Hmmm, I wonder if the iPhone 14 Apple leather cases fit that new iPhone 16e since it has the same dimensions…
Doubt it, action button vs silent switch and the buttons probably moved 2mm
I think the Action Button could fit in the silent switch spot, unless they moved the location down. Buttons being moved would nuke it though.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but this is the 16E. It's based off the 16 series not the 14 series, I don't think the 14 cases are going to fit on this phone. Well at the very least the buttons aren't going to match up.
At least according to Apple’s iPhone compare page, it has the exact same dimensions as the iPhone 14 and not the iPhone 16
Got my Alex Goldfinch case in today after a long time waiting (Ordered Feb 3).
No leather smell that I can tell, but not really an issue as I hit it with some leather conditioner that smells like leather. The leather feels good though, like you would expect for real leather. Soft and doesn’t feel like plastic like some other cases do.
Fit is nice. Buttons seem fine.
No CC button - don’t care as I don’t really use it.
Open bottom- this is going to take a while to get used to. If it was a closed bottom, would be perfect to me.
Logo- not a fan, but its location on the bottom of the back of the case is OK. Bird watching/photography is a hobby of mine, so I will live with it since it is a feather logo. No logo would be preferred, but it seems like it’s getting harder to find these days.
Not bad overall. The case feels good and looks good. Wish they made a dark blue, closed bottom, no logo version…

Neither the buttons nor the action button vs silent switch are in the same place between the 16 and 14. They were all moved several mm
If I may ask, what is this leather conditioner you mentioned? And do you use it on other leather products? It's always sad for me when that smell goes away. 😂
I use the griots garage leather conditioner. But I believe there are other brands out there that also smell like leather. I do use it on all kinds of leather - from car seats to my leather couch.
Thanks. Yeah, I don’t like logos in general. For sure I prefer closed bottom, but my wife just saw the case and remarked that at least the bottom will be easy to clean- she showed me her case with all of the dust buildup in the cutouts for usb and microphones. So maybe that will be a benefit of the open case.
For sure, open bottom are more clean! What I do with open bottom cases is buy a hydrogel edge protector on Aliexpress for 2€, and only apply the bottom part of it, so I cover that part from scratches, I’ve been using that trick for years and everything perfect.
Black. Must be the lighting that gives it the blue tint. I wish they made a dark blue case, but black was the only option for a dark case.
Thanks, great idea! I’m going to have to order one. I see them on Amazon for $7-10. A little more than what you can get on Aliexpress, but with delivery for tomorrow.
Yeah, I know. I’m saying the iPhone 16e has the exact same dimensions as the iPhone 14. The iPhone 16e does not have the same dimensions as the iPhone 16.
I understand that, but it’s likely that the 16e has the button placement just like the 16, and that’s a different button placement than the 14 so even though they may have the same dimensions, a 14 case wouldn’t be compatible because of the buttons.
First time seeing this brand. Looks like they use Horween leather too. Definitely on the pricier side but I really like that olive green case:

Yeah I’ve seen them before, seems top quality but looks like it’s suede or alcantara or it’s just me? Price is just too much for what I’m willing to pay.First time seeing this brand. Looks like they use Horween leather too. Definitely on the pricier side but I really like that olive green case:

Looking for a new case? Gotten bored of the Luckycoin?
Still rocking the LC haha. This brand popped up in my Instagram feed.
RL in saddle brown. Even though I don’t use the cc button I do enjoy having a case that finally has one. I just really hope this camera ring holds up.
Fit is excellent very reminiscent of an Apple leather case. The small gap was there when I first installed the case, but I molded the shell by pushing inward to fill the gap. Not sure if that makes any sense lol but it fixed the problem that a few of you had reported.
This Lumazi brand came up for me in an ad.
