Yeah the buttons on the Mous Clarity 3.0 feel terrible with absolutely no travel. It's pretty trash.

Caudabe, please send me a gray sheath as soon as possible. I need it.

I got the same case. My first Pitaka. But I didn't know the edge on the metal ring around the camera was a little sharp. Worried it will scratch stuff I set it on with the camera ring down.

You had Pitaka cases in the past? If so, were they as sharp as this case is? Curious if it will indeed scratch things or do you just set the phone face down?

My Synthesis will be here tomorrow or Monday. Currently have a Flo Lab clear case on. Was cheap at like $23. Buttons feel great and grip is pretty good. Weak magnets and the clear back kill it though. Knew it was temporary for free shipping $

Is the bottom part by the speaker grill hard plastic? Wondering if it digs into your pinky when resting the phone in one hand.

And how does the button cutout feel? I don’t have much confidence in any of these cutouts.
Yes the top and bottom are like that but I literally didnt even notice until reading your post. It doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, its a really good case especially for half the cost of bullstrap. The cut-out is as good as it can be. I notice the button every single time I pick up the phone. Every case will be like that. I have the Beats case as well and I like it more than I thought I would, the problem is I still notice the button even though its flush and the case is a huge finger print magnet. Bullstrap will be here in a few days, ill post pictures but I will probably return it in favor of the bellroy.

Seems like people think they used a less porous silicone this year that feels less gross in the hand… ordered one and will see. They’re on sale for $42 at some places still like Best Buy

Since I'm only interested in leather cases for now I've moved over to the Patina Proud thread. Over there I posted a few pics of the leather Rumwot. It is pretty close to the 13PM Apple leather case.

Please help me choose one more apple silicone for my Desert Ti

Ultramarine, plum or denim?
I would personally choose Denim but I get the appeal of Ultramarine.

I saw them all in Apple Store today and Ultramarine is definitely high on the saturation it is a very nice color but personally I like toned down colors more.

I had an Ultramarine on order from Amazon’s sale but cancelled it and ordered Denim from Best Buy’s sale to add to my Stone Gray which I love but again that’s another very neutral low key color.

Out those 3 choices you’re debating you can’t go wrong with any of them with Desert Ti.

After using the Speck Presidio Grip 2 for a half day, I have a few thoughts:

1) Grip is good and it's a very protective case.

2) Fit is perfect, fits flawlessly with screen protector installed.

3) Camera Control cutout is shaped well and leaves the button easy to use.

4) Related to #3, I think I actually like the cutout as opposed to a protruding button on the case. It protects the Camera Control button from being accidentally pushed while still leaving it easy to use, and it also creates a handy little notch for my finger to grab when pulling the phone out of my pocket. I set the Camera Control button to double-click to open, which should keep it from being accidentally triggered when I inevitably touch it.

View attachment 2424055 View attachment 2424057 View attachment 2424058 I'm having the Torras Screen protector and Torras case on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. The case feels sturdy and durable. It has raised edges around the cameras to help protect the lenses. You can use the ring as a stand in horizontal or vertical position because you can spin it. Also, gives some extra grip when being hand held, kinda similar to a popsocket. The only downside is the camera cutout. It's a little bit too deep. Overall, great case, great screen protector and would recommend.

That Torras SP has a black border? Looks like from the pic it's completely ruining the look of the thinner bezels. Would have expected better edge to edge.

Got my Apple Silicone Case and phone today. I must say, this is the best the Silicone case has ever felt. It feels much different to me this year and seems to have a better texture to it. Helped that T-Mobile gave a 30% off coupon!
I actually feel the same. I hated silicone cases always because the ones I got before from Apple where really slippery to my fingers. But the ones for the 16 are not as slippery as I remember them to be.

Would still prefer leather. 😂

Ha! I’m supposed to be on a case diet this year.

You’ll like the Stone Gray. I have the gray and the black and can’t decide which I like better.
You and I both lol.

I saw your post about the black one and that does look very good! Can't wait to get the Stone Gray in.

Sooo one little question: there is still no news on a leather case that has this camera button covered right? Guess I have to wait a bit until I ask that again lol

I find it ok to be honest. Obviously the case doesn’t sit completely flush with the phone, but I’ve had no problems operating the capture button.

It’s not as easy as it would be if the case had one of those complete cutouts like some do, but personally I find them to be an eyesore.

I guess it comes down to which trade off you’re willing to accept :)

Yes the complete cutout does not look good and seems to collect more dust.

The Apple silicone case collects too much dust currently but the button is easy to use. Even easier than without the case.
