Not a fan of how the Pitaka ultra slim looks now with the double cutout for the capture button…
Got a tip for us?

I had this one (the pitaka above) for my 15PM. I have liked it but was hoping they would come out with some new designs on the back. Looks like they only have a 7 day return period, guess I’ll see if Apple comes out with something better than the fine woven this year.
I had both of the StarPeak designs for the 15PM and loved them.
I think they might release new designs a few months after the new phones are released. They did this last time with the 15PM - Used old designs at release, and update them with new ones a few months later.
guess I’ll have to wait until next Monday to see if I should return my Benks ArmorPro. The new button is a cutout right now.
Pic is with my 15PM inside. Wouldn’t mind floating buttons b/c these slit-cut buttons, too. I’m liking Pitaka Military grade b/c of that. Edit - guess I can’t tell if the capture button is an open hole on the Pitaka as well, though. Dang!

Wonder if Caudabe added a Capture button after missing the boat on the Action button early on last time. Can imagine plenty of face palms there if they did it again.
Not gunna lie, my usual fave Benks ArmorPro & Mist don't have a button and it's a little irking knowing that a capacitive button IS possible and these two don't have one (maybe they'll update design later).
It may well be that it works better without and I'll try both but I'd rather not have a non-protectiive hole if there are better options.

As a person who loves Caudabe cases but did not move up to the iPhone 15, how did Caudabe handle that mishap?
I take it they recalled and replaced those cases for their customers, correct?
IIRC, they let people order without the action button and then gave them an action button version FOC?
Caudabe did not handle this problem well because they made their customers pay return shipping.
FWIW "A2711" corresponds to a 13 Pro clear case, as is the "MM" identifier. Not legit.
Andar are ready it seems…
And it shows that the regular models also get the capture button…

This just arrived from AliExpress. Amazing quality for the price.
How much was it?
The capture button is capacitive… as in, no manufacturer can actually cover it with a separate button on a case without rendering it useless.
Apple's iPhone 16 case covers the new Capture Button, Spigen follows suit
Accessory maker Spigen gave AppleInsider an early look at its new case for iPhone 16, highlighting the new Capture button with a special cover to support its touch functionality.

New capture button on cases is going to be a huge cluster uck 
Yup. I think I’ll just order an Apple case to start and sit back with a tub of popcorn until things settle down.
They can still smash if you drop them and I’ve seen it happen a few times in the last couple of years. Tough if dropped on a table top, but not so tough when dropped on a road from 300-400mm.
So I guess it depends on one's frame of reference. If I get on a motorcycle, I don't consider it "kludging up" my head to put on a helmet. When I get in a kayak I don't consider it "kludging up" my body to put on a life jacket. When I get in a car I don't consider it "kludging up" to put on a seat belt and having air bags all around me. When I use power tools I don't consider it "kludging up" my face to wear safety glasses. I may never (hopefully!) need them to protect me by serving their intended purpose, but I'm sure glad they're there just in case.
To me, a case serves a specific need on my phone and there's no way I'd go without one. I don't consider it a "kludge", I consider it protective gear just like all those aforementioned things.
They’re in for a treat if it’s a Force Touch button 😂
