Here you go. The button works as well as the Spigen T's, I would say. It's better than Supcase. It has a soft coating on it, so there's no metal on metal. Lame lanyard holes, but oh well. You can see the slight texture in that image where I have it standing up.

I've only been using it for about an hour, but my initial impressions are pretty positive. The added texture on the sides definitely helps compared to other similar cases. The buttons are all clicky (though they are non-floating), but for only about $15, they work well. The camera button functions just fine. It's nothing fancy (only negative), as it has a similar cookie-cutter design that we're all familiar with. I will definitely continue to use this until something better comes along. May grab the gray one.
before uploading just tap the options icon bottom right and change to large from full and it will upload. you tap to upload an image, tap on from library and before choosing the image tap on icon bottom right and change size.
Yeah. I think they had major Black Friday sales to get rid of as many cases as possible before putting out the Cc button ones.
I'm about ready to go with the thin Pitaka / Benk's cases and forget all about this CC button ordeal 
Now that is a crazy price and a crazy idea to take out a loan to pay for a case.
Sold by a reseller most likely the reason why price is so high.
163 pounds for that case - you might need 60 month financing for that baby
The Sunset and Moonrise both look great on the black phone. I think it’s personal preference depending upon whether you prefer warm or cool colors. For what it’s worth, the Sunset is the best seller on Amazon among all of Pitaka’s colors other than black.
Rebel Flex hands down. Easily in my top 3 cases. Better grip with outstanding MagSafe.
I like the Benks offerings better for the black phone due to the black camera ring. But if set on Pitaka, it’s Milky Way.
I did the drop down to a 16 from the 15P (for that sweet Ultramarine) and just wasn't aware how little case makers seem to care for the base model devices lol. Mous isn't doing a version of their case with the CC button (even if it's the bad button) for the 16 devices and Spigen also doesn't make a T series case for it.
Strange but oh well.

Probably right! That’s why the prices are 75, to make up for people doing that nonsense lol. Stealing for a phone case is crazy work.
My flex arrived today, and a Gen 6 as well. I've also got a Benks ArmorAir on the way.
Curious...what would you say is your top 3 ?
Right now Rebel Flex, Apple sili, and Pitaka tactile woven. Honorable mention to PR Gen6. Once that case gets a CC button it’ll be easily in my top 3.

i personally like the benks more simply because of the slight screen lip. if pitaka had the same lip, i do like their camera ring more. i have 2 benks, the aurora and the montage.
For me, Pitaka has excelent fit on series 16. Personally I like its lip. Benks with its lip feels more unfriendly and phone with Benks doesn't feel so smooth and caseless like with Pitaka 😄. Also Pitaka weaving is much better quality.
But all is personal preference.
I have the 16 Plus and am so disappointed with case makers, especially the leather ones. None on my wish list are available for the Plus, or only in fewer colours/options. I really wish Apple hadn’t gone all woke and stopped making their leather cases.
Mous Customer service seems to be nonexistent.. reached out to them via email and instagram like a week or so ago, still no response. But they want people to rebuy cases for 75 bucks. I might have to add them to the Do Not Buy list lol
