I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T coming and I think that might be the best case out that has a CC cover. I will know better in the coming days once it arrives and can compare it to the Supcase. I have the Ringke Fusion-X coming tomorrow, but it will not have the CC cover. Outside of these... it is an Apple case or the Otterbox Lumen - which is not getting great reviews on looks and durability (the belief it won't take much punishment based on build quality)
But the freaking corner nipples would drive me nuts. Those dont cut it for me, it should be smooth on the back.

Not sure if this is anyone's style but got all the Aulumu cases in today.

I got the nomad rugged case, and I imagine the button issue is even worse. The lip is larger so the button is even more recessed. It’s an absolute pain to use the button. I hope Nomad updates its lineup by the new year.

I’m not a fan of the apple silicone, but it’s the only option until third parties adapt.
The Apple Silicon case isn’t the only option right now. There are a few others that have the camera controls button cover like the Beats case and the clear Spigen Ultra Hybrid T. I think the Supcase is another one.

Does that button ever inadvertently get pressed by your palm when gripping the phone? Sure as hell looks like it would in some of these cases with the bigger cutouts.
As much hate as the cases with cutouts get around here, I actually like the CC button being recessed like that. It makes it harder to accidentally press it, but if the cutout is done correctly you can still use it as intended. I feel like a protruding button on the case will make it more likely to accidentally hit it when grabbing/holding the phone.

I'm using the Speck Presidio2 Grip and really like the CC cutout on it. I've had no accidental button pushes so far, and it also provides a little "lip" to grip with my fingers when I pull the camera out of my pocket.

I might have to explore this option. My other half is after not too tacky clear case to show off that Desert Ti.
Very very thin also. Actually pretty good. I’ll push that video review up because It seems like a good case. Might rock it for a few days and then report back.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid T with the camera control button works flawlessly! Works just like the Apple cases.

Supcase not so much. It works just not as good.

The ball is in all these other case companies court.
Does it have more grip than the Torras and / or Apple Clear?

Thank you very much for the prompt reply!! Are you planning to do a youtube review video for this case?
O yeah 100%. I have to go back in my email because I think they told me the aramid case they sent me was an early sample and there has been some refinements. I’ll double back and check.

I'm pacing over here waiting for UPS which is always so late out here in the woods.

Got in my Synthesis in black and a $15. ESR case that is actually really good and comes with a screen protector and interchangeable buttons.

This beater $15. ESR kit is really nice:
Does the camera cut outs align off centered for yours?

Honestly what’s the big deal with having the camera control area exposed? Even if you drop your phone it won’t land exactly on that one spot. You are dropping it into a sea of knives

All I have so far is the Lake Green Apple case for my Desert 16 Pro Max.

I've enjoyed it when I've had it on the phone, Camera Control is nice with the case but overall I find it VERY finicky so far, so I'm not sure if I'm sold on it yet.

I do miss my Benks Armor Air a lot though, but I don't wanna order it right away.
