Got my hands on the new M.Craftsman case from Amazon. Great looking and feeling case but it will be going back. The buttons are very noisy, the CC button is misaligned and the case seems to have some weird manufacturing defects around the CC button. It’s a shame because the materials/fit feel premium!

For real…it’s extremely irritating that these companies won’t update. The Action Button was bad for a cutout. The camera control is much worse because it’s much more than just a simple button.
I’d buy a Caudabe case immediately if they got rid of the cutout. I’d also buy a Bullstrap, but they also seem insistent that they won’t add a cover.

Looks like in the picture it’s just the closed bottom version.
Thanks. I just ordered one in Blue. It cost me 97 pence in total and due for delivery on Jan 9th. For that price you can’t really go wrong. If I’m not happy with it then it’s just a loss of 97 pence. 😃👍View attachment 2467436View attachment 2467434View attachment 2467433View attachment 2467435I grabbed one of these fake leather cases off AliX.
£12 total and honestly, it’s a top case.
Feels like leather, decent magnets, clicky buttons, very slim and tight fitting, working CC button. A great find and I’d recommend giving it a try if you’re struggling for a closed bottom, CC covered leather case. Patina process and smell aside, I think you’ll struggle to tell it’s fake.
I just found this on AliExpress: ￡6.63 | High-end Retro Oil Wax Pattern Strong Magnetic For Magsafe Leather Case For iPhone 15 14 Plus 13 16 Pro Max Camera Button Cover

Am tempted to grab a blue and green one too so pls post pics when you get it 👍
Picked up the Benks Prestige with the CC button. CC button works better than expected after watching Tee try their regular ArmorPro with it...was worried after watching his livestream. Not as smooth as Apple Silicone and Spigen, but this button is much more responsive than the TineeOwl case that I returned. If you swipe slow, it works really well, but fast swiping you notice it doesn't react as well. Also, once you initiate swiping, it starts slow on initial contact, but after 1 second, then it gets more responsive, like it needs to warm up. Hard to describe in words. With the TineeOwl case, it was pretty unusable, where slow swiping it would stutter if even that and fast swiping wouldn't do anything. Both cases, I used 99% IPA to wipe the inside of the buttons.
Benks prestige pro. First off the aramid pattern is awesome in person.
Secondly, I find the cc button to be pretty responsive imho despite the negative reviews. It feels good to have a non Apple case with cc button in hand. My new favorite case in my collection.

Yeah, definitely more responsive than I expected after hearing it wasn't good.
Just added MagSafe magnets to the outer shell, and it works perfectly.
i also got the benks prestige. i like it a lot. very slim. i like the silver buttons. and the silver camera surround. the action button has an orange accent. seems like the buttons are metal. the backside is smooth black so they are protected. those pics posted above don’t do it justice. the color, look and feel is great imo. i can’t comment on the cc button cause i think all are great. so my opinion should be disregarded on that. i’m just glad no cutout.
