Does Alu camera ring scratch easily on these cases ?

Had multiple and never marked one. I am careful with my phones though so if you are more carefree then I'm not going to say it's scratchproof.
In and out of pockets and always placed back down and always stayed flawless.

OCD freak here as well lol.

My device never lays on bare surface. Always has a cloth or mat underneath it or attached to Apple wallet.

I have not, trying to hold out and see what's on the horizon.
Maybe if they go back on sale, I'll order one.
I feel like everyone is holding their breath, waiting to see what the Gen 6 button is going to be like. I’m over here on the side, weirdly still in the Arc Pulse and enjoying it (never thought those words would come out of my mouth… lol).

looks pretty neat actually! how do the volume/power buttons feel and the general material of the case?
I prefer that to the thin MagSafe thing

I'm going to just let you know now that the thing is slippery yes. But I'll take it for that blue color and the fact that the buttons are nice and clicky.

The way I explained the case to a friend is that it's basically the Apple clear case except not clear obvs and the buttons are way better.

Caudabe, really holding it out trying to dump all that dead inventory o_O
I wonder which company will be the first to develop a button that equals Apple’s? Spigen and Otterbox are close, but the others seem only so-so. Caudabe had such a tough time with the MagSafe bump and their slit buttons last year I have to wonder if they have the technical chops to pull off a perfect CC button.

I don't notice any difference between Apple & Spigen?

Apple’s seems to require slightly less force to click, and swipes seem to start up with a slightly lighter touch. It’s a subtle difference for sure, assuming placebo isn’t at play, which it could be. Either way, both the Spigen and Otterbox are very good in my opinion.

Most obvious to me is the Apple swipes more smoothly. There's a little bit of "herky-jerky" on the Spigen (but just a little).

But I may soon be going back to the Ultra Hybrid T from the Apple Silicone because a) I don't like the feel of silicone and b) surprisingly, the Spigen has a noticeably stronger Magsafe magnet than the Apple case.
 
The Ultra Hybrid T smoke black looks incredible against the white titanium phone. Think I’ve read this case has no grip? For me it’s amazing with the tpu grippy sides. MagSafe is top shelf. I can see this turning into my most used case. Looks so good.

I have the clear version with the white MagSafe ring and I really like it. It’s the only case I currently own and I’ve been using it since I got my 16 Pro Max at launch. Some say it has no grip but I think it has plenty of grip. 😃👍
 
Arc Pulse with circuits dbrand skin
I got the white “something” skin for my 16 pro thinking it would look cool with a clear case, because the black titanium shows every piece of lint/dust in a clear case. I waited like 10-13 days for it to arrive and when I paired it with a clear case, it looked like a white piece of printer paper with a design on it. Not what I expected for a 25-30 dollar sticker. Granted I got it on Black Friday sale, I am definitely regretting that purchase lol.
