Can you share pics of the actual case?

I'm sorry man but this looks like a generic Temu or Aliexpress $3 case.... I would not pay Apple $40+ bucks for this. Just my personal opinion though.

Send it back!

Can you share more pics? How's the texture like? I ordered one in black, will come on Friday.

Love everything about my Beats case, except for one thing:

It has zero grip and after a while, feels slick like silicone lube.

Ugh.

So I was living the sunset purple until I went out for like a few hours to the mall and quick lunch and when I got home, I found a tiny dent in the back already. No keys or anything in my pockets.

Sadly I returned it.

Some pics when I first got it

iPhones genuinely cases went down the hole after they decided to discontinue the good old leather case. Man, I miss those.

The last few leather case releases were also a drop in quality but somehow still are better than the other options generally. Nobody quite figured out using real leather on a thin frame as well as they did from iPhone 5-iPhone 11

I was looking at the clear, silicone and Beats cases for iPhone 16 and noticed that - unlike in previous generations (at least with leather) - they have removed the metal/hard plastic volume and power switches which gave a nice tactile feel. Now they are just the same squidgy material as the rest of the case. I find it hard to see the value for €59.

Love the one I have for iPhone 16 Pro. The buttons feel awesome. Camera Control feels like pressing the actual button on the phone. Material feels great. It's still too expensive but I like this case a lot.

Beats case:

pros:​

​

+ buttons have a nice tactile feedback due to rigidity (unlike silicone case)​

+ bottom is exposed making bottom swiping easy and unobstructed (unlike silicone case)​

+ very easy to disinfect super smooth surface with alcohol wipes​

​

cons:​

​

- plastic always feels wet and greasy, even with clean hands (unlike silicone case)​

- super smooth surface has zero friction with other surfaces, causing slips and slides (unlike silicone case)​

- bottom is exposed making it vulnerable and prone to damage (unlike silicone case)​
