Terrible case - the hole in the side for the camera was too open. Our screen protector keep cracking because of this. We have since switched to another brand. Otterbox has always been our go to but not for the iPhone 16 pro.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Would be nice if the case covered the camera button on the 16 pro on the top of the screen and did not have a cut out, providing the trusted otterbox protection I was hoping for when I purchased the case.

Hello! The new and improved designed cases work seamlessly with Apple's new camera control button on the Apple iPhone 16 line of 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. Please give our CS Team a call, or reach out to us via chat, and we are happy to help with any other questions or concerns you may have.
Phone fell from airplane seat to floor in front of seat. Screen chipped/cracked at cut out for camera shutter. Screen protector cracked in two places. Phone/Otterbox have been used less than a week. Son’s screen protector broke after two days of use.

Hello, Joy! 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 give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you’d like a new case or screen protector.
I hesitated to rate 3 instead of 2 but otter box has always been good for me in the past. I wanted to like it but the dealbreaker for me after I had it in my hand was the cutout for the camera button. Corners on either side of it were very clunky and no border to guard that inch or so of the screen left to much to chance for breakage in my mind. 2 layers of case yet an open area. Felt not 100% protected. Sent it back.

Hello, Teddy! We are so sorry to hear the design of this case necessitated a return. If you have any questions that arise regarding that return, please reach out to our CS Team by phone or via chat, and we are happy to help!
Nice case from otterbox but the cutout for the camera button leaves the screen exposed to damage. Already broke one screen protector and it’s not super comfortable to hold in your hand. It would be nice if they had a non cutout version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very dissatisfied extremely unhappy this case has already broken in two places and having a opening like it does causes your cellphone to get damaged when it gets dropped by accident this needs to be relooked at on how to make it right a new designed is needed very sad not a happy customer and I love Otterbox also if you buy after market camera lens protectors you can not use because it legit won’t fit a other disappointment

Love Otterbox cases. My phones have always come out pristine after years but this one has a flaw. The case is actually wearing through the finish on the phones trim where the camera notch touches it. Definitely a miss.

Was so happy that the defender case finally got MagSafe. But, the design of the camera button is terrible! Not sure who on the design team thought this was a good idea.
