I've ordered the new Ryan case with camera control button. It's arriving tomorrow, so I'll post first impressions and photos of that new button shortly.
Uhhh.. that`s the ugly CC cutout. I just saw that Apple is shipping it already and it would arrive tomorrow. I liked the cactus leather from last year and thought I buy this one too. They only have a picture from the front in the Apple Online Store. I am glad I did not order yet. I am waiting for my RL CC anyway.
OtterBox have pics on their site. Cutout is awful
The polished aluminum scratches pretty easily. I’ve been told the matte black is tougher, and the titanium is extremely scratch resistant due to the tungsten carbide coating, which is used a lot in jewelry. I mostly lay the phone face down, so it’s not a significant issue for me, but if you typically lay it face up you will pick up some scratches on the corners where they touch the table.
Hey, thanks for checking in. We’re up in NorCal, far away from the fires. We’re actually at above average rainfall in this region, so hoping to dodge that bullet this year (fingers crossed).
I'm happy to see you are having a positive experience with this case. I'm considering picking up the Rose Bronze for my Desert Ti 16 Pro. Have you noticed that it scratches easily? Are the corners on the front distracting at all?
Thanks!
It’s polished aluminum, so it does pick up some scratches at the highest point where the corners touch on the back. So far, the scratches on mine are fine, hairline type scratches. Think of the fine scratches that might develop on a ring, a metal eyeglass frame, or a watch case; so more like a patina than being unsightly. This won’t be an issue at all if you mostly lay your phone face down.
For me, not at all. At first I wasn’t sure about the corners bulging out, but they actually provide something to grip when taking the phone out of pockets, etc.

I have a question about MagSafe accessories. Do wallet fit OK with the ARC pulse?
Fingerprints on this Benks already bothering my OCD
I hate this case OCD I have
I got a cool case from Prodigee and it shows prints so badly. Ugh
I just want to be normal and use one case
my fiancée uses one case for the entire duration he has his phone. I’m not sure how he does it. Some days I want glitter some days I want bright colors. Some days I want thin case and some days I want thicker.
Do the metal buttons have protection on the inside?I'm easing into the thin case genre with this baby
Yes, looks like there is a thin black layer on the insides. I'll look a little closer after I take the case off in a day or so.
On the Pro Max a definite yes. On the smaller Pro, it depends upon the wallet. Mostly the issue is large battery packs on the Pro.
