I think the best options from the cases launched so far is going to be the Ryan London https://ryanlondon.com/products/iph...-shell-case-metal-magsafe-dark-brown?variant= Next best option is going to be the Decoded.
I'm not upgrading to the 16 but if I were I'd get a cheap amazon case for a few weeks and see what the others launch before deciding. Particularly Luckycoin and Bullstrap. I'm a huge fan of the Luckycoin on my 15 but haven't seen their 16 line up launch yet. So far the offering from Bullstrap is confusing at best... they always mess up the launch so its not surprising but they will get it sorted and have a nice offering I'm sure. Andar, Nomad both have the weird cut out shape happening but I bet you those cases get a redesign pretty quickly and become nicer once they see what their competition is doing.
Mujjo cases are absolute garbage so I personally would skip them. I've given them a chance a few times and never will again... its just really cheap leather with paint on top and will not patina at all.

I don't think any case with a cutout for the capture button is going to be the best option, unless you have skinny fingers. You'll see all the dudes using their pinky to scroll zoom 😅
Has anyone used Torro cases before? They have this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DFCVNPJ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I'm looking for something as close to the old Apple leather case as possible. Not looking for high end leather that will develop a patina, as I'm probably getting it in black.

I ordered one of these because I didn't want to deal with cutouts and I just need to stop the phone from getting scuffed when I put it down on my desk.
I bought a Ryan London case for my 15 last year and it's been great. I like the open chin on it, making swiping up nice and without my finger catching. Quality materials and it's wearing well.

Aw, that’s a shame. Surely if they have until 05/11 they can come up with something better?Their cutout will look like this
I think it looks pretty good... especially compared to Nomad and Andar.
Doubt it. Not for the contemporary (full case). The only reason that is delayed is because this is V2.
Agree. I think they actually pulled it off pretty good all things considered. For now at least, I preordered the Terra to go with the Black Titanium so hopefully the darker colors hide it a little better.
I will eventually as well. I bought entirely too many leather cases last year so not trying to do the same again. One open bottom and one closed bottom should be enough
Just got the Nomad Modern Leather Case in Horween leather in black. Looks good and I’ve had good luck with Nomad cases in the past. I got black leather because I like dark colors. I wish they made a dark blue leather, but this will do for now.
I tried the nomad modern case last year and the edge of the cutout for the charging port was way to sharp and was where my pinky would lay when holding the phone. Couldn’t use it.
I ordered a Nomad Traditional case in Horween Rustic Brown. I have always like Nomad cases and had good luck. Plus the fact that I own 5 Horween leather wallets makes it nice to have on my phone. I love that tannery. I might also get the magnetic back case again. I love the one on my 15PM.
