I’ve grown accustomed to using the button to launch the camera at any moment (I even set another launch shortcut on the lock screen to replace the camera) and I use it as a shutter button as well but I must admit I prefer using the screen to do adjustments vs the gestures on the button.

I use it all the time as there's always something I want to photograph on our daily dog walk. A quick double click when taking out of the pocket so I can immediately point and take a pic straight away. I use swipes on the button to change zoom, I love how it auto locks on the next zoom level with a swipe but deft strokes for incremental, gradual zooming in/out. Also love the relatively new half press to lock exposure and focus.

Visual Intelligence feature is amazing too. So quick to hold the button and then take a pic for a Google search or ChatGPT description. Had a bit of fun with it and haven't had to use practically yet, but knowing I can quickly translate literature or take a pic of an object to find out where to buy one, etc. is great.


You are missing out if you don't use the button, it just takes a few days of perseverance to get the muscle memory and once you are used to it I'm positive you'll prefer it.
 
The silicone surround also makes swiping harder. Overall poor solution, especially for a premium priced case.

Anything close to a full coverage Otterbox Commuter yet? I don’t like large unprotected cutouts. The Apple Silicone I’ve been using needs more of a lip around the screen.

Why am I missing out? All the features are literally on the screen for camera controls and just as fluid. I don’t need a button for some visual intelligence nonsense. You can incorporate the action button for that. No, Apple messed up the iPhone with another button and it’ll turn into something being removed. The old Apple regime would never had done such nonsense.
 
Everyone reporting the rubber around the CC button on the Mous is like a wet noodle and the case was rushed ☹️ I’m not wasting money on this crap
Noticed the YouTubers that rushed to get a video out on this case did not show the fit along the sides… That’s why I wait for T and see a proper review / first look . But yea the fit looks like crap from what I can see .

I'm not so sure it'll be removed, but I guess there were folks who liked the MacBook Touch Bar too and we know what happened there. 😄
Personally I hope it stays as it's made my camera use a much better experience.
 
Torras making moves as well.

Is the Pitaka MagEZ Pro any good
I returned one. After being nearly perfect last year, they messed up the design this year; the cutout is slightly off center and there is essentially no lip. They supposedly fixed the lip but quite a few people who have the revised version say it’s still basically flush. I’d say pass.
