looks pretty neat actually! how do the volume/power buttons feel and the general material of the case?
I prefer that to the thin MagSafe thing
Caudabe, really holding it out trying to dump all that dead inventory 
I'm going to just let you know now that the thing is slippery yes. But I'll take it for that blue color and the fact that the buttons are nice and clicky.
The way I explained the case to a friend is that it's basically the Apple clear case except not clear obvs and the buttons are way better.
I wonder which company will be the first to develop a button that equals Apple’s? Spigen and Otterbox are close, but the others seem only so-so. Caudabe had such a tough time with the MagSafe bump and their slit buttons last year I have to wonder if they have the technical chops to pull off a perfect CC button.Caudabe, really holding it out trying to dump all that dead inventory
I don't notice any difference between Apple & Spigen?
Apple’s seems to require slightly less force to click, and swipes seem to start up with a slightly lighter touch. It’s a subtle difference for sure, assuming placebo isn’t at play, which it could be. Either way, both the Spigen and Otterbox are very good in my opinion.
Most obvious to me is the Apple swipes more smoothly. There's a little bit of "herky-jerky" on the Spigen (but just a little).
But I may soon be going back to the Ultra Hybrid T from the Apple Silicone because a) I don't like the feel of silicone and b) surprisingly, the Spigen has a noticeably stronger Magsafe magnet than the Apple case.
Yep same thing happened when I got mine. I mentioned that in my video that I shot for it.
I don't see it yet, last one he has up is the Bullstrap one.
I like that Twilight Blue colour but I’m not keen on the open bottom design of the Beats cases. 🤔
I have the clear version with the white MagSafe ring and I really like it. It’s the only case I currently own and I’ve been using it since I got my 16 Pro Max at launch. Some say it has no grip but I think it has plenty of grip. 😃👍The Ultra Hybrid T smoke black looks incredible against the white titanium phone. Think I’ve read this case has no grip? For me it’s amazing with the tpu grippy sides. MagSafe is top shelf. I can see this turning into my most used case. Looks so good.
Looks really good! Looks similar to the Apple silicone in ultramarine actually but glossy.
I got the white “something” skin for my 16 pro thinking it would look cool with a clear case, because the black titanium shows every piece of lint/dust in a clear case. I waited like 10-13 days for it to arrive and when I paired it with a clear case, it looked like a white piece of printer paper with a design on it. Not what I expected for a 25-30 dollar sticker. Granted I got it on Black Friday sale, I am definitely regretting that purchase lol.
Any good recommendations for a camo case, besides the Ringke Rugged? I like that one but looking for other suggestions.
On a couple of side notes, that Benks VitaPro does NOT hold up to any abuse. I dropped it one time and the black “leather” peeled off of the underside material, like skin from a sunburn, exposing some white fuzzy material underneath.
This Magbak Elite case has been on my phone wayyyy more than expected. Feels so dang comfy and grippy. Great functionality, I stick my phone to electrical panels while working or anything else metal and it sticks like glue. The little “pinky pillow” feels great instead of a jagged cut out, and I use the kick stand while on break to watch YouTube. Lastly, the front lip seems to tuck over the Mothca screen protector I am using without pushing it up and covering the edges of screen protectors where normally you would see dust and lint collecting. Overall a very nice case, one of, if not my most used so far this year.

Native Union is updating their camera cutout. They are sending me a replacement after a review I wrote. The label was made for it last week and have no idea when it will actually ship but Ill share photos when I get it.
i like the magbak elite too. just wish it had a cc button instead of a cutout.
Yeah would be a nice touch but to be honest it’s SO shallow and easy to access that I don’t even think about the fact that it doesn’t have a button. But that would definitely be a great addition to the case.
Has anyone got the UAG essential armor case for the 16 Pro?
If so, what are your views on it please?
TIA
