Does the 16 Pro silicone case feel any different than the 15 Pro version?
Yes, to me it does…less powdery or fuzzy. Today’s my first full day with it, and it seems easier to remove or pocket in my jeans pockets, especially front. I only got the Denim, and it’s a keeper for me. They’re still $42 for most colors on Amazon (US)…I keep thinking about getting another.
Supcase claimed that the copper rods used in the CC button on their case will not scratch the button on the iPhone.
Saw the the Apple Silicons at the Apple store in NYC today. I was surprised every color I thought I would like, I didn't, and vice versa. I cancelled the Denim and will wait for the Ultramarine. I thought it would be very "saturated" but it isn't. It seems much more dull in person. Maybe sunlight will change that though.
Anyone know how the Pitaka ultra slim compares to the Apple silicone in terms of size and weight? I've always been caseless so I want to be as minimal as possible. And if there's no cover the camera control, isn't that the most precise with your finger or does the silicone cover still give 1:1 performance? I don't see no cc cover as a con unless the sides of the case protrude too much that you have to dig your finger just to use it.

This convinced me to walk to the Apple Store and buy one today. I am blown away by the quality, the colors are also really fun (had a hard time choosing honestly…), and most importantly, the buttons CLICK! I do admit the bottom being open could be a dealbreaker for some, but it’s really tightly wrapped. We’ll see how that holds up, I feel like it’s the easiest point of failure. Also the magnet is insanely strong for some reason.
Same here. Be safe!Sitting over here in Florida waiting on a nice FAT Hurricane
Guessing my case shipments will be delayed............
The Pitaka is roughly half the weight of the Apple Silicone. Of course it leaves much more of the phone exposed, and there is virtually no lip above the screen. If you’re accustomed to going caseless though, it might work well for you.
I can detect no difference in performance when comparing the bare Camera Control to using the CC cover integrated into the Silicone case.
I decided to keep my 15 Pro for another year and buy the 17 Pro next year BUT...........I do love that Lake Green silicone case/Black Titanium combo!
Also looks great with the orange magsafe wallet someone posted.

It felt really good. Not sure how much stronger it is compared to others. But was impressed I could stick it to my fridge and had to use some force to pull it off. Might rock the case tomorrow and see what I think of it a little more before returning it. Currently rocking the Apple Clear, which is ehh for me. Not enough grip. Otterbox Lumen and Spigen Ultra T on the way to try out as well.
Otterbox lumen is pretty grippy. However the magnet is weak.
I was literally going to mention how terrible of a name they gave it lol. Give a update of your thoughts once you have gotten to try it out!
Good to know. I'll give it a go just to see how it compares. My biggest need is not falling off my MagSafe charger in my car. So we shall see.
I tried a few cases such as the Apple Silicone Case, the Mujjo Leather Case and my favorite by far is the Pitaka Tactile Woven Case. It’s very slim and the carbon fiber feels grippy and doesn’t attract lint. The side buttons are exposed but that doesn’t really bother me because the case looks great.
I got my Spigen Ultra Hybrid T on Saturday the day after I received my phone. I’m liking it a lot. I have had to change the camera button to a double tap as I was accidentally pressing it too often but it works really well. I’m happy with the case and it’s far better than the official Apple clear case. It has good grip and I like the fact the bottom is not open.
So many nice cases so far but I just won't entertain any that have the cutout for the camera button, so Apple silicone it is for me lol.
I had the Pitaka slim line case on my Pro Max 15 and a few weeks ago for the first time ever I dropped my phone on the concrete pavement. The case was trashed, but the phone was pristine with no marks on it whatsoever.
Just got my new Apple silicone case in Denim for the 16Pro.
As others have mentioned, it feels different from last year’s, in a better way. The camera control button works flawlessly.

Update, won’t be getting it until the end of next week since it’s company directly from the factory. Should be one of the first to have it and plan to report AS SOON as I have it.
