The iPhone 16e has taken the area as Apple's many affordable choice, although it includes a slightly higher price than its forerunner. Protect your new device with a protective case from our selection.

Apple typically saves its phone announcements for September, but it made a mid-year exception for the iPhone 16e.

The current affordable member of the iPhone 16 series supersedes the iPhone SE, boasting a design that blends elements of both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 14. As a result, if you've invested in an Apple iPhone 16e, which begins at $599, you'll desire a brand-new case to protect your gadget.

The unforeseen release of the iPhone 16e has apparently taken noticeable case makers by surprise. Significant brands such as Case-Mate, UAG, and OtterBox are currently offering "iPhone 16e cases" that include big cutouts on the back, developed to accommodate the numerous camera lenses of the Apple iPhone 14, instead of the single lens of the 16e. This design oversight leaves a portion of the phone at risk to scrapes. As a result, we have excluded weblink cases that were not specifically designed for the 16e from our factor to consider.

An additional point to note is that the iPhone 16e doesn't sustain MagSafe, so we have actually mainly left MagSafe chargers off the list. On our assessment device, we connected an OtterBox Defender case that is marketed for the Apple iPhone 16e (and is the same case it sells for the Apple iPhone 13, 14, and 15). The magnet in the case did not connect to the phone, however we were able to attach a charger to the case and, with every little thing appropriately lined up, the phone charged.

Keeping that in mind, we identified a couple of appropriate alternatives both your phone's needs and your individual needs.
