Apple's iPhone 16 lineup is here, and whether you've gone for the standard iPhone 16, the Plus, the Pro, or the Pro Max, one thing hasn't changed - these phones are not cheap, and they are not indestructible. With a bigger camera bump, even sleeker glass panels, and an ever-so-slightly tweaked frame, finding a good case this year is more important than ever.
A great case does two jobs: it keeps your phone safe from drops, scratches, and wear, and it lets you add your own personality to an otherwise minimalist device. In this roundup, we've covered a mix of slim, stylish, and rugged options so you can find the perfect match.
1. CaseFace "Print Series" – Slim Protection with Personality
If you want a case that's both protective and stylish, the Print Series case from CaseFace provides a huge range of designs. The range is available across the full iPhone 16 range and comes in two versions: Snap for slimline protection, and Tough for extra drop resistance.
The design are unique and wide ranging with colourful designs & personalised also. The cases are lightweight, easy to grip, and the fit is spot-on. You won't struggle with stiff buttons or loose edges here, and it slides easily into your pocket without snagging.
2. Spigen Ultra Hybrid
Spigen has been a go-to for affordable but well-made cases for years. The Ultra Hybrid keeps your phone's design visible thanks to its transparent back, while reinforced bumpers help protect against drops. It's a solid "set and forget" option.
3. Mous Limitless 5.0
If you like premium materials, the Mous Limitless 5.0 is worth the extra spend. It combines a rigid shell with AiroShock impact protection and comes in finishes ranging from walnut to aramid fibre. It's MagSafe compatible, too.
4. OtterBox Symmetry Series+
OtterBox has a reputation for heavy-duty cases, but the Symmetry Series+ strikes a nice balance between bulk and protection. You still get drop resistance you can trust, but in a more pocket-friendly form factor.
5. Totallee Thin Case
For those who hate cases but know they need one, the Totallee Thin Case is about as minimal as it gets. At just 0.02 inches thick, it adds grip and scratch protection without changing the feel of your phone.
Final Thoughts
Whether you lean towards sleek styles like the Perfect Peach or tank-like protection from OtterBox, the iPhone 16 range has a healthy variety of case options. With so much choice, it's worth deciding early on whether you value style, slimness, or sheer protection - and then picking the case that matches how you actually use your phone.
