I was looking at their camera covers, I suspect they may fall off quite easily too.
My iPhone 14 Pro I used an otterbox case and a jettech camera cover and I’m wondering if it would fit again.
i have this case for my 15pm and used it for several months. its a nice case with great camera protection.

I actually measured the black border on mine (another protector) and seemed to match what Apple say the borders will be, so hoping that's fine.
Wondering how “Case Friendly” these new screen protectors will be with the new thin borders of the phone?
Definitely true about the Beats case but I feel like at least a third of the posts in this thread are about the Apple Silicone case. That one seems to be quite popular, at the very least as a CC button cover fallback until there are more third party options.
would love the Apple silicone case if only it wasn’t a dirt magnet
No I imagine it’s the same as the Apple cases that the sensor works through the case
Okay, heard back from Bellroy. They were a little unclear as to whether they were considering adding it as a button, but they said that they 'have put a lot of thought into the size and shape of the cut-out to make sure you can fully access the button'.
Thanks for the update. I imagine anyone currently trying to sell cases without a CC button cover has to be a bit obtuse about this so as not to cannibalize current sales.
Thanks for checking @space220
Last year, I had the same hangup with Andar. They e-mailed me pretty strongly and curtly: No, we're not putting a button on the Action button. (still have the e-mails). Then about 2 weeks later, after I had already processed and sent my case for a refund, they turn around and put a covered action button on. I liked that Andar case and had I not been a little salty from that customer service episode, I probably would've had an Andar Aspen in my rotation.
We'll probably see some casemakers go back once phones are in hand. I'm sure they have Apple Silicon cases and are trying to replicate that button for feasibility.
I ordered the Spigen clear MagSafe case, but I am going to return it and I've just ordered the Apple Clear case. I think the cutout for the camera control will be annoying so much rather just pay a premium for something that (should) work how it's intended. I'd love to go cashless but honestly I don't trust myself putting it down in the gym etc.
I’ve got tons of intel from different brands and this situation is being handled much differently than the action button. Much more complicated than the action button but curious to see how the cases that have the button works. After conversation with 3 major case brands, I can kinda understand the reasoning behind making the cutout right now. Majority of brands aren’t going to have a button and for someone like Spigen, they have like one case with the button because everyone is up in the air until the phone gets in hand.
Have any indicated that they're working on adding button covers, like some brands did for the Action Button? Or is it going to be cutouts as far as the eye can see this year?
Great guy. I really like his case review stuff.
I caved in now and also ordered 2 Apple cases.... man I wish so badly they still would have leather cases. :/
There has been some that “might” make updates but honestly I think this go around we are going to have to deal with the cutout. Companies weren’t sure if the button was going to work, if they did then someone like Spigen would’ve had the button on all their cases instead of one.
Have to think about it that way from a business standpoint. Can’t take the risk and the button not work the way it’s intended and have dead inventory. This is nothing like the action button. They were thinking is going to be capacitive only, not an actually button also. Little more tricky. Might make a follow up video talking about all of this.
It would be interesting to see sales figure for the Apple Silicone this year compared to years past. I bet some of the third-party manufacturers will eventually be motivated to update their cases due to poor sales.
Man I wish I could do a voice chat room to talk about this because it’s such an interesting convo. Yeah it’s going to be interesting and I think people will back down a little once they get the phone in hand because I don’t think it’s going to be that bad.
