OtterBox iPhone 16 Pro Defender Series Case - Black (Single Unit Ships in polybag)

Otterbox has been a solid brand for my phone cases over the years. This one specifically has protected my phone.

I drop my phone more than I can count and the OtterBox iPhone 16 Defender has protected it every time! It is high quality. I went with OtterBox because I had a cheaper product that broke. OtterBox is much more durable. You get what you pay for. It’s well worth the investment.The one design feature I love the most is the precision-designed opening. Easy access to the camera and provides a comfortable place to put your fingers when holding your iPhone.

The usual OtterBox quality item fits the iPhone 16 Pro perfect can be used with any charger

Nothing fancy or pretty about it. Very heavy duty. I'm sure it will protect my phone.

I've bought an OtterBox Defender case for every phone I've had starting with my BlackBerry. I love the signature Defender design consisting of (1) a hard case that snaps to the front and back of the phone and surrounds the entire phone and (2) a silicone layer around the entire hard case on the outside, such that the entire phone is protected with both a hard layer and a silicone layer, with the silicone on the outside providing maximum grip and minimizing the chance of accidentally dropping the phone. That design has carried over to the OtterBox Defender for the iPhone 16 Pro. Unfortunately, this case has two weaknesses (described below) that made me look for an alternative. But after an exhaustive search, I could not find any better options, and so I decided to stick with the OtterBox Defender for my iPhone 16 Pro.Strengths:1. Strong, solid case should offer great drop protection (unless you just happen to drop it on an edge in such a way that the phone manages to hit something in the cut out for the Camera Control)2. Interior plastic shell protects the back, corners, and sides of the phone (but doesn't protect the screen at the location of the large cut out for the Camera Control)3. Exterior silicone layer covers the entire back, corners, and sides of the phone (except at the location of the cut out for the Camera Control), providing both protection and a great grip4. Unlike most cases that just snap onto the back of the phone, the OtterBox Defender has (1) a plastic frame consisting of a front piece and a back piece that snap together with the iPhone 16 Pro inside, and (2) a silicone cover that goes on top of the plastic frame. The result is that the case is much more securely attached to the iPhone, and it is practically impossible for it to pull away from the edges or snap off accidentally.Weaknesses:1. The plastic shell barely extends above the screen on the sides (but it does extend more at the top and bottom), providing only very minimal screen protection. The design would be greatly improved if the plastic shell extended farther above the screen on the sides as it does on the top and bottom. (The OtterBox Defender XT for the iPhone 16 Pro does have a plastic shell that extends above the screen on all four sides, but it doesn't have a silicone back and part of the sides are plastic instead of silicone over plastic frame all of the way around.)2. The case has a HUGE cut out for the Camera Control. Although it makes it easy to use the Camera Control, there is NOT protection for the side of the phone or the screen in that area. The design would be much better if the plastic frame extended across the front of the screen next to the Camera Control like it does no the back side. .... It would have been even better if OtterBox had designed a Camera Control button like you find in the Spine Tough Armor T (Ai) case or the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Mag case.Overall, I think this is the best option for the iPhone 16 Pro if you're looking for a case that maximizes drop protection and provides an excellent grip. ... But I hope OtterBox or someone else makes a case that has the same strengths listed above but fixes the weaknesses listed above. That would be a 5 star case.

I have been an otterbox customer since 10 years ago. All my old cases are still working perfectly fine.This new case really starts to lose the edges1. the right cutout edge for the 16 pro makes no sense and probably won’t offer as good coverage as it used to2. it comes no screen protector/ front frame, but the listing and the video doesn’t tell you that3. shipping is slow4. I do not dare to throw my phone as a test any more coz it’s not a warranty item from otterbox any more.5. you need to buy other series to get the right edge covered per CS of otterboxPro :the anti slip grib is really good. The rubber material seams to be consistent quality2 weeks update: the charger portal cover has already cracked in week 2 of use.The older design was a cover opened from top to bottom but the new design is a cover opened from bottOm to top and top is just a slim slice of the front bottom cover. Cracked in just 2 weeks. Horrible update

Excellent product. I always get the defender series. I drop my phone often, almost daily and my screen never cracks. I have hand issues. This works perfect for me, or anyone who needs an extra layer of protection. I also use screen protectors. I recommend this!

I returned this. It was too big. It was for the I 16 max.
