I hope that's not material on the back of the new Caudabe cases :confused:
You ordered Ember yet ?

Does anyone think manufacturers will actually change the case designs to cover the camera button ?

Also is anyone considering a Vaja case , they look nice but also have that extra opening along with the existing ones.
Whose to say the capacitive button is not more receptive to your actual finger than a button in between? I really doubt they do anything for this iteration and probably hold off for the 17 series. Functionality wise, how they have it will work just fine.

Unless there's some sort of ridiculous Apple licensing issue in play I don't see how other manufacturers don't start coming out with their own capacitive buttons, but I also think it's an open question as to whether people will prefer that or direct access to the phone's button.

I've been looking and thought caudabe was going to have a red/burgundy shell case for iphone 16 pro. no dice this am. has anyone a recommend? 40th anniversary is ruby. I want for anniversary gift.

Unfortunately they bring out new colours later. Looking at my purchase history, the Garnet Red 15 PM Sheath was the following January.

If licensing isn’t an issue, then demand will dictate whether manufacturers do a button.

If they have to use a material like glass, like the Apple cases, then prices will go up. If they have to deal with licensing, then prices will go way up.

I have never been so nervous about a phone case purchase

Something tells me Caudabe had no idea of the extent of the action control button on the new iPhone.

I am not confident this case is going to work well with the button, but I decided to take the gamble. Apple Silicone would have been a great choice but too many photos online of those cases breaking down within a year. I have never had a bad case from Caudabe.

Ayyy welcome to the dark side

Switched my order from Gray Synthesis to Black Synthesis. Caudabe caught it on time right before shipping out. I also like the fact that the hole for the capture button won’t stand out with the black on black look.

Also interested in that Spigen Ultra T Magfit in Frost Black and I already have the Apple Stone Gray Silicone in hand.

I'm glad that Caudabe caught it before it shipped, their customer service has been great to me. I agree with the black on black, capture button should blend right in.

That Spigen Ultra T looks sick, gonna have to pick that up when it comes back in stock. I'm still undecided on which color silicone case I wanna get. Not sure if you saw my post earlier, but I picked up a cheap ESR case to hold me over until I decide and until reviews come out on Caudabe cases, etc.

I doubt Apple would have included a button cover on their cases if it negatively affected the functionality of their new heavily promoted button.

It sure was! I snagged the 16P Black titanium 256gb. Going back small pro since the 12 pro. Looking forward to it. Got the Lake Green silicone and Sienna Minimalist Bullstrap.
Good choice on the Sienna....classic color. I went Terra this time around for the minimalist case. Thats not to say I won't get a closed bottom Sienna when the verdict is out on the changes they made it V2.

Man, I'm going to miss my "Hooterbox" Symmetry case with the orange buttons :(

If anyone needs any 15PM cases cheap, let me know

Ah ok so you didn’t order any Caudabe at all yet? I held off on the Paragon I’m in no rush for that one. I’ll wait for the reviews.

Things wear...you don't know how that case button will function in the longer term....no one does. All I am saying, its made to be touched not covered. People just like to find something to complain about and this for sure will be it this year. No one was up and arms about the mute switch being open for how many years. I just don't get it but to each their own.

No Caudabe for me yet, but I'm sure eventually I'll fold and get a black Synth lol. I'm holding off on the Paragon for sure until reviews come out. I can't tell but if they're using separate material on the back, it'll definitely be a no go for me.

There seems to be a overwhelming preference for one type of case I've never heard of, so much so, people are ordering it when it's likely to not work correctly, as far as buttons go.

Like this is a tread dedicated to them. Anyone at all just getting an Apple case? Granted, FineWoven is a non-no lol
