The iPhone 16e has taken the spot as Apple's most budget-friendly option, although it comes with a slightly higher cost than its leader. Guard your brand-new tool with a safety case from our option.

Apple schedules its major iPhone reveals for the fall, but the company broke with tradition by unveiling the iPhone 16e in the middle of the year.

This more affordable addition to the Apple iPhone 16 family members changes the Apple iPhone SE, and its layout is a crossbreed of the Apple iPhone 16 and the Apple iPhone 14. So, if you purchased an iPhone 16e and want to safeguard your $599+ purchase, you'll need a new instance.

The off-cycle launch of the Apple iPhone 16e looks to have actually captured some case makers off-guard. Top brands such as EFM, UAG and OtterBox are offering "iPhone 16e cases" with large square cutouts on the back for the Apple iPhone 14's numerous lenses as opposed to a smaller sized one for the single lens on the 16e. This leaves part of the mobile phone unnecessarily open to damaging. Therefore, we left out cases that have not been particularly made for the 16e.

It's worth stating that the Apple iPhone 16e lacks MagSafe compatibility, which is why MagSafe chargers are greatly missing from our suggestions. We tested the OtterBox Defender case, made for the Apple iPhone 16e, on our evaluation device. Even though the cover's magnet didn't adhere to the phone, we had the ability to link a charger to the cover and when appropriately aligned, the phone successfully billed.

That said, we did locate review here a few phone cases that should offer your handset and your needs well.
