iPhone 16/Plus/Pro/Pro Max cases [MERGED]

Black Caudabe Synthesis is my jam

How is everyone dealing with the camera cutouts on cases? Just got a Caudabe Sheath after using an Apple Silicone case since launch and I’m wondering if you get used to it. It’s kinda annoying in the hand.

Just out of curiosity I tried a few cases with cutouts but returned all of them. Didn’t like the look, feel, or diminished functionality. I’m probably going to settle on a couple of Apple Silicones and the two Spigen T series cases (Ultra Hybrid, Tough Armor), at least until some of the other companies update their offerings.

Is that Spigen you rocking?

Keeper? or No Keeper?

Yea, it's a good case. Back is slick but the sides are grippy, texture like a cat's tongue on the sides.
Very tight fitting case

The screen protector I'm using is the ESR Armorite and I need to replace it. The light bleed and rainbow edges are driving me crazy. Have the Spigen GlasTR on deck and will change it out soon.

Man I need a mix of the phonerebel air2 and the frosty. This air2 feels so good in the hand!

I’m extremely happy with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T MagFit, Spigen Camera Lens Screen Protector, Spigen GlasTR EZ Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Spigen Thin Fit Case and Spigen EZ Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector and Spigen O-Mag Ring.

As promised here are pictures of my iPhone 16 Pro Max and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in Titanium.

Heh im just returning my black silicon apple case today, swapped over to the beats awaiting a decent leather case with an actual button.

What made you switch to the beats case? It piqued my interest

Spigen Ultra Hybrid T in frosted black. I much prefer this one over the Otterbox Lumen, and it might even end up displacing the Apple Silicone. Good fit, good buttons (though would prefer floaters), grippy enough without being overly sticky, smooth and comfortable in the hand, and doesn’t seem to be a fingerprint magnet. The Camera Control button may be even better than Apple’s version (easier to press, more responsive to swipes), which doesn’t make sense but seems to be the case. Overall a very nice case.

Just got my ultra hybrid t in frost black and am loving it as well. Wish it were matte black around the sides but otherwise I love it

If you sell this please let me know. I went to,buy it and it’s back ordered so I got the blue/teal color.

The first armorite I installed has this issue as well. So I ripped it off and installed one of the other 3 it came with. The second one I used has zero issues with rainbow edges. Give it a go

i got the benks armorair montage today. i like minimal cases. i want openings somewhere so when i wipe the screen there is an exit point. if i’m gonna have a case for me screen protection so i can place face down on a table is necessary. if not, why not just go caseless. like i tried the nudient case (black w/ red nudient written on back) and it doesn’t provide any screen protection. the benks might just be the perfect case for me. all four corners have a slight hump providing that lay on table protection. extremely minimal case. fits great, looks nice. i will try to post some photos tomorrow.

Looks good, I’ll probably end up with one of these. Would rather the all clear case, but with the black MagSafe ring. A shame it’s not an option. Still waiting on my black pro max, so have time to decide if I’ll go black, or cop the white ring for the clear case.

Can’t wait to receive mine with the exact same black color titanium iPhone 16PM. This year I think that the Caudabe case is not so good unfortunately

Air2 has the best camera control cut out so far. Really well designed.

Is this tight along the sides and bottom like the lumen ? Or does it have some give ? Thanks

That pic got me ordering one! Looks good on the black phone.
Hoping I don't get the ick with the shiny TPU but gunna try it. 🙈

Added bonus of a couple of waterproof bags free with it, that may never get used but defo sweetened the deal.

The Spigen Tough Armor T delivery date on Amazon UK has shortened to a couple of days now. Will try the Ultra Hybrid T first.

Ordered the benks vitapro. Really hoping I like it as the colour is lovely (when for the mint green).

It’s not Synthesis tight, but tight enough in my opinion. It gives a little over the port, but not any more than most cases.

I have the Lumen right now and don’t mind it. What are the main positives you see with the Spigen over the Lumen?

I’ve noticed a little bit of dust on the back of the case but don’t mind. Enjoying the fit, buttons, and look.
