Amazon has the official Apple 16 cases for $41.99 for Limited time sale.

16 Pro: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPhone-Silicone-MagSafe-Control/dp/B0DGHLFC4M
16: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPhone-Silicone-MagSafe-Control/dp/B0DGHBV93Q

I decided to purchase one because the official case should work seamlessly with the new camera control function. Worth buying until other companies figure out the button themselves.

Legit! Thanks for the heads up. Better than the VeteranEPP pricing.

Interesting that Denim isn't part of that - but all other colors.

It was yesterday. Shipping dates slipped all the way into mid to late November for Denim. I guess that’s why it’s no longer being offered as demand is just too high for that color.

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.

Did you order the Spigen case with the covered button, or you mean you ordered one of the styles without a covered button? They have both

Well what people don’t know is that even though it’s a cutouts, companies spent a lot of time designing the cutout to be as comfortable as possibly. One brand told me they went through 15 or more revisions of the cutout but they perfected it. So it will be curious to see how they all are once we get the phone.

I see my bank account taking a hit on trying different leather cases designs this year.... Looking forward to your review videos!

I've settled in on the Rebel Air (coming 10/15) and the Caudabe Synthesis. I have a third (cheap) case to hold me until the others get here, but I may send it back unopened. I spend way too much on cases... and then end up loving one of the many. Happens every year.

Silicone Apple cases have always gotten complaints for lint and peeling so I’m not enticed to get one. I’ll save my money I guess and stick to an ESR clear case or the Spigen with the covered button.

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.

I’m so glad I’ve been using the Phone Rebel Flex series since day one! Fastest they’ve been released ever… and still 3 weeks late hahaha!

Do cases that cover the camera control feel like the cover depresses to accommodate the button depressing? I was wondering if case manufacturers expected a button that moves or purely a capacitive touch button like the old home button.

My Otterbox Lumen seems to depress very slightly.

I’m thinking about getting these three to go together, has anyone looked at these before and know if they’re ok quality?

I was curious why people would choose the Spigen Hybrid T over the OEM Apple clear case, but I noticed that the Spigen covers the bottom as well.

So I'm wondering if Apple's design might leave the bottom exposed to help with heat dissipation on the plastic hard cases.

Is the bottom of the case closed? I can't help but wonder about heat retention here... but yeah, it does look sweet. $265 though... ouch.
Click to expand...
Yeah it looks enclosed. They have titanium/alumium back plate and plastic / TPU sides

There are also complete polycarbonate / plastic versions which are MagSafe compatible.

$265 is in Australian dollars. It’s US$180 on the US site.

The glass is good, I've used it on my past 3 iPhones and it's been perfect. The case is also good but I would pass on the camera protectors.

You mean not bother with camera protectors or just those camera protectors?

My only thought is where the cut out for the camera button is there’s an exposed edge and I will end up dropping the phone on that bit

And the Spigen comes in frosted black. I'm in the anti-clear camp.
