The latest iPhone 16 Pro models come in gorgeous metallic colours this year that you're going to want to show off. However, if you're a stickler for keeping your phone pristine, or have a tendency for dropsies, you're going to want to put it in a case. 

Phone cases change the look and feel of your phone, so if you've just upgraded to the latest iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro Max model, you're not going to want a case that downgrades it something generic. Sure, put a five quid case on an old Android device, your that old Windows phone, but when you've spent considerably on the phone, don't scrimp on the case. 

I spent the last year using my iPhone 15 Pro Max caseless, and have the scratches to prove it. Surprisingly though, it's still looking pretty good – I have managed to just catch it a couple of times before it hit concrete though. So will I do the same this year? I'm undecided. 

There's a lot of options these days when it comes to phone cases, even before the phone has officially gone on sale. There are luxury leather finish cases for that premium look, silicone cases for grip and bold colours, clear cases to let that original colour shine through, and ultra high protection models to keep your phone safe even in high impact scenarios. 

Of course, you don't need to stick to just one case – you can chop and change between cases to match your mood or occasion. To help you on your way, I've rounded up some of the best new cases available for the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. Many of these will also be available for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, as well as older models.
