Honestly- I’ve collected 3 cases now for this phone. Being a camera guy, the capture button has been my go to and is so natural to my use on the phone. I initially got the Spigen C1 because I loved the look but a week or so in, I got overwhelmed by its bulkiness. I then watched a review for the Flolab Surtec case- and it’s a beautiful case that feels great and compliments the initial phones feeling with a nice clear back but soft plastic edge- and I thought that was it. I was done hunting. That was until I went to the Apple Store and tried out their silicone case. There I was. Sold. Using the capture button has been nothing but a breeze with this and it made me realize how much I despised the cut-out style case. It caused harder presses which in turn resulted in blurrier photos and starts of videos.Honestly happy with the silicone and never ran into trouble with it, nor ever showed any wear on my previous phones apple cases. The Color selection this year was very nice too.
As someone who has used the supcase for many years I love the UB pro, one thing I’ve noticed is that port protection seems to be vanishing from cases, as someone who works in a kitchen my phone lives primarily in my pocket, and any phone tech will tell you using a case without port protection while keeping your phone in your pockets is a recipe for a lint filled charging port. I will continue to buy and support supcase for as long as they keep these high quality cases at reasonable prices with drop and port protection
How is the built in screen protector with sand and dust. I had one for my pixel ages ago and i work in a shop environment and it scuffed the screen up pretty bad rubbing around in there.
@@HighTechCheck I’m waiting on someone who would include comparison between black bezels (most of the protectors got them, at least the better ones) - how much they cut into the display. Last years iPhone’s bezels were already slim and 16 Pros have them even slimmer.
I absolutely will not buy a case with a cutout rather than a capture-button passthrough, but you still helped me finalize my decision on the Otterbox Lumen. It looks really good and the button seems to work well.
Used to like torras been using two of their cases on my 15 pro max but now switching to supcase for their camera control button. No matter how the case looks good like the caudabe paragon when I see the camera cut out it’s not for me 😂
I have tried OtterBox Lumen and Apple silicone case. I found the otterbox way too slippery. If you found it a bit grippy than that means the slippery cases must feel like a wet bar of soap. 🧼 Apples case was great but got a huge scratch from something I did and I only had it 1 week with no falls or drops of any kind. If I could make a recommendation, I would have the cases out of the box when discussing your top picks. The surprise case I enjoyed personally were the customizable ones. Even the magnetic back plates. Although, I buy cases to protect my investment more than for looks. Thank you for all your hard work. This has got to be the longest message I have ever written but does follow suit with this video. ✌️
1:05:45 I ended up going with this case. I care about protection more than looks. The charging port protection is also clutch. I have a pro max 12 and my charging port is just filled with lint and my chargers don’t stay glued to the phone anymore. Do we have to use that built in screen protector tho?
I had a lot of problems with the Torras O-Stand case (which I loved) with charging with a MagSafe puck. Too many times, even though the green circle appeared and the battery turned green, the phone got warm and lost charge overnight. Besides that, I loved the cases, though I wish they had a camera button instead of a hole.
Please help: looking for 16 pro case with durability, camera sliding or opening cover and action button without a cutout 😭 I fr cannot find one been looking for hours. Helppppppp
I need to know if Otterbox Core still makes the Confetti silicon case for the iphone 16 pro max. Do you know what is the most grippy case for this phone?
Waiting for the screen protector review because I can't decide. Still contemplating as to whether I buy a new 16 Pro Max or not because I cannot find a good screen protector for it.
interesting that in the end you didn't pick the Ringke Rugged Gear, but instead went with their Fusion instead. One thing I don't like about the Rugged Gear is that it doesn't have a big enough "foot" opposite the camera square lip like the Fusion does to keep the case level on a surface. Puzzling.
Great content. I was wondering, what about the wallet cases? They must be a good option. I hope you can make a review about them. Keep the great job on!
Looking forward for your screen protector test specially on the 16 Pro Max seems no manufacture are doing right, or they cover some pixels, rainbow effect or gap
I bought the zagg 4 way privacy, it is atrocious, it feels like i have the first ever privacy glass they released, it is very grainy, touch is is not responsive & the screen resolution has dropped drastically, i cannot wait to find the perfect one
Yeah, I`ve tried casekoo case for my iphone 14 pro max, it`s very durable. now uppgraded for iphone 16 pro max, may get a new one, their camera control button design looks nice.
Spigen cases are two pieces sure but they're not supposed to come apart like that. I've had two spigen tough armors for years and neither one has ever separated like that.
Be curious what you think of the SCF (Simply Carbon Fiber) cases. I've used those on previous phones with great luck. One oopsy with my iPhone 13 Pro Max.... I left the phone on the bed cover of my truck after getting some fuel and it flew off at 60mph and landed in the middle of the road and the phone came out okay with only minimal scratches!
What is the difference between the Benks Armor Pro and ArmorLite in terms of thickness? Are the sides the same? I want to get the thinnest option that has continuous side protection, unlike the Armor Air. Thanks
@@HighTechCheck Have you tested screen protectors for iPhone 16 Pro Max? I'm looking forward to the Zagg Glass XTR4, Shellrus, dbrand Prism 2.0, ESR Armorite, and Bodyguardz Apex Clear for iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Has anybody reviewed the rebel flex? I just purchased one, I'm getting the phone in the mail tomorrow. The sides are not covered but the corners and back are. It also comes with a tinsel string glass protector. Well the form keeps it as narrow as the regular pro without the sides. And I mean the pro with a full case.

Bro that's not a cutout on the Otterbox Lumen, it''s "shallow" because that's a completely different button on top of the camera control button Like??? lol
I think the sup case production may be inconsistent with the camera control. I’ve seen people struggle with it like you did in this video but I be seen others, including myself use it and it works like a dream. So it may be quality control rather than it just not working as well as a whole. 58:34
I loved UAG pathfinder but man what's that price ?? I see it's 65€ on amazon Germany. Instead I would buy 1 dollar case from aliexpress probably. Cases should be between max 5-15$
Super thorough! I Finally decided on a case thanks to your video but i forgot to use your link so heres this as a little thank you!🙃
which case did you decide on?
Thank you so much! Which case did you go with and why?
Salute to you for making a 4hr video. I can’t do it! 🤣🤣🤣💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
😂 Thanks T! Trust me, it takes its toll.
W vid indeed

Why is this video 4 hours? Good god man, you’re a legend.
4:26:55 the favorites conclusion
Thank you. Not all Hero’s wear capes.
thank you for the hard work! I think you are the first one to cover the dbrand Grip and I really wanted to see that case so thanks again!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support.
Huge review, thanks man!
Thank you for your support!
This is the best case video I have ever seen, keep up the good work
I wanted to order a case tonight and just saw notification for this video thanks a lot
Awesome video. Thank you, I keep coming back for reviews!
Thank you so very much for your continued support! 😉
The best case guide video ever made on internet. Huge. Tanks
This is like watching a snyder cut video 😅
😂
thanks for the video, you did amazing job.
I grabbed a snack, sat back and relaxed for four and a half hours!
Another outstanding video 👏🏻
Thank you so much Mary! Your amazing continued support is greatly appreciated 😉

Sameee
only just came across your channel. The amount of effort you put into these are just amazing. love your work!
Great video! It would be great to add the weight to each case and it would be the best phone case video out there 👏👏👏
You should include nomad in the next series. They have the best leather cases.
Awesome video! This helped me a lot
Great video, I’m really interested in seeing what you found out on the Mous or the dropguys cases.
this mister offers 4 hours of CRAZY VALUEEEEE
Have you ever tried the Mous cases? they advertise drop protection heavily!! they dropped the phone from a helicopter?!?!? why no Mous products?
I absolutely will not buy a case with a cutout rather than a capture-button passthrough, but you still helped me finalize my decision on the Otterbox Lumen. It looks really good and the button seems to work well.
Thanks a lot for this video, you're the best ! Do you plan on doing a review of Camera lens protection?
great job. congratulations
Many many thanks
It’s a wallet case but a review on the Smartish wallet slayer would be great
Used to like torras been using two of their cases on my 15 pro max but now switching to supcase for their camera control button. No matter how the case looks good like the caudabe paragon when I see the camera cut out it’s not for me 😂
What about Mous and Moft?
I have tried OtterBox Lumen and Apple silicone case. I found the otterbox way too slippery. If you found it a bit grippy than that means the slippery cases must feel like a wet bar of soap. 🧼

Hi, I apreciate very much the work that you give to these videos, and I was wondering where can I find the MagSafe accesory that external battery?
I had a lot of problems with the Torras O-Stand case (which I loved) with charging with a MagSafe puck. Too many times, even though the green circle appeared and the battery turned green, the phone got warm and lost charge overnight. Besides that, I loved the cases, though I wish they had a camera button instead of a hole.
with the dbrand case you mentioned the back scratched really easy but the reason its plastic is so you can put the skin on it and then it wont scratch
Kinda bummed we didn't see more of the Leather options. But other than that I appreciate the effort put into this.
Why there is no Nomad case review this year?
Thank you ❤
Any thoughts on the Rhinoshiled cases?
Except ESR not easy to get other cases in India however still loved the video- so relaxing.
I’m sorry to hear that KD, I do appreciate your support though.
Can you review the Arc Pulse?
Benks armor air vs pitaka ultra slim?
2:18:23 good one
any chance you selling some cases?
Great video. Please do more with FOLIO (wallet) cases. I've had one on my XR for years and I love it.
I am super clumsy, can you suggest the best case for dropping?
Thoughts on the new Flolab case?
which case would you reckon has the strongest magsafe magnet?
Please help: looking for 16 pro case with durability, camera sliding or opening cover and action button without a cutout 😭 I fr cannot find one been looking for hours. Helppppppp
nice 4hr bro
I need to know if Otterbox Core still makes the Confetti silicon case for the iphone 16 pro max. Do you know what is the most grippy case for this phone?
The skin for dbrand case goes on the back of the case it’s not for the phone
Is the one from CASEBANG worth it?
if the dbrand back was textured not sure if the skins would stick well. Thats also one of their main selling points is the skins.
love the caudabe sheath. rocking it right now!
Absolutely love it!
God bless youuuu!
great video
Isn't pelican good?
Waiting for the screen protector review because I can't decide. Still contemplating as to whether I buy a new 16 Pro Max or not because I cannot find a good screen protector for it.
Magic john cheap easy to set up and protective
Torras seem very good

I would love a video on this too

Yeah last year spigan had the black bezel on the screen protector but not this year and that causes the rainbow effect on the sides.
Flolab will have it fixed by mid October
The Belkin is the only one that has worked so far of the 5 that I tested
I bought the zagg 4 way privacy, it is atrocious, it feels like i have the first ever privacy glass they released, it is very grainy, touch is is not responsive & the screen resolution has dropped drastically, i cannot wait to find the perfect one
Try caseology
I would go with Supcase UB mag stand its missing in this video but the case is great.
Should've included the new Torras case and Casekoo cases.
Which new torras case?
Yeah, I`ve tried casekoo case for my iphone 14 pro max, it`s very durable. now uppgraded for iphone 16 pro max, may get a new one, their camera control button design looks nice.
Man you're missing out on Rhinoshield products, the OGs with customizing buttons and camera rims!!
Spigen cases are two pieces sure but they're not supposed to come apart like that. I've had two spigen tough armors for years and neither one has ever separated like that.
Very long but super informative video, thanks a lot @HighTechCheck
Thank u
how are you not gonna mention otterbox mous or rhinoshield??
Be curious what you think of the SCF (Simply Carbon Fiber) cases. I've used those on previous phones with great luck. One oopsy with my iPhone 13 Pro Max.... I left the phone on the bed cover of my truck after getting some fuel and it flew off at 60mph and landed in the middle of the road and the phone came out okay with only minimal scratches!
I have my eye on the encased case but I don’t see UA-camrs reviewing them 😔
Did I miss otter box?
Awesome video!
What is the difference between the Benks Armor Pro and ArmorLite in terms of thickness? Are the sides the same? I want to get the thinnest option that has continuous side protection, unlike the Armor Air.
Thanks
So both of the cases are the same thickness but have one big difference, the weight. The pro is 42.6g and the lite is 29g.

I think the swipe works best if you are not pressing too hard. Light swipes respond well.
not sure why no one review bellroy case
How abt caseology athlex
To the guy who watched it all, what are the cases without a camera control cutout? like the Apple one
Supcase & otterbox
Some of the Spigen ones too
I have the tech 21 evo pro max for the iphone 16 pro max
I loved UAG pathfinder but man what's that price ?? I see it's 65€ on amazon Germany. Instead I would buy 1 dollar case from aliexpress probably.
