Great Case - with one suggestion

I first purchased a Peak Design case for my iPhone 15 Pro Max about a year and I loved it. I purchased one for my 16 Pro Max as well and while I love the vegan leather, I really wish there was a camera control button cover like the OG Apple cases have. While I know the control button is more than a just a button (with it being touch sensitive for additional controls) it just feels odd to have a whole button exposed. I would absolutely purchase if PD rereleased with a button cover for the camera control.
I’m a loyal PD/Nomad phone case user. But this new case is beautifully designed. Easy to use and feels great to use. Very impressed. It works with all my PD accessories.
Bought this case and hate it for iPhone 16 launch day. Waited to comment on it - it’s about what I expect from Peak Design, however the lack of a camera button and no plans to add one make it very disappointing.
Brought vegan leather version for iPhone 16 Pro. Overall an excellent case, with strong magnets. I like the integration with the rest of the peak kit. The one area for improvement is the camera button. It is accomplished with a cutout instead of a capacitance button. The cutout is a bit awkward to use/access.
I have three kids and I drop my phone a lot. It’s held up great so I’m buying for my latest iPhone. The reason I bought it was so I could mount it to my bike. A bit pricey to get both but I’m happy the mount will work with my new case. That’s the best thing about Peak Design.
Overall, I really like this case in every aspect except for its ability to MagSafe charge. I got the one with the loop for my new iPhone 16 pro. However, there’s one giant flaw, and that is the camera bumper. It is positioned such that it pushes the phone out away from a MagSafe charger, which means it doesn’t sit flush, and negatively affects whether the phone will actually go into charging mode or not. When it falls in and out of charging mode all night long, it buzzes when it re-seats itself. I was going absolutely nuts trying to figure out why I was getting buzzed all night with notifications. Turns out it goes in and out of charging. This has caused lost sleep, wasted time with apple support, a phone that’s not fully charged in the morning, and now that I’ve figured out what’s going on, a really disappointed customer. So… great case, but buyer beware if you had hoped to successfully MagSafe charge with this case. :(
