The Best iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Cases of 2024

All iPhone 16 models are equipped with Apple’s MagSafe feature, which offers faster wireless charging with compatible chargers. It also supports: Optional accessories — including MagSafe wallets, mini wallets, and various holders — that magnetically attach to the back of your phone. Like the iPhone 15, the iPhone 16 has “an array of magnets” (Apple says they’re recycled) placed around a charging coil, and can draw up to 15 watts of power.

If you want to use MagSafe accessories without removing your phone from its case, you need a phone case that has MagSafe support. The MagSafe icon is a circle with a short tube underneath. You can see it on clear cases, but it’s recessed into the inside of the case, so if it’s not clear, you’ll only see it from the inside.

If you already have a MagSafe accessory — or plan to buy MagSafe accessories in the future — you’ll want to get a MagSafe-compatible case, which is a good option. With that in mind, most of the cases in this roundup are MagSafe-equipped.
