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

[HouseofG]

Have a case with the copper rods in the Capture button and it's going back. Feels like I can feel the ends of the copper on the inside and even though the button is sapphire crystal, I don't want that pushing and rubbing on it. Would rather a cut out than a case with that solution.

Is that the supcase? Didn't have high hopes for that one.

My Spigen Glas-TR are already here and waiting for the new phone. I'm currently using them on my 13 Pro and wife's 12, I like that they're so easy to install, always line up perfectly, and hold up well.

They last forever, but the oleophobic coating eventually starts getting less effective (my phone gets dirty a lot and I'll wipe the screen down with whatever I have handy, which probably doesn't help), so I'll occasionally put a fresh one on just for that reason. I don't mind changing them out, it's easy and they're not that expensive.

I used the Spigen screen protectors on my 12PM, but got a great deal on the ESR protectors for my 14PM... Just received my ESR protectors for the 16PM...

Just ordered this Torras case for my Titanium Black 16 PM. It’ll be here tomorrow. Gotta love Amazon.

Here’s my haul

She’s gorgeous! And so big, haha

Nice, where do they ship from? I want to order that lime green one but it's already backordered.

USA I think, but I’m in UK and it’s always been quick.

Wow, beautiful!

Yeah, love the look and the sides are sturdy. It's just I don't trust the Camera button and the frosted back is the easy to mark when installing type.
Best frosted cases I've found are the Benks Mist & Torras. Out of those the Benks comes top.

I’m all ready to go for 09/20 delivery of my 256GB 16 Pro (Black Titanium) with a custom case, screen protector and camera lens protector! Between ESR and Torras screen protectors I’ve never gone wrong — I have a black border Torras screen protector coming soon and will compare/return the other screen protector that won’t look as good. 😌

Where's the Nomad Rugged in ultra orange?

Did the fix the cutouts on the bottom yet?

Have had the ultra orange rugged for the last two iPhones. Love them but wish there was a little bit of grip added to the sides.

I only use screen protectors with black borders - there’s no other way.
Torras’s has the border, who else does as well?

Good deal. The camera lens protector, however, seems unnecessary - in 15+ years of smartphone ownership, I've never suffered a scratched, cracked or otherwise damaged lens, but I suspect that anything you put in front of the lens is likely to have a negative effect on every photo you take. The lenses are made of sapphire crystal and are extremely scratch-resistant, but anything placed in front of them is going to cause at least some amount of distortion.

It's all about tradeoffs, I guess. I, for one, would rather run the extremely slight risk of damage to a lens, but maintain optimal optical quality for my photos. If one lens does somehow get damaged, there are two others that can be used while I await an Applecare+ repair, but once the quality of a photo is compromised because of non-optical-quality glass that's placed in front of the lens, there's no fixing that.

Oh I’m aware, it’s more of an OCD thing in my case. If I’m going to spend so much on a piece of tech I use on a daily basis, I want to protect my investment as much as possible within reason. I’ve never had the camera lens protectors affect my camera quality for photos or videos, so I’m sure it’ll be okay. 😁

I ordered the Beats iphone case. I did not realize that the bottom was open when I ordered it. Then I also saw some pictures someone posted online. I didn’t like what I saw. So I ordered the Apple silicon case. They both came in today and I took a few pictures side by side. The Beats case is glossy and looks “plasticky” to me. I don’t like the glossy shine, plastic feel or the open bottom. I will say though that that the side of the Beats case feels more sturdy than the side of the Apple silicon case. However, I will be returning the Beats case and keep the silicon case for now. As other have posted, maybe some of the other case makers will have the camera button issues worked out soon (That is if there are any issues).

So, I ordered the Mous Limitless 6.0 in Stone, instead of the Clarity 3.0. Much better!

And I also needed a Clear Case. After reading the reviews, I thought the ZAGG Santa Cruz Snap would be a good choice. It feels sturdy, no scratches, so I will give it a go when my iPhone comes in, coming Friday.

I like the grip on the side. I wish Phone Rebel made a clear case this year, but they only offer a frosted one. No idea when they will start selling them.

What is she? 😀

Otterbox Lumen! The only case aside from apple silicone to have a camera button cover. Cheaper from apple than the otterbox site.

Wow that’s really pink! I wish they had pictures of it with the pink phone. I think it’ll look awesome with the white!

And the Beats (Apple) polycarbonate cases – they have a sapphire-covered button like the mainline Apple cases.

I don’t see spigens one on their website or Amazon us

Sooo....the opinion here is that ESR Armorite or any other screen protector without a black border will...have light bleed??

No... that was one guy's opinion... I've had no issue, ever.
