Picking the Right Cover for Your iPhone 16e: Our Leading Picks

The Apple iPhone 16e is now Apple's least costly smart device, but it's not as economical as its predecessor. Safeguard your investment with one of these cases.

Apple schedules its major iPhone exposes for the autumn, but the company broke with tradition by unveiling the iPhone 16e in the middle of the year.

This more economical addition to the iPhone 16 family replaces the Apple iPhone SE, and its layout is a crossbreed of the Apple iPhone 16 and the iPhone 14. So, if you purchased an iPhone 16e and want to protect your $599+ purchase, you'll require a brand-new situation.

The off-cycle launch of the iPhone 16e appears to have caught some case manufacturers unprepared. Leading brands like Case-Mate, Speck and OtterBox are marketing "Apple iPhone 16e cases" with sizable square intermediaries on the back for the iPhone 14's multiple lenses instead of a smaller one for the solitary lens on the 16e. This leaves part of the handset needlessly available to scraping. As a result, we omitted cases that have actually not been especially produced the 16e.

It deserves pointing out that the iPhone 16e lacks MagSafe compatibility, which is why MagSafe battery chargers are mainly missing from our recommendations. We examined the OtterBox Defender case, created for the iPhone 16e, on our review tool. Even though the case's magnet didn't adhere to the phone, we had the ability to link a charger weblink to the cover and when appropriately aligned, the phone successfully billed.

That said, we did locate a few phone cases that should offer your handset and your needs well.
