I Tested 12 Leather Cases for iPhone 16 - Here Are the Best

[@timnadeau1250]

I couldn’t agree more. I bought the Ryan London after your last review and couldn’t be happier.

[@beardfm]

I’m loving mine too!

[@randy8978-z5e]

Is the thin piece but the camera cut out too weak ? I saw a video of someone and theirs broke 😮

[@ishmaelpeavy4507]

Is it true that the buttons aren’t clicky?

[@timnadeau1250]

@ I haven’t had a problem with the buttons. They are very clicky and easy to press.

[@blk_rfl_outdrs]

Watching this after buying my second keyway. I had it on my 14pm and now my 16 pm. Mine for the 16pm feels amazing. The grain isn't as prominent as bullstrap, but this one has way more grain detail than the one for my 14pm. Due to their price and quality, they have quickly become my favorite leather cases. Great video!

[@milespogi]

I absolutely love the camera control button-it’s my most-used button! 🙌🙌 If you’re into shooting and capturing moments, you’ll know exactly what I mean. Kudos to Apple 🙌🙌🙌

[@beardfm]

Interesting to hear!

[@christopherchan9868]

I bought the Ryan London case for my 16 Pro Max after your previous review and love it! Also, the best leather conditioner I've tried on it is Bickmore Bick4. Follow the directions on the bottle and the case comes out feeling absolutely amazing.

[@beardfm]

That's great to hear! I'll have to check out that leather conditioner.

[@zakirahmedshaik6870]

Nice video. I recently purchased a Le Pelle case. It is really nice leather case. How about Vionentus case?

[@Hansanaw]

I have the Bellroy. Love it.

[@alberto.zanardo]

Thanks for your videos, I love your content! Which leather case do you think is the thinnest/adds less volume to the phone?

[@beardfm]

The mujjo cases are actually the thinnest, I covered those in my first video. Otherwise the nomad modern may be a good option

[@mqmoon]

I have the open bottom Ryan London case and the camera control cutout has the same misalignment you noted on other cases. Their customer support claimed that this was necessary for the structural integrity of the case. Not sure I buy it.

[@mqmoon]

And regardless of the reason, it makes the camera control button basically unusable.

[@beardfm]

Weird, sounds fishy

[@pranavsachdeva1141]

I have tried so many leather cases in last 2 years, but definitely apple leather cases were the best, really miss having them now

[@beardfm]

Trying out a Ryan London case this week *wish* camera button...will let you know how it is!

[@Akki-h4m]

I've been using a casebelle vintage leather case, Leather is soft and honestly, the best cutout and packaging blew me away for the price. Might be worth checking out

[@yashaswirajdeshabattini5516]

Please make a top 5 best magsafe wallets video In my opinion 2nd best would be the loft tripod thing

[@marksuter1983]

I’m enjoying the nomad leather back

[@beardfm]

Love that too!

[@sergiy31777]

Thanks for hands on review! Was looking for quality leather Case 16pro , got one off your link below ⬇️.

[@BalrogWing]

I have a bullstrap case and love it. They also replaced it for free (just paid shipping) when the first one got messed up.

[@beardfm]

I love the lifetime warranty idea, and if iPhones still were designed where you could use the same case at least two years in a row it’d be even more worth it

[@hirobnet]

I bought a LONLI Classic after a long research. I like their Brown case camera ring matching to my desert titanium color and they do not put their logo on the case. It is so minimalistic design, and it is less expensive than other competitors.

[@williammckee5505]

My Ryan London black case came looking horrible. The return process was awful. So I’ll have to just take an L on it. I have both Keyway and Andar. Keyway seems more “grippy” which I want. I did hear that leather as you use will get really grippy after a while. Nice video!

[@beardfm]

Sorry for that Ryan London experience! Strange. Keyway and Andar are great though

[@jf80393]

You should review the new closed bottom case by Bullstrap. Mine just arrived and it’s near perfect only thing missing is a CC button. Otherwise perfect.

[@beardfm]

Hm may have to try, the camera button is an issue on all leather cases unfortunately.

[@KingTechHD]

I’m waiting for the camera control options. Probably the 17 series. Great video though

[@Wärkky90]

I hope that this button is no longer in 17 models. A completely useless button.

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it!

[@Checkbacksoon]

With the Ryan London, is it better to get thinner shell case cover with or without metal? It’s confusing

[@pranavsachdeva1141]

I have nomad traditional horween leather case for my 16 pro max, it is definitely good, may not be the best, so you may get that and update your list.

[@daniellepadilla6986]

Hey sorry off topic but is it possible to get a notification using shortcut when my airpods charged to 80%?

[@cdub702]

Lucky coin is also a great option that’s extremely budget friendly.

[@beardfm]

Hadn’t heard of that one! Good call

[@Wärkky90]

Decoded looks best. camera protection is very good and screen lip.

[@beardfm]

If you like the camera ring they’re great cases!

[@dean_winchester007]

Ryan London is top tier

[@DereckWall-k3j]

Thanks for the forecast! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@i.ivan0920]

After watching your last I already get a Ryan London case! But do you recommend an open end case ? Btw what’s ur watch strap?

[@beardfm]

It’s the Apple titanium ultra Milanese! And I like closed bottom for leather cases personally

[@i.ivan0920]

Thanks for the reply. I am thinking to purchase the Apple milanese watch strap. Will you have review on the watch straps?

[@sevecc]

The video we’ve all been waiting for 🙌 Btw does anyone know how to order keyway being in the EU? 😬

[@beardfm]

Do they not ship there?? 😩

[@geektarded]

Do you happen to know what brand/model of glasses you are wearing?

[@beardfm]

Warby Parker Gillian!

[@geektarded]

thanks man!

[@Zyres77]

Really wish you got a nomad traditional for comparison

[@linhunnicutt6556]

I have the nomad traditional in the genuine leather, and it is very similar looking to the Andor. The cut out is very similar to the Andor and the one I have is the genuine leather in the English tan color and it's very sharp and the leather it feels very soft. I'm eventually going to get the whole rustic brown in the traditional case because it is sharp looking and well-made. My only right with no meds cases is that I feel like the magnet is a little weak when you compare it to the and our Aspen and the bull strap.

[@beardfm]

I’m gonna have to get one to try…

[@sevecc]

It’s awesome, easy recommendation 🙌

[@KhalidAdriano]

Casetify bioveg leather cases aren’t worth it?

[@i.ivan0920]

Will you review those with camera control button ?

[@beardfm]

I will, got one on the way actually 😏

[@Wärkky90]

You should remember that the ryan londo base is easily disintegrated by the camera button.

[@gabrielortiz-qx2sn]

Great video! God bless you sir!

[@udainani1602]

you should check sandmarc leather case which comes with camera control button.

[@beardfm]

I do have one and the leather isn’t as nice as some of these, but I also have on with camera control on the way. No eta yet though

[@mikea8294]

The Ryan London case in saddle brown is one of my favorite cases this year. The camera control cutout does not bother me either.

[@leavii5449]

They now have a version with a camera button🎉

[@leavii5449]

To bad they dont ship to my adress😕

[@pamkoakes]

I wish more case companies would make a camera control button. I’ll be sticking to those cases because it really does make a difference. Spigen and OtterBox each have one case. Like why? You know how to do it, why not put it on a few others? We kinda did this last year with the mute button. I miss Apples leather cases!

[@JoshHart97]

A review video of cases that provide a button on-top of the camera button would be amazing! I currently have the apple silicone case that has that, but I absolutely HATE the texture and feel of silicone cases… Getting rid of apple leather cases was the worst call they have made. 😭

[@beardfm]

Agreed! And I wish there were more options but will see what’s out there for buttons

[@anemon8333]

I dont see the discount of keyway by the way.

[@beardfm]

I don’t have any discounts there but on the site I think they’re running Black Friday sales

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

[@beardfm]

Appreciate it! Same to you!

[@_pikachu_6378]

Did u try the dreem Fibonacci compatible with iPhone 16 Pro Max wallet case / 2-in-1 shockproof case and detachable

[@beardfm]

I haven’t even heard of that! Will try to get my hands on it

[@Simonal777]

Apparently Ryan London have added a camera control button to your perfect case….❤️❤️❤️ (just seen another review…😮)

[@beardfm]

Getting one very soon to try 😏

[@DifferentAverage]

Can't believe they still haven't made one with a camera control button yet.

[@nchia]

No chapters?

[@beardfm]

Ah shoot I forgot! Was editing at midnight 😅 they’re there now

[@MasonI24]

I wish these case companies would have the option for a case that completely covers up the camera control as if it wasn’t there. I literally never use it

[@Wärkky90]

Camera Cut Out ruins the whole case. I hope that button. I hope that this button is no longer in 17 models. A completely useless button, nothing else, nothing else.

[@beardfm]

Honestly, not a bad idea

[@rrrq9104]

@@Wärkky90IF you don’t take pictures… I like camera button

[@EZ_Case]

There are plenty of cases that cover up the camera button.

[@JSpiffy]

@@EZ_Case can you name a few ? I don’t like the camera button

[@gorilla71161]

I just want the camera control button on there

[@beardfm]

Same…

[@atobg_]

What about blackbrook?

[@beardfm]

I tested their case last year but wasn’t crazy about the feel. Will try to get my hands on one for the 16

[@Erik.Lundberg]

I'm not entirely happy with how Ryan London has done the leather around the buttons. Could have been better done. By the way, Jun (General Manager) wrote to me that they will add a real camera button to the case in late December.

[@beardfm]

I will be watching closely for the real camera button!

[@mOo84]

Apple Silicone (yes, with all the lint attracting issues) until someone releases a leather case with a proper capacitive camera button. Cutout is a deal breaker.

[@beardfm]

I use the silicone too for water activities and when I don’t want to get the leather dirty. It’s not too bad

[@atobg_]

Idk why none are on Amazon

[@beardfm]

These case makers are more “artisanal” I guess? So they mostly sell on their own sites

[@brianclark919]

It’s a shame Ryan London stops stocking older models

[@anemon8333]

You dont have moft and mojji on your list

[@beardfm]

I covered those in the first video!

[@highnoon9333]

The title is a little misleading since none of these are actually for the iPhone 16. they’re all for the Pro Max, and Nomad doesn’t make most of their cases for the regular 16 or 16 plus.

[@beardfm]

You can get Nomad modern leather for iPhone 16 and Plus here, and all the brands I mentioned also offer cases for the 16: nomadgoods.com/products/modern-leather-case-brown-iphone-16-pro-max

[@cesarreinoso2203]

That decoded logo it’s awful

[@beardfm]

Yeah I really liked last year’s design

[@BladSpot]

Black Birkin bag, this is the first good choice I made. I can afford a Kelly bag in any color. If I were 25, I'd probably buy it. But now I consciously don't want to date a woman who has a Kelly and a Birkin. After coming into contact with kislux , I am more willing to invest the money saved in my own growth.
