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.

Great phone case for my son. Really heavy duty also and phone feels secure

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 spent I 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 have used otterbox on all my phones and found other otterbox cases great BUT NOT THIS ONE!. With other otterbox cases I got 3 plus years from the case before it started to show any signs of aging. I never had one break before this one which is just over 12 months old. The case for the iPhone 16 was very poorly designed when it comes to the camera control button. The area around the camera control is weak and will break. It is also hard to hold due to the large cutout at the side of the case. I will not pay the high price of another otterbox again.

Having used this case now for some months on a 17 pro max, I have formed opinions that I think are worth sharing. I also tried a Mous and Torres. Protection: the case is chunky and appears to provide good edge buffering but I actually haven’t dropped it from any significant height to check. Camera control button: I have disabled this feature on the phone because it is too inconvenient with this case, operating every time I pick up the phone or try and insert it in the car clamp holder. MagSafe: This is becoming frustrating because it is a major reason why I chose this case and the little magnets are becoming unstuck and rearranging themselves in stacks that are almost impossible to separate. This is a major reason why flaw for me. Grip: good, positive Cost: mid range

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.

I think this case is brilliant feels a good grip when holding the phone and the extra case gives me peace of mind for any drops which I hope I don’t have. It does say there’s a free holster but will not let you claim it in the U.K. and when I messaged otter box via FB I got a link for the U.K. one which says only available for the pro 17 but all in all I’m happy I bought this case

Great phone case, it was third case I tried. Love it would highly recommend

Robuuste case, beschermt goed, het was wel niet duidelijk dat de voorzijde niet beschermt zou zijn.

Es buena, en general otterbox es seguro, pero, del lado del botón parece un poco frágil, si por alguna razon al caer se golpea de ese lado la funda no lo protegerá.

Husband loves this case!

Excellent protection

I’ve used a lot of phone cases over the years, but the Otterbox Defender is easily the best. The build quality is excellent — it feels solid and secure without being overly bulky. I love the texture and grip; it feels great in the hand and doesn’t slip. Most importantly, it gives me total peace of mind knowing my phone is extremely well protected. The fit is perfect, all the buttons and ports work smoothly, and it just feels premium.
