Looks awesome. How’s the fit? I had some fit and loose button issues with last year’s version of this case for the 15PM, hoping they’ve solved those this year.
The fit is tight and no loose buttons. The buttons compared to last generation don't protrude as far out. Since the aramid fiber shell now extends to the sides and top, it creates a very rigid frame for the TPU to mold around. Aramid is textured so you get a feel of the weave. I give the PhoneRebel a 10/10 in terms of fit and tightness, this one is a 9/10.
I have no issues using the button on the dbrand grip. It may be a bit slow to register my finger initially, but once it does, it works just fine.
Probably not fake, maybe dog or cat leather. I remember a while ago a documentary investigating fake fur on slippers and such. Some samples weren’t taken at all and were real fur from cats for example. This was clothing products sold in well known chain stores.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.

Got my Benks ArmorPro with Camera Control and I really like it. I had been using a Spigen Hybrid Ultra T and it was working well. But this will be my new go to.
General pics with device installed tbh.
And inside of CC button.
Btw are they using sapphire glass?
Whatever it is, it’s a very decent case haha.
Exactly what I’ve been after in terms of fit, colour and feel in hand.
Might even sell on my Moonstone Paragon now which also loved
I honestly couldn’t tell you the difference. Also don’t think I’d be able to take a pic with it installed cause I don’t have another camera.
I did take a pic of the inside of the button. Seems to work as well as the Spigen one.

The button is much more on top, and that’s want I wanted. It is much easier to reach than digging into the case to reach the original button.
Looks like the Ultra Hybrid T is out for the 16/Plus, or at least the Spigen website lets me buy it. Just waiting on it to show up on Amazon before I go for it.
The buttons on the Apple Clear case are getting worse the more I use the case. That’s beginning to bother me. I hate to say it because that’s been such a solid case so far.
I had to exchange it like 4 times to get a case with a decent button push. They’re hard to press making it the least used case in my collection.
Hate the Dbrand grip. To fat and the screen protector sits above the edge. CC button works good though!
It’s a shame it’s not available on Amazon. If it was I might have given it a go. ☹️
And sent back to Amazon UK today - same with my wife's Fuscia case for her 16 Pro. Just too bloody slippy...
She's stuck with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T case and I've gone back to my UAG Monarch case
My view is that all the other cases with a CC button on the market have various cons that make them a no go. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid T while not perfect is the best all round case with a CC button cover in my opinion.
So the Spigen Hybrid T with its clear back or frosted is more grippier than apples silicone case ? Interesting.
Tineeowl is almost a keeper but the comfort level of the bottom area was not as smooth as the PRG6. Too many sharp edges for me.
PRG6 is so smooth and premium.
Still in love with it.
Holding up well.
Flawless awesome case for me personally and I am forever in debt to the guy who suggested it.
My wife finds it more grippy yes; it does have sections on the outer edges that are knurled, of a fashion etc, whereas the Apple case is like soap!
