It would be hilarious if Apple released another batch of fine woven cases.

Thought I'd start off as I've just ordered the 16 Pro Max version of my reliable and favourite case for the 15 Pro Max, the Benks ArmorPro.
It has the cut out for the new 'button' which seems to be how it'll be for Pro/Pro Max cases. Maybe Apple's cases will have a solution, we'll see.
The buttons are black this time, will be nice if I can swap with my 15 PM version as it has nicer metallic buttons.

Anyway, here's pics of the Benks ArmorPro 600D.

Well, this will be a fun one

I really hope they'll release something that's actually good to replace FineWoven cases.

If not, I'm either going to get one of the Apple clear cases, or try a third-party leather case.

Forgot the Plus on the title

Where's the official "Sal09" thread?

 

[Hooterville]

Yeah, mods please delete. What was I thinking?

I was just joking, this thread is cool

Has Sal even been around lately? Haven't seen him in quite some time.

Might just have to go with one of these and call it a day with the 16 Pro Max:

Back at it we go…feel like I’ve been here forever. Haha.

 

[Pug72]

Reached out to Benks and the buttons on the 600D ArmorPro are no longer floating metal buttons, but now slitted. 🤦‍♂️

I'll see how I feel when it comes but I feel I will probably be doing usual Holy Grail hunt again now. 👎🏻

Have fun y'all not upgrading this time but will pop in once in awhile.

Obligatory thread of cases for the iPhone 16/Pro/Pro Max.

I have found (and I use smartphones hard) for years now that modern iPhones are tough enough to not need a case.

 

[Pug72]

Also I guess it depends on if you like to try to keep your expensive devices in good condition. Resale value gets effected also.

I too keep my expensive devices in good condition. My abused iPhone 15 Pro Max looks to be in very good to excellent condition, just like my 14 Pro and the 13 Pro were. My iPhones would get the same resale value as one kludged up in a case for the last year.

I too used cases in the old days, but modern iPhone Pros are much tougher.

Fingers crossed for good cases this year! I could not find a single one I liked for the 15 Pro

Sure…but it’s about the madness.

Here we go again.

Seems odd that we haven’t heard any leaks about this. FineWoven again or vegan leather or just silicone cases? Any guesses?

 

[Pug72]

Would be surprised if Apple go with the FineWoven again, I'm guessing some sort of pseudo leather.

 

[Delorean2006]

definitely getting the phone rebel gen 6, been using the PR Gen 5 and I have grown to love it more than my Symmetry and I've been using the symmetry primarily since my iPhone 5S

 

[Hooterville]

Yea, I'll wait for the "Official" Sal09 thread

 

[Hooterville]

HUGE capture button hole makes me not even want to upgrade this year 🤢🤢

Was hoping Phone Rebel would do away with that metal screw in camera ring this year, looks like it's still there

To be honest the capture button doesn’t bother me at all, the amount I use my camera, it’s a nice addition. Also, the gen 6 also looks slimmer (potentially) so that’s an added bonus.

I’m with you. I’m keeping my 15 pro max another year- that capture button is definitely something I’m not interested in

 

[chillip]

Hopefully Caudabe up there game this year with the 16. Lots of issues on the 15.
