I’ve been using the Zagg Crystal Palace the version with the kickstand. I really like the case. It definitely adds grip to the back. The MagSafe is decently strong, and I really like having the kickstand attachment where I can set the phone upright or on its side. I have only dropped the phone once on laminate flooring. Nothing happened to the phone, but I can’t really speak on how durable it is. I don’t really know, but it feels pretty sturdy while not being overly bulky.
I bought two Spigen 16 Pro Max cases and they're excellent. Just waiting for my phone to arrive😤 I had a "Spigen Rugged Armor MagFit" on my 14 Pro Max, without a screen protector and I got zero scratches in two years, which was impressive, because it was dropped quite a few times. Great video👍🏼
Yep, had a Spigen Rugged on my 13 Pro Max for three years and not a scratch. I bought into the influencer hype and bought my wife an ESR Classic Hybrid (with the camera stand) case to replace her worn out Otterbox. She literally had it on her 14 Pro for two days and it shattered the back glass on the FIRST drop. Run from those cases.
I have my case mate twinkle disco from over 3 1/2 years ago when I bought my 13 pro max and it is just now turning yellow but still offers great drop protection .. will be going with them again for my 16 pro max ..
Third party cases I have the supcase ub clear case that has the camera capture button. It must have been difficult to source the sapphire crystal buttons. Imo
Supcase and i-Blason have the capture button cover only thus far that I’ve seen unless I missed one… there’s another video of dude showing one on his 16 pro max and I asked him a bunch of questions on the cover in the comments section of his video.
Mous is overpriced junk. Used them for last several years but now price is way up there. Their super thin case is a joke with no protection whatsoever.
i agree that they’re expensive. but the point of the super thin case is supposed provide very minimal protection. just against scratches and like a drop on carpet

Hi! That's my next video coming asap. Top budget cases and I have fully tested the spigen ultra hybrid.

That’s what I am looking at. I have been using it for three years on my 13 pro max. It has been great. Just some yellowing.
Spigen is good!
Nice video. Thanks for shooting it outside and testing the camera control on each.
Otter is crazy, used mine for just 2mos and the sides turned dark yellow almost like brown.
If you want non-yellowing clear case with excellent features, Torras case is always my recommended case.
Thank you David great information because am getting a new iPhone so this is helpful

I want to get case mate but worried about shattering my back glass 😳
For the Torras case, are the sides soft like rubber or hard? Not quite sure, which one is better :(
Waiting on the dude to drop one of them in the water, lol. Crazy
I’m surprised the Otterbox has exposed camera button. Although I like the clear sides. I have the Symmetry for my 14Pro which has been good.
The Otterbox has some nevised ones coming out with a cover on the camera button or without a Gap in that area. Soon.
You don’t have Speck? Perfect Clear Click-lock
I’d argue the most premium case is the Pitaka range of cases
Really?
Heavily disagree
u forgot the rhino shield cases
Hi! I bought a lot of cases. Will try to include it next time
None have the capture button cover…

1mm not drop protection
No camera control cover. These are all hard pass.
Torra case lasted 4 months on my 13pm before it started peeling and looking like sh*t
A lot can change from iPhone 13 to iPhone 16.
@@TheFrenchGlow true but I bought it like 6 months ago, I hope they are better quality now.
xone is best
Original transparent apple case is better for my apple 16 pro max
