OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPhone 16e/15/14/13 - Military-Grade Shockproof & Drop Protection, Ultra Rugged Phone Cover (Black) | Perfect for Outdoor Adventures, Construction Sites & Extreme Sports

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.
