My Spigen Ultra Hybrid T bought on Amazon in October.

Do not buy that at all, unless of course, your case is made of sandpaper.

You can swipe up on the phone screen without even touching the case ffs 😂😂 Regardless of what case is fitted to the phone.
theres a reason apples own cases dont have the bottom wrapped around. 1: ease of removing the case 2:because swipe up.


thanks
 
Yeah I agree. My only complaint is that the fit could be tighter - it’s just a little too loose in my opinion.
I hate loose cases as well, one of my biggest pet peeves.

I might buy the Phone Rebel Gen 6. I see you can change the buttons/lens protector. Any recommendations of what colour buttons/lens protector goes best with a White iPhone 16 Pro Max?

It’s personal preference. I prefer simple black cases, so stock black is my preference.
 
Rebel Gen 6 or Air 2? Which one is slimmer? Where exactly is the difference?
The Air 2 is a simple, one-piece modeled TPU case with slit buttons and a cutout for the camera control. The Gen 6 is a hybrid case made from TPU, TPE, and aramid fiber, with an alloy camera surround, alloy buttons, and a capacitive camera control button. There’s really no comparison, the Gen 6 is better in every way, it just costs more.

It is usually caused by bromides in the plastic reacting with UV light. Here is something to think about. Bromides are used in cut-rate plastics. Is it possible you have a counterfeit case?
It won’t be a fake.

Spigen cases yellow. Despite how much they like to market that they don’t/wont.

You think the 16 Pro/Pro max cases were bad, just wait for these things to become a reality :(

It’s too bad they can’t place the three lenses straight across horizontally, which would look pretty good. I understand it’s because of spatial video that they have to have the lenses in the triangular arrangement. Does anyone use spatial video?

Jony Ive must be either laughing or crying.
 
Still sticking with the Caudabe Sheath on my 16 Pro, haven't found anything I like better. It's slim enough, offers good grip, good enough protection and is holding up well. It fits tightly, but doesn't interfere with my screen protector (as in pushing the edges up/causing bubbles). There's a very slight void between the case and screen protector where dust can accumulate, but it's not hard to wipe it out and I remove the case every once in a while to clean both it and my phone. My phone goes outdoors a lot and gets exposed to dust, dirt, water, etc., gets bumped and jostled around, and the case and metal buttons still look brand new.

I charge my phone overnight every night on a MagSafe charger and also keep it mounted to a magnetic mount in my car, and I can only see an impression of the charger ring on the case if I hold it at juuuuust the right angle in perfect light and really look hard for it.

The CC opening is no big deal to me - it keeps the button recessed so I'm not accidentally hitting it when I handle the phone, but it still allows access to it when I want to use it. And honestly, I don't use the CC button as often as I thought I would - more often I open the camera and control it from the on-screen controls, like I always have in the past. As a plus, the CC opening is also a convenient grip point when I pick up the phone.
