iPhone 16/Plus/Pro/Pro Max cases [MERGED]

[Chateaunole-du-Pape]

Been rocking the Lake Green sili with the orange Apple wallet combo since Friday on my black titanium 16 Pro. While I love the sili in most every way, the thing digs into my pinky still. Not sure why Apple can’t smooth out the cutout.

You mean the cutout for the charging port? I have the same issue... It's right where I rest my pinkie to support the phone.

I might try to file the opening down a bit to make the edge slightly beveled. Probably won't work but it might be worth a shot. Never had that issue with the 14 Pro leather case from Apple.

Looks very nice. How does the leather feel?

Feels good, a little slippery but I'm guessing it'll get better in time from the oils of my hand, buttons are clicky just like apple leather cases, so far I love it...if you're interested order it from amazon they have a $10 coupon.

Looks great but the cut out for the camera control looks like Mujjos- not chamfered so possibly making it difficult to use other than for a button?

Yeah it's a little hard to press but I honestly don't care about it, will barely be using it...

Yep, this has been the issue for me with the silicone case for years. Not sure why Apple doesn't change this. My guess is they think most people dont hold it this way, but I can't find another way to hold it.

I am with you, the Apple leather cases were way more comfortable to hold. I thought going from the 14PM to the 16P would help and not be so much weight on the pink, but no such luck. Still enjoying everything else about the silicone.

No issues at all. Works perfectly.

Cool, I have the Eclipse Black coming

Man, do I miss my orange wallet ever since my daughter confiscated it a year or so ago
Tried to purchase another one with no luck at all.

I have been using the Supcase Unicorn with the capacitive button. I like the design of the case and the fact that it covers the entire phone.

Buttons are firm and have a nice feel. Not slotted, so again, keeping out the dust and dirt. In my opinion, the Photo button works well. To be honest, I didn’t try using the button before putting the case on, but it worked fine for me. If anything, having the button right now is almost a deterrence, as each time I pick up my phone, I hit the button. I need to see how that compares to one that has an opening - like the Benks that I also have or my ESR.

The openings are asymmetrical, which I hate. Make an effort on that like you did the photo button. It's small, but come on. It’s also style.

The magnets - holy crap! I always thought my Phone Rebel had the strongest, but these are insanely strong! Each time I take it off my car mount, it moves the bracket, which no other case has done.

The biggest detractor is the slippery sides. It’s a smooth TPU, but there is no grip. The sides are straight with no slight bulge to keep it slimmer. Even if a coating of silicon was on there, it might make it better, but for one who never drops his phone, it has slipped out of mine three times in three days.

One last point—the lanyard holes. They're just not for me on a case like this, and I really am unsure why so many brands are adding them. I do not see people adding lanyards to phones so often that these are called for.

Oh noooo! Dang, this was one of the better colors Apple did with the leather. So not luck on Woot? Sorry assuming your are in the US.

If anything, having the button right now is almost a inference as each time I pick up my phone, I hit the button.

In Settings>Camera>Camera Control, setting Launch Camera to Double-click solves this.

i wonder how's the leather compared to RL/BS/Andar and so on. Should be the same, the say on their website that's "full grain leather"

Good choice. Post some pics, when you get it! 👍

After handling the ESR with Stand for a few days, it feels too heavy and a little thick for my liking. This Pitaka case might be my keeper and just ordered it in black. Looks more minimalist than the blues that I was also interested in.

I do wonder how durable the Pitaka cases are long term. I don't plan to drop my phone but just from normal use I wonder how firm those edges around every button will be.

Yes I agree I prefer the black over the colored ones. Just looks cleaner in my opinion and more premium.

This is my first time with this case but from reviews I’ve seen they are very solid cases and don’t loosen over time or anything. A lot of buyers are return buyers for years which is great.

I’m loving this form factor, I’m not the type that needs a heavy duty protection case and prefer minimal.

So here’s the only two things I wish were a bit different, this year they decided to make the camera ring silver (it used to be black) I’d prefer black. Camera ring also feels very sharp not sure how previous years were, it doesn’t bother me but just something to know.

Also the Pitaka branding on the bottom is cool and all but I prefer minimal branding. So those are the two only things I’d change otherwise I love it.

So I ordered a Benks Armor Air which solves those two issues (Black camera ring and more minimal branding) it’s virtually the same case and cost me $15 less than the Pitaka with a 15% coupon on the Benks from [mention]TechnicallyTee [/mention] .

Looking forward to receiving that and it’ll replace my Pitaka if it feels identical in quality.

I don’t know if this was the reason for changing the camera ring from black to silver, but the black camera ring on my Pitaka Pro scratched through to the silver metal underneath very easily, even with the raised protective TPU rim.

Very nice case with texture and a layered 3d look on the graphics. Its not simply printed.

Interesting, that could be the reason. I mean the silver doesn’t look bad at all I would just prefer black but if it’s for better wear and tear then makes sense.

Wow! Wish I knew! I ordered it last night and already got a shipped notification from them this morning and not sure how their customer service is and if they would even honor that. I’m used to dealing with Caudabe only lol (which I’m sure they would honor that)

 

[HouseofG]

Sure is my friend, love that app

And, wait, what watch face is that? Or is it specific to Ultra?

 

[HL Tech]

Thanks for posting this, just canceled my order.

I wish I would have known before I ordered and got mine. The magnet was impressive. Case is super slick though. Hard to get the stand out without much fingernails. Was excited to give it a go.

 

[Hooterville]

Damn, everyone over here with the black ultra, I'm going to have to get the black Sharpie out for mine
