ESR for iPhone 16 Case, Compatible with MagSafe, Military-Grade Protective Case, Built-in Stash Stand Phone Case, Scratch-Resistant Back Cover, Classic Series, Clear

After spending a few hours reading case reviews I settled on the clear black case for my black iphone16. Not only is this case affordable but it’s unique in the way the stand is hidden in the camera guard. It doesn’t feel too heavy but offers good daily protection. I saw some people say the low angle of the phone stand when in portrait mode was a downside but for me that was exactly what I wanted. It sits just right to use your phone while propped up on a table. The stand also feels sturdy and durable. 5 stars!

This case is great. It achieves a slim and unobtrusive profile without sacrificing durability. The back of the case has a magnet that is compatible with many types of wireless chargers, and there are quite a few accessories that work with it.The silicone material this is made of really protects well and absorbs shock. I dropped my phone from a height of approximately 6 feet and there wasn’t so much as a scratch on my phone.One of the best things about this case though, is the kickstand. If, like me, you have owned cases in the past with a cheap Chinese kickstand, you will be pleasantly surprised. First, it is made of all metal, so you don’t have to baby the phone out of fear of breaking the kickstand. The kickstand sticks out a few millimeters further than the camera lenses on the back of the phone, so if the phone is dropped, unless the camera takes a direct hit from a corner, none of the impact will hit the actual lenses, but rather be absorbed into the phone case via the kickstand. Another great thing about the stand is that it stays wherever you move it. There is no locking mechanism, but there is enough friction throughout the entire range of its motion that it is impossible for the phone to collapse and shut the kickstand. Now that makes sense.I could go on, but in my opinion, the durability and kickstand alone make the purchase of this case a no-brainer. I can’t see how anyone I’d be disappointed with it. It’s a reasonable price for what you get.

Love this case. It’s not bulky like so many phone cases. Part of the allure of phones is the slim look and feel, and this case ensures you still get that satisfaction. The stand is well-placed, attractive, and functional. I set it up to follow my favorite sports and shows when there’s no tv around and it works great - not wobbly at all. The case fits securely overall, is sleek, and doesn’t let dust or dirt in. Couldn’t be more pleased.

Let’s begin with why -1 star: Mostly it is due to unknown factors and yet to find out (hopefully never to find out)1. Is the plastic non- yellowing after being used for awhile?2. Is the kickstand durable with repeated use as a stand? Or with accidental over extension?3. Drop factors and damages thereafter?4. Scratch resistant?I’m reviewing the product during its first hour post arrival and I will be updating this review as time goes by.Here is what I like about this case:1. Simplicity and the thickness!2. Functionality and overall protection even covered the camera control buttons. And it is as advertised, camera control is still working perfectly.3. Saved you the trouble of buying kickstand /camera guard for the case.4. Strap hole on the side in case if you want to place a strap or charm on the case.5. Strong magnet! It is even stronger than the Apple case, or OtterBox’s case. Yes I have both. If you prefer to have a stronger magnet then choose this one!6. While using camera guard as a kickstand in vertical position, it is almost perpendicular to the table surface. Yet this position still keeps the phone very stable and safe.What I think ESR can improve on:1. More color or print selections.2. If camera guard is being used as a kickstand, the height of the inner protective frame is slightly lower than the height of the camera itself. Lets say an incident occurs while the camera guard got smacked flat or break then the camera lens will hit the table first ( assuming a flat surface). How do I know this is possible? Because I actually ran a ruler over the surface while camera guard is opened to its side. Please see photos attached. With camera guard on as a guard the ruler will not touch the surface of the lens. But when camera guard is used as a kickstand then the ruler actually get caught by the lens first. Although the design of the camera guard will not pass a certain angle, but if something heavy falls on your phone while you are watching YouTube or something and your phone gets pancaked (camera guard gets broken or flattened) then the potential of the lens touch the surface of the table is very likely. Even if just raising 1 mm of the inner lining of it would be better.
