The iPhone 16 series is now official, and the base model is the smallest yet packs a lot of punch. It includes a handful of new features, including the camera control button and, of course, Apple Intelligence. So, if you can’t wait to get one for yourself, consider pairing it with a nice case to preserve your investment. We’ve compiled a list of some of the top cases for iPhone 16 below.
1. Spigen Tough Armor (MagFit)
Spigen is a well-known phone cover brand that many new iPhone customers rely on. Their Tough Armor case for the iPhone 16 provides adequate protection for your device, including impact foam padding inside the shell. While the outside TPU shell absorbs large impacts. It features accurate cuts and raised edges to protect the screen. The case also includes a pull-out kickstand and MagSafe compatibility, allowing you to wirelessly charge and access your accessories without removing them.
2. Incipio Sensor for MagSafe
If you’re environmentally cautious or just like slim soft-touch cases, then you’ll love this one. The Incipio Sensor case is made out of 60% recycled silicon. It has a raised-edges design that safeguards your screen from drops and scratches. Plus, it also features camera protection for your iPhone 16’s lenses. The material is anti-fingerprint, so don’t worry about leaving any evidence on the case. And like Spigen, it is also MagSafe compatible.
3. Supcase Unicorn Beetle Mag
If you want to flaunt your iPhone 16’s new colors, then going with a clear case would be an obvious option. In that scenario, how about you check out the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Mag? Unusual name aside, it offers overall protection for your iPhone, with raised bumpers on the side to protect the device from accidental drops. It has precise cutouts for ports and buttons and supports all the MagSafe accessories. In fact, you can use the MagSafe ring as a kickstand.
4. Woodcessories Walnut Bumper Case
This vintage walnut wood case is one of the best-looking cases in my opinion. This handmade case is also made out of recycled silicon, which protects against drops of up to 2 meters. But that highlight is obviously the wooden back, which provides a surreal premium feeling, bringing you closer to nature. It doesn’t add much weight to your iPhone 16 and supports MagSafe.
5. UAG Plasma XTE Case
If a silicon bumper isn’t enough for you and you need something more rugged and durable than this UAG Plasma XTE case should be on your radar. UAG makes the best, toughest cases out there and has been doing so for years. This case is no different as it provides proper cushioning to your iPhone 16 so it doesn’t break easily. Its design is also pretty cool looking, though it does add a bit more heft to the phone. Like the Supcase, you can use the MagSafe ring as a kick-stand here too.
6. Caseology Capella Mag
Caseology’s Capella Mag is the right fit if you’re not a big fan of using cases. This transparent silicon case is the bare minimum protection that you can get for your iPhone 16 to keep it looking like new for the first few months. Plus, it lets you flaunt the original color of the phone. It is extremely lightweight and compatible with MagSafe, so you can continue using accessories with the case on.
7. OtterBox Commuter Series
Like Spigen, OtterBox is another reliable option for some excellent quality cases. Their Commuter series of cases will be a perfect casing for your new iPhone 16 with its dual-layer protection, that not only takes on the drop impact but also cushions the phone with its rubber internals. Sandwiched between these two layers are the magnets that allow for MagSafe compatibility. Like the name suggests, the Commuter cases are perfect for everyday use without worrying about denting your new device.
8. Casetify Force Case
Casetify’s Force case wraps your iPhone 16 in a polycarbonate casing that can take up damage from a fall of 6.6 ft. This is a lightweight cover with thick bumpers covering the sides of the phone and raised edges at the front, and surrounding the camera bump with the iconic “Casetify” branding. It also has built-in magnets, making it compatible with all the MagSafe accessories you have.
9. Benks Montage Armor Pro Case
Benks Montage Armor Pro case is made with Dupont Kevlar, the same material used in bulletproof vests. So you can already imagine how effective it is going to be when it comes to keeping your iPhone 16 secure from heavy impacts. Another big advantage of molding the case out is it has a slim profile, adding little to no heft to the phone. It has raised edges covering the screen and the cameras, and supports MagSafe. But everything aside, this case is worth getting just for its tactical appeal.
10. OtterBox Defender Series
We have one more OtterBox case before we bring this list to a stop, and this time it is the OtterBox Defender Series. As you can tell from the image itself, it has a thick outer skin that can take three times as many drops as the military standard, making it one of the most durable cases we have on the list. Other than that, it has a textured finish providing a good grip so falls, and accidental drops are less likely to happen. And if your phone does slip from your hands, then the inner soft cushioning will protect it from taking any damage.
So these are the best picks that we can find for you. Notice how every one of them supports MagSafe, that is because now it has become an essential part of the iPhone’s ecosystem, so no matter which case you pick, you should be able to slap your MagSafe accessories without a thought.
