Decent leather case for 16 Pro

I've had the official apple leather case on my 13 pro for years now and I was hoping to get another for the 16 pro but they don't seem to make them any more.

Appreciate its early days but has anyone else seen a decent leather case available yet? I'm a bit loathed to spend £50 on a silicone one.

From a design point, Mujjo’s looks the best so far IMO.

Especially with this new leather - sounds a like higher quality than their previous offerings

Decoded again for me this year. Free 2-4 days shipping, no tax, from the Netherlands (to AZ) like last year. 2 year warranty, "Ecco" leather. I upgrade each year so I doubt the warranty is helpful to me. Case order placed and and I have also done the get ready for pre-order from the Apple website...let the tracking games begin!

I noticed it looks a little different than last year’s offering for example the back camera cut out bezel is thinner.

All these cases with a cutout for the new capture button... I think its going to be an issue when sliding across to change zoom, unless you have small fingers. The official apple cases have a "sapphire crystal, coupled to a conductive layer to communicate finger movements to the Camera Control", basically they put a button on the button, for this reason I believe.

Anyone see one of those "authentic" / look-alike Apple leather cases on AliExpress yet, like people were getting for the iPhone 15 models last year?

Ive been using the leather cases from AliExpress made by YMW for the last 2 years or so. Couldn't be more happy with quality and fit. Been checking their store but nothing for the 16 as of yet.

These are PU. Just FYI

At this point I don't really care if they're polyurethane or real leather. Apple's not going to release leather cases anymore and the 3rd party brands that are making leather cases are really expensive or there are issues with the ones they release.

These cheap look-alike cases from AliExpress seem to be pretty durable and look / feel like the real Apple leather cases.

What new leather are you referring to?

This is what's putting me off at the moment. I think I'll go for an official apple case 1st then see what comes out over time.

Seeing Mujjo pop up a lot here. IMO they make the best leather cases. I currently have their leather wallet case for the 15 Pro (also had a 12 at some point) and couldn't recommend it more. Also looks like they've debuted a new green colour for their 16 cases that looks stunning.

The last two Mujjo cases I've purchased, I sent back. Got one at launch for the 14PM and the buttons were so stiff that they wouldn't work properly. Same issue with the 15PM version a year later.

I have one for my 15pro and they feel nothing like the apple leather cases or any of the genuine leather cases I’ve used. They feel like hard rubber with some texture added. They fit fine and the buttons aren’t bad but don’t get one expecting it to feel like leather.

Same here! the buttons were too stiff and the holes at the bottom don't like up with the speaker holes and it was driving me insane.
