So the pictures are crap because I’m using my iPad to take them. But got this Ringke 3 or 4 days ago and I’m actually loving it. I bought the spigen individual camera lens covers a day prior, then this case showed up and I thought I would have to remove them, but they fit perfectly and it looks so good in real life. The pictures do it no justice but it is probably the most comfortable case I have for the 16 pro, the CC button is EASY to access, and it doesn’t look uneven when looking at the front lip because of it. Grip is excellent, all around great case for >$20. Highly recommend…

Nice, I want to try the rugged gear one Ringke is now selling.

Is the back fingerprint city?

I wouldn’t say city, maybe a small fingerprint town, but doesn’t seem to bother me and I am usually OCD about that chit. It definitely gets them but not any more or less than your average clear back.

This is what I’m using in the pictures below, the ring lenses with the built in camera plate on the case.

One thing I meant to add was that the top corner opposite the camera has that little foot that prevents the phone from wobbling when face up, nice and sturdy!

So Cal
got the magbak elite case today. i’ll post some pics tomorrow. my initial impressions is it’s everything i hoped for. it has a soft touch feel. very grippy on the sides. i think it looks great. it has an overlapping style so i can’t see the edges of my screen protector. i didn’t install theirs since i got a perfect install with my esr amorite. (thanks @thatappleguytoday) if any rainbow effect is visible on the edge of your screen protector, you won’t see it with this case. the finger loop is great and comfortable. i need something to hold and use my phone in hand. so i have a bunch of magsafe grips. i’ve tried them all. this is the first implementation where i don’t have to look or use two hands to use. i’m really happy about this. i wasn’t too sure about using the kickstand in portrait orientation, but it works. i was pleasantly surprised. i was able to unlock with face id and use phone at my desk. i sent a few messages. i was able to tip over but only when trying to. the only thing i could hope for is a cc button. the cutout works though. i don’t find it at all flimsy in that area. since it has the wrap around style, its a wider area. i only have it on my phone for a few minutes so maybe i’ll come up with something, but rn this is great. i’ll take som photos tomorrow and post them here.

I’m not sure if the average consumer is bothered by not having a camera control button cover to be honest. I think it’s only the die hard consumers like the ones here that would be. 🤔

I don't consider myself an average consumer (I'm on here aren't I!) and I'm not getting hot and bothered by the camera control button either. I've been using the hell out of the Sheath's cutout (the button in the middle of the cutout, that is) and it's been fine.

Benks ArmorAir - Have the Aurora. A 1 month review: honestly loved the case when I first purchased it. Right, snug fit.

Lately have noticed that the case is definitely loosening up a bit. Am noticing weird clicking noises / tapping / feeling like the phone is not sitting in the case properly. Manually twisting the case while on the phone - definitely notice that it is not as snug as it use to be.

Unfortunately cannot reproduce the problem on video/pictures and therefore Benks unwilling to warranty this.

Just fyi for those who are considering this case.

You may be able to solve the problem by sticking some small pieces of Scotch tape (~.25” square) on the inside back of the case near the corners to act as spacers. Pitaka actually supplies little stickers with their thin aramid cases for this purpose.

In Sheath for last 12 hours.

Black Sheath on Desert Ti is so elegant and clean.

Silicone cases are now showing smudges and shine.

Yea, the Sheath is a fantastic case, just needs the button :rolleyes:

I might need to order a black Sheath as I only have the gray 1

I quit the silicone cases ;)
