Cracking the screen on my iPhone 16 Plus has been a harsh reality check. While Apple claims the Ceramic Shield glass on the iPhone 16 range is stronger than before, a 4-foot drop was enough to shatter the display on my unit. This is why I always recommend a case or a screen protector to guard your expensive new iPhone.
There are numerous cases available for iPhone owners, with over 70 cases in my office from various brands. I have sifted through every one of them to find the best iPhone 16 cases worth your time and money, whether you bought the iPhone 16 or the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Cases aren’t just about protection—they’re tools to personalize your phone.
When testing cases, I closely examine every port and cutout to ensure it isn’t covered up by the case. I test all the buttons, make sure the new Camera Control button still works fine, and check how raised the edges around the display and cameras are.
Almost all the cases recommended here have MagSafe magnets embedded inside them, ensuring perfect compatibility with MagSafe accessories. Additional factors to consider include price and style, as there are many unattractive cases available.
