Got the new apple store Otterbox lunar new year case, looks pretty cool with the ultramarine 16 Plus, reminds me of a tattoo sleeve.
Got a tip for us?

Bought one after watching. Cant wait to get it. Only thing is I wish RL would do a leather camera cut out like Bullstrap instead of metal.
Ryan London arrived! I'm happy with it for initial impressions. Here's some shots and also some comparo to the Apple OG leather. CC button is as good as I need it to be. Other buttons need some break in time - quiet but good tactile click. The camera ring is more substantial than Apple Leather. With the ESR Armorite glass on the front, the lip is maybe a hair above that if not flush. With a 16PM, no gap at all at the USB-C port. Speaker cutouts are perfect. 12 days from order placement to delivery in Los Angeles area with the free shipping. Looking forward to that funky cold patina!

Got the caudabe paragon case, didn't like it that much, sides feel rough and not easy to take in and out of pocket, not to mention a little too bulky for my taste, gonna return it and look for something else...
Phonerebel folding lense is out. Wish they made it in silver or titanium. Black and orange are a pass from me
here’s my ghost 2.0. for me it would be perfect and the end all if it had screen protection. the flush edges do make swiping real smooth.
none and i’ve been using it i want to say two weeks now. and i’ve removed it and put back on 2 or 3 times.
Just swapped from a 16 max to 16 pro, back to square one lol
Don't think I will get the Nomad traditional again $100AUD
Thinking just get a black apple silicone and be done warts and all, cutouts are a bit annoying on the max cases so imagine same on the pro so knocks out most.
Spigen with CC is expensive here.

In my opinion not bad at all. I find it (Otterbox symmetry with the cutout for anyone missing the original post) less annoying than accidentally pressing the camera control button and launching the camera when picking up the phone. I am not sure if the button on the Ghost 2.0 is super sensitive, but it would launch accidentally several times per day.
Don't get me wrong, I do like the ghost. I am usually not a fan of clear cases, but it’s one of the best that I have tried. Is it worth the asking price? Hard to say. It seems in line with other premium manufacturers asking prices. My only complaints were the camera button sensitivity and the fingerprints, which is to be expected on a clear case.

They are using copper rods so CC button will not be as good as other 3rd party cases.
Wow, your camera button looks a thousand times better than mine. How's it working?
QC is all over the place.
Weaving is very impressive but the area around tpu is not finished as good as the weaving. Shows white lines etc. Buttons rattle as well.
