OtterBox Defender Series MagSafe Case for iPhone 16, Shockproof, Drop Proof, Ultra-Rugged, Protective Case, 7x Tested to Military Standard, Black

I have tested many iPhone cases for Amazon but none equals the Otterbox Defender when it comes to providing ultimate protection.I therefore decided to purchase a new Defender when I bought my iPhone 16 Pro as I have used one for all of my iPhones since the iPhone X was released.This case is even better than the previous Defender I used with my iPhone 14 Pro as it features a nicely textured exterior that is easy to grip. I have tested the case by using on many 20 km hikes and have found it far easier to hold than any of the other cases.It is easy to remove by peeling off the outer layer and unclipping the inner two-part case at the 5 attachment points.I was a little concerned that the new generation features MagSafe in case the magnets interfered with the built-in compass in the iPhone. I use this when hiking to find directions - other cases with built in magnets such as magnetic clips for wallet cases can play havoc with the compass. I contacted the Otterbox company before purchase for reassurance - they responded within 24 hours to say that they had tested the system. I am pleased to say that the iPhone compass worked perfectly when encased in the Otterbox Defender MagSafe. Even better, this case works perfectly with 3rd party MagSafe accessories for charging or attaching a compact wallet.The only criticism that some have made is the cut-out to allow access to the camera button. In practice, this works well and makes it even easier to hold the iPhone. There is a theoretical risk that the iPhone could land directly on the unprotected button but I think this has a low probability. Unlike any other button on iPhone, it is not possible to engineer an external button to press on this touch-sensitive, multi-function strip.Overall, this case is the best iPhone 16 Pro case I have used and can strongly recommend it.

My wife's been using Otterbox since she had an iPhone 6+ and got another one after she bought a new phone. After I recently bought a new phone for myself, I decided to try the Defender Series. It did not disappoint. I made a list of what I liked about it:- easy to install- buttons are precisely positioned so it is responsive and functional- textured body- robust build, designed to protect your phone- fits exactly over the phone- considering all the above, I'd say it's worth the money I spentI don't mind if my phone looks like an Abrams Tank but knowing my wife's first Otterbox protected her iPhone 6+ for years (phone is still alive and in great condition), I'm assured that my phone will be protected from accidental drops, just the same. Highly recommended.

I bought then to my partner because she breaks her phone all the time. It's been almost a year and it looks like new!I love this brand it is absolutely worth it!Not extremely expensive, but it is perfectly protects the phone. It might be a bit blunky, but it protects the edges perfectly, where most of the iphone gets the impact. It nicely fit in the case holding it in place. It more durable then most cases.

Have used otter boxes for years ever since having an iPhone. This new design has cracked my screen. Why do use otter box? Because they are the best with a busy active life. First time I dropped my phone, the screen cracked at the bottom of the new design where they haven’t covered the camera button, instead there’s a dip! Why they thought this was a. Better design g I do not know! I co tasted otter box but because I bought it through Amazon they have nothing to do with it. Perfectly polite, just not up to them apparently! Hey ho!

I never leave reviews but this phone case is amazing! Beautiful colour, really nice material and feels very sturdy. Love it. The instructions are clear as well. Great brand

Overall a very good case, what you would expect from otterbox. The only let down was the screen protector keeps chipping on around the area of the camera cut out. 16pro max

Using it when I have a choice of other cases , nice colour, ok to fit, not have to force in the case, seems easier to carry, handle phone than other cases, just different maybe. Camera button exposed not good, not too bothered about it. Think I leave case on the phone for a month, then case easier to remove refit, may or may not be true, rather than removing, refitting as soon as you get it.

Great quality, the nook was something I was less convinced by, but it's the correct design to use the side touch functionality, the phone feels safe and secure, whilst the case is big, in my opinion it's as small as it can be whilst offering this level of protection, it's also nicer to hold than the phone alone.
