Decent leather case for 16 Pro

Pretty impressed, ordered Monday from the Netherlands, arrived to me in AZ just now. Looks like a fine leather case to me. Here are some pictures. There is a nice cutout for that fancy camera control button. iPhone 16 Pro Max at "preparing to ship" stage. I am good to go.

That looks really nice. I already ordered and received my Nomad, but I may need to consider this one too. I’m glad they have minimized the branding. I wonder if you can scratch off the wording on the lens surrounding?
IMO, Andar and Bullstrap are the best. Nomad makes some nice stuff too, but has TPU at the edges. My Andar and Bullstrap cases for the 15 Pro held up beautifully and feel so nice. So far I’ve ordered the Navy Andar Aspen for my incoming 16 PM, and I’ll probably pick up the Terra Bullstrap eventually. Maybe wait for a Black Friday sale or something.
Well if you're not too far from an Apple Store go there Friday. For 10 years I just show up around 7:30 and they ask which color and storage amount you want. Then they reserve it for you and set a pickup appt. Generally mine gets set for 10:00 so go have some coffee and do some emails and then I show back up and out in 30 minutes with ALWAYS the special color of the year. Never once have they let me down. They get new inventory shipments midday if you can't do it early. Just a thought.
One thing I like and dislike about the Andar is the metal ring around the camera. I have a metal desk and it scrapes across it. I want try the BullStrap but not liking the Nov. ship date for the full wrap leather.
I'm also torn between buying the Decoded or RL... Can you post more pics, maybe in better lightning? Appreciate.
Im assuming all leather cases going with cut out not a button overlay?
Ali looks like it has some cases that look in the vain of old apple leather, at a glance. not sure about their uniquely designed YNW ones or whatever?

Give case makers some time. If there is enough demand for a leather case with compatible button, someone will make it.
I don’t know that that’s the worst thing to have a cut out to be honest haha
Might be a nice contrast look especially if third party does a crappy job at it
I'm from the the UK, I just ordered the Torro leather case for my iPhone 16 Pro Max from Amazon for £27.99 which is a reasonable price, actually looks quite good!
I did order a genuine Apple silicone case however I will probably return it, I just hate the feel of silicone cases, such a shame Apple stopped making leather ones!

Torro black leather is a sort of grippy leather with little bumps over the texture.
Their brown case is smooth like the Andar cases, which might be more to your liking.
If you zoom in on the pictures on amazon or their website, you can sort of see the difference.

Anyone in the Uk received their first batch Ryan London IP16PM case yet?

No update yet, which is a little misleading as they never stated it was pre-order…
