Finally my 16 Pro in my hands, currently with black Apple Silicone Case, waiting for alternative brands with CC button cover.

PS but are we really sure Caudabe is not trying? 🙏

Spigen ToughArmor in black on my 16PM with the Spigen screen protector

Superb case and my favourite out of the lot. The UAG Monarch case went back to Amazon UK as it'd started to fall apart and I'd only used it once! At £75 I wasn't having that...

Did you know they do that case with a capture button?

How pullable are the sides and is it slippy at all with the hard back?
Thanks.

Yes; the clear T case, which I have in my bottom drawer... Not a huge fan TVBH, slippery in the hand

The ToughArmor case is much better; tight fitting and not slippery at all

Imagine next year if they do the same as the camera control to the volume rocker also (which is rumoured) 🫠 the up roar lol

I tried the lumen as well and noticed the rough edges but also dust under the case ugh .. silicone it is for now .. next case to try is taut new defender when it comes out
My issue with the Lumen was the same. Rough edges on the back of the case.

Share the link please
I placed my order yesterday and apparently they already sold out of the T variant. Here’s the link to the page - yesterday the T was available in the “version” drop down menu, it’s gone today.

How is everyone dealing with the camera cutouts on cases? Just got a Caudabe Sheath after using an Apple Silicone case since launch and I’m wondering if you get used to it. It’s kinda annoying in the hand.

I have the Sheath and I like the cutout, I think theirs is pretty well done. It's easy enough to work the CC button, but it's recessed enough that I don't accidentally hit it. I also like the lip of the cutout for the extra grip when pulling the phone out of my pocket. I like it enough that I wouldn't consider using a case with no cutout.

It’s mostly the in hand feel when you’re using it that annoys me. Like I always know it’s there when holding the phone.

I’m not having to as I’ve been using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T since launch and it’s the only case I have right now. I refuse to buy any cases that don’t have a cover for the camera button and the other few that do have it including the official Apple ones I don’t like. 😛
