I bought a new iPhone 16 Pro Max along with an Apple case which I hated immediately. It was too slippery and basic. I started searching cases as soon as I got home from the Apple Store. I tend to do a ton of research on cases and have had many over the years for the different iPhones I’ve owned. They’ve all had a few shortcomings. This has none to me at least and checks all my boxes. Great fit with all the buttons accurately in the right places. It protects the phone very well without being heavy or bulky. It has a good grip without feeling sticky. Overall well engineered and very high quality. One really cool feature is the camera lens cover which I didn’t even think about before I started looking at the newest cases. It protects well, snaps down and opens easily while doubling as an adjustable stand. Pro tip - it also acts as a ledge to support your index finger under which helps secure the phone while talking or browsing. I was expecting the cover and base to be cheap and flimsy, but it tightly snaps down and has just the right resistance in the spring. If this case holds up to the heavy usage it will get, I will give a perfect 10.
