So you guys suggest I just proceed and buy the current Armor Pro 600D Kevlar for my new £1,400 toy?! Surely better overall protection than Apple silicone…
No. I beat my phones fairly hard and IMO modern iPhone Pros are uber tough; tough enough without adding funky cases.

That is my $0.02 and experience. Some other folks do like adding funky cases. If one is a worrier IMO spend the money on theft/damage insurance rather than on a funky case.
 
I asked them a fair while back and was told they had no plans to add a button.

They may have changed their plans, I doubt it but hope they do. We’ll see with the latest reply when it comes.
Benks responded to my inquiry saying "some new products are being released next month". That was it so pretty vague and no guarantee either there will be a new case with a cover for the CB button. Oh well, my Armor Pro case has now been shipped!

I wouldn’t bet my money on Benks releasing cc cases. Just some new products.

I think you could well be right. The funny thing is, Benks Armor Pro case along with the sapphire screen protector both being posted from China I believe, works out overall cheaper than walking into an Apple shop in London and either buying the Apple silicone or the Lumen series with a screen protector! Anyway, I have ordered my Armor Pro 600d Kevlar and Benks sapphire screen protector which should be arriving this week :) I don't think I will be disappointed, nor with the CB cut out.

OOI, do you own a Benks case?
 
It's a Benks ArmorPro Aurora with an added on AliExpress CC button.
Out of interest, have you found the Benks Aurora case for your 16 Pro? My Armor Pro 600d Kevlar (along with the Benks sapphire screen protector) should be arriving in the next couple of days :)

I sure do! I also have aurora mag stand and some high speed charging cables en route. Benks has ransacked my bank account lol.

Crikey, quite a collection! They do clearly make much better cases than most, Apple included. Is the fast charging cable worth it? The cable that comes with the 16 Pro Max I assume is not the fast charging cable? I do not know if it is worth getting another cable given the 16 PM incredible battery life?

I haven’t gotten the cables in. I can’t wait to try them out lol. I have a passion green coming in today actually. After that I’m done case buying. Idc for the cc buttons. I don’t use it anyways.
 
Please do!
I get my hands on it Monday and I confirmed with them that you cannot remove the button. Good news for sure. I’ll drop some pics as soon as I get it in.
Please do, I would be so grateful. So I need to return the case I have arriving today? I live in UK.

Did they tell you when you can buy the new case with the CB cover from their website? Thanks..
