A note on Apple's clear cases
iPhone 16 Pro Max Clear case with strongest MagSafe + extra case recommendation.
Anyone else got one of these cases for their 16 Pro & regretted it a couple of days later? 🤷🏻♂️

Does this case really work with MagSafe accessories?
Yes. It has strong built-in magnets that align perfectly with MagSafe chargers and accessories, so you’ll get fast wireless charging and a secure magnetic hold without removing the case.
How protective is the case if I drop my phone?
The case is designed to withstand drops of up to 10 feet. With reinforced corners and shock-absorbing material, it keeps your iPhone 16 Plus safe from everyday slips and impacts.
Will the camera and screen stay safe with this case on?
Definitely. A 2mm raised lip surrounds both the camera and the screen, ensuring they don’t make direct contact with flat surfaces when you place your phone down.

There seem to be many haters. I personally like mine—my only complaint is the lack of protection on the bottom edge. Two things I want to point out that are not usually mentioned:
Apple's case is of higher build quality. Most of the cheaper clear cases (ESR, Casekoo, Torras, Spigen) are constructed from two separate pieces, an edge bumper and a back plate (see photos). Apple's case is one solid, continuous piece, which is better for aesthetics and durability (my last iPhone's case started falling apart this year, see second photo).
It's $35 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGHH7S34). You don't have to pay $50 on Apple's website.
Not here to convince anyone to buy the case or start a debate, just wanted to share the knowledge.
