What’s the lens protector you have on?

It doesn't cover the lenses; just surrounds them and sits slightly proud etc

Ringke used to do them but they've stopped for some reason

Had them on my 13/14/15PM phones as well; they do a great job

Hoping that Ryan London will be coming out with a leather case with a camera control button soon.

They are brining one out, but it’s only for the closed bottom version. The leather quality on those cases aren’t as good as the open bottom.

 

[kirbysmartsdawg]

I’m hoping that RL will release a nice colour (not black or brown) open bottom case for the Plus. Not going to happen I know.

I highly doubt that because for as long as I can remember it has been saddle brown, dark brown, and black. I don’t think they venture out beyond those.

I just hope they can figure out the CC button on the open bottom and make the case thinner.

I don't see people talking about M Craftsman cases. Tbh they have an original CC design using gold, it's very responsive and the case is quite nice looking.

Thanks. Added to the WikiPost

I prefer Amazon. Free shipping and easy returns.

Definitely agree. I just meant in order to determine the true universe of their offerings. But, as always, that ended up being unnecessary given the community knowledge right here in this thread.

Noted. Very interesting to see the different approaches to e-commerce. And not everyone has Prime. But since I’m already paying an arm and a leg for the prime membership I’m gonna use the fire out of the free shipping/easy returns 🤣.

Speaking of Amazon, the Sunset Pitaka is on sale for $49. Someone talk me out of it…

Ooo, that’s a good deal. Far be it from me to talk someone out of a great case at a great price. 😉

Pitaka has some new designs that are currently only available direct. I have to wonder if they’re trying to reduce stock on their older designs in anticipation of offering the new designs on Amazon.

All I want is for Apple to release a solid leather alternative next year. It was the best case for years on end!

Amen to that my friend! For me the silicone checks all the spots because of the camera button. Slim fit, camera button, buttons on mine are super super clicky, lint isn’t an issue at all after a day or two and I love the ultramarine color. But nothing will beat the apple leather.

I rode my Apple leather case on my 13P into the friggin' ground. It outlasted the phone. Man that was a great case.

Same with my iPhone 14 Pro Apple leather case. Held on to it for as long as I could.

So if I’m understanding correctly the dimensions are the same besides the CC button?

That means Spigen doesn’t make a light frosted CC case? Only the black and graphite? Doubt either of those would look good on the Desert Titanium

I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T in clear which has a CC button, white MagSafe circle and line. I am trying to go caseless, but in the meantime, this one works, looks and feels great with my 16 Pro Desert Titanium!

Same! Idk how everyone wears their silicone case out and chips them cracks them etc. at one point I used a silicone case for at least six months. Not a single flaw in it. This years silicone is immaculate in my experience. 0 complaints and I see a ton of users going back to it.

I will say my wife destroyed her Apple silicone case back on the 13PM, but she wears scrubs everyday in an OR that are rough and she pulls it out of her pocket often. That beat the silicone up.

Gotcha! That will do it 😂! Im a suit and tie guy but do a ton of cardio and fitness. Each user experience is unique my experience especially this year has been perfect. Especially with the cc button. Idk anyone or have heard of anyone who likes the cutout

I was ready to buy one until I saw the fine print.

They ship from Hong Kong for $15, and warn it may take weeks to arrive, with 7 - 15 days typical.

Their return policy also requires the buyer to pay return shipping to Hong Kong.

This isn't going to work for me. If they ever show up on Amazon, I'll try one.

EDIT: They are on Amazon, for $25, and there is currently a $10 off coupon.

Oh if Apple had done a CC button premium case, I would have been all over it. Honestly I would have taken the FineWoven with a CC.

But yes everyone has a different use case for sure. I just couldn’t use the silicone case because the USBC cutout is too sharp and hurts my thumb.

Ya know what the FineWoven gets a ton of hate I used it for about a month and loved it. I hear ya! That cutout on the silicone is small too! Luckily all the accessories I use fit perfectly. The more I use the silicone the more premium it is for me. Just have to get over my leather case love ❤️ 😂

Haha yeah, I don’t mind the silicone other than the damn cutout. Everything else is fine with me.

I need a new case

They're on Amazon brother https://a.co/d/ggGoSvU

Oh I see you found them honestly despite being from Hong Kong, being attributed to a mass produced low quality material case, it's very well made and feels really good and has maybe the best CC button before Apple. It beats Spigen hands down in terms of sensitivity, super fingerprint resistant, excellent camera bezel and protection but is also very affordable. The Magsafe is upper middle tier, the fit and snap is consistent.

Put it this way, I'm a Master Plumber and the week I used this case I was doing underground work for a guy and the case was keeping up, even dropped it into a cast iron pipe using it as a flashlight and it just kept on trucking.

Open bottom silicone would be the move!!

Ordered the gray frosted. For $15.93 w/tax (and free shipping) I'll give it a shot. Unfortunately, that's the case with the longest lead time - not due until January 9 -14. Hopefully it will come sooner.

Yes! Miss all the open bottom Apple cases.
