Also try the suppose ub mag stand, much better than the ob lumen which I also have, the camera sticks out more on the supcase, but I like it better than the lumen, I have it on double click and it works out great, it gives it a extra area to hold on to, and as far as sensitivity, I have no issues at all compared to the lumen.
Thanks. I had the Supcase and ended up returning it. It’s pretty nice, but at least on my particular case the CC cover was less sensitive than the Apple, which was particularly noticeable when zooming in video. Not a bad case for the price though.

I received the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T MagGit case in Frost Black last night, and I’m really impressed with the craftsmanship and overall quality. It’s a beautifully made case, and I’m happy with my choice. However, I do wish the back offered a bit more grip, as I’m slightly concerned about it slipping. To address this, I’ve ordered the Spigen O-Mag Ring for extra grip. Once it arrives tomorrow, I’ll take some photos of the complete setup and share them.

Please let me know what you think, was considering one for my 15 last year, but never got one.

Very nice case. Perfect fit and bottons. Much slimmer than sheath or synthesis. However you can see the MagSafe ring and the back is slippery. Grip dots are really good. For the money it’s a great case.

London, UK.
I saw it was available on UK Amazon now but decided against it after watching reviews on YT. The ease the sides pull out put me off as well as the stand hinge holes possibly letting grit and dust in. Petty I know. 😄

Still might give it an Amazon rent to try it out, lol. I'm sure you'll report your thoughts when it comes. 👍🏻
I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T and it doesn’t have a stand. Also on mine the sides certainly don’t pull out that easily. I think maybe you’re referring to a different case. 🤔

I just got a ship notice from Spigen for the Tough Armor T AI for my 16PM. I've been using the Apple Silicone case, but I'm not convinced it's protective enough for Mr. Klutz. And I am only considering cases with camera button covers.

I expect the new case to be here Monday.

Was that direct, Amazon, or eBay?

It was Spigen direct. Even though that's the most expensive route, that's the only place that actually has them in stock and shipping.

I had previously ordered via Amazon (for $20 less than direct), but Amazon simply said they will email me with a ship date when they get stock. It's unclear when, if ever, Amazon will actually have them. And I want the case RIGHT NOW! ;)

Have you tried the Spigen UHT yet? I was finally able to get one shipped and should have it by the weekend. Hoping it provides a better alternative to the Silicone than the Lumen, which was just OK, not great.

I still have not tried a case with a cutout that I like. I’m perhaps one of those rare individuals who is using the camera control a lot.

I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T and it doesn’t have a stand. Also on mine the sides certainly don’t pull out that easily. I think maybe you’re referring to a different case. 🤔

Sorry both, was referring to to the Tough Armor T. 🫣

The UHT is a no go for me as I really dislike the feel of that type of shiny TPU. Goes through me for some reason.

The Tough Armor T loose sides show 2:42 on this vid. (Not the capture button version but will be obv similar)

I’m not sure we can really tell much from the video. The reviewer was saying the sides are good while pulling on it with what looked like quite a lot of force, making it look not so good. So, from how I interpret what I saw, the sides may be fine. I’ll be receiving one soon and will report back.

Looks sharp. I’m surprised they toned down the grips on the Frosty as it seemed perfectly fine last year.

How’s that cutout work for you?
Yea, they should have left the grips alone. I abandoned the Frosty after throwing my brand new phone on the floor for the first time :( this case is like a greased pig

I guess the Apple Silicone is my benchmark, takes a lot of force to budge the sides.
