I wanna try the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T, which color do you think would go best with natural titanium?

This is the clear with a grey ring on the NatTi16Pm. It’s been my favorite, followed by Otterbox Lumen and then Apple Silicon.

I’m giving the armor air a try since there’s no buttons or cut outs for the Cam control. Just openings all around for the buttons. I got the black with black camera ring. They didn’t have that color way on Amazon when I looked.

Which did you go with?

I’m near Los Angeles, and Benks was an Order on Tuesday, delivered the following Monday.

You’re probably dealing with the handoff to the in US delivery company (for me it was 4PX and 17 Track) and my first delivery from them. Also with the two Hurricanes on the Southeastern US, I’m sure there’s disruptions.

These types of ultra-thin cases tend to make me nervous, but the CC has me curious about how they perform compared to beefier cases that have either a button or a cutout. I have to admit that it makes the phone feel really nice, very close to naked, and direct access to the CC is super. There is no front lip at all so I keep catching myself starting to lay it face down before remembering to place it on its back. I’m going to give it at least a few days to see if I adapt or not.

I have a similar Benks coming later today (ArmorAir), it will be interesting to compare the two.

Nice! This is my first year trying these ultra thin cases and I love this type of case now. It definitely felt different at first but now that I’m used to it, it’s hard to top for me. I returned the Pitaka in favor of the Benks which is all around better IMO, looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the two compared.

There is no greater case than Apple Silicone for iPhone 16 series. Period.

End of story for me.
Thats me done looking for cases.
Of course I’ll watch this thread but from a distance.

I have to visit this thread less frequently as it gets bad for my wallet sometimes. So I get your sentiment about watching ..."this thread but from a distance."

I returned a Bellroy Leather case, so I have 5 cases total in my rotation.
Spigen UHTM
Otterbox Lumen
Apple Silicon (Denim)
Benks ArmorPro
Quadlock (necessary for my Motorcycle mount)

Trying not to buy anymore either, until I see maybe the One leather case that is a must have.

Edit: How many did you end up keeping in your rotation? I saw a little while back that you try to just stick to one case until the next upgrade, right?

People can hate on the Apple Silicone all they want, but there’s no denying the beauty of the cases, even the simple colors like black. IMO at least.

Beauty doesn’t mean anything if it collects lint, the surface wears away over time, the case is hard to take out of your pocket or the case is open at the bottom. In my opinion of course. 😛

I tried a Pitaka case last year with my 15 Pro Max but it was hard to put on and even harder to take off. That along with the minimal protection and no lip put me off them. I do like them style and design wise but they have to be practical too.

How do you like it? I have a Storm Grey on order via Amazon with the Natural hardware - waiting for it to ship. It was sold out on Nomad direct, and just a little $ off via Amazon.

It's pretty stiff and not as comfortable as the regular Nomad sport band. I've only had it on for about 15 minutes so far.
