All I want is for Apple to release a solid leather alternative next year. It was the best case for years on end!

This exactly. I am a leather guy as well, but even more so an Apple case guy. The silicone and clear cases are trash, so it’s off to 3rd party for leather cases. I choose Ryan London open bottom, but would come back to an Apple premium case in a heart beat.

Hoping that Ryan London will be coming out with a leather case with a camera control button soon.

I’m hoping that RL will release a nice colour (not black or brown) open bottom case for the Plus. Not going to happen I know.
 
I don't see people talking about M Craftsman cases. Tbh they have an original CC design using gold, it's very responsive and the case is quite nice looking.

What’s the lens protector you have on?


It doesn't cover the lenses; just surrounds them and sits slightly proud etc

Ringke used to do them but they've stopped for some reason

Had them on my 13/14/15PM phones as well; they do a great job

I highly doubt that because for as long as I can remember it has been saddle brown, dark brown, and black. I don’t think they venture out beyond those.

I just hope they can figure out the CC button on the open bottom and make the case thinner.
 
I prefer Amazon. Free shipping and easy returns.
Definitely agree. I just meant in order to determine the true universe of their offerings. But, as always, that ended up being unnecessary given the community knowledge right here in this thread.

Noted. Very interesting to see the different approaches to e-commerce. And not everyone has Prime. But since I’m already paying an arm and a leg for the prime membership I’m gonna use the fire out of the free shipping/easy returns 🤣.
 
Speaking of Amazon, the Sunset Pitaka is on sale for $49. Someone talk me out of it…
Ooo, that’s a good deal. Far be it from me to talk someone out of a great case at a great price. 😉

Pitaka has some new designs that are currently only available direct. I have to wonder if they’re trying to reduce stock on their older designs in anticipation of offering the new designs on Amazon.

Amen to that my friend! For me the silicone checks all the spots because of the camera button. Slim fit, camera button, buttons on mine are super super clicky, lint isn’t an issue at all after a day or two and I love the ultramarine color. But nothing will beat the apple leather.

So if I’m understanding correctly the dimensions are the same besides the CC button?

That means Spigen doesn’t make a light frosted CC case? Only the black and graphite? Doubt either of those would look good on the Desert Titanium
I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T in clear which has a CC button, white MagSafe circle and line. I am trying to go caseless, but in the meantime, this one works, looks and feels great with my 16 Pro Desert Titanium!
