iPhone 16/e/Plus/Pro/Pro Max cases

I LOVED the Blue Otterbox Figura (reminiscent of my favourite case ever, the Apple Midnight Blue Silicone case for my iPhone 6s) for my iPhone Xʀ. I got it back in August 2019 when I got the iPhone and it lasted for 5.5 years until March 2024, when I upgraded to the iPhone 16 Plus:

I’m not the biggest fan of the Otterbox Figura for the 16 Plus, but since it worked so well for the Xʀ (I still have it and it’s great), I figured I’d choose function over form and repeat the formula, so:

Otterbox Figura for the 16 Plus, too:

I looked at the Apple Silicone cases for the 16 Plus, but I went through four (!!) Midnight Blue cases with the 6s. They just aren’t durable enough (and I’m a careful person!). So I chose this one.
 
Mous finally in the house :oops: Honestly, this case is not as bad as I had anticipated. The fit is tight, buttons are fantastic, feels great in the hand and the CC button actually works, somewhat. The only problem with the button, it's surrounded with a soft silicone material and your finger kinds of hangs up and drags on this soft gasket material around the button.
Plus, that white sticker they put over the CC button for shipping leaves behind some sticky residue after it's peeled off.

I'll give it a run today and report back after the fingerprint/grease party has started ;)

A big thanks to Joe for that fantastic 50% off code 👍

Thanks for the report. Hopefully it works out for you.

That sticker though - perhaps they might’ve considered some other design that didn’t require a sticker to keep a button from falling out in shipment. Sheesh. It’s hard to fathom for a $70 retail case.

That sticker make me think... What about when you put this case off an on again after some time 🤔

Looks good, is the code for all?
 
I am getting annoyed with the large opening the Otterbox Defender has for the camera controls. I am setting off the camera thanks to the way I am in the habit of holding my iPhones. Except for the non-MagSafe ADVNTR Juggernaut, it would be in it. I don't use the MagSafe function much. I have a tactile problem with the ADVNTR case in that it has uncomfortable edges in a bare hand.
 
Is anyone using the ROKFORM case? It looks like a good one, it has several mounting options and a MagSafe charger that also works as a mount for other things. You can use it to clip it to a MacBook and use it as a webcam.

I rather like the plugs it has for the USB-C port. One of the things I have never liked about the Defender case is that eventually, the rubber cover for the port fatigue breaks off. This one can't break off, and you can order replacements.

Mous is one of my favourite cases, feels exceptional in the hand due to rounded edges.
