I think you did the right thing by not naming the companies. For your own relationship with them as well as their own handling of customer feedback which I agree, would be nothing less than bombardment. Also, we as customers never want false promises - so it’s better not to know IMO. I appreciate your videos.
It's common sense...Thanks I appreciate that man.

Honestly all the people who work behind these companies making cases are also just humans and trying their best to make the customer happy. No one did know what to do exactly with that camera button and I guess most of them where not expecting that much of a hate because of the... hole.

Anyone have the purple beats case they can post pictures of? In some of Apples photos it looks really light, but it looks dark in a few of the images on the beats site.. Just trying to figure out how it looks IRL. View attachment 2420653 View attachment 2420654

And it's literally impossible to make everyone happy. I just wish people knew what goes on behind the scenes and how much time are put into these cases to try to make them the best they can off the schematics they are provided. I free like people complain wayyyyyyy too much and are too entitled. If you don't like the case, then don't buy it, that's the beauty of iPhones cases, there are thousands out there to choose from. Get mad at Apple for adding yet another button that not many asked for.

Apple silicone lake green came in. First time with one of these cases, feels nice and honestly the color is really great. We'll see how long it holds up, still hoping Caudabe puts a cover on the camera control at some point.

Just got two cases for my iPhone 16 Pro Max: the SUPCASE UB Grip and i-Blason Armorbox. Both look solid and have a handy camera control button. Can’t wait to test them out when my new phone arrives this Friday! I’ll keep y’all posted.

Anyone here have this case from ESR yet? I tried searching this thread but couldn't find much. If you could you please post pictures, thanks.

Does anyone have the Golden Tide from Benks? Is it the same quality as Pitaka?

I’m in Australia and the price on checkout USD$42 for a iPhone 16PM version which includes a 20% off voucher. Is the price about right?

Got my Lake Green and Plum cases in today. Really like them both a lot. My wife says the Lake Green looks better, especially with the Apple leather wallet in orange. I tend to lean the Plum, but purple is my favorite color (so hard to part ways with my deep purple 14PM). I think she may be right, but I may need to keep both. Just in case, I need it .

I do really think the orange wallet looks great with both. Especially digging the wallet with the pro. Looks better than on the max. Been a minute since I have had the pro.

RIP Apple leather cases. I am going to really miss my Ink leather case.

For a second there I thought your Apple cases had a cutout!

Those are my top two picks as well... But my wife gets priority, and she's picked the Lake Green for herself, so I'm doing the Plum. There's an outside chance I'll play it safe and go with Denim - I wear blue probably 80% of the time so it's the natural choice, but something about the Plum is really appealing to me, and it'd be fun to be different. And hey, I do have some dress shirts with plum tones in them, as well as a very nice check sportcoat in a few different shades of plum, so I guess it wouldn't be that out of character for me.

Haha I feel ya. I don’t think you can go wrong with the Plum. It looks really good. I think you can make it look good with your work attire as well. What color iPhone did you get?

Ordered some random Amazon leather cases. And I threw in a comparison between the black andar and red amazon case.
