I think so, but I'll know more in a day or two. Pictures on otter box's site show the edge whereas Apple does not. The blurb on the Apple store says it "...supports seamless interaction with Camera Control." Similar to how Apple described their silicon case.
Edit - Just seeing too that Apple Store's prices are $20 CHEAPER than Otterbox. Pretty odd.
I think Benks did a good job on their chamfer as well.The thinness of the case also doesn't make the hole look as chunky as the bulkier / heavier cases.

No floating metal buttons from Banks this year? That's a crime.
I’ll take some outside tomorrow to get a more neutral white balance.
Here’s a video I found of the stone gray vs clay:
Here’s a screenshot from the video. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, it appears the new Stone Gray is close to a neutral 50% gray, whereas last year’s Clay is warmer.
The Ultramarine 16 pro max case actually looks similar to the website pics. I like it!
Sorry for the crappy indoor lighting shots.

Can't remember the last good orange case...maybe for the XS Max lol. Even Nomad killed the ultra orange Rugged case color this year
The last few phones, the silicone cases held up great for me. The older ones would become shiny over time. Plus they are very lightweight and feel great with the titanium phone
I just hope Caudabe doesn’t have all you can eat Black Sheath on Friday and preorders for the new stuff
^This. I usually go with the Apple silicone case and end up going through 2-3 of them each year. This cycle, however, I still have the clay going strong since day 1 release of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. First year I've never bought more than one case. I consider this a win 😆
Wow. I REALLY love the color! Initially I was sad there was no white light pink or baby blue but this is actually a gorgeous change! Mine will be here tomorrow!
For years before the 13 I always bought The Sheath without even thinking about it. But when the 13 came out I tried the Apple leather case and I was absolutely hooked on leather. Just the right amount of grip without any of the lint. Then the 15 came out and I had to find a replacement leather case. I finally settled on Bare Skin. It's not perfect and it seems as though they aren't even announcing the Skin for the 16 yet.
So reading this ENTIRE thread I am looking at:
Nomad Modern Leather - I think I might like the combo TPU/Leather but not sure. So far this is my #1
Alma Alcantara Back Wrap - Same as above.
Lonli Edition - I used this for a while on my 15PM until it got too beat up. I HATE the style of cutout for the 16.
Rumwot (Amazon find) - Looks ok who knows. I ordered it along with the rest.
I also ordered a Benks and a Torres just to see if I want to try a non leather case.
I doubt I'll go back to Caudabe the material just doesn't appeal to me anymore. I'll have to see if they have a new case that is radically different on Friday.

Caudabe is no good. Won't work well with the camera control button. Guess I'll be buying the Apple case
That’s a real bummer. Guess I’ll be getting the Apple Silicone Ultramarine for my Black 16P (going back to a ”regular” size phone this year considering they’re feature parity). Also just ordered the amFilm screen protector off amazon which I’ve enjoyed this year.
Same Apple case for me
Are film screen protectors necessary anymore? I have had a few significant drops with my prior iPhones but the case always protected the glass and Apple is using much harder surface materials for its display.
