Nice try, but no.

I bought this case immediately when the phone was released -- it would have been my third purchase of this case, having had it for the 14 and the 15. However, due to the disappointing cutout for the camera control, I had to return it and replace with an Apple case. Not only was it difficult to manipulate the camera control, but the sharp edges on either side of the cutout were painful. Bums me out since I have other accessories that depend on this case, and they are useless. We need a proper control like Apple and others are implementing.
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.
Picked this up for my new iPhone 16 Pro, and was going back and forth between the clarino and woven materials (like my last case). Clarino is awesome vegan leather so far. Love it!
I love the color and sturdiness of my new phone case. I was an original back of the mobile phone cases and when I updated my phone I knew I had to continue with Peak designs.
Initiated a return immediately. The product feels considerably cheap for the price and does not reflect the same level of quality I've come to expect from my Peak Design bag. The case I ordered was for the iPhone 16 Pro in Clarino Tan.
The case feels great, and the connections to all of the mounts I got with it feel really solid. I only have one complaint, but I have found a solution.
The power button becomes really sensitive with this case. You just have to casually graze it and it counts as a press. This can be fixed by removing a sticker/pad on the inside of the case's power button. I attached an image I found online. After removing this my power button is back to the same sensitivity it was without a case.
I don't know if Peak really wants us doing this, but I was on the verge of returning the whole system because of how easy it was to accidentally trip the power button. I'm not alone either, since I found this solution on Reddit where many people were complaining about the same thing
