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?
I went with Natural Titanium. Thought about the black as I do think it looks good with Plum, but I don't wear black anything. Haven't had a pair of black dress pants or black dress shoes in over a decade. I love black cats, and appreciate black cars (when they're clean and waxed, which mine never was, so it's been over a decade since I have had one of those, too), but I just don't wear black. I know that shouldn't really dictate the color of my phone, but here we are.

My wife chose the Desert, and based on photos I have seen, I actually think it's the best color, but the back glass and camera surround have a little bit too much of a pink hue for me to want to actually have one myself. (Then again, I just laid out a pink dress shirt to wear tomorrow, so I certainly don't mind the color.) I'm actually doing in-store pickup on Friday, so if I get there and decide I prefer something different when I see them all in person, maybe I'll ask them to swap it out. I suppose it really doesn't matter. It's going to live in a case all the time anyways.

I like your orange wallet with both cases, though somehow it makes the Lake Green case look a bit more blue, which is not a bad thing at all. What color phone have you chosen?

I’ve spent money on more useless things lol
Haven't we all? But it bleeds in your shirt or pants. Had it happened to me the dye never come out. I worked with textiles and have formal schooling. studied that if it's not processed in a useful way, these are just disasters. Good Luck

Wow you have really thought of everything! I don’t think you can go wrong with your setup, and the natural titanium isn’t always a good choice.

Isn’t the orange awesome? So I have the black iPhone. I don’t really like most lighter colors that much, so I thought go back to the always solid black titanium.

The black is a good choice. I might well want to switch to it when I see it in person. We shall see!

Ooh me and a couple of people in this thread have been looking at Bellroy for cases - what do you think of it? How is the cutout?

Leather feels super nice. Can see the grain in it. I don’t think the cutout will be an issue will try it out when my phone arrives tomorrow I had the nomad leather case for my 15 Pro. That case was heavy and the bottom was chunky. This is perfect.

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.
Does the SUPCASE have a belt clip?

Where'd you purchase this? At a Brick/Mortar store? I know it's nice to have something in hand prior to phone arrival - but they are available from Bellroy and Amazon for $59. Just trying to save you some $$.

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.

Good choices. These are my two choices for silicone case too. Writing this makes me realise that I also used to have leather cases before with these 2 colors... guess my taste didn't change. 😂

Hi Mate. I’m from Australia and we have a Tech store chain called JB Hi-Fi. I got it from there because I wanted to see how it was before purchasing. Otherwise it’s available on their website. Doubt they will be on any sales as they just released these.

Hahaha nope we know what we like right? Silicone isn’t the same, but it’s the closest we can get to the thinness of the Apple leather case.

I received my Sheath and Synthesis and I am absolutely amazed how good they Feel.
I love the new buttons. And the Camera Cutout Control is ok. I wish they implement it the apple way. But it could me much worse (Mouse).

I have no Idea which one I will try first when my phone arrives.

My fault as well - I should've been more clear about US Dollars. It was a very 🇺🇸 presumption on my part when I saw the "$". My apologies.

The Bellroy looks brilliant and it's at the top of my leather choices right now. I'm just waiting to see how the CC button works out (hole or covered). Cheers! Enjoy your unboxing soon.

It’s all good cheers buddy. Will update you soon! Since we are in Aus we get phones pretty early too!
