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

“Military Grade” is typically 4’, which isn’t much more than a bare phone. It’s more of a marketing term than a useful indication of the protection level of a case.
I picked up a Native Union (Re)Classic Case for the 16 Pro Max. (Blue)
It's nice they finally have blue and also physical metal buttons, as last year they just had bumps for buttons. Feels like it's good quality.
Other cases seem to have a slight indent/slope around the hole for the camera button, which this does not have. I think it may make it hard to use.

I also need this to go with my new black phone but I'm running out of 60 dollar bills 
Darn, I think they got rid of the orange buttons. This one is going top of my list so I look forward to hearing your impressions.
I contacted Mous about my Clarity 3.0 being scratched out the box. They were very kind and are sending me a new one. They didn't SAY anything about sending mine back though, so...
I’m really impressed with the Sheath.
The buttons are awesome and the backplate feels more rigid than last year’s, looking like they revised it a bit to avoid the dreaded MagSafe indentation.
The camera control cutout is very comfortable on the finger and doesn’t look intrusive at all.
Caudabe did a great job on this new Sheath. This is my wife’s case, she’s black Sheath every year lol. Got me really considering coming back to Sheath.
On to my Synthesis now….

Did anyone receive their Otterbox Lumen in green today and willing to post some pictures? What is your thoughts on it and are the sides grippy or smooth plastic?
Thanks

Ok I think I’m leaning more towards the Sheath this year.
New buttons are nice as well on Synthesis.
It has the smoother finish like Sheath’s finish around the front lip (15 series had textured finish on the front lip) I do like this more than last year’s.
Interior design is a bit different, looks more reinforced and a nicer branding placement. I like it more than last year’s as well.
The case is a bit thicker, that I don’t like. It’s feeling a bit bulky to me now. Some people won’t mind that but I don’t care for too bulky cases.
Camera control cutout is well done like on Sheath.
It’s got a very little hump on the bottom of the case across the bottom (15 had little humps on each bottom corners) I like this design more.
The lip is higher than last year’s makes the phone feel like it sits deeper in the case, great for screen protection, nice little touch.
The backplate looks like it’ll scratch very easily, it’s got more of a matte finish than last year’s which looks like it’ll scratch easier. It came with scratches already out the box.
Even with the nice little touches, the bulkier feel and easy to scratch back plate are major downfalls for me. I think the Sheath wins for me this year.

Thanks. Would appreciate a follow up once you’ve tried it on a phone. Curious about the buttons, but especially about the cutout.I’m really impressed with the Sheath.

Definitely will follow up

I've had Spigen on my last few phones, but I don't feel like they're competitive at the prices they're charging anymore. I have a few friends who have been very satisfied with their dbrand cases, so I ordered a Grip with a couple of skins. I do worry it's going to be a little bit big for me, but I've accepted that I'm harsh enough on my phones that I need the extra protection.
No tracking?Very Nice !

Otterbox Lumen & Figura
The lumen has some nice grip and rigidity over the Figura. The strip of plastic/silicone they left on the Figura’s camera button is very loose and dont see it holding up well.

Yea, I got tracking but no deliveries yet.
Man, that case sure looks orange in Caudabe's latest picture, can only pray for orange

Looks slick as expected, I know it’s basically the same case I have on my outgoing iPhone but it’s such a good and nice looking case, I don’t regret it at all. Cool to hear the MagSafe issue looks a lot better too. Mine will arrive next week some time.
Thanks for posting these. I thought the Figura has a capture button cover.
