The bad news and the good news. The bad being my new Süti had a small air gap at the upper right corner which created a little “click” sound when I touched the area or set the phone down on a table. The goods news is I emailed their support this morning and they got back to me in 10 minutes and shipped a replacement at no charge within an hour. Really quite exceptional customer service.
 
I just want a basic black leather case with a button instead of the cutout on the cheap one I bough off Amazon. Thing is, I update annually so buying an expensive case that I can't even resell after isn't worth it.

I still have a mint condition leather 15 Pro Max case just collecting dust. 77 views on Marketplace and no contact from anyone.
 
Ghost case 2.0 on white 16 PM.

Only have my iPad to take pics sorry.

My Ryan London case with the new CC button has arrived. Here's some photos of the CC button (as you probably already know what the overall case looks like). This one is the dark leather metal option.
My quick test of the button is very positive. I think it may be more responsive than the Apple silicon case, or at the very least, no worse. EDIT: I will say though, that the other buttons stick out a lot more than the Apple case, which isn't welcome.

No one wants them, have had 2 15 max for sale for months for like 20% of new price.

Even took me an over month to sell 2 x 16 max silicone cases, gave them away for $20AUD each worth $79.
got one for free and other for $60 so lost $20 lol

Try the black nomad traditional, that's all I have now, has a cutout but doesnt worry me, great leather case.
 
Whats the verdict on Ryan London case?

Im having second thoughts about Benks lol.
Finally the first leather case with silicon button arrives, hurray and well done Ryan London for being first over Nomad!

Just ordered the BLACK metal one, coming via Royal Mail Tracked 48. (NB. Checkout 15%-off discount code: 15OFF ;-)

Will up more photos when arrives.

Love the colours! Can you take a pic or two with the phone in it? How does the camera control button feel?

Here you go. I wasn’t sure what color iPhone you wanted to see it on so here is the case on white, black and natural titanium. I do not own the desert titanium so I apologize. Do not judge me. Yes I have three different colored iPhone 16 Pro maxes lol pictures were taken with my iPad so I apologize for quality. The camera control button works great.

Oh, unlucky for Australians (and prolly Kiwis too, I guess).
Nomad haven't released anything though, so Ryan London is your only leather option if you want a silicon button.

Thanks it looks great. Pairs well with both white and black.

Not keen paying $140 for a leather case.
Don't mind the nomad cut out and get to use the real button.
RL buttons seem to stick out alot, hard to have it all.
 
So, when I got the Aulumu A15 everyone was laughing at me here, for buying a $50 case that you could ‘easily find at a Walmart bin for 10 dollars’ and that it was just cheap plastic. Now the same case gets likes.

What changed?
They released the greatest Apple Watch Ultra 2 band ever made. Their cooling system actually works. Its high quality albeit vegan leather and it looks slick as F.

Similar experiences with Pitaka. I taken video with my 2 problematic cases, attached serial numbers and contacted support.
My replacements is on the way 👍
 
Bummer. Those are the kinds of small defects that resulted in my returning literally every Benks I ordered this year. Not saying everyone is having issues, but that was my experience.

The 1500D “Tactile Woven” models show the least fingerprints in my experience. Naturally, the lighter colors also fare better. I’d say the “Moonrise” and “Sunset” look good on the black Ti and aren’t bad for fingerprints. Beware that they still show some smudges, but for me it only required wiping once in the morning. The 600D “UltraSlim” in black/gray looked great out of the box, but was almost immediately covered with smudges and only got worse, requiring regular wiping throughout the day. I like black cases but that one is collecting dust.

Personally, I’d stay away from any of the “Pro” models with TPU sides from either Pitaka or Benks if fingerprints are a concern. All of those cases have a smoother coating, similar to the dreaded “soft touch” finish we know and love… lol.
benks looks cool, but the one I ordered for my 14 pro had saggy tpu around the screen which really bothered me. picked up an Pitaka case this year, which also had a defect. support is shipping a replacement unit though.
