Tech 21 have been my go to for YEARS - this year, they've failed. They have changed the Camera Control button cut out from last year - this year the top and bottom parts of the cut out the slope down to the button cutout, so the thin bit of the case at the top where the case meets the screen is as long as that section - last year that thin bit was just as long as the actual camera button. This means that the very narrow piece of plastic between the screen and the camera button is extremely long and VERY flimsy - I will give it a week before it snaps. It's also right where you put your thumb to hold the phone, so it flexes back away from the phone when holding it. Last years 16 model cases just had a cut out around the camera button, so that piece of plastic between the button and the screen was much thicker and not an issue, and use of the Camera button was not hindered in any way so why Tech 21 thought they had to add the "slopes" down to the button is beyond me - clearly it was not tested in any way. Why they can't just include a camera control button like EFM or Otterbox or Apple's own case? Pure laziness and greed my guess is. This is the first year that I'm not using a Tech 21 case since my iPhone 11. Really really disappointed.
