The iPhone 16 Pro is here, and it’s a mighty impressive phone. But you should also keep it protected with a good case, and here are the best ones.
Apple has officially released the iPhone 16 and its variations, including the Apple iPhone 16 Pro. Apple’s It’s Glowtime event revealed the upgrades to the phone, including better screen protection, camera features, and AI integration. Under the hood, the iPhone 16 Pro also boasts an even stronger CPU, with increased memory bandwidth and improved performance. If you’ve decided that the iPhone 16 Pro is your next buy, you should also get a case to keep it safe.
There are many kinds of cases out there to suit every style or preference. Here are some of our favorites.
Spidercase Translucent iPhone 16 Pro CaseThe best budget iPhone 16 case
The best thing about the Spidercase iPhone 16 Pro Case isn’t just its quality — it’s the price you pay for that level of quality. It regularly costs under $20 for this translucent matte model, even at full price.
The Spidercase iPhone 16 Pro case excels in its simplicity. While it might not be the flashiest case, it covers all the basics and has some colorful options to boot. Its raised edges protect the delicate parts of the phone and reinforced corners absorb the shock from odd-angled drops up to 12 feet. The two glass screen protectors included with the case also save you the trouble of buying them separately.
Pelican Voyager iPhone 16 Pro CaseThe best protective iPhone 16 Pro case
The Pelican Voyager iPhone 16 Pro Case might just be the thickest on this list. It features four protective layers made of hard polycarbonate and soft elastomer, similar to the Otterbox Defender, but without the brand name. The anti-scratch coating and raised edges also protect your screen and camera. It has double the layers of many competitors and exceeds military grade drop protection standards.
As a bonus, the Pelican Voyager iPhone 16 Pro Case also comes with a belt clip so you can keep it at your side.
Temdan iPhone 16 Pro Waterproof CaseThe best waterproof iPhone 16 Pro case
Want to take a dip? The Temdan iPhone 16 Pro Waterproof Case lets you take your phone anywhere, even underwater. Its IP68 rating certifies that it could stay submerged up to 1.5 meters underwater for 30 minutes without any issues. That way, you can use it during outdoor activities like swimming, snorkeling, and surfing. Its tempered glass screen protector also maintains the response sensitivity of the bare screen. Just be sure to close any holes with the silicone plugs before you go under. Temdan recommends testing the case underwater before putting your phone inside, just to make sure you know how it works before risking your device.
In addition to its water-resistant features, this Temdan iPhone 16 Pro Case features a shockproof outer nlayer that meets military grade drop test standards and a MagSafe-compatible back.
