Overall case was fine, but I couldn't get past the complete cutout for the new camera button. The cutout was right where my pinky rests, and the sharp edge on the phone kept cutting into my pinky. Ultimately I returned the case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Bethany! 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.
Too slick, it falls out of my hands off surfaces and pockets. My previous otter box was not so slippery. I do like the low profile & edge protection. Cost was too high to replace again. I don't remember online description including how slippery/not grippy about this case is.
Nice looking case, however the void for the new camera button exposes a weak point in protection. The exposed area is easier to break if dropped.

The white magnet ring and strip keep coming off the case and are sticking to my phone. Wouldn’t recommend for the cost.

I have trusted OtterBox for most of my phones, but this time it’s a flop. All is protected well EXCEPT the screen edge where the bonus button on the iphone 16 is; the case is completely cut out in that area.

I understand why the cutout for the camera button is there, but the case is NOT conducive to using with the Glass Otterbox Screen Protector. The area that is cut out for the photo button peels up the glass protector.

I’ve only had this case for a few weeks now and it’s already getting discolored on the sides. Very disappointed for such an expensive case.

Nice looking case, but the area over the photo slide button is completely unprotected. This is not what I would come to expect from OtterBox. Very disappointed.
