OtterBox Defender Series MagSafe Case for iPhone 16 Pro Max, Shockproof, Drop Proof, Ultra-Rugged, Protective Case, 7x Tested to Military Standard, Black

My wife's been using Otterbox since she had an iPhone 6+ and got another one after she bought a new phone. After I recently bought a new phone for myself, I decided to try the Defender Series. It did not disappoint. I made a list of what I liked about it:- easy to install- buttons are precisely positioned so it is responsive and functional- textured body- robust build, designed to protect your phone- fits exactly over the phone- considering all the above, I'd say it's worth the money I spentI don't mind if my phone looks like an Abrams Tank but knowing my wife's first Otterbox protected her iPhone 6+ for years (phone is still alive and in great condition), I'm assured that my phone will be protected from accidental drops, just the same. Highly recommended.

I have tested many iPhone cases for Amazon but none equals the Otterbox Defender when it comes to providing ultimate protection.I therefore decided to purchase a new Defender when I bought my iPhone 16 Pro as I have used one for all of my iPhones since the iPhone X was released.This case is even better than the previous Defender I used with my iPhone 14 Pro as it features a nicely textured exterior that is easy to grip. I have tested the case by using on many 20 km hikes and have found it far easier to hold than any of the other cases.It is easy to remove by peeling off the outer layer and unclipping the inner two-part case at the 5 attachment points.I was a little concerned that the new generation features MagSafe in case the magnets interfered with the built-in compass in the iPhone. I use this when hiking to find directions - other cases with built in magnets such as magnetic clips for wallet cases can play havoc with the compass. I contacted the Otterbox company before purchase for reassurance - they responded within 24 hours to say that they had tested the system. I am pleased to say that the iPhone compass worked perfectly when encased in the Otterbox Defender MagSafe. Even better, this case works perfectly with 3rd party MagSafe accessories for charging or attaching a compact wallet.The only criticism that some have made is the cut-out to allow access to the camera button. In practice, this works well and makes it even easier to hold the iPhone. There is a theoretical risk that the iPhone could land directly on the unprotected button but I think this has a low probability. Unlike any other button on iPhone, it is not possible to engineer an external button to press on this touch-sensitive, multi-function strip.Overall, this case is the best iPhone 16 Pro case I have used and can strongly recommend it.

This is the 4th Defender case I have had and I continue to return for each new phone I get! The case is a comfortable fit in my hands and the buttons provide a positive response when clicked. Installation of the phone is straightforward. The case is hard wearing and withstands drops and falls easily. I have never had any damage on my iPhones when they've been in the case.One issue I have found over the last 3 I have had, tends to come around the 18-24 month mark when the material on the outer case can begin to split a little, it tends to the then flap until I peel it off. Predominantly around the camera slot, (probably due to a high contact zone when holding the phone) It doesn't reduce the usability of the case at all it is just a minor area I have found.

Nice and sturdy case just what I needed

I can't take a picture of this amazing case because it is currently on my phone AND because I don't have the energy capacity as of the now to get my camera out.

I hadn’t used Otterbox products previously, so I was very impressed by the engineering that has been put into this product.Already my iPhone 16 Pro Max has been dropped whilst protected by this case & even tho it fell onto concrete there was no damage to the iPhone or indeed this Otterbox caseTherefore I award it 5+ stars ***** and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for the best quality…

I have had Otterbox cases on my phones and family phones for about 15 years - they have always been solid rugged pieces of kit that protected vulnerable phones in sometimes intense work environments. This one had no protective screen cover unlike previous models, the plastic clip on frame was less sturdy, too flexible and soft, the rubber casing thinner and not as tight a fit, the holder more flimsy less strong almost brittle feeling unlike previous models. I use the holster a lot and especially with this version to better protect the phone screen - after about a month of use the corner of the holder snapped off - tbh this just confirmed to me that what was once my go to phone case, and one that I have happily purchased and used countless times over the years, is now made to considerably lower standards. I would consider other brands now as Otterbox are no longer top of the pile if you want a genuinely rugged phone case. Pity

very strong and robust.
