Thoughts on a Case for the iPhone 16 Pro

Ezri said:
This is my first time pre-ordering a phone, and I want to have a case ready as soon as it arrives. I know that companies get the dimensions in advance, so cases are available right away. But how can I tell which cases are good if no one has tried them yet? Are there any brands that people trust to make cases for the new model? I really want to make sure I have a case right away after I get the phone.

I can’t find a suitable case for my iPhone.

I usually buy the Smartish Grip case for $20, as it lasts me for a couple of years without any issues, just light scratches on the back. I researched and found it was rated as the best overall case on Wirecutter. The case for the 16 Pro is great and works functionally with the new capture control feature. However, I also ordered an Apple silicone case when I pre-ordered the phone just in case I needed extra protection. Using the Apple case with the capacitive touch button gives a better experience. I’ve moved away from Apple cases due to their tendency to chip and their high prices. I might have to reconsider and stick with the provided Apple case this time.

I ended up going with this one; it’s just what I needed. https://a.co/d/jg7HGx6

I always get Spigen Armor cases since I’m prone to dropping my phone frequently.
