The iPhone 16 series is here and like every year, Apple has released four different models. But if you have developed a penchant for the Plus variant and are planning to buy one, you should also consider getting a good case for it. In this article, we will be taking you through some of the best iPhone 16 Plus cases available to protect your new smartphone. Let’s check them out below.
1. ESR Cloud Soft Case
The ESRGear Cloud Soft is a soft-touch silicone case that’s easy to hold and won’t dig into your hands or become itchy after a while. As you may have noticed, the camera cutout has metal edges, which not only protects the phone’s camera in the event of a drop, but also doubles as a kickstand so you can watch content with ease wherever you go.
2. Otterbox Symmetry Series Clear
Otherbox Symmetry is one of the best thin and lightweight cases because it has a unique translucent design and different color options to match the colors of your iPhone 16 Plus. They look pretty trendy and neat, especially the bumpers, which are also shockproof so they can take a few hits while protecting your iPhone from any damage. It also has a MagSafe ring to work with all supported accessories.
3. Spigen Rugged Armor (MagFit)
Spigen’s Rugged Armor case strikes a good balance between a slim, lightweight, and rugged design. Unlike other rugged cases, it doesn’t add much bulk to your iPhone 16 Plus, while still providing good protection thanks to its durable TPU body. It also features side strips so you can get a good grip on your phone and avoid dropping it often.
4. UAG Pathfinder
If you want complete protection for your iPhone 16 Plus, look no further than UAG. They make some of the toughest phone cases around and the Pathfinder is a good example. This rugged case is heavy but offers complete protection on all sides. This is made possible by its reinforced TPU bumpers that absorb and disperse impacts. Plus, you have to admit that it looks, and it may not seem like it from the outside, but it does have MagSafe support.
5. Caseology Parallax Mag
The Caseology Parallax Mag is anything but conventional. You can already see that the back of the case features this 3D parallax effect, but the top and sides also have different textures, making the case extremely grippy. Plus, it offers good overall security for your iPhone 16 Plus when you lay it flat on a table thanks to its raised edges. Its design is also reminiscent of old Macintosh computers. And yes, it includes MagSafe.
6. D brand handle case
This is the most expensive case we’ve featured on this list, but it’s also one of the most popular options among tech enthusiasts. D Brand’s anti-slip cases offer a lightweight yet grippy design due to their textured casing and striped design on each side, which reduces the risk of dropping your phone. The case is only 2mm thick and offers military-grade impact resistance. The best part is that you can choose from a variety of different back plates for the case, and it’s MagSafe compatible.
7. Benks Montage Armor Pro
If you also want to dress your new iPhone 16 Plus in a tactical outfit, like John Wick, this Montage Armor Pro case from Benks is the perfect combination for the occasion. It is made of Kevlar, which is not only durable, but also ultra thin and light. This gives you better protection for your device, without adding bulk. Then, there are magnets on the back so you can use all the MagSafe accessories at your disposal.
8. UAG Plasma XTE
If you like rugged cases or want to take your iPhone 16 Plus on an adventure, you should definitely pick up the UAG Plasma XTE. This case has fairly thick bumpers that cover all sides of the device, raised edges around the screen and camera bump. There’s also a foldable MagSafe ring that can double as a kickstand if you decide to take a break and watch some content while you’re out. But if you want a case that doesn’t require you to worry about dropping your iPhone, this is one of the top contenders along with the Pathfinder.
9. Speck Candyshell Grip Case
This Candyshell case from Speck is a good protective case with dual-layer protection that can withstand an impact of up to 8 feet of drop, as the company claims. It has a grippy design thanks to the grooves present on both sides, precise cutouts for the camera and the new camera button, as well as for the rest of the ports, thick bezels and a minimalist aesthetic. And don’t let its appearance fool you, because it hides the MagSafe magnets between its two layers.
10. Supcase Rugged and Durable Case
If you’re planning on going on an adventure trip or have kids at home, this rugged and durable case is the one you should buy with your iPhone 16 Plus. First of all, unlike most other cases, it even covers the camera button while still allowing you to use all of its features. Its 2mm raised edges ensure your phone won’t be scratched by tiny particles. Second, it can withstand a 20-foot drop. And despite its thick exterior, it can securely attach to all of your MagSafe accessories.
So, here are the best cases for a variety of styles and needs. You can choose the one that you think will fit your phone the best. Since the phone has just been released at the time of writing, some cases may be more expensive than usual. However, if you buy one later, you may be able to get a cheaper one.
