EvoMax for iPhone 16 Pro Max Compatible with MagSafe - Impact Protection Case 21x Military Standard Tested - Camera Shield -in Black/Charcoal

Owned many iphone and various cases. Have to say best one yet. The Camera cover is great, phone usually in a pocket, prevents any scratches or damage from keys or coins. the case is well designed, usb c port has a cover so no dirt dust gets in. The case works with the magsafe charger fine. I like the texture grip on the sides of the case, easy to grip, overall a good investment. I use this with a screen protector so the phone is well protected.

Nice Strong case , took ages to come but worth the wait

Tough and stylish case, excellent protection, easy to fit

Bear in mind that opening the lens screen protector will add time to taking a photo and the iPhone 16 has the new side button designed to allow a quick snap. If you think you might miss that brief opportunity to take a photo, of wildlife on a walk etc, it’s best to have the lens protector already open. I have never encountered any sand getting caught behind the lens protector and scraping when opening/shutting lens cover but that might be something to think about if you are in a gritty and windy place. For those reasons one star short of five in my assessment. When the lens protector is shut the case seems to do a good job of preventing damage from pocket keys. The case I bought is black and grey. A separate protector film is needed to save damage to the screen.

After seeing the Tech21 company on Dragons Den many years ago. I’ve been hooked on their product. iPad, iPhone and Mac Book, all rock protection by Tech21. Does make the device bulky, but it’s worth it for the added protection. The lens cover is a nice touch.

Good protection against bumps and drops of the phone

Always used Tech21 cases and will continue too. I’m always working hands on plus clumsy so always go for the max protection and am yet to break a phone screen since using these cases with a screen protector…

So luckily I did get the correct-sized case for the 16 Pro, even though the size-fit image says iPhone 16 Plus. Reported that issue, maybe one day it will get corrected. Onto the case then - great rigid fit, fairly grippy, strong magnets, good buttons and cutouts, fairly scratch resistant. Is it worth buying? Well, by the time we find the answer to that question, it might be too late for your expensive phone. The buttons protrude quite a lot and are very clicky. As a result, they might get pushed accidentally more often than you’d like. Also, how much impact force would they transmit to the phone’s buttons I wonder, if the phone were to land on a side? The camera cover is great, and apparently hard to find elsewhere, but how many actuations will it take for the door to stop clicking into place? Most importantly, the rigid plastic of the rails/edges holding the cover have barely anything in between them and the back glass. On back-facing impact, chances are that most of the impact force will be transmitted through the rigid plastic onto the back glass, I would think. Even placing the phone on a hard surface sounds loud and rigid because of this lower hard edge holding the camera cover. Lastly, the USB-C port flap sticks out looking like it was designed for Lightning. The plug doesn’t fully fit in the phone’s port, being stopped by the port’s pin tongue. The same USB-C pin tongue might get damaged on impact if the phone lands on the protruding flap/plug, potentially rendering the phone’s port unusable. I really wanted to like this case, but for the price it looks like a rushed and somewhat risky option.
