Really digging the 16 Pro Beats case in summit stone color. Looks sick on the white titanium. And feels good. Surprised cause I hate cases. Picked it up on a whim at the Apple Store. Might keep it

Got the Figura. The camera control cutout is not aligned in either of them. For the price and coming directly from Apple, I expected better. It does feel as nice as the silicone cases and doesn’t attract lint. I’ll definitely keep one, just not sure which color to keep.

How many cases does everyone have and typically use on rotation?

I have 5: Apple silicone, Benks Golden Tide, Bellroy leather, Bellroy venture and Rimowa polycarbonate

Trying to tell myself I don’t need the Casebelle that everyone is praising (in dusk blue).

Same here, from most to least favorite: Spigen UHTM, Otter Lumen, Benks Armor Pro, Quadlock (necessary for the moto) and Apple Silicon.

Still holding out for a leather case with a CC covered button - but I’m hopefully done. Wish I didn’t have 2 clear cases, but despite that, I think I decent variety.

I need to find another case ASAP. My phone arrived today, I fitted the black Apple silicone case, and 2 minutes later I want it gone. It’s not black, more a deep navy blue, and one dip in my shorts pocket and it’s covered in lint. That doesn’t work for me, it’s going back.

Also fitted the AMFilm screen protector. Easy install, I did end up with one tiny speck of dust under it, but it’s not noticeable, so I’m not worried about it. It gets some rainbow effect when I angle the phone, due it being the same size as the screen, but front on it’s fine. For the price, no complaints.

This will be controversial on here! I know I'm in the minority in liking this sort of thing.... 🤣

My Suti PhoneBack order arrived yesterday, and I absolutely flippin love them!! I ended up settling on one on last year's 15 Pro but they only had leather and silicone versions then. I pre-ordered these the second they were released, absolutely love these materials.

The one on my phone is the NanoSuede in Polar Fleece colour. It's my favourite of the 4 so far.

In the picture of all 4 cases, L-R is Nano Suede Polar Fleece, NanoSuede Black, Carbon Fiber, and Clear.

(100% in no way am I linked to Suti, just absolutely love their product, and their founder Lon is really responsive on emails which I love).

I just received my silicone Phoneback and I am so disappointed. The 15 Pro ones were literally seamless silicone backs, and these are plastic frames with silicone plates on the flat part…and not nearly as grippy nor beautiful. Add that to the fact that I still haven’t received the wood or leather ones in my preorder and had to email frequently to figure out why we’re nearly a month from the promised ship date—I’m cancelling the rest and returning this one. Very sad. I loved their concept, but this is a regression.

Try https://atomstudios.com/. Really nice, smooth texture, albeit a bit of a fingerprint magnet. I love the naked feeling of phone in hand. Minimal protection comes with the turf. It's my once-a-week case.
 
Can anybody please recommend me a quality, protective case, with good grip and feel that goes with the 16 Pro White Titanium?

Ah that's a shame :( Ref the design, that's the same as my NanoSuede one, but I was expecting it so am happy with it. I've not had the silicone one so if that's a change since last year's you definitely have a reason to be unhappy.

Ref the service/timescales etc, that sounds crap. If you can be bothered I'd try reaching out to their founder Lon via heylon@suti.co, I've had a few emails with him and he's been super responsive and friendly.
 
Any members here travelling to South Africa anytime soon
I can do with the Spigen Black frosted hybrid T case

Shipping costs are 3 times the price of the case.

Ordered the $20.99 Frost Black Spigen UHT from eBay. I do wish the sides were matte black vs shiny black but need to see it in person to see whether I like it or not.

I currently have this on my phone. Not a huge fan of the shiny sides although they are somewhat grippy.

I will say, the back is a wet bar of soap. Miss my silicone

Yeah I find the sides ruin the case. Get slippery and greasy very easily.

Well my hopes for it aren’t too high as I’m not too keen on shiny parts on a case but had to see what all the hype was about and get it out of my system. Either way my Benks ArmorAir completely satisfies.

honestly same, i feel less confident taking pics around water than i did with the silicon, but theres a stupid slimy feeling with the silicon too. Will wait for a good leather case with the capacitive button

Note i have the beats case not the spigen but honestly all the polycarbons are gonna be similar in grip issues.

Do you have any photos of your iPhone in it? Im curious but it looked a little cheap from the videos I watched.

It’s not a bad case, but nothing special. I think the only reason it’s hyped is that it’s the one case with a CC button cover that has fewer flaws than the others. As they say, “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.” 🙂
