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

[Zensō]

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.

The Spigen feels smoother around the back edge, less sticky overall, and shows fewer fingerprints. Its camera control button is slightly easier to press and more responsive to swipes. It also has stronger MagSafe magnets. It’s not loads better, but the differences do add up (for me). YMMV

Enjoy your case!

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.

Yeah I think I’m gonna have to return my Sheath. I can’t get used to the cutout.

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.

Canceled my Amazon order since the shipping was taking forever, but ordered off eBay after I read your post and it’ll be here on Thursday. Thanks for making me spend money

Replaced my Pitaka moonlight aramid fiber case with this Benks one. It improves on the nonexistent upper lip protection of the Pitaka while offering a better fit andna stronger MagSafe

What would you guys say is the best case at the moment for the 16 Pro in terms of offering good protection and has a nice feel in the hands/good grip?

Did they solve the MagSafe indentation issue this year?

That case looks slippery.
It is also very cheap at £18.00
Surely something is not right...

Finally my 16 Pro in my hands, currently with black Apple Silicone Case, waiting for alternative brands with CC button cover.

PS but are we really sure Caudabe is not trying? 🙏

What screen protector do you have installed?

Well, you convinced me! Just ordered an Ultra Hybrid T from Spigen on ebay. $22 w/tax + free shipping. Due Oct. 17-22.

My direct from Spigen Tough Armor T is en-route, but coming from CA to MA won't be here until Thursday.

Amazon purchase of Tough Armor still says "We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date." If Spigen direct gets here before Amazon ships, I'll probably just cancel the Amazon order.

This will be controversial on here! I know I'm in the minority in liking this sort of thing.... 🤣

My Suti PhoneBack order arrived yesterday, and I absolutely flippin love them!! I ended up settling on one on last year's 15 Pro but they only had leather and silicone versions then. I pre-ordered these the second they were released, absolutely love these materials.

The one on my phone is the NanoSuede in Polar Fleece colour. It's my favourite of the 4 so far.

In the picture of all 4 cases, L-R is Nano Suede Polar Fleece, NanoSuede Black, Carbon Fiber, and Clear.

(100% in no way am I linked to Suti, just absolutely love their product, and their founder Lon is really responsive on emails which I love).

Yup that’s a good looking product. Waiting for the brown nano leather one myself.

 

[VSMacOne]

Can someone with a Paragon and Apple Silicone post some comparison pics? Or some dimension info. Much appreciated!

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.

Does the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T Magfit have little air slits on the sides of the buttons? or are they sealed off? I wanted to get this case but it seemed like the buttons had slits for dust and stuff to get in...

I agree and for $22 it’s a no brainer …the best camera control cutout case I’ve used to date too. So smooth and comfortable in the hand. Grip is literally like sandpaper on the sides.

Too early to tell but after a few days I see no indentation. However I don’t get indentations with any cases with the TwelveSouth 3in1 I use

I’ve got a slight Indentation on mine, I ordered 2 since so cheap and both have the same thing. But it’s a non issue for me. Can barely tell. Amazing case.

I have a White iPhone 16 Pro with Spigen clear case with CC button. Also have the Apple Ultra Marine silicone case and I like the Spigen more.

Exactly the same set-up as I have, the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case with CC button is perfect, I can't fault it. At first, I had the version with a cut-out for the CC button, but I know that over time it would be a dust trap.

I need to stay off this thread. You all convinced me to grab the Ultra Hybrid T off eBay. It being cheaper than Amazon was also a factor.

Any Phone Rebel discount codes ?

 

[Hooterville]

Phone Rebel screwed me out of my free limited edition ultra camera ring/button set I preordered the frosty and paid for it on the very first day the pre orders went live and the site stated: FREE limited ultra set with preorder. Got my frosty with no limited edition set in the package. Email them and they said if I didn't add it to my cart that I'm SOL.
When I checked out there was no way to add this set to the cart Not too happy with PR at the moment.

Did anyone actually receive this free button set?

They did the same with me

Ultra Hybrid T just arrived.
Firstly the camera button works very well.
Very strong MagSafe.

The shiny TPU though.
Looks ok but that squeaky feel still goes through me a bit. It’s the way my fingers judder along it. Gives it more grip I guess.

Will stick with it for today to see if I can get used to it.

 

[Pug72]

Well, after using it just half an hour I’m going to return it. It’s making my hands clammy. 👎🏻

I really don’t get on with this material, hadn’t tried it in a while but yeah, not for me.

Will try the Tough Armor T instead.

 

[Sal09]

If you can get past CC cut out, then imo there is no better case out there than this fella.
