The iPhone 16 series is here and like every year, Apple has launched four different models. But if you have liked the Plus variant and are planning to buy one, you should also consider getting a good case. In this article, we will show you 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
ESRGear’s Cloud Soft is a soft-touch silicone case that is easy to hold, doesn’t dig into your hands, and doesn’t feel irritating to hold after a while. As you might have noticed, the camera cutout has metal edges, which not only helps protect the phone’s camera during a drop, but also works as a kickstand so you can easily view content wherever you go.
2. Otterbox Symmetry Transparent Series
Otherbox Symmetry is one of the best slim and lightweight cases as it has a unique translucent design and different color options to match the colors of your iPhone 16 Plus. They look quite modern and stylish, especially the bumpers, which are also impact-resistant so they can take a few knocks while protecting your iPhone from any damage. It also has a MagSafe ring so it works with all compatible accessories.
3. Spigen Tough Armor (MagFit)
Spigen’s Rugged Armor strikes a nice balance between a slim, lightweight, and rugged case design. Unlike other rugged cases, it doesn’t add much bulk to your iPhone 16 Plus while still offering plenty of protection thanks to its durable TPU body. It also has strips on the sides so you can keep a good grip on your phone and not drop it often.
4. UAG Pioneer
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 prime example. This rugged case is heavy but offers complete protection from all sides. This is made possible by its reinforced TPU bumpers that absorb and disperse impacts. Plus, you have to admit that it looks like it, and it may not look like it from the outside, but it has MagSafe support.
5. Parallax Mag Caseology
Caseology’s Parallax Mag is anything but conventional. You can already see that the back of the case has this 3D parallax effect, but the top and sides also have different textures, making the case extremely grippy. That, in addition, offers good overall security for your iPhone 16 Plus when you place it on a table thanks to its raised lips. Its design is also reminiscent of old Macintosh computers. And yes, it includes MagSafe.
6. D Brand Grip Case
This is the most expensive case we’ve included on this list, but it’s also one of the most popular options among tech enthusiasts. D Brand’s grip cases offer a lightweight yet grippy design due to its textured shell and strip design on both sides, making it less likely that you’ll drop your phone. The case is only 2mm thick and has military-grade impact resistance. The best part is that you can choose from a variety of different backplates for the case, and it’s MagSafe compatible.
7. Benks Pro Mounting Armor
Just like John Wick, if you also want to dress up your new iPhone 16 Plus in a tactical outfit, then this Montage Armor Pro case from Benks is the right suit for the occasion. It is made from Kevlar, which is not only durable but also super slim and lightweight. This way, you get better protection for your device, without adding any extra bulk to it. Then there are magnets on the back so you can use all the MagSafe accessories at your disposal.
8. UAG Plasma XTE
Those of you who enjoy rugged cases or want to take your iPhone 16 Plus on an adventure should definitely pick up the Plasma XTE from UAG. This case has fairly thick bumpers covering all sides of the device, raised edges around the display and the 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 and about. But if you want a case that will keep you stress-free about dropping your iPhone, this is a top contender alongside the Pathfinder.
9. Speck Candyshell Grip Case
This Candyshell case from Speck is a good protective cover that has dual-layer protection that can withstand an impact of up to 8 feet of drop, as claimed by the company. It has a grippy design thanks to the grooves present on both sides, precise cutouts for the camera and the new camera button, along with the rest of the ports, thick bezels, and a minimalist aesthetic. And don’t be fooled by its appearance, as it hides the MagSafe magnets between its two layers.
10. Supcase Rugged Case
If you are planning to go on an adventure sports trip or have kids at home, this Heavy Duty Rugged case is the one to get with your iPhone 16 Plus. First of all, unlike most other cases, it even covers the camera button while still allowing you to use its full functionality. It has 2mm raised edges, so your phone doesn’t get scratched by tiny particles. So, it can withstand a drop from 20 feet. And despite its thick exterior, it can securely attach to all your MagSafe accessories.
These are the best cases for a variety of styles and needs. You can choose the one you think best suits your phone. Since the phone has just been released at the time of writing this post, some cases may be more expensive than usual; however, if you buy one later, you may be able to get one for less.
