The beats are really great, Where did you find it for 22 ? The summit stone hides the smudges nicely…
But I do hope Apple introduces a new premium case next week .
I got it from local store Alza.cz, only black version for that price.
The beats case is open around the speakers and charging port? That's a shame as it will bother many people.
What bad is with open bottom? I dont understand it.

if the phone drops, more likely to scratch/dent the open area. Furthermore dust is more likely to get trapped in the speaker grills.

Just got the Belemay case for my 16 Pro with the Camera Control button. Got Saddle Brown leather (not the horse leather whatever that is.) Some initial thoughts of the Belemay case:

1. Fits well and is snug, but it’s clearly thicker around the edges of the phone compared to the Ryan London case with CC button
2. CC button works, but it’s raised compared to the RL and my Apple Silicon case. It’s weird but doesn’t impact the functionality. I hate the CC button and never use it but wanted a cover lol, but prefer the Apple and RL implementation
3. Doesn’t really smell like leather (feels like plastic) but definitely better than the Apple Silicon case. RL clearly feels and smells like leather. If RL can fix the USB-C cutout, then I think that’s the best case out there
4. The bottom cutouts aren’t perfectly aligned and have some visible creases. Not a deal breaker but doesn’t feel like $50 worth of quality
5. MagSafe magnet is very weak

Feels like the case should be about $30-$40, not $50. Not sure if I am going to keep this or not, but at least its an option for those of us who will only purchase a case with a CC button

UPDATE: Returning it back to Amazon. Cannot recommend this case!

looks good! which case is it? got pics of the other side? interested to see if there's a significantly raised lip or not
It's the Magsafe Ringke Rugged. IMO, one of the best cases you can get for the iPhone 16PM/16P

There is not a ton of lip, but that's Ok with me. Here's an older pic of the front and I do have a tempered glass protector on the phone:

Any usb c port gaps?

That RL shouldn't have a gap it's bowed up not down ;)
 
We now have another leather case with a CC button:

On Amazon UK they only have the cutout version and only in two shades of brown and black. Will have to see if the one with the CC button cover eventually appears on there.

Used the Belemay case a little bit more and this case is going back to Amazon tomorrow. It’s way too thick, feels and smells like cheap plastic, and the CC button is heavily scratched already. The CC button sticks out way too far and has take by my count 12 pictures in the last hour or so.

Back to my (hated) Apple Silicon case again. The search continues for me at least.

Is it only the ryan london shell with sapphire button that has a gap around the usb-c connector or is the closed version without the saphire button also affected?

Honestly I’m not sure. I only have the version with the CC button. I love the it (except the gap near the USB C).

This case is the proper thickness, smells and feels like premium leather (ok not Hermes, but its not $1,000), has the proper CC button, but oh my the gap at the bottom near the USB C port. Why oh why Ryan London?!? If this was a design decision, then the designer should be walked out the door immediately. It’s inexcusable.

Ok folks I am in a pickle and need help.

An individual just sent me money (3 digit sum) via Paypal and a minute later they opened a case that they haven’t received their order and also mentioning the money was sent to me in error.

I googled and found loads of scam examples of the above on reddit. I thought about replying via Paypal and agreeing to send the money back but after reading messages on reddit im going to wait it out.

I think best course of action will be to contact Paypal directly and have a word with them and let them deal with it. I don’t want to send money now and then afterwards someone opens a chargeback against me and im out of pocket.

What you guys think?

p.s the transaction is currently on hold. So in reality i do not have that money at my disposal.

Exactly. Don't do a refund. Contact Paypal and let them know what is going on.
