Precise

This is a meticulously made case. It has precise tactile feedback for the buttons, the outside material is nice to touch. I had a PeakDesign case for iPhone 15 Pro (with a loop), this iteration is more refined. In other words, I like it very much and recommend it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Where’s the camera cover?
on December 10, 2024
Posted by: emiller
Case does nearly everything I want out of a case, and is a slight improvement over my previous case for an older phone.
If I could make one suggestion. The camera cutout area has ribbed edges. I feel like that would make it feasible to create some sort of rubber or plastic covering for the camera that would use the ribbed edges as a grasping point. Maybe something to think about in a future iteration as I think that would help justify the premium price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Case
on December 19, 2024

I started using this case with my iPhone 12 and have recently upgraded to the 16. The bones of the case have remained the same but they have made upgrades to the MagSafe magnet strength and have changed the buttons to a hard molded plastic which feel much nicer than the earlier cases. I also have the locking phone mount (Ram mount) and it is a great accessory to have if you want more security on top of the MagSafe. The case for my iPhone 12 was not compatible with screen protectors (or at least the screen protectors I was using at the time) this new case seems fully compatible with screen covers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great quality

This case has excellent feel and fit to the iPhone 16 Plus. It has the aesthetics of a premium case with the benefit of being able to attach to the mounting system and other Mag lock devices.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good attempt, premium materials but misses the mar

I got this case in Bone when it came out. Unfortunately the case has taken on color in the form of black dye from my pants in my pocket and it doesn't seem to be something that washes out. The camera control cut out is also a good attempt but not a smooth experience in practice. It feels like I need to really dig my thumb into the side of the case to get to the camera control button.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

An awesome refresh on an already great product

I bought one of these cases for my iPhone 13 Pro back when I got it, and after recently updating to an iPhone 16 Pro, updated to the latest version of this case. It’s as awesome as the 13 version, and after using the phone for a few days sans-case, it’s like having an old friend back. Designed and built just as well as the 13, if not better. Another great Peak Design product!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent materials and build, a few design flaws.
on February 5, 2025
Posted by: Joe B
Pros:
1) Very solid material on the bumpers at the edges of the case with a good sense of grip even when wet
2) Amazing magnetic connection that really amplifies MagSafe functionality
3) The texture and tactile feel of the back material on the cloth variant of this case is satisfying to my sense of touch -- I really love having this case in-hand and just makes wielding my phone so much better
4) The proprietary link system adds an extra level of security for more heavy-duty tasks that someone might use their phone for, such as motorbike or bicycle riding

Cons:
1) The camera control cut-out feels just a tiny bit too narrow and I wish it was a little bit open. With or without a case, I find the "half-press" and sliding functions of the camera control to be too finnicky and I have them disabled, but this case's opening for camera control still feels just slightly too restrictive -- and I have small hands so this isn't really a large fingers issue. It just feels like it takes a little too much effort to actuate the camera control due to the relatively small size of the opening to access it.
2) The bottom sections that allow for strap attachment feel a little too deep. This is NOT an aesthetic issue for me, it's purely a tactile feel and comfort issue -- any time I rest my hands at the bottom of the phone with this case on, it feels like my fingers or thumbs get uncomfortably wedged a bit into the extra gap space at the bottom. I understand this is to expand the case's capabilities even further into Peak Design's existing ecosystem but that's a particular function that I personally have no interest in and I experience the slight discomfort just often enough to bring it up in my overall assessment here.

Overall, this case is still excellent and I like it enough to not seek an alternative, but I kind of wish there were a slightly more basic version (maybe an "Essential") variant that addressed the flaws I outlined above -- because that would make it PERFECT! But as it stands, this is still an EXCELLENT case and will be the case that I use for the lifetime of my phone!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beautiful, but slippery
on February 11, 2025
Posted by: scs68

Beautiful, professional looking case. The buttons are sleek but tactile, and the magnet works perfectly with the tripod. I only wish that the case was a little less slippery in my hand. Both the fabric style back and the sides are quite smooth. I'd feel more confident taking my phone out of my pocket if the sides had just a slight tacky feel to them. Otherwise, perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!
