Really eager to use this Lumen case. T-Mobile has printed my UPS label but UPS still doesn’t have my package. I’m glad I’m poor (upgraded through T-Mobile for cheap) so I can’t buy 53 cases haha. I’m living vicariously through you all and crossing my fingers that more brands incorporate a camera button cover as time goes on.

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.
Im so glad i ordered Black and Blue Sheath this year.

Grey from last year became boring after a month or so.

Them Desert Ti camera rings will pop out really sweet with black Sheath.
 
My spigen hybrid T series will be delivered today. Will take some pictures later
Excellent. I was a later order, so I'm looking at October 2-18 (?) still. Certainly better than Amazon's current estimate of November 8-10 for new orders (Black Frost)!
 
Anyone know a leather case out there close to forest green?

[mention]Djones96 [/mention] the SUPCASE cases with the capture button buttons were a fail. Returned them both. They were too bulky for my liking and crystal clear cases just aren’t for me.

I also cancelled the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T MagFit, it was still out of stock and never shipped. No clear case for me at all.

Sheath and Synthesis due to arrive tomorrow for me.

I ordered Lake Green and Ultramarine Apple silicone from Amazon from its current sale. I already have Stone Gray and I do like that color. They’re not due to arrive until mid to late October.

I’ll see them in the Apple Store this weekend and if I don’t like them I’ll just cancel the order just didn’t want to miss the sale just in case I do like them.

Very, very pretty, but $70? Oofer.
Won't stop me from making that my, basically 3 year, case if they add a button cover (or we decide it's not necessary) given how long I'd rely on it. Plus I don't buy multiple cases, so there's that haha.

I'd say you get what you pay for but the phone case world seems to defy that old saw, in both directions!

I’m curious how the Camera Control button covers from other manufacturers perform compared to the same on the Apple cases, so I ordered this Supcase to test. I’ll report back here once I‘ve had a chance to compare it to the Apple Silicone button cover.

I just returned this case. I just didn’t like how bulky it is also not a fan of crystal clear cases but definitely looking forward to you reporting back about how the camera control performs on it.

The button felt ever so slightly rough on the inside on the Supcase UB Grip I ordered, I couldn't trust it and inner side of pc frosted back marked very easily.

Yeah, I don’t expect it to be my everyday case, I’m mostly just curious about the button functionality.

That sucks those SUPCASE cases didn’t work, I thought they looked decent from the images.

Still no word on the spigen ultra hybrid T for me either so I’m thinking about canceling it as well. Even though the case looks great, I feel like there’s no point in waiting who knows how long for a generic frosted case.

The sheath and synthesis in black look great this year so I’m sure I’ll order one soon.

The ultramarine and lake green were actually the two colors I was interested in, so you’ll have to let me know how they are.

That looks incredible! Have you had experience with Bandwerk before?
Yes, I have. I had two cases from them for the 15PM, the black one and the shocking orange one.
While their quality is top notch the two 15PM cases did not thrill me that much. The black TPU sides were way too soft and I ended up selling the cases off without even using them. Looks like they made some decent changes to the 16 pro cases and I'm a sucker for that bright orange. I'll post some pics and thoughts once I receive the case.

Also, keep in mind that these cases ship from Germany and take quite awhile to arrive.

Here's a pic of the shocking orange on my 15PM:

Ordered the shocking orange as well the other day for 16PM. I loathe soft sides though, so now I'm nervous. Did they change the material or something for the 16 series?

Nice! Keep us posted on what you think. The orange looks awesome.

Not really sure but they changed that metal camera ring which I did not like and hopefully they firmed up the TPU sides. Won't really know until we receive the cases.

Just got the Torras 360 Spin case in grey and I’m undecided about it after really liking it in pictures. In reality I don’t think it’s as nice - and it’s VERY slippery as there doesn’t seem to be any texture at all on the sides, just smooth plastic. Not sure how it’s “military grade” tbh but it’s a lot of money for what it is in my opinion.

Has anyone received an Otterbox Lumen and have photos? What do you think of it and does it have any grip?

Thank you
