Poor design

Absolutely a poor design . My phone fell off car magnet , fell 6” and my zag screen saver cracked . So much for their drop test . The sides are not high enough to protest sides of phone. This happened week after I purchased it . It will be going back to store . Junk

Ive used the defender models on several phones in the past,….GREAT protection all around …UNTIL NOW!! The front bezel is now almost level with the screen…so really it offers very little protection for the screen edge……which is probably the most vulnerable part of the phone. Its a very strange part of the design to delete since it was the reason so many use that particular model. So im very dissappointed in this newest version for the iphone 16 pro
Thank you for your feedback regarding the new OtterBox - Defender Series Pro Hard Shell for MagSafe Series. We have taken your feedback to the company for future consideration.

Uncomfortable Grip and Camera Control Issues

I have used Otterbox since the iPhone 4S. They’ve always provided complete protection until now. Whether it was lack of collaboration with Apple or just engineering, this year’s defender pro has issues that lack confidence in the brand. Number 1 has to be the camera control button protection. There is none. A full inch on the most sensitive part of the phone is unprotected. The gap in this area creates another issue. For right handed individuals, it’s impossible to find a comfortable grip in the left hand. I can grip in my right hand, but that forces me to use my non dominant hand to type and swipe. Ive had the case for 1 week and dread picking up my phone every time. I expected more from a $65 case. I’ll be using my $7 ESR case which is superior to this. OtterBox is not recommended.
Hello! The new and improved design works seamlessly with Apple's new camera control button on the Apple iPhone 16 line of our cases. Our engineering team not only found that the new notch does not diminish the drop protection of the case, we also re-engineered these cases to be Drop+ 7x rated up from Drop+ 4x rated on previous versions.

Thin.

New case is very thin. Not near as robust and beefy as the otter box defender of the past. Camera lenses practically sit flush with outside of case so finger prints all over lens from talking on phone all the time resulting in blurry pictures. Cutout for camera is odd. Side zoom doesn’t work to often on iPhone anyways. Would have liked a simple button push and forget about the slide zoom on button with finger.

The edges catch in my pocket, the cutout for the camera button makes the case hard to hold, I liked their case on my previous 14 pro much better

my case broke and I had to replace the screen- a $600 cost.
We’re sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our cases are very protective, but some variables can’t be predicted. We’re happy to send a new OtterBox product under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer. Please reach out to us via chat with any questions or if you would like a new case.

Poor protection. Exposed screen. I have purchase Otterbox case for my previous phones, but this one is terrible. I don't know what they were thinking.

Excellent case for an iPhone 16 Pro!

I ended up making the purchase at Target because it was out of stock at my local Best Buy, but I love this case. It fits my iPhone 16 pro perfectly. Great texture and the cutout for the camera is perfect. Some have complained that the button is exposed, but you couldn't possibly operate the camera zoom function if it was covered. it charges my phone well on my Insignia 4-IN-1 Wireless charger stand also.

The case altogether is good except The side where the new camera button is. It broke pretty fast and was structurally unsound. Phone has scratches in it. Were the case failed.
