BelemayCompatible with iPhone 16 Pro Leather Case, Compatible with Magsafe, Premium Crazy Horse Leather [Vintage Aesthetic] Comfort Grip, Metal Buttons & Camera Bump Frame, (6.3") Classic Brown

I've been using this case for a few months now and I've grown to really love it. It patinas nicely and is showing no signs of any significant wear and tear. When it inevitably does wear out I will be looking to replace it with the exact same model. Also, the MagSafe area on the back works just fine. Because it's leather, I'd say magnetic mounts are a *little* less strong, but it holds to my nightly charging stand just fine. The magnetic mount in my truck has dropped the phone a couple of times when terrain got rough, but I know now to not trust the magnetic mount when I'm anywhere near an off-road situation.

I was first drawn to this case because of its vintage look, but I was blown away once I had it in my hands.The leather feels incredibly premium-soft to the touch and super comfortable to hold. Unlike those slick plastic cases, this one gives me a secure grip, even when my hands are a bit wet or dry.I really love the attention to detail, especially with the metal buttons and camera frame, which add a nice touch of elegance. Despite being slim, it offers solid protection for daily use. It might not be the most shockproof case, but it does a great job against normal wear and tear.The best part? The self-healing feature is like magic-small scratches just disappear with a quick wipe. Every part of this case feels thoughtfully designed and looks great.I'm usually picky about case buttons since they can feel stiff or unresponsive. But the buttons on this case are perfectly tactile, just as good as the original ones on my phone-maybe even better.It fits my phone snugly, so I know it's secure. Though I will say, it's a bit tricky to take off, which can be annoying for someone like me who switches cases often. But I guess that's also a good thing since it means the phone won't accidentally fall out.Overall, I'm really happy with it!

My case arrived today, and I immediately put it on my iPhone 16 Pro. I was immediately impressed with the quality of construction; the other reviewers are right about that.Unfortunately, I can't get my Apple Mag Safe charger to work. Part of the issue is that the leather is too thick for the magnets to stick. I tried holding it on manually (and even tried holding the charger on using rubber bands), but had no luck even getting the phone to recognize there was a charger connected. I took the case off and tried the charger again just to make sure the charger was working -- it works just fine -- but I lost the ability to charge once the case was back on.Since one of the main reasons I went with this case was that it was advertised as "Compatible with Magsafe," to say that it was a disappointment is an understatement. I'll look around to try to find a different case that actually does work with magsafe charging. This one was a waste of money.

The case has a narrow piece above the camera button. When removing the case this piece naturally flexes quite a bit because it is by far the weakest part. Unfortunately that piece broke and now it snags when sliding in and out of my pocket.UPDATE - 12/13/24 - Belemay reached out and offered a full refund and apologized for the broken case. I asked for a replacement instead and they quickly sent a new one. I have a reminder to update this review in 3 months to report on the durability of the replacement case. I've updated my rating to 4 ⭐️. Overall I love the leather and the original case was starting to have a nice patina. It's just the weak point by the camera button that has me concerned. I'll keep you updated.

This case offers good craftsmanship and thoughtful design, offering both elegance and functionality. The leather is of extremely high quality and its odor is a quick give away (distinct, natural, organic scent. Fake leather often smells like chemicals or plastic). The case fits the iPhone 16 Pro seamlessly, ensuring all buttons and ports are easily accessible (the cut out of the new camera button is slightly difficult to press at a times but the learning curve is not steep). I’ve had it for a few days so far and would 100% recommend. I used to buy Apple’s leather cases and this is by far much better.

I got the case exactly one month ago along with a case for my AirPods Pro and Apple Watch. But the phone case is so fragile, just ripped out of no where few days ago. I tried to find a way to contact this vendor if anything could be done but no luck. Once again been only 30 days. Let’s see if the company does right and sends me a replacement

Case itself looks fairly nice, leather looks and feels good. I was hoping to like the brown more in person but I would've preferred something darker or lighter. Buttons are decent, clicky, though the power button felt slightly muted compared to running it naked. Case fits very snugly and I was a little concerned about damaging a button while taking the case off... you're going to putting this one on and off regularly.The biggest ding against it is that the camera cutout is not tapered; it's just one long hole that makes it very difficult to press the camera control button. That button already requires a little too much force to click, but with this case you'd have to push quite hard to get through the case and actuate the button, which moves the phone and may make you more liable to drop it if you get bumped or something while putting pressure on it. As well, it's almost impossible to use the sliding motions to change settings with the button.I've decided to return mine due to the compromised ergonomics of camera control, lackluster button feel, and mediocre brown color. Some people will have no issues with this but I wanted to add my two cents.

1 year review. I have dropped it countless times, spills, auto repair YouTube in the garage. The phone case of a busy dad, that gets clumsy sometimes.What a great case, protected my phone and loved the patina change the longer I had it. I didn’t need to change it, I just wanted to start fresh with a new one to make this review. Worth it, buy this case!
