I hope that I can hear your review before mine ship out. I ordered all 3 colors of the Paragon and would hate to have to go through the return process if the case ends up being crap.
Got a tip for us?

Not yet. I really have high hopes on that one. I never liked the Pro Cases from Pitaka because of the sharp edges on the back but this one looks dope.
Got my Pitaka cases today. Love the one for my Fold but why on earth did they make the frame around the camera bump so big and sharp on the iPhone ...
To piggyback on this, I posted some photo’s of silicone vs. pitaka on 16PM. i sent the silicone back because while the CC might require the same pressure, I think it is easier to find with my finger on the pitaka due to it being open. I can easily slide my finger onto the case and slide right into the CC.
Ran across this in a review on Amazon. The person bumped the phone against a table edge. The case is the Mous Limitless 6. Be careful if you’re using a case with a full cutout and no lip above the camera control.

As a former multi-year user of the Apple leather cases, the closest you’ll get right now is the black Beats case. The Silicone case is nice but the buttons aren’t cut like leather cases, the clear case is mushy, and the Beats case has them cut like how the old leather ones were. The bottom isn’t covered, and the material isn’t leather obviously, but as of right now, there is no leather I’d trust until 3rd party case makers can replicate the camera button.
Aaaaaand this is why every lazy case maker using the full cutout design with no protection gets an instant pass from me.
Caudabe Veil got Camera Control cover/button ? 😯

I don’t think so. Photo is probably taken with some kind of dummy phone. It would make no sense for that case to have a cover and the rest of their line up doesn’t. Plus that texture definitely doesn’t look like something that is a functioning camera control button.
I agree the camera ring is so sharp to the touch on it. That’s something I pointed out as well in an earlier post about this case. Definitely isn’t necessary.
The Benks Armor Air could be a good alternative plus it comes with different color ways like the Pitaka.
I’m pretty sure that’s a cutout. It’s just that the case is so thin the camera control is not recessed. The Totallee and other super thin cases look similar.
Also the Veil has a cutout for every button and all buttons are exposed. Even that power button looks textured so that’s just what they filled the case with for the ad photos.
Got myself excited for no reason.
Back to Planet Earth.
Good for my wallet though.

Mine has shipped but the tracking hasn’t updated yet
Some more photos. I wish the camera ring was gold instead of silver or not there at all. It’s unnecessary big and sharp 😩

Has anyone that submitted an order on Amazon for a spigen Ultra Hyrbid T MagFit in frosted black for an iPhone 16 pro max heard anything? I ordered mine 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything at all, I think I’m going to just cancel my order at this point.
I haven’t heard anything. I saw a comment on Reddit (IIRC) that they won’t ship until late November, but I have no idea if that’s accurate.
Curious about the Pitaka Pro. Among protective cases with a cutout, this one looks the most smooth/integrated. Still wish it had a CC cover though…
Here’s that same piranha case with black titanium 16 pro max

I now have both the Sheath and Synthesis from Caudabe, and while the Synthesis is a nice case, the Sheath is the clear winner for me this year.
The Synthesis scratches very, very easily. All I had to do was run a fingernail over the back of the case and it left a noticeable mark. This really surprised me because my 15PM Synthesis was my primary case and it looks brand new still.
15PM Synthesis vs 16PM Synthesis:
