iPhone 16/e/Plus/Pro/Pro Max cases

Süti

Maker of the original PhoneBack, the iPhone case for those that prefer to use their phones without a case. PhoneBack is the most minimalist iPhone case available giving you that no-case feeling in your hand. PhoneBack works with Apple MagSafe and is available for iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and iPhone...

suti.co

I’ll second that. Unlike the Nomad one, the Suti does not use sticky tape so it can be removed without worrying about wearing out the tape.

All the leather except a couple of cheap. But if you have anything other than black, you could see that Nomad doesn’t patina like the Apple cases did. You can call them cheap if you like, but Nomad is not high quality leather either.

We have had brown folios for 5 plus years, they go a real patina, not just grime /dirt like apples leather patina used too.
Apple stopping making leather cases was nothing to do with being eco,

here’s my dbrand grip. i’ve never had a black skin. shows fingerprints easily. eventually will switch it up unless magbak releases a cc button case.

Me personally I can’t stand cases with the imitation leather idc how close they come to the real thing. I’d prefer a case with parents than the fake stuff.

Nomad olde dublin for the iPhone 16 PM.

Much darker than I thought and definitely darker than the box art.

Also seen some posts about it discoloring. Hope mine doesn’t do that.

Mate, you should give the traditional a go, all horween leather, moulds to the phone and correct cutouts, also same size as Apple silicone. Not taller.

Only black or rustic brown though.

Certainly false marketing with regards to the color. Do they not have opticians where Nomad is based?

If they sold the olde dublin in traditional, that would’ve been my choice

The white CC button on the Apple clear case is a perfect match with the MagSafe Battery. 👌🏻

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid T also has a white CC button cover. The case is just as good as the official Apple one if not better and it’s much cheaper.

 

[Mr.C]

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

That’s not going to happen. Apple has clearly decided to discontinue any leather accessories for synthetic materials.

It looks like you already have some discoloration in the middle.

Here is the reply that I got this morning from Banks when asked about releasing the Aurora Armor Pro with Camera Control button. Has anybody received the Prestige yet? Curious as to if they used copper rods on the Prestige and are just updating the Aurora with PCB, or if the Prestige already uses PCB...

Thanks for this. 2-3 months!

The 600D ArmorPro with cc button is there to buy for the 16 Pro. Hopefully the Pro Max version will be available very soon.

My prestige is on the way. I'm in Canada so probably another week or so, I'll send over some pictures when I get it.

I basically upgraded the Sheath in a Mous way. I bought an Ali sillicon camera control button (it is VERY sensitive, just as good as Spigen’s) and put it in the cutout. Of course, the edge of the case has a very small bulge now. But it’s ok.

Thanks for those that mentioned the tineeowl cases. Snagged a stone one for 12 bucks and I’m really impressed for the price. The neutral color case paired with a matte protector has been a game changer for my dumb phone iPhone setup.

I also really like the texture and rounded sides more than I thought I would.

 

[VSMacOne]

I checked out the Spigen Magfit Hybrid T

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid T also has a white CC button cover. The case is just as good as the official Apple one if not better and it’s much cheaper.

Tried it but had a horrible experience with the CC button. It was slower and glitchier than the Apple cases. Even at $20 it’s not worth it IMO.

Right. Perhaps I should’ve worded it differently. I hope they will release an alternative to their leather cases next year. There has to be a more premium feeling material out there than the FineWoven mess.

I don't know if it's just that photo, but that color looks so much better (to me) than the images on Amazon.

Unrelated but what screen protector is that?

 

[VSMacOne]

I was messing around on Amazon and came upon this interesting case that I had not seen before.
The upsides:
- running at $9 right now and it’s a steal at that price
- the frosted back is really nice to the touch and shows now fingerprints so far
- the sides are super grippy and comfortable in hand
- very thin and snug but not slippery at all

The only downsides I can find are:
- CC cutout has a super flimsy side that could easily get torn over time
- there is no lip around the screen with a screen protector installed (personally I like that because it makes it easier to swipe and type)

For a backup case this will do just fine.

Am I missing something, because it doesn’t seem like this solves anything? The problem with pill-shaped cutouts is that they’re uncomfortable and they make it difficult to reach the capacitive surface. Placing a button under the case doesn’t mitigate at all for either of these issues.
