I use the Apple cases after trying dozens over the years, the fit & finish on them is hard to beat and I’ve found most 3rd party cases have MagSafe issues. You tend to be able to pick them up on eBay for ~$20 or so from Amazon return resellers, which isn’t too bad. Just gotta get good at spotting the fakes.
Especially for the 16 I would get an Apple case, because I think all the other manufacturers just cut out a hole where the new Camera button is whereas Apple has conductive material there so you can use the sliding gestures.
Spigen has been my go-to since like iPhone 6
Me and one of any family members both have an ESR case with one of those pop-out camera edges that acts as a stand. It’s excellent. I use it with my car magsafe charger, and it genuinely requires some effort to take off lol
ESR. They have cases as low as $13 with strong magnets and a premium feel.
Its my first time with an ESR Case (this one specifically https://a.co/d/5Mrkayt) and the magnets and wireless charging work very well. My only downside is (and it may be in my head) is that after a month its starting to get a smidge of yellowing. Although in fairness I usually only see a completely clear case on the first day, and in any event a colored case shouldn’t suffer that (I imagine). Also I got mine for $9 a week before the 16 came out, but seems to be $12 now.
usuriously
Upvote for good word use. Someone studied for their SATs…
Wow, nice backhanded compliment there. You’ve really nailed damning with faint praise.
Backhanded? The compliment is sincere.
I’m sorry if it came across otherwise. I mean what I said.
