I wonder if cases with cutouts for the camera button would be an issue for those with long nails? I feel like cases with cutouts for the action button are a little annoying for me right now so I figure it might be similar for the camera button too. For now I went with the Apple case, later once more people use cases with cutouts and have opinions on it I might be open to trying something else, we will see.
Got a tip for us?

Pretty! That’s gonna look so cute on the pink phone.
They are refusing to reply to my emailed question asking what happens if the camera control function does not work.
I don't think they like that question being asked
However, I do believe they have a 30-day return policy.
I did hear that customers who went through the debacle with their iPhone 15 cases had a tough time with customer support but that is only second-hand information from reading this forum.
It's questions and potential issues like this that make me wonder if there's a reason for those truly wide open CC button cutouts on some models.
It's apparently, a snap..?

I've seen snappier!
Easy, but you pay for the shipping return. Gross.
I knew one wouldn't have been enough lol
IF capacitive buttons become de rigueur, I can see this one being in the 16 Series HOF.
Just be ready to swallow up a 25% restocking fee. Which is pretty significant just for a trial of color.
No restocking fee at the apple store, so I'm not concerned about that.
You got jackasses that do YouTube video reviews who buy AirPods Max in every single color, cases in every single color, iPhones in every single color, and then return the ones they don't want.
Apple always takes it back no problem. No restocking fee. I am surprised this practice hasn't hurt the rest of us and we eventually get penalized for returns.

It has hurt the rest of us. Things would definitely be cheaper if they had a stricter return policy. Maybe not much but I'm sure it plays a part.
I don't think they'll be out until later. Haven't seen or heard anything from them. As far as I know, they only exist on Amazon.
Apple is literally second to Gold...they can care less about measly returns and AirPod Max headphones lol
Anyone try this brand..Belemay? https://www.amazon.com/Belemay-Compatible-Leather-Full-Grain-Vegetable-Tanned/dp/B0DC6S2YD9/ref=sr_1_11?crid=1SVN64W2806X6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.d3EevaU5MYYq8-aG9A7W-M8Hbc2Kdk_GM6phSiZAYaCFnVgPbd7mwUoFV8417bvznXE2nHIIQPLXcKpaP3b5VMSMmCqjpUMXA2jYalFFTFTbpqhO9DcVZUQnKYm3tllN2vH_D3-0lLv7UIAB1InCpkpR9HqRLPmIgFKqDCxuC1oAg4BkuhNu4EiTpKphEv6nLC2uev2aqp21JBtm5wOj8XZmEOu3csKf6R0xJOd16bM.fp_q5AG_nC59jPXeqT23zXeRVLWAu4VF5bvutU-kbYE&dib_tag=se&keywords=leather+iphone+16+pro+max&qid=1725983480&sprefix=leather+iphone+16+pro+max,aps,125&sr=8-11&th=1
looking for leather case to hold me over until my Ryan London comes. My Aspen came by I don't like the full cutout and the leather smells more like chemicals than leather. My current Aspen 15 pro max smells fantastic as did the one I had prior so that's odd.

You could look at their S15 reviews I suppose: https://www.amazon.com/Belemay-Compatible-iPhone-Leather-Magsafe/dp/B0CKPKGC5V
Maybe the smell will dissipate? Some sort of initial treatment maybe?
My apologies to Caudabe. They finally responded moments ago.
First of all, so sorry for the delay in response. We're experiencing very high contact volume and it's taking us longer than usual to reply to emails. But let's get this resolved for you!
If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, we do have a 30 day return/exchange policy. As mentioned in our previous email, our goal was to design a cutout that would enable users to easily access and use the Camera Control button, but wouldn’t be grotesquely large, especially given the slightly awkward placement of the button on the phone itself. The cutout was designed to work seamlessly and so functionality shouldn't be an issue here.
Looks like the order has been placed, and we really think you'll like it!
The smell of the Andar? Probably. Last years cases did not smell like this. But really my issue is the complete cutout. The edge of a screen protector always gets dust stuck to it so that cutout is gonna look nasty.
I looked at the non-crazyhorse leather reviews of the Belemay from last years 15 pro max and it was pretty positive. The crazy horse leather ones not so much, but I wouldn't want that kind of leather anyway as it stains clothes easily.
I could just be patient and wait but I need something for next Friday. I don't want to use the Andar and risk not being able to return it. Only way I keep that one is if the CC button is awful to use with an oval cutout.
Noooooo🤢
