Best Cases and Covers for iPhone 16 Plus

The iPhone 16 series is here and like every year, Apple has released four different models. But if you have grown a fondness towards the Plus variant and are planning on buying one, you should also consider grabbing a good case for it. In this article, we will take you through some of the best cases available for iPhone 16 Plus to safeguard your new smartphone. Let’s check them out below.

1. ESR Cloud Soft Case

ESRGear’s Cloud Soft is a soft-touch silicon case that is easy to hold, doesn’t dig into your hands, and doesn’t get irritating to hold after a while. As you may have noticed, the camera cutout has metal edges, which not only helps to protect the phone’s camera during a drop but also doubles as a kickstand so you can watch content with ease wherever you go.

2. Otterbox Symmetry Series Clear

Otherbox Symmetry is one of the best thin and light cases, as they have a unique translucent design and different color options to match your iPhone 16 Plus colors. They look pretty trendy and neat, especially the bumpers, which are also impact resistance so they can take a few hits while securing your iPhone from any damage. It also has a MagSafe ring so it works with all supported accessories.

3. Spigen Rugged Armor (MagFit)

Spigen’s Rugged Armor strikes a good balance between slim, lightweight, and rugged case design. Unlike other rugged cases, it doesn’t add much bulk to your iPhone 16 Plus, while still offering a lot of protection thanks to its durable TPU body. It also has strips on the sides so you have a good grip on your phone so you don’t drop it often.

4. UAG Pathfinder

If you want complete protection for your iPhone 16 Plus, then look no further than UAG. They make some of the toughest phone cases and the Pathfinder is a good example. This rugged case is hefty but offers complete protection from all sides. This is made possible by its reinforced TPU bumpers that absorb and disperse impacts. Plus you have got to admit that it looks, and it might not seem from the outside, but it does have MagSafe support.

5. Caseology Parallax Mag

Caseology’s Parallax Mag is anything but conventional. You can already see that the back of the case has this 3D parallax effect going on, but the top and the sides also have different textures, making the case extremely grippy. That, plus, it offers a good all-around safety for your iPhone 16 Plus when you lay it flat on a table thanks to its raised lips. Its design is also reminiscent of the old Macintosh computers. And yes, it does include MagSafe.

6. D Brand Grip Case

This is the most expensive case that we have featured in this list, but it is also one of the most popular options among tech enthusiasts. D Brand’s grip cases offer a lightweight, but grippy design because of their textured casing and strip design on either side, making it less likely for you to drop the phone. The case is just 2mm thin 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 is MagSafe compatible.

7. Benks Montage Armor Pro

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 by Benks is the right suit for the occasion. It is made up of Kevlar, which is not only durable, but also super thin and lightweight. So you get better protection for your device, without adding more bulk to it. Then there are magnets at 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 you want to take your iPhone 16 Plus out for an adventure, then you should definitely pick up UAG’s Plasma XTE. This case has pretty thick bumpers covering all sides of the device, raised lips around the screen, and the camera bump. There is also a collapsible MagSafe ring which can double as the stand if you decide to take a break and watch some content while you’re out. But if you want a case that keeps you stress-free about dropping your iPhone, this is one of the top contenders along with the Pathfinder.

9. Speck Candyshell Grip Case

This Candyshell case by Speck is a good protective cover that has dual-layer protection that can stand an impact from up to 8 ft of drop as claimed by the company. It has a grippy design thanks to the grooves present throughout both sides, precise cutouts for the camera and the new camera button, along with the rest of the ports, thick bezels, and minimal aesthetics. And don’t be fooled by its looks, as it hides the MagSafe magnets between its two layers.

10. Supcase Heavy Duty Rugged Case

If you are planning to go on an adventure sports trip or have children at your home, this Heavy Duty Rugged case is the one you should get with your iPhone 16 Plus. Firstly, unlike most other cases, it even covers the camera button while still allowing you to use its complete functionality. It has 2mm raised edges, so your phone doesn’t get scratched by minute particles. Then, it can withstand a fall from 20ft. And despite its thick exterior, it can securely attach to all your MagSafe accessories.

So these are the best cases for a variety of styles and needs. You can choose whichever one you believe best suits your phone. Given that the phone has just been released at the time of writing this post, some cases may be more expensive than usual; however, if you shop for one later, you may be able to get one for less.
