i think i’m gonna switch to the pro size instead of pro max (which i have had for several years) thoughts?

A gamble? Cutouts should work with no problems. I’m not too concerned. My only concern is not getting a case with an oversized cutout. I’ve seen some gnarly ones so far.

If you don’t mind the look of the CC cutout, then yes, it’s no gamble. If, on the other hand, you prefer a closed cover, there is going to be some shenanigans as we wait for these manufacturers to figure it out (thinking of the Action button chaos from last year, which is bound to be worse with this capacitive button).

I'm really glad I'm not upgrading this year. That cutout is not for me. Hopefully other manufacturers figure it out before the 17 series 😂

Seems like only Apple cases and those on the Apple store (Otterbox, Beats) will have the camera control button covered and a proper capacitive button. Other case manufacturers will take some time to update their cases (or get an official Apple one and copy).

The problem I have with the cutouts is the dust your screen protector gets all around the edges will be on full display there. Will likely return the aspen and keep the Ryan London if all else is equal.

What does the Apple silicone hole look like?

It’s a capacitive cover, no hole.

i have a frameless case rn on my 15pm and i used the arc pulse for many months and i don’t have dust buildup around my screen protector. 🤔
 
Struggling to find a simple leather case similar to what Apple used to provide. That’s all I want. Nothing bulky, just simple and minimalistic. I’ve seen a few different brands posted here but does anyone have a personal preference like mine, and if so, what did you end up going with?

Dunno if they're making a 16 version but LuckyCoin is the thinnest/closest to what Apple's Leather cases were. If you prefer the open-bottom leather cases, Ryan London and Bullstrap were my favorites.

This is possibly a concern

Caudabe cases for iPhone 16 drop on Friday

However, I am wondering if it's a better idea to go with the official Apple cases since they are designed to communicate better with Camera Control.

Any thoughts?

Don't Buy an iPhone 16 Case Yet. Here's What to Look for First

Apple added a new button to the iPhone 16 series. That makes buying a case a bit more complicated.

Trying to get something a bit lighter than my Gripzilla this time around. I’ll probably start with either a Gripmunk or Ringke Onyx. Also, it’s nice to see Spigen finally added MagSafe to the Thin Fit. That seems like a decent option now as well.
 
I ended up ordering two gray (one for me one for husband) and one ultramarine for my son. The gray grew on me. That’s not saying if the pastels hit this spring or whenever I won’t be getting one. But the gray is really classy looking!
