Can’t wait for the Tough Armour to be out.
need to have Satki protection with a toddler running around at home hahah

Hahaha I feel you

I used to prefer minimalistic and thin cases but because of the hyper toddlers, I need to beef up protection and build a tank around my phone nowadays

 

[cloudystar]

sian, they don't have paragon series. am eyeing the orange case

Even by Caudabe direct, the paragon series are only shipping from mid/late Oct.

Unlike previous years, somehow the local distributors and resellers didn’t manage to get the stocks in advance for this year’s iPhone launch

I think alot of manufacturers are lazy to spend on R&D to build a covered potion for the Capacitive press of the Camera Control button - Pitaka, Andar, Nomad, Mujjo, just to name a few, are all exposed.

These cut out are so so so so ugly. I rather put Apple silicone than these casing.

Absolutely. It’s like, we as Apple fans are trying our best to move away from the Silent switch cutout cases from the early stages of 15PM case manufacturers.

And then, 16PM Apple purposely pawn all these case manufacturers by introducing the Camera Control button coz Apple knows these manufacturers can’t react fast enough on time to make that part covered.

actually they know beforehand alr with all the leaks just that most likely they do not know the actual dimensions of the camera control, so easiest way is to have a big cut out.

He also strongly recommended the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T case.

All I can say is, they lazy lor and in a rush to faster release their cases to compete for sales with other brands.

Wait till they realised, “Eh, how come our sales of our 16 series cases ain’t as good as last year’s 15 series, then they will spend money and redo their 16 series cases with proper Camera Control covered up cutout button.

Ringke Fusion in Matte Clear.

Hell yeah! I had the Ringke Fusion Bold on my 15PM last year.

 

[EizenHauser]

Speaking of the Ringke Fusion, anyone having trouble finding the Matte Clear Magsafe for the iPhone 16 Pro? Was only able to find the standard Clear with Magsafe in Lazada/Shopee.

Isn't this the one? https://shopee.sg/Ringke-Fusion-Bol...9b&xptdk=fb38ab4c-edd7-40e4-8668-e951a76dc09b

 

[EizenHauser]

Sorry can't post links, but I meant the clear Ringke case with the white Magsafe ring where the 'Matte Clear' option for the Pro is greyed out.

Actually disappointed that Apple did a sloppy job on their cases - they didn’t even come up with an improved version of that horrendous FineWoven case - just simply launched the clear and silicon. Beats version is even worse - feels and look cheap

 

[ragnarok95]

Apple did a good job by not reintroducing their finewoven casing. It's already a horrendous casing to most, don't need to improve it.

 

[Tukatuz]

anyone got the Hoda Sapphire Screen Protector? is the black border same thickness as the iPhone pro/pro max or slightly over?

But not consistent leh. Why watch new strap and wallet still using this inferior material? Case excluded only?

 

[ragnarok95]

Not sure. I would prefer they release vegan leather casing.

Slightly blocking the screen.

True, it was in some ways a deliberate move to boost accessories sales before 3rd party case makers can react to the changes. Just imagine how many people preferred the Otterbox Lumen, Apple Silicon case etc. and skipped the Andar leather, Mujjo, Casetify, Mous, Caudabe, Nomad etc.

These are like rather popular case brands in the market but they're losing to Apple 'certified' cases at the moment.

I saw the Otterbox Lumen at Apple Store. Major fingerprint magnet, rough finishing and sharp edges at the corners. Rather ugly case IMO. All that for $75, sorry I can't comprehend..
