand" and the "Spigen Mag Fit Duo" .... even the "Moft Magnetic Wallet" interferes with the camera bump. Would be nice to hear, if it is a problem for you aswell, so that others an I can be confident with your test results. Thanks and nice work man!
More case versus! Apple vs Apple cases (colors), nomad leather vs Apple leather, clear case vs clear case, ect. I think you would have fun doing it
Thanks for the suggestion and im def going to do the nomad leather vs Apple leather case. Glad you enjoyed the video! Wasn’t sure if folks were going to like it.
Good video bro like the cases
That was a nice battle but that price difference may be the deciding factor for many.
Yeah for sure but that’s also a case that I don’t mind spending the money for because it’s that good.
I’m really feeling the sheath JAWN. Plus it’s thinner I like thin cases.
Yeah man it’s solid trust me, give it a try.
I bought both with the intention to return whichever one I liked less. The Caudabe is by far the winner for me. The smooth back on the Gripmunk really defeats the purpose for me. I like using my phone one-handed, and a smooth back means if you adjust your grip away from those finger grooves around the sides, you suddenly have a slick case with no grip. The texture of the Caudabe is far more pleasant to hold than the texture on the sides of the Gripmunk, and without sacrificing any grip. The Gripmunk’s textured sides feel gritty like sandpaper, so it’s not really nice to hold. Caudabe’s buttons are much more clicky. I also prefer the minimal branding on the Caudabe vs the slightly larger Smartish logo. Granted, I bought an Amazon warehouse Smartish Gripmunk that was listed as new, but with damaged packaging, and that brought the price down to less than $6, so since it was so inexpensive it’s not even really worth returning, I’ll probably just keep it around as a backup. One thing I will say is I like the look of the Smartish case a little more. I like the shape of the camera bump cutout, as well as the high-gloss framing on the Smartish. But all the pros for the Caudabe mean it’s my new daily case.
Nice! do you feel the caudabe is a bit heavy? it's 50 grams which means not a light case at all.
@@Ykodi01234 Honestly, these are my first minimal cases. I’m coming from years as an otter box defender user. I know for a fact that the defender is heavier, but because the otter box is so much wider, that weight is spread out over more surface area and it doesn’t FEEL as heavy. Since the caudabe is so slim, there isn’t a lot of surface area for that weight to be distributed, so it feels a bit heavy, yeah.
@@trevorjameswomack yes I know that theory, and you're right. Sometimes heavier cases can feel lighter because it spread over big volume.
@@Ykodi01234 I have to be dead honest with you now, I have gone back to my roots and I use an Otterbox Defender for daily use. The Caudabe Sheath is less slippery than hard plastic, but it’s just not as grippy as I’d like in a phone case. I still have the Sheath for special occasions like if I need to wear a suit for a wedding, it will be easier to conceal a slimmer case than my the otterbox, but honestly, I just feel more secure holding it in the otterbox because of the rubber texture. Also, otterbox has come a LONG way from the bulkiness of just 5 years ago. Their newer cases are more sleek.
@@trevorjameswomack I know it'll sound strange, but the most girppiest case I used, and I used a lot of them, is apple silicone case. It sticks to your hands like a glue. I never dropped my phone with this case.
Mostly the slits make the buttons super clicky. But the no slits on the gripmunk the buttons are still super clicky and like you said I hated the slits because dust and debris gets inside.
Same here, I hate cases with slits by the buttons. Having a black phone makes me have to put in extra work to keep it free of dust, otherwise it ends up looking like a lint trap 😂
Smarting also have custom designs at the end when you where looking at the colors you don’t mentioned
Great review. The air-slits were a deal breaker for me. Gonna get the sheath
Sheath also has air slits for the buttons.
Grip Monk doesn't have air slits - the Sheath does.
The grip monk is also nice 👍🏼 as well
O yeah it’s solid for sure.
Please review the gripmunk for the 14 pro max!
Is the Sheath thinner than the Liquid Air and Rugged Armor?
The first time I heard of smartish case was from a customer at my job and boy that case was nice
Yeah they have some dope cases for sure.
@@TechnicallyTee Surprisingly he was using a 7 plus
Great comparison. That photo of your kid is cool as a screensaver
I had a Caudabe Sheath for my 11 Pro Max, and I'm now waiting for one for my 13 pro max to be delivered. so YAY for the Caudabe Sheath winning :P can I ask if you know of a case for the ipads that has the same/similar texture for an ipad?
Good review as always !
Could you review tech 21 cases for the the 13 pro please. They seem to have a good lineup especially the evo check.
Yeah I was supposed to be sent some but I’m not sure what happened.
@@TechnicallyTee cool! Can’t wait for your review. I have seen quite a few reviews lately and I regard your reviews as impartial and unbiased.
Hey Tee I just bought a Gripmunk case for my IPhone SE 2020 off Amazon on prime deals so I got it for 14.99$ and when I get it it’s gonna be on my phone all day everyday and also great video I watch ur videos every time a new one comes out love the content keep it going
Sheath is better of the 2. Smartish feels cheaper. Smartish has a better feel in hand. Sheath is slippier but the fit of the case itself and size is better and why I kept the sheath. I might sand the case down a little with some sandpaper to a make it more grippy.
Just can't go wrong with that price. Hard to find really good phone cases under that $25 mark
Yeah you’re right and you would think the Smartish cases would be more.
do you know which one is heavier?
I just receive my Caudabe Sheath after a long wait .Already got the smartish gripmunk , Caudable are nice ,stylish , BUT i prefer the gripmunk , the magsafe is made of soft fabric vs plastic for Sheath , Sheath dont even have the corners protections inside as the gripmunk and buttons are open and let enter the dust... For 2 time the price : / .Im gonna keep the Sheath for backup and order another gripmunk on top :)
Hey the Gripmunk is solid for the price. Can’t deny that.
How does the sheath hold up to fall protection
You made me buy the Caudabe sheath man.
Also I’m watching this 7 months after you posted it and caudabe still hasn’t come out with the ultraviolet color for the sheath
You ever gonna review the magbak? Would love your thoughts on it before I order it 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Let me check it out because I’ve never heard of it.
Try Nudient case V3 for 13 pro I have one it has MagSafe felt lining & very slim - best case I’ve had so far
I’m looking on the site right now and I’m trying to find the MagSafe version because they do really look like some solid cases.
For me it’s between the Sheath and DBrand grip. I switch between the two.
That’s the next vs and I think thats going to be a tough one.
@@TechnicallyTee yup lol. I swap often because I like them both so much!
I love the Sheth thanks to ur video.
Gripmunk really won for the price. I have one blues on the green color for the 13 pro max. And it is super tight all around for this model. I also have the gripzilla. Waiting on that battle. Great video
I cant decide between the gripmunk and gripzilla. Which one of the two do you like better?
Good Job. Thoughts about sheath vs limitless from Mous
Yep that’s going to be another video because that’s going to be a tough one.
The caseology vault has the same textured sides but I returned it and got the sheath cause it had no magsafe
Yeah if you use MagSafe like I do then it’s a requirement for sure.
More like $19 vs $36 and Next day delivery 📦 vs 1 week delivery. I’m the $19 case when for me
Haha all those things you have to factor in for sure.
I have a Sheath and my problem with it is feels just a bit too heavy when loaded. Do you mind providing us with the weight of each case in grams?
Yeah I might actually do that as well. Order me a little scale off Amazon. Thanks for the suggestion!
love the Sheath on my iPhone Max 13, like the texture on the back when holding. I have tried a few and keep coming back to it. Thanks for letting me know about this case as had not heard of them! Excellent case, have black and just got Navy as well! love it
What screen protector do u have on?
I think the fit is better on the gripmunk in my opinion
Sheath is still the beast!👍🏽
Man it’s so good!
You should make a video of the strongest magnets of magsafe cases. I have a feeling Pitaka would win this one but I'd love to know who else makes the strongest magnets in a case.
Man Pitaka might run away with this one because those magnets are serious lol.
@@TechnicallyTee Agreed, waiting in their pro case to come back in stock for the 13 pro max.
Can you review the Spigen tough armor mag for the 13 pro because I just ordered it and wanna know how good the magnets are
And what do you think is the best case for protection grip and magnets for under like 25-30
What charger do u used i need that one
The only thing that makes the smartish gripmunk (nothin to hide clear case) a fail is the buttons are so stiff! I couldn’t use it based on having to press so hard and it ruined the case experience.
Experiencing this as we speak
What magnet do you think is better, Sheath or Pitaka mag pro?
Hmmmmm they are really close but I might have to give the edge to the Pitaka.
Gripmonk for me. Grip is everything
Is caudabe coming out with a clear case? Not a big fan of them but I feel like they’d nail it
They have one now!
$15 for the Smartish non mag safe vs $35 for the Caudabe- enough said. Caudabe is overpriced- just like dBrand is.
Btw, the Smartish Gripzilla is the best overall case for the $.
Hmmmmm nah I wouldn’t call either overpriced imo. The details but into these cases easily justify the cost imo.
Was planning to buy this case but Tee i just want to ask if the corners of the caudabe are shaking? I had one for my 12 pro max and I don’t know if it was just defective
I personally have never had that issue. And I have a few models of the case.
@@TechnicallyTee thanks for this might have gotten a defective one. Also if I can suggest maybe try the elago cases for the 13 pro they loook minimalist and i feel like their pebble case looks a bot like the sheath.
Does caudabe pay you? How does that work?
So is the sheath not grippy ? I’m thinking of buying one for the 14 pro max?
It is gripy in my opinion. The look and overall feeling is amazingly well built. Feels high quality. The line design on the top is super sheik!
Also why did you downgrade from 13 pro max to 13 pro? Great video by the way love this side by side format really helps. I am about to buy the 13 pro or 13 pro max and I am gonna go for a caudabe sheath. Thanks!
He said he was having that "big phone" feeling with the pro max. He said he has iPads and others for big screen stuff. I'm the same way.
@@teleguy5699 same. 13 mini for personal. 13 pro for business,. I also have both 11 & 12.9 iPad. My assistant uses my 11inch iPad
@@MADBROW I'm feeling ya. 13 mini is great for needed stuff on the road, Carplay, Apple Pay etc., but at home I use my iPad mini for pics, texts, videos etc. The mini is great for sticking in your pocket.
How do you think these cases compare to the Gripzilla?
Gripzilla is a little thicker for sure but it’s compares pretty good. I think I have something to compare it to.
@@TechnicallyTee Would be curious to see a comparison between the gripzilla and other more protective cases!
Which is more like protective
I think the Gripmunk has more protection but they are both really close.
Yeah smart is his 10x better solely because of the price. As you stated these two in terms of quality are so similar so why spend three times the amount with cudabe
You know drop protection is paramount.
To me that's the deciding factor
Both of these can handle regular drops just fine. If you need something outside of that then you need something more rugged.
What’s that Apple band you have ?
This one is the UAG Civilan band. Going to do a video on it soon but dope band for sure.
Caudabe Sheath all the way!
420 th thumb up 😎
And thanks for the review!
Thanks much appreciated!
Cadabe will be $40 cuz they charge $5 for shipping if your only getting the case.
Spigen for me is top notch
Spigen makes some solid options without a doubt.
This video also seems to be a tie.
I still think the sheath is the king 👑😆
Sheath is a beast. It’s going up against the dBrand grip up next.
Love your reviews, add the magsafe apple wallet test please!!
sorry if its off topic but, rhinoshield mod nx or solidsuit?
SolidSuit all day.
Sheath all the way no question.
💪🏽💪🏽
Caudabe Sheath has NO GRIP at all. Don't say I didn't warn you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ummmm it is not slippery at all. I’ll show you a slippery case. It’s has good enough grip and sure there are some cases that have better grip.
The Amazon reviews are harsh on the Gripmunk.
Really? It’s not that bad of a case.
@@TechnicallyTee I only see a few reviews. Guessing it’s pretty new but yea they say it’s loose. Gets dirt inside etc. it still looks worth trying. You can’t always trust those Amazon reviews.
