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

Im trying to find 2 clear cases for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
First one has to have the strongest MagSafe as I will be using it in a MagSafe car mount and want it to hold on strong. (Don’t want to get quad lock for best hold) clear case but I prefer frosted clear if it’s possible.
I already bought a catalyst frosted clear case and the MagSafe completely sucks.
Second case I’m trying to look for is a clear case with out MagSafe logo on the back. Just need it to be a clear & obviously the best protection.
For the 1st case I would like to have a camera button cover but if it’s not gonna have a strong MagSafe then I’ll do without.
2st can have a cutout out or not for the camera button. Won’t matter
Any suggestions?
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.
So bought the official MagSafe clear case from Apple for my 16 Pro but man does it feel unfinished.
-
Super slippery. Like to the point where I’m better without it. Wear moisturiser? The phone will slide out your hand.
-
Buttons are just not responsive, especially the power button. They all feel very stiff and not tactile or clicky.
-
Feels loose. This case just doesn’t fit snug. There’s parts of the case that just feel loose and not stuck to the phone. This point is honestly what is making me want to return the case. Picking up the phone you can literally feel the case wobble the slightest bit as if it’s not on the phone firmly enough and honestly just does my nut in.
These 3 points plus the fact the bottom isn’t covered are making me look for alternatives. Anyone got any suggestions? I did actually buy the Spigen one before my phone arrived but it felt a little too rounded so went with Apples as it has more of an edge.
