TineeOwl for iPhone 16 Pro Magnetic Case, [Covered Camera Control Button], Compatible with MagSafe, TPU, Minimalist, Slim/Thin, Grippy - Dune Series (Almost Black, iPhone 16 Pro)

I’ve been searching high and low for a plain black case with a good grippy texture and coverage for the stupid camera button, while also including MagSafe functionality. Finally, I think this case fits the bill perfectly.The case has good, strong magnets that are well placed. The protection for the camera bump is effective and unobtrusive. I like that they made the button on the case for the iPhone multifunction button a round shape so it can be easily differentiated from the others. I’m quickly able to silence my phone without removing it from my pocket just by quickly feeling for the round button.I don’t often use the new camera button but I’ve tested it with this case and it is fully functional. Soft press, sliding and hard press all work as they should. I did have a very minor issue with the camera button after installing the case. The camera button had to be reseated to be flush against the iPhone camera button and has since not caused any issues.Biggest gripe is the buttons on the case are connected by only the smallest amount of material on opposing sides of each button. I haven’t encountered any durability issues with this design as of yet, and I assume the buttons were designed this way in an effort to prevent them being too stiff due to the rigidity of the case material. The space around the buttons are open by about the thickness of a fingernail and it does allow dust and dirt to accumulate within the case. I would have much preferred the buttons to be fully enclosed, even if that had caused them to be harder to press.All in all, I’m happy with this case. The best part about it is that I don’t even think about it. It has no rough seams, doesn’t adversely affect any functionality, and the grip the case provides is sublime. The price was definitely at the right spot. It has saved my phone a few times already and hasn’t picked up any abrasions or scars that I can see. Perfection.

Update: received replacement case from Amazon. Brand new with a seal on it, and has a proper UPC product code without another UPC code label over it.Love the case, upgrading to 5 stars. I love the texture on the case, yet it slides in and out of my pants pocket with ease, as well feels super smooth in the hand yet it has a good grip. Almost magical. I had previously purchased a genuine leather case at more than 2x the price and it pulls my pocket inside out.The camera control works fine, which looks different on the new replacement case compared to the used/returned one Amazon sent me originally. I've added photos comparing the new one to the used one. The photo showing the interior of the camera control, the new case is the one on the bottom. I'm going with the goof being on Amazon and not the seller. Equally important, all buttons remain very tactile, and the round action button to differentiate from the volume up/down buttons is a nice touch.Lastly, I usually like a minimalist case with no branding. On this case, I actually like the subtle little owl logo on the bottom. This is my go to case in the future when I upgrade my phone.Initial review:I don't know if this is the fault of Amazon or the seller, but I received an obviously used case. Perhaps it was a returned item, I don't know. The box seal was already peeled off. There are smudges on the case, and there's a scratch on the corner of the camera bump.I will say I like the feel of the case very much. It has a nice texture to it giving it a good grip, yet it is very smooth to touch and does not pull my pocket inside out which is my #1 concern when buying a phone case.I've requested through Amazon an exchange and will update if this issue is resolved.

Probably one of the best feeling phone cases I've ever owned. The texture is nice and grippy without feeling uncomfortable to hold and doesn't have the odd sticky feeling that many plastic phone cases eventually develop due to the material for the edges.The dusty lilac (it's pretty much identical behr's purple mauve) matches very well with the natural titanium color. The magsafe is strong and you can hold up the phone with a magsafe popsocket without worrying about it randomly popping off the case. I rarely drop my phone so I can't test it's protectiveness, but it sure does look nice. I also love that the logo is subtle and not obtrusive.The case is new so I can't tell if there's going to be future color transfer/fading, but I'll update the review if there is any.

I have been trying to find a good phone case for ip16 pro but it wasn’t easy. Most phone case just cuts open at the camera button to make it easy. I don’t like it as it hurt my palm when I use the phone for too long. I also considered the official phone case from Apple, but it’s not cheap and the quality is just so so. This case feels way more sturdier than the official phone case, with a minimal design, meg-safe compatibility, and great price point.

Pros: rock like matte texture, does feel nice to hold, however not as grippy as I'd imagined. Does feel like a protective ish material, thick enough and half flexible half not, will probably protect from a light drop but I have only dropped it once and it was not a high fall so can't say yet. Very anti fingerprint and smudges. Cons: does not feel as tight fitted to the phone as I'd like, especially the front edges, haven't popped off or anything but it feels like if I dropped it hard it might pop off the case, and its also easy to bend, easy to put on and off but really does not feel tight enough for me. Camera control button also doesn't feel the most secure, compared to something like spigen hybrid ultra T. Even though it does feel protective enough for low drops day to day, does not feel like it will be able to handle rough drops. Camera button feels a little unresponsive/slowI got 2 of these cases one pink one black for me and hubby so will update later if the color fades or if my phone cracks from drops.
