Great Case, just not a great iPhone/Pro 16 Case

I've owned a couple Peak cases and it's been nice to see how the overall design and finishes have gotten progressively nicer. That trend continues on the new 16 cases however the choice to have a cutout for the new camera control button is a miss for me. I understand cases get rushed for new phones but feel like this choice, at this price point, could've benefited from some internal usability testing.
Having recently changed from an iPhone 13 to a 16 I needed a replacement protective case and one which would work with my Peak Design motorcycle mount, so the PD case was the obvious choice. I was very pleased with my previous PD case, in particular how easy it was to attach to the motorcycle mount with just one hand, and also the fact the mount itself is damped to prevent unnecessary vibrations damaging the phone. The iPhone 16 case has all the benefits of the earlier version and is just as stylish and well made. Another useful feature is just how slim the case is when in your pocket. Other motorcycle cases/mounts are quite bulky in comparison.
Just bought this (and the new phone), but it seems excellent -- particularly, of course, for the flexibility of being able to attach to other components. The only flaw (though a significant one, in my case) is that the back magnet is significantly weaker than with my old Apple case for affixing my old magnetic wallet thingy. (Yes, I could buy the PD one and latch it on ... but I was really trying to minimize how many new accessories I buy.)
