iPhone 16 Apple Silicone Cases Have No Cutout for New Capture Button
Apple is introducing a new camera-based "Capture" button on at least some iPhone 16 models this year, and a new rumor claims that Apple's...

apple only function![]()
If this is true, we’re going to have one heck of a mess in the case market again as third-party manufacturers scramble to update their designs, perhaps to an even worse extent than we did last year with the Action button.That’s very interesting. So apple cases will have the button covered but still useable whereas 3rd party manufacturers won’t.
apple only function😄
This seems rather weird. How will Apple's cases work with the capture button covered, but 3rd party has to cover it? What kind of magic is this rumor suggesting will be in the Apple cases? I am very intrigued.That’s very interesting. So apple cases will have the button covered but still useable whereas 3rd party manufacturers won’t.

Edit: I guess they are putting a capacitive material on the top of button on the cases to keep it capacitive. We are going to get the magic silicone case, and the magic FineWoven/pleather/who the hell knows what material cases from Apple. They are now magic 🪄😂
You're probably not wrong. I usually stick with the Apple 1st party cases, so I really dont see that changing now. The cutout for the capture button to me is really ugly.And we'll have to pay double the price for them
I've basically had a whole year away from Apple cases due to the FineWoven saga but just recently, I've been wanting one.You're probably not wrong. I usually stick with the Apple 1st party cases, so I really dont see that changing now. The cutout for the capture button to me is really ugly.
Same, I preorder the iPhone 15PM last year and ordered the black FineWoven case. Got the case home and just could not love it like I did the Apple leather cases. Not great leather I know, but still a great case for me. So ended up cancelling my 15PM order (but for several reasons), and I am still rocking the 14 pro. I am still wondering if I can wait another year, or if I just bit the bullet and go FW this year and get the 16 pro. In the assumption that is what Apple releases this time. The magic FineWoven. Just something about those Apple 1st party cases.I've basically had a whole year away from Apple cases due to the FineWoven saga but just recently, I've been wanting one.
Think I may go to FineWoven, if that's what they release, this year and see how I get on.
Yep, exactly that.Just something about those Apple 1st party cases.
If the rumors are correct, FineWoven products were discontinued some time ago.Same, I preorder the iPhone 15PM last year and ordered the black FineWoven case.

Caudate aren't a bad choice. Maybe have to pick up one before it's all said and done.Yep, exactly that.
Although the Caudabe case with the shamphered edges looks intriguing. I tried a few Sheaths this year but just found them too square.
That is correct, back in April, but the rumors have been that Apple was still going to try and run out what was made already for the 16s. Some think it could be something else, but most are assuming we would have seen some leaks by now if there was another material being used.If the rumors are correct, FineWoven products were discontinued some time ago.
My understanding was that Apple was selling through the existing stock for the 15, but wouldn’t be manufacturing any new stock for the 16. It’ll be interesting to see what they do.That is correct, back in April, but the rumors have been that Apple was still going to try and run out what was made already for the 16s.

Maybe you are right, would be nice because FW just wasn't the answer. I really wish they would back track and go back to leather, but I highly doubt that ever happens. Hopefully a decent cactus leather or something similar.My understanding was that Apple was selling through the existing stock for the 15, but wouldn’t be manufacturing any new stock for the 16.

Best case in my opinion...
CAUDABE
Hands down, the best I have used and will continue using
No preorder for iPhone 16 as of yet
Leather? Where do you get leather from?Looks like they'll be releasing leather cases for the 16 series?...

It looks like leather to me in the image. Maybe just new colors of their current cases.Leather? Where do you get leather from?
Interesting, it looked like just another version of their hard material. I was seeing that as they are releasing an orange color case.It looks like leather to me in the image. Maybe just new colors of their current cases.
The case in the image appears to be a new version of the Synthesis, which has TPU sides joined to a poly back plate. In addition, this new case appears to have a microfiber lining, floating buttons, and side ribs similar to the Mous Limitless. I could be wrong, but I'm not seeing leather in this image.It looks like leather to me in the image. Maybe just new colors of their current cases.
love the kickstand case. Can't wait to get new TORRAS case for my 16 pro.TORRAS CASES in the house !
Got in two Torras cases today for the iPhone 16 Pro Max and they are pretty sweet. Both have a nice frosted back that does not show any fingerprints. Floating buttons that are plastic but float different than any buttons I've seen in the past and are buttery smooth. Both cases have strong Magsafe with the pop out metal stands and are of very high quality. Here are a couple quick pictures including a couple showing it next to my 15 Pro Max in the Caudabe Synthesis case. 19PM is going to be quite a bit bigger than the 15PM.
I'll have more pictures once I receive the new phone![]()
That clear one is a contender! I don’t think I’ve heard of this brand, is it good?![]()
