This year is the first year I have managed to keep an Apple Silicone case on my phone for longer than a day.
More so with the fact I was telling myself to be patient with it.
Picks up a lot of pocket lint out of the box but after a week or so, the silicoen has worn in and it's barely picking anything up. It is very grippy and does leave fingerprints etc but have found a drip of washing up liquid and a damp microfibre cloth cleans it up well and reduces that.
I'll probably 'clean' it other than wipe it once a week or so going forwards

Thank you for the accurate feedback!
I was just about to ask this, you gave me the definitive answer.
I'm very attracted to the Sheath but if you are having a bad time with the cutout then there's little I can do, I'm going with Apple Silicone.
Had the Spigen Hybrid T on with camera control button and it’s excellent. Can be a bit slippy but nothing too bad.
Correct, the Sheath is ruined by the CC cutout. It's unusable. I hate silicone, but, Apple has nailed it. Caudabe, apparently have no plans to introduce a covered CC.

I returned the Torras 360 for being wayyy too slippery for the price. Got the Anker Ultra Magnetic from Amazon. It's the same concept but grippier and about ~$15 cheaper.
I always have the PM every year always with an apple leather. Last year had the Silicone only because they stopped the Leather. And only 1 case for each phone. This year ended up with 2 case 🙈
Welp. My apple silicon came in and I put it on, threw it in my pocket and pulled it out 5 minutes later and it was lint galore. Plus it isn’t comfortable to hold. Took it off and in the junk drawer it goes lol. Ryan London delivering today and and phonerebel frosted delivering Saturday. Gonna be a good week
I decided to grab the Incase Slim case for my black iPhone 16 Pro, and it's a really solid case! it's a transparent bumper case with a tinted black glossy back and the camera cutout is big enough to not hinder using camera control. It's a fairly low profile case that really hugs the phone. I found it for $39 at Best Buy.
Anyone pickup the Otterbox Figura case(s)? Got all 3 for my Pro Max. Miss this series. I had the blue titanium and it didn't match any of the Figura cases so I skipped it. Now I am back to white/silver titanium and the cases are amazing! Also picked up the Ultramarine Apple Silicone case too. Love that color

Received the ultramarine apple silicone case from Woot yesterday. That blue is gorgeous in person and I’m not having any issues with it picking up anything in the pockets (but I’ve never had issues with lint in pockets…).
For $30, it’ll suffice until 3rd party manufacturers have capacitive camera control covers.

Black. This years black is insane. The sides are a bit darker, but I went natural first then exchanged.
Lol it’s barely any different than last year’s black. My wife still has her 15 Pro Max in black and it looks almost identical when you put them next to one another.
Don’t get me wrong though it’s a great choice and I chose black coming from a blue titanium 15 Pro Max (which I kind of got bored of the color).
Has anyone been rocking the apple silicone case for the past few weeks? I’ve always been reluctant about it due to its durability issues, but seeing some comments here that they may have upgraded it from past silicone cases?
Has anyone been seeing any degradation with the case thus far? How is the case different from previous models?

It was noticeable for me. I had the black last year too.
Ah ok can’t argue with that then. Not a big difference to me.
My favorite black that was released lately was the Space Black 14 Pro Max for sure, deepest black since Jet Black 7. Otherwise they’re just always shades of dark gray.
But again I love my decision of going black this year and wouldn’t change it. Natural Ti was a very close second for me.
