I love mouse, but this is the first time that I refuse to give them my money until they get rid of the cut out especially at that price. I’ll stick to the basic Apple Silicon case until then the point of a case is to protect the phone, not leave parts of it exposed

[@Lewinium]

I was pretty disappointed in their cases lately. But don’t know how they are from last year

[@bobbah8]

This is the first time I went with the Apple Silicone case for the same reason

[@SCATXXV]

I was disappointed with the ip13 cases as they got rid of the microfiber AND the sim card tray slot. I'm glad the microfiber is back, but the cut out was just pure lazy

[@Lewinium]

@@SCATXXV yeah my ip13pm case fell apart because the glue losened after not even a year

[@gibby3350]

Yep totally agree. I’m getting the Flolab though it looks CLEANNNNNNNNN

[@Dtrain79]

My last 3 iPhones (14 pro max, 15 pro max, and 16 pro max) have been rocking the Torras MagSafe Kickstand case and I love them. Strongest magnets I have tried (except for MagSafe case) and great all around protection. The 16 Pro max case doesn’t have a full cut out either. The kick stand is a life saver.

[@TimCampbellVO]

I've fallen in love with your channel man! Can't stop watching these videos even though I've run out of tech to buy, hahaha. Cheers bud!

[@chuckles069]

Can you post the list and the scores of all of the cases that you reviewed? Best channel for accessories on youtube for sure.

[@boomcr7302]

nice review 🤓😎💯

[@ikjadoon]

He virtually never shares the results of the other cases, making these round-ups really limited. See all his other videos: tons of people ask, he has never shared his full data.

[@KeyboardSavant]

I'd recommend the Supcase "Unicorn Beetle Mag" or Spigen "Ultra Hybrid T MagFit," for those of you who are wanting the camera button control to be functional (and protected). I have the Supcase on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, and my partner is using the Spigen on the 16 Pro. Each of them have a unique approach and fitting over the sapphire layer. No issues whatsoever with responsiveness on either case and personally, the Supcase is preferred, as the button is slightly raised as well. (Apologies if this is double-posted, I was on mobile.)

[@kekekenny]

I was wondering about both cases, thanks! would you like to give a short review about button tapping feeling for both cases?

[@Clone895]

This is the case that I purchased, and it seems like one of the better notchless options (especially at only $19)... Now I just need my 16 Pro Max to get delivered, so I can test it .-.

[@zeromythosver.]

⁠@@kekekenny I’ve been using the Supcase Unicorn Beetle for a few days and really like it, it looks very clean in the green color on my Desert color phone I’m not the most enthusiastic about the Camera Control button, but wanted it to work for when I do use it, and with some getting used to it works perfectly fine with this case’s conductive button

[@kekekenny]

@zeromythosver. thanks for sharing, may consider it definitely.

[@funkyflights]

Good price also … Seems like a pretty dam good case

[@Ethanxz1969]

hey man! I realized you didn't shown any leather case, I'm looking for one like that and I saw Vionentus got one but don't know about their quality, and not sure about any other model on amazon. Anyone knows?

[@CJacks_61]

I gifted my dad one last year, and he's kinda careless with some stuff, and actually the case it's really good! Just give it a try or return it if you doesnt like it then

[@kev_brooks76]

This is one of the best channels for reviews, trust it if you want any other phone cases of the video lmao

[@MichaelMHl5]

Agree with the other comments here, he's one of the few who stays real

[@michaelwoolcock5600]

I would thoroughly recommend the Shieldon leather range..the 15 and 16 versions have a detachable inner sleeve, so it is still protected when attached to a Magsafe charger. And yes, the camera control works fine. My friend who has a 16 Pro bought one. I have one for my 13..

[@Ethanxz1969]

@@michaelwoolcock5600 thanks man, I'll check!

[@hontje4570]

I'm really disappointed in Mous. I basically already planned to get the Limitless case for my new iPhone since it protected my old one for five years. But after this year's redesign reveal, with that large, ugly cutout, made me switch to another brand.

[@DannyTammaro]

I bought 2 cases for the 16 PM and sent them back. Too slippery for me

[@jacobbernard6605]

Go with the Pitaka military grade case, I prefer them over the Mous Limitless. I’ve used both.

[@RevenantShark]

Same here. They’re making cases of lower quality and increasing prices with ugly design. Brand has really fallen off

[@maximilianobarona7560]

[@randytsang7320]

Me too. Now I'm looking for another protective case.

[@irenexenos7236]

I found you four years ago when I purchased my iPhone 12 Pro Max. The Mous case was amazing. Here I am four years later, looking for the best case for my new iPhone 16 Pro Max. Of course, I will be using your links to make my purchase. Thank you for everything you do!

[@ras9182]

Thank you for this review. My iphone 13 has the Caudabe Sheath and Flolab screen protector that you recommended 3+ years ago. They have worked extraordinarily!!

[@annevchen]

[@rgbkenpachi5758]

Man, this is one of my favorite channels. Top 3 for sure when it comes to accessories.

[@ekxiong]

Love your reviews. They seem genuine and honest which makes me trust you. I’ve just ordered your #1 pick for the iphone 16 pro max case. Looks stylish yet does not lack in the protection department. The affordable price is a bonus. Can’t wait for the product to arrive. Thanks for doing the homework for us. Keep the videos coming.

[@evorick]

I don't plan on buying the new iPhone 16, but I like staying updated on how companies keep up. I'm a big fan of Mous, and I was a bit disappointed when they were at #4 for the first time. However, seeing Flolab at #1, which only costs $30, is insane! I'm also a massive fan of Flolab's Privacy Screen Protector! Thanks for doing this review!

[@salemor-northwestregion382]

I have watched a lot of iPhone 16 Pro Max case reviews, and this one is by far the best! Thank you for the in-depth and honest review.

[@EarthSurfer]

I am not a fan of the cut-out camera button cases. I tried several at the Apple Store, and I’m using the Apple Silicone case until there are better non-Apple options. AppleCare will have to be my 1st level drop protection for now.

[@gibby3350]

That Flolab is exactly what I’m looking for, thank you! I wanted a frosted clear case that had great protection but with black rails and that fits perfectly!

[@abybabu9869]

Did you buy the cover?

[@big_narc]

Was waiting for this. Only phone reviewer I listen to since I found you 4 years ago

[@felixyii3685]

Placed an ton of orders of Flolabs screen protector, case and wallet, all thanks to you! Thanks for being a REVIEWER instead of an INFLUENCER!!!

[@inkimmerthing]

Great video as always, next time could you add a visual representation of the score system for each case. It would be easier for me to see how many points the case has for each category that I prioritise.

[@Paa375]

Good luck with that

[@kolbyjackson293]

So happy you get it. I’m sick of companies overcharging and under building. I have an ear case that’s like an otter box commuter on roids. Has a camera guard kick stand. Checks all the boxes and well built besides the fact that the phone pops out of the case easier than a horribly made silicone case. $30 and it’s one failing point makes it lose out to sub $10 cases for me. It’s was so close to perfect. But you do the right tests. I love it. Thanks man.

[@Paa375]

Thank you for being upfront with the wear on the caudabe synthesis its a great case but scratches so easily and then now you have a case with all these awful scratches so again thank you for your honest feedback I really appreciate it 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@GodOfWar109]

The speck cases are always top notch, also the buttons wear in and feel a lot better after a few weeks of use.

[@Emosetzer]

I love your videos. Always check here before I buy something. I’d love to see another roundup once companies figure out how to cover the button properly. Cutouts are a deal breaker for me.

[@nathans5773]

Do you make the list of products reviewed or your scoring public? It would be nice to know what cases were not reviewed or didn’t make the cut and/why they didn’t. For example, the strength of the MagSafe attachment may not be as important to some people who don’t intend to use it.

[@obijawn]

Looking forward to the next round or at least that Magbak case that has its own button on the new camera one. They seem pretty proud of themselves for that new case.

[@CarlPalermoII]

Consider listing all the cases you tested in the description. It’s hard to know whether you have looked at one (for example the Rhinoshield case) and it just didn’t make the cut. Otherwise, love your videos and your reviews.

[@danbogart]

Great video. So happy to finally see a channel not hyping ESR cases. I have to admit, I bought into the influencer hype and bought one for my wife. She had the “classic hybrid” case on her 14 pro for two days before she dropped it for the first time (waist height on tile floor). The back glass of the phone completely shattered on that first drop. Keep in mind we have three young sons whom have kicked, dropped and thrown her phone all over the house for the last couple years and it didn’t have a scratch until the ESR case.

[@Paa375]

Esr cases are like spigen cheap Amazon garbage

[@DavidRPFarinha]

@MobileReviewsEh , would it be possible to share the results for the other places? I'm looking at the Mous Super Thin 2.0, and the Spigen

[@jaymankhan7329]

APPLE CASES AREN’T THE ONLY ONES WITH THE BUTTON COVERED !!! Supcase and Spigen also have covered Camera Control (as far as I know) 😎

[@Zakna]

im hapy with my spigen. $30 and with the case on, it's smaller than my iphone 14 pro max with the mous case haha.

[@Fortunex7]

Spigen charging $55 for a clear case just cause it protects the camera control lol

[@livendi3229]

Yeah, but those two case companies are cheap garbage

[@saudigamer2003]

And beats 😂

[@HearMeLearn]

he said he's going to make more iphone 16 case videos, but if you want to get one of those cases already then just go ahead

[@ryansegovia9985]

Supcase has a couple of cases that are fully enclosed and use capacitive buttons like the Apple cases

[@Xerpocalypse_]

I have one, unfortunately their gold-plated-pin capacitive transfer system isn't very good when you use the pad of your finger. Fingertip works better.

[@boogeymanw9643]

It works but rather annoying. I will go with silicone case until later someone will come up with revision

[@tanamati6832]

Got one, the button works fine. Much better than a cutout.

[@chmm316]

Received mine but haven’t use it . Felt the outside smooth the inside u can feel the pin will it scuff or damage the button? Share your thoughts pls thanks

[@tanamati6832]

Nah I don’t think so. No scuffs so far.

[@osamaal-azzawi514]

How about the magbak case? I’m really interested in this one

[@jennifersteinkopf1294]

Yes same! I almost bought that one but they make you buy their $20 screen protector as well so I passed.

[@Paa375]

Great to see some new cases in your top 5 and yes I remember that fall with speck…classic video no doubt 🙏🏻

[@grinster399]

Thank you. I have been subscribed to your channel for many years, and your reviews are consistently very well done (!) ... interesting, come across as genuinely unbiased, and have always been helpful to my choosing accessories. eg. I now have a FloLab case (and extra buttons) on the way for my new iPhone 16 Pro Max.

[@Tootired2bgood]

Need to test the new Magbak Case. It’s awesome.

[@egx161]

Perfect. Just bought a 16 and need a case. Thank you

[@slightmindofficial7014]

now i believe you more Aaronnn... Thought that Mous will stay at number one, but with that cut for camera control it is become weaker on the corner... You're the best!

[@colinjensen]

Best Review Video so far. Obsessively watching them all today to pick a rugged iPhone 16 Pro Max case today.

[@samdeur]

Please also do a couple RhinoShield cases. The solid suit and the clear one. I’m thinking of getting the clear one. And one quadlock case for when I’m on my Bike

[@jkstdstang]

Great review! Just ordered the Flolab Matte black case for my inbound iPhone 16 with an extra set of the blue trim pieces. Normally, I’m a fan of the speck grip cases, but they’ve done away with the rubber grips and just molded lines into the plastic case now which after reading reviews seems to have cost them a lot of their customer base including myself. I’m excited to check out this Flolab case it’s hard to beat for the price and the customization trim accents is a neat feature.

[@justinstroud803]

Will you do one on the rokform and magbak cases for the 16?

[@vasiovasio]

Thank you, Aaron! You are one of the very, I mean VERY few KZbinrs that deliver Real Value with Real Reviews! P.S... the Dog is Insanely Polite and Good Boi! ☺☺☺

[@deanbaird]

Eager to see your review of cases with capacitive buttons (instead of lazy cutouts).

[@Averagenthusiast]

I got the flolab case because of this video and I love it, but make sure you get the transluscent case because the clear one scratches so easily with just MagSafe accessories

[@supacubano10]

Any thoughts on the smartish gripmunk or nomad leather cases?

[@jack_hallauer]

Loving my Peak Design Everyday case, even without any of their special locking accessories. Super sturdy and they handled the cutout very well. Definitely seems like it’d fall in the top 3 here.

[@jaydeschain4991]

Mous really drop the ball this time. I’ve always bought a Mous case but that huge cutout made me look elsewhere. Ended up with the Caudabe Synthesis and it feels like a quality product

[@ac7fd]

Add the Spigen tough armor to the test. It checks lots of boxes, isn’t crazy expensive and seems to pass most of your tests in my book. Great review

[@niksterche]

Which would be the best case if i'm only looking for maximum protection?

[@monkeyfish227]

Thanks. I was hoping someone would review these camera control buttons when using a case. A cutout makes the movement less “linear” and takes away the ease of sliding (which is what I assume). It would be helpful for those intending to use it to find out which non apple one is a good alternative. I would be surprised if all of them are working as nice

[@StetsonDoggett]

You are a legend. Thank you for all the work that you do!

[@LSMORTEP]

What about Nomad Rugged, as I have tested on last years is one of the only that don't make the iPhone wobble when typing on a flat surface.

[@haydennarine3756]

Been watching you for a while. I got a new iPhone 16 Pro and ordered a Flolab case based on your rating. I'm a little nervous because for my 14 Pro, my Mous Clarity case worked amazing and despite a few scuffs, still looks really good. It was the first time I only bought one case for my phone. Hopefully Flolab's new case works just as well, if not better.

[@haydennarine3756]

UPDATE: I got my Flolab "Surtect Tri-Fusion Magnetic Translucent Black" case yesterday evening. It's now 9:27am and the back looks like I've owned it for a year. There is almost no scratch resistance at all with so many micro-scratches. Also, the borders of the case feel nice and soft, but the plastic back feels cheap. It doesn't feel like a case that would withstand a high-impact drop. Flolab does offer a 30-day "hassle-free" return policy if the case doesn't match the customer's "satisfaction." However, it's only on unused products still in the box. Not sure how someone can determine if they are satisfied with their case in 30 days if it's not used. I'll probably use this case for a while until Mous cases go on sale. Tried and true product.

[@GilSanchezJr]

Hey Aaron, longtime viewer here. I remember coming across your channel when I had the iPhone 6 and wanted insight into the Lifeproof Frē Power years ago. Definitely have trusted your insight since then. Went with the Mous Limitless 5.0 last year and have not looked back. Great product, which is why I’m shocked they didn’t make it to the top spot this time around. Looking forward to to seeing an in-depth look into your number one pick in the near future!

[@techromancerzero2709]

Amazing reviewer! Doesn't waste our time with pointless blathering, clear, articulate, hits all the important points, good production values, and uses excellent testing methodology. I take my hat off to you sir! And bonus: a Canadian as well! 🍁

[@xJimboSlicex]

I think there's a pretty big void in the reviews this time around without mentioning any of the cases that cover the camera button AND allow you to use it's full functionality. I'm sure you're on it for the next case review video. As far as I know there are three cases that have this as of now: Apple silicone case, Supcase Unicorn Beetle Mag, and Spigen Ultra Hybrid T MagFit. I've ordered the latter two and will report back on my comparison.

[@travisbrown2459]

I’m not positive but I think Anker has one now too. Nvm I was thinking of the supcase…. Disregard

After watching your video i gave a shot to flolab and after returning the zagg Denali and spigen armor this one is the most comfortable to hold and looks great

[@WiddlePokeBunz]

I get my 16 plus tomorrow and this video convinced me to get the flolab case. I went with white and clear to show off the pink. Theyre on sale right now for 20 bucks on amazon and their website. They dont have the buttons on amazon right now so you need to get those on the website but be aware of shipping. So the 4 dollar buttons will be way more. I skipped out on the pink buttons and went with amazon for free shipping. If they add the buttons to amazon later i might snag them. Just feeling the case without having the phone yet, it feels great. Its not bulky or heavy so i feel confident it wont cause comfort issues with the phone over time. Also the magsafe design does hold my popsocket really well so im confident i wont drop my phone using that. Cant wait to pop it on my new phone tomorrow.

The Flolab looks like it has a screen cover that is prohibitively glossy. Is that what I’m seeing? Is that part of the case or separate?

[@99chopstixx]

You should consider reviewing the Bellroy Leather case. I’ve watched reviews on multiple cases and ordered 5 different cases on amazon but haven’t found a case I liked better than the Bellroy. A lot of these 16 cases are too bulky and don’t necessarily match the slightly curved edges on the phone itself. Or, they have an open cutout for the camera button which is a hard no for me. iPhone 15/16 is meant to be more ergonomic than the 12-14 models and a lot of these cases are shaped more like the 12-14 with sharper edges. Bellroy’s case seem to offer good protection and matches the phone shape rather well. Camera button cutout also doesn’t expose edges of the phone, and the phone doesn’t pop out easily. Though, leather may be a turn off for some.

[@abhishekparab2032]

I bought mouz armoured limitless 6.0 based on your previous recommendation 😢. As your review came late. I think I made a mistake 😢

Dont feel like that. I bought the same version with the clear back. Its still a very good case. It makes the top 5 for a reason. All the cases on this list are solid options
