I just received the case for my iPhone 16 Pro and it has a major design flaw. Too much material has been cut out of the bevel where the new camera action button is, leaving the top strip weak and very flexible. Not only that, but it is also constantly engaging the button due to the flexibility of the top strip when in my pocket. A huge step behind in an ecosystem I bought into years ago and have leveraged for everything from my Canon cameras to my motorcycle.
I love the feel of the case. My only concern is that the case is very close to being flush with the screen. Most cases are raised a little higher to protect the screen more. It wasn’t a deal breaker though and I decided to keep the case. Also, bottom part of case makes overall length of the phone a little bit longer in length. Again not deal breaker but wasn’t expecting this when I first purchased.
I’ve had the everyday case for most every iPhone since the case came out. Needless to say, I love it. I loved that they replaced the case last year to address the action button issue.
And that’s where the but comes in. I’m really hoping they address the cutout for the camera control. The cutout is challenging to have with that button. Maybe it’s just my fingers, but I can’t easily use the button.
I liked the case for my iPhone 15 Pro Max so much that I bought one for my 16 Pro Max. they wear like iron and I love that I can put the phone on my bike and not feel it is as risk
No other case can give me the security and comfort of the Peak Everyday. In my daily life I slap a wallet from Peak on the back. For about 2 hours a day I commute using my speedy Cannondale gravelbike on all kinds of surfaces. When arriving to work I have been able to check my email etc making me prepared for managing my school as a principal.
Nice to hold, looks nice and is usable in all situations from biking to set on the fridge while making dinner.
I got this case while waiting for my iPhone 16 Pro Max to arrive. I’m so glad I did! I got tired of Apple’s cases getting worse every year and had heard good things about these ones from a podcast (ATP).
Why is it good? The texture feels great. The buttons are responsive - not too stiff and exactly the right shape. The slot for the new camera button doesn’t inhibit usage. The magnets and MagSafe support are pretty strong, so my bedside charger (not Peak Design brand) works great with it. Unsurprisingly, my Peak Design wallet and car mount also work great.
I would definitely recommend this case and Peak Design’s other accessories.
