This is my first time pre-ordering a phone, and I want to have a case ready as soon as it arrives. I know that companies get the dimensions in advance, so cases are available right away. But how can I tell which cases are good if no one has tried them yet? Are there any brands that people trust to make cases for the new model? I really want to make sure I have a case right away after I get the phone.
Same here, I ordered an Apple case. I plan to check in a few months after some third-party cases are reviewed.

You might not need to if you already have a case that you trust. For me, I like the Rhinoshield solidsuit cases. I can order that before my phone arrives and avoid paying extra for Apple’s version.

That makes sense, but I haven’t found a go-to case that I really like. I’ve been using my iPhone 12 Max Pro without a case for about a year, but I dropped it six months ago and the back shattered. So, I picked up a cheap clear case from Amazon to get me through. I guess I’ll have to spend some time finding a good case. I need to do some more research.

My favorite cases are the Caudabe Sheath or Synthesis. They are slim, have good grip, and protect well. Plus, they come in several colors. I got my first Sheath with the iPhone 11 Pro Max and I’ve owned every iPhone since. I always go for the black Sheath first, and then a different color later on. I’ve already ordered mine for the 16. People really seem to like them.

I want Magsafe, camera control, and a nice navy color. Right now, only Apple has that option. I hope the silicone will hold up well.

If you’ve used an Apple silicone case before, you might know they wear out quickly. I had two for my 12 Pro, and both looked bad in under a year. I got the first replaced under warranty, but I wouldn’t purchase it again. They feel nice but can be hard to pull in and out of your pockets, which wears down the silicone.

I haven’t tried an Apple silicone case, but I did get a cheap Aliexpress one and had the same issues you described. I guess I’ll hold onto it for now and look for a better option once other brands release theirs with the camera control button.

It seems that silicone cases don’t tend to last long for me. While I can’t hold Apple fully responsible for theirs falling apart, they should be more careful labeling it as a premium option.

Exactly. I don’t think it should cost more than $15. But people like me keep buying them, so they probably will continue to charge that.

I’ve been looking around and found lots of brands on Amazon that have the camera button.

Do any of those have solid navy colors?

Sorry, I don’t remember specifics.

I just found one that has the camera button and is navy. Not sure if being thin is what you want though.

Just to clarify, I’m looking for a case that covers the button with a capacitive sapphire surface. The only brands that do this well right now are Apple, Beats, Spigen, Sup, and Otterbox. The one you shared has a cutout for the camera control rather than fully covering it.

I really like the denim color.

Right? I love navy and cream. I’m hoping the denim works well with the Natural Titanium.

I’m going for the black titanium. I’m not a fan of silicone cases from any brand. But if I decide on silicone, I’d opt for the denim.

Look into Peak Design cases.

They don’t have camera control or navy options, though… Why the downvotes? I’d love to be told if I’m wrong about any Peak Design cases that have those features.
