iPhone 16 Cases

Your iPhone 15 case will not fit

This is the one to know. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 are both 6.1 inches with the same footprint, so an old case will slide straight on but Apple moved the dual camera from a diagonal arrangement on the 15 to a vertical pill on the 16. The case goes on and covers half the camera array. The 16 also added the Camera Control on the right edge, which a 15 case has no cutout for.

The Camera Control is capacitive rather than mechanical, so even a case cut for the generation has to leave it exposed or use a conductive pass-through solid plastic across it stops it responding. Everything in this collection is cut for the iPhone 16 specifically. It will not fit the 16 Plus at 6.7 inches or either Pro model.

What is in the range

Cases run from $20 to $50, covering everyday, rugged and stand designs.

The Soft TPU Shockproof Clear at $20 is the everyday option hidden airbags in all four corners, raised edges on both faces, and anti-oxidation construction so it does not yellow the way untreated TPU does under New Zealand sun. Worth choosing if you picked the ultramarine, teal or pink finish and want it visible.

The Robot Triple Layer at $30 is the most protective case here by a clear margin. Three layers rigid PC shell inside, shock-absorbing rubber in the middle, non-slip textured TPU outside with thickened corners, dust plugs for the ports, and 5mm raised bezels around the camera with 3mm around the screen. Most cases give you one to two millimetres. If you work outdoors or on a site, this is the one.

The Mountain River Series at $39 and the Elvis Series at $50 both build in stands a lens stand on the Mountain River, and a fold-out invisible bracket on the Elvis with hard PC and soft TPU construction. Both are MagSafe, and the Elvis is the pick if you want all-round protection and a stand in one case.

Magnetic mounting

The iPhone 16 has MagSafe magnets built in. A case with a matching ring lets the phone snap onto a charger, a car mount or a magnetic power bank; a case without one will still charge on a flat pad but will not hold on a mount and will not self-align. If you use any magnetic accessory, choose a MagSafe version rather than adding a stick-on ring later adhesive rings shift over time and sit off-centre.

Screen protection and related collections

Tempered glass and camera lens covers for this handset sit alongside the rest of the generation in iPhone 16 series cases and screen protectors.
