Pulled the trigger on this one. Not cheap but love the design.

For anyone wondering, this is what the spigen ultra hybrid looks like. I like the design, just wish they’d put a cover over the capture button

Are there any leather wallets that have the same Find My and MagSafe as Apple's did? My Apple MagSafe wallet is wearing out bad and I heard FineWoven isn't pleasant.

Did you consider getting the Spigen case that does have a Capture button cover? Looks a little bulky for me but there's a few of this one with their button cover:
Should pay more attention!

Has anyone got a UK link for this?

I’m considering going caseless and just having a screen protector!

Yep, I agree. I’m about to swear off clear cases. I ordered a Caudabe sheath, and I’m much more excited about that. I’m hoping Mous lets me return this though.
Mous offered me a replacement, but ignored my demand for a refund. I have mailed them again. I don't need more scratchy cases. I'm just not going to pay 60 EUR for a product I don't trust.

Hope Caudabe is not selling something they don't have :confused:
Several of the Caudate cases say they ship in late Sep. or in Oct., whether that's because they sold out of launch supply or aren't ready yet.

And you may know but: Many case makers take orders before the product arrives, as they don't receive official specs from Apple and have to wait for reliable supplier leaks/rumors/CAD files. Very few companies receive information from Apple to help them design cases before launch, and to survive, many of them have no real choice but to have cases ship late.

It seems like Otterbox, and possibly Spigen, get at least some pre-release guidance from Apple. Others are on their own for sure. In my experience, it’s prudent to order either a cheap case or an official Apple case early on, then only consider premium third-party cases once they’ve had time to clean up any design flaws, particularly on a year when a new button is introduced. Just my opinion, some will differ which is fine of course. 😊

If they don't refund you I'd file a credit card chargeback

Sadly, the closed-bottom Ryan London case isn't as good of quality as the open-bottom one. The open-bottom RL has been my favorite leather case I've tried along with the LuckyCoin.
Just curious, what's the difference is quality between the Ryan London open-bottom and closed-bottom cases?

To me, the leather open-bottom case just feels much more supple and premium than the closed-bottom. the closed-bottom one almost felt like it had some sort of weird coating on it that made the case feel much dryer. I also prefer the leather-wrapped camera bump vs the metal camera ring.

I’ve gone for a Pitaka again this year. This case will be for my Desert 16 PM.
Pretty case! I’m curious, since there is virtually no lip, do you lay your phone face down directly on the screen/screen protector, or do you always lay the phone down on its back? Just curious how I might use a case like this. Thanks…

Has anyone ever owned a Carved iPhone case? Some really unique designs there but I've never heard of them (Facebook seems to know that I'm shopping for cases, ugh...).

iPhone 16 Pro Live Edge Wood Phone Cases by Carved

They also have TPU edge cases:

I have had several carved cases in the past-- all of them of the traveller type not live edge. They are heavier than normal polycarbonate/silicone/plastic cases due to the wood/resin. However, you will have a one of one case!
