My phone constantly slips out of my hand because of this cutout. It’s horrible. I wish they would have provided another option for the defender pro case. There is a reason why I get the defender pro cases and have for years. Extremely disappointed in this design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. We have taken your feedback to the company for future consideration.
The design of this case is poor. The indent on the side allows for screen, or protector to crack when dropped. This happened to my husband within three days of having the new phone with case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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. Please reach out to us via chat, and we are happy to help with any other questions or concerns you may have.
I hate the cutout for the camera button, I feel it could’ve been designed better, instead it looks like a hack job, it ruins the hand feel and leaves the whole area exposed. I’ve been an Otterbox man for years, unless they redesign I’ll be looking for better options
