Belemay via Amazon also have nice leather cases available for the 16e for anyone who might be interested and is struggling to find options…
I have several Japanese shinki leather jackets and boots so I like to think I know a thing or two about leather.
The beginning stages, but i know where it will end:
Veg tan hand stitched no plastic interior leather case for my iPhone 13 mini from etsy.
The leather will mold more and shape to the phone with more use. Can't wait to post patina progress.

Got the Alex Goldfinch case for my Desert Titanium. It looks and feels very nice and much lighter than I thought it would be, but I have to say the camera control button cutout kind of sucks. I'll probably get used to it, but it makes the button a bit inaccessible. Overall, I like the case though.
I had a Pitaka case before this one and I actually liked the big cutout. I do use the CC button a lot so it is annoying, but like I said I'll probably get used to it. A CC button would be nice, but I doubt I'd end up buying another case just for that.
Did you? It looked unpleasant to me, didn’t get use to it, makes the cc button esier to use but for me wasn’t worth it. Hope you get used to it. Keep posting how patina is developing ✌🏻
Ryan London 15 pro Max after 17 months.
Love it and I am a bit sad that I now will get a new one with my 16 pro Max next week.
I went for the Alex Goldfinch, but I just hope the CC button cut out will work. Spoke to RL customer support, they said no CC button for the open bottom version in the planning.
Cheers

I wouldn’t recommend those, patina with those is quite bad, and leather feels is definitely subpar, and quite pricey for what they are offering. If Nomad get Hornween Leather, and even with that leather isn’t a great leather case. That’s just my opinion.
Anyone tried the Rumwot with Camera Control button? Speaking of which, how is this button performing? I’d need to ship it from the US to The Netherlands, so better ask it first.

I've done it! 
After reading in this Forum for AGES i decided to pull the trigger and ordered myself a Ryan London in Saddle Brown for my 16 Pro Max in Natural Titanium.
I have it now since Monday and i have to say, this is SO close to the Apple Cases. It's slim, it smells good. The Buttons are a bit hard to press, but i think this will get easier with time.
EDIT: My Screen Protector is from the Apple Store, they applied it (it's the Belkin one)

I’m not convinced they ever existed, I’ve never seen one on any forum. I’ve patiently watched for it to be availible on Amazon for about 1 year to no avail.
It definitely existed
I had one from Amazon, but for whatever reason they never restocked after the initial batch sold out unlike the other colours.
The scratches will buff out on their own with use.
Take it to BBC Repair Shop. They’ll fix it for you and you get to be on telly as well.
😂 that’s like iFixit as a television show, right? Here’s how to get on the air with it: https://metro.co.uk/2021/10/06/the-repair-shop-how-to-get-your-items-featured-on-the-show-15374134/
The oils from your hands and regular use will soften and wear the leather down. Well at least on good leather, it will.
