SpigenLiquid Air Designed for iPhone 16 Case [NOT Compatible with MagSafe], [Military-Grade Protection] - Matte Black

Case is just the right thickness. Does not add any unnecessary bulk, but has protection where it is needed on the sides. Raised lip around the screen is good for an average drop, obviously if you throw the phone that’s a different story. Not MagSafe compatible, but is thin enough on the back that it will still stay on my wireless charger on my nightstand. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quality case with as little bulk as possible.

I really like this case! So much so that I ordered another one just to have on hand (original in Matte Black, new one in Abyss Green)- It is NOT compatible with magsafe accessories, which for me is a PLUS! I don't want extra magnets on the back of my phone and I have no interest in magsafe accessories. If you search for "iPhone 16" cases you will find that the majority have the extra magnets in the case, so if you don't want that there aren't a ton of options.- HOWEVER, it IS compatible with magsafe chargers! I use an Apple magsafe charger and it snaps into place and charges perfectly.- This is a slim no-frills case, but does feel protective. It has a nice lip for the front glass as well as a lip over the camera lenses.- I find the feel of the case to be sufficiently grippy and to me it is very pleasing from a tactile perspective.- The buttons have plastic covers over the actual buttons, but there is a bit of an opening on the sides of each one. I'm not sure of the reason for this, but the buttons work very well and don't require extra force.- I find that the cutout for the camera control works very well. Keep in mind that the new camera control is a bit fiddly under the best of situations. I mainly use it to open the camera and take photos or videos quickly. I am also able to access options like zoom and such, but I don't rely on the button as the main way to change options. Some cases feature a special button that covers the actual touch button, but I'm skeptical of that approach. Note that one advantage of the cutout on this case is it is very easy to feel for the button and activate it for a quick photo / video.- A number of review have mentioned that the lighter-colored cases stain easily. I have the dark versions, so this is not an issue, but I can easily imagine the light colors attracting stains that can't be easily removed.- In summation, I think this case looks good, feels good, has nice buttons and cutouts and provides good protection.

I had this brand for my iphone Xr for about 2 years and it held up great. I decided to get it again when i recently got an Iphone 16 pro. This case gets the job done, is simple, clean. I love it. Fits perfect.

We liked the look, weight, fit and protection of these cases for our phones but the grip was less secure in our old hands than our previous Speck cases so we returned them. The price was nice but since we get cases to protect against accidental drops we decided on a more expensive but grippier alternative--like paying more for better insurance.

I've been using the Spigen Liquid case for my iPhones for many years now. When I bought my new iPhone 16 Pro recently, it was obvious I'd be purchasing the same model of Spigen case again.It fits perfectly and, coupled with a Spigen screen protector, offers a perfect balance of protection and slimness I like. The newer iPhone models are already so bulky so I didn't want to add extra bulk to the phone - this case is perfect for that.Also, this case isn't rubbery so it slides in and out of my pockets with ease (and without attracting dust) while offering the right amount of grip (there's some crosshatching on the back and sides). I was a little worried regarding the Camera Control button being open, but I haven't had any issues and it's nice having easy access to all camera functionality. Also, MagSafe and wireless charging is unhindered by this case.All that said, I'm not totally confident this case would offer significant protection from a hard drop above waist height on concrete (sidewalks etc.) - however I accidentally dropped my previous iPhone several times on wood flooring and thin-carpeted flooring with this model case on without issue. I'd say though, if you're not clumsy and don't tend to drop your phone very often, this is the perfect case. It has been for me with several versions of iPhone for about a decade now.

I’ve tried so many different cases since getting my iPhone 16. First of all, it is nearly impossible to find a non-MagSafe case. I don’t want MagSafe as they interfere with every one of my wireless chargers. The other cases have been too soft, too hard, too slippery, too grippy. Spigen has the perfect grip, weight, and all buttons are in the right place. The feel is a smooth matte soft texture that feels comfortable and durable in my hand. And the green color looks great and exactly as shown in the photos. I had a Spigen years ago on a previous phone, I don’t know why I ever tried anything else. This is the one.

I’m not sure what Spigen was thinking when they created this case for the iPhone 16 line up, but it seems like they have completely forgotten to add MagSafe to this case like they have in prior years.I loved using this case since the iPhone 12. It has great grip, great protection, and holds up against the test of time.If it included MagSafe this year, like it did in prior years that I would’ve given this a five out of five.

I’ve used Crave brand DualGuard cases for years, on my iPhone XS, then 13 Pro Max, then 16 Pro Max.I recently got a Backbone One Gen 2 game controller for the 16 Pro Max, and while it works with cases, the DualGard case by Crave was too big for the USB C connection to remain stable.I grabbed a Spigen Air as the protection looked good, but it is much slimmer. It’s been a surprise how good it is. Still very grippy but my phone feels much more sleek and less bulky. It feels like a different phone, and it took me a week to get used to it.And of course it works fine with the Backbone One game controller.
