Yeah, they are taking orders through their website but I don't know what the shipping is like. I've only ordered them through Amazon in the past. I imagine they will have the 17 line on Amazon soon. But if you can't wait you could try ordering direct.
Appreciate the info, thank you. I did order a Lonli leather case off Amazon last week so that will tie me over for now.
 
Ryan London’s black leather case compliments the cosmic orange nicely in my opinion. Took a few quick pictures. Loving the orange accents around the phone in the front. Just the little things what win me over with this combination. Once the honey moon stage wears off, I’m going to be rocking this iPhone with no case most the time

Ryan London’s black leather case really makes the cosmic orange pop, don’t you think? I snapped a few quick shots. I’m totally loving those orange accents around the phone in the front,those little details are what really make this combo shine! Once the honeymoon phase is over, I’m probably going to be rocking this iPhone without a case most of the time because it’s a beautiful color to hide. Sheesh!

Not ordinarily a fan of the orange, but that’s looks really good.

I wish my blue phone would get here already….

Any good leather cases for the 16 PM with a camera control button? Preferably something on Amazon to avoid the shipping charge.
From my experience, Ryan London is by far the best; and great customer service too if you ever run into any issues
 
Buttons and cutouts each suck in their own ways. First off rarely do case makers do buttons with good enough material and feel while press. Then cutouts are by default harder to work with due to the recess (which can be a good thing depends who you ask), and then that side of the wall will inevitably be structurally weaker.

I think any warm brown-ish leather can work with Cosmic Orange, this has to be the year that is the easiest for leather cases to match.

I received the mobee marigold yellow leather case.


It's got no camera button, just a cutout, but I knew that in advance. However, what I didn't know in advance is that the camera ridge is metal, not plastic. I'm worried this will scratch the anodized surface of the camera plateau, and that it also will block wireless signals. So I will return it.

For the time being, I have ordered a silicone case in "stone" colour which is an off-white for my cosmic orange 17 Pro Max, until I find a leather case more to my liking, and which doesn't cost $75 or whatever.

Does anyone have experience with the Shieldon leather cases?

They’re on Amazon and they’re significantly cheaper than some of the other big leather brands. And the reviews seem quite good, but who knows.

Well, I ordered it. Hopefully it’s decent. It’s one quarter the price of an Andar Aspen where I am, so I just can’t justify that price differential.

One thing it’s missing is a camera control button. Hopefully the cutout is decent. And it has MagSafe support, looks nice (at least judging by the photos), and the model I got is horse leather, which is allegedly a durable type of leather.

We shall see.
 
I have been going with an european brand for years they are top notch quality but this time their models are covering half of the camera bump. I mean yes I know the bump is ugly but its the only thing distingushing 17 pros from all the last years pros so.

Does anyone know an european leather case brand? And Not Andar, Ryan London, Mujjo, Alex Goldfinch or Nomad (I think they are ugly sorry)
 
Ordered the le pelle mist blue leather case off amazon for iPhone air and it’s pretty nice. I love the color and the leather feels pretty good. It’s also surprisingly thin. At 36 grams it does affect the airiness of the air but I might just use it for certain occasions. I do think the connector around the usb c by the screen will probably break pretty quick as it’s extremely thin.

I ordered the Pro Case on Monday and still haven't received any indication of when it will ship. When I ordered, it said only 2 remained in stock. It's funny, though...I checked all the other products at the same time and they all had the exact same "Only 2 remaining" note. I'm guessing it was just a way to fake high demand in order to encourage ordering.

I've replied to Farhad's (the CEO's) automated "thank you for ordering" email hoping to get an update, but nothing. Also tried the website chat feature which appears to do nothing. I'm not getting my pre-ordered iPhone for a couple of weeks, so I'm not sweating it yet.
I replied and emailed but haven’t heard back and still no shipping update. Kind of disappointed. It even says “hurry, only 2 left” again, not preorder.
 
The new Lucky Coin is unsurprisingly the same style as Bullstrap… not for me!

I mentioned to LC on their Facebook page how ugly this is and they replied saying they are considering a second design. I think they have to because this is not attractive at all.

I’m not sure I like the new camera bump design Apple is using but this case makes it even worse.

Nomad Traditional case in Black Horween Leather:

This is my first case with a camera control button (the cases I used on my 16 pro all had cutouts). I notice that when I set the phone screen down next to me on the couch that when I pick it up, I sometimes activate the camera control button with my finger. Hopefully will stop once I get used to the case. Other than that, no complaints- the case is beautiful and the leather feels great.

I ordered the Lonli case initially and liked the feel but I mistakenly got the Pro Max case. Instead of ordering it again I decided to try the Alto case because it has a built in camera button instead of just a hole. Just got here and the leather quality is fantastic.

And yes, I have a glass protector over the exposed lenses and no, it isn’t aligned properly.

Does yours not fit properly in any of the corners? Mine doesn’t fit in the bottom right corner.
