The beauty of UG2 is it lets you see the whole screen up to the bezel for iP16PM. There is a 2-year warranty for cracks as well.

The UG2 is flush with the NOMAD Modern Rugged Leather Magsafe case so no rainbow effect at the sides.
i buy uGreen SP and Case first, but found that the quality doesn't match my expectation then proceed to just grab both silicon and UG2 from apple store.

This type of thing you should ask yourself which you prefer instead of taking our recommendation. Casing maybe, but accessories like these are usually cater to your own needs. You should know better.

No issues using cases with the opening. I started with Caudabe cases and have been using the Rebel Gen6 Frosted ever since. Never at any point do I feel that the button would be scratched or damaged.

Of course unless I accidentally dropped it and that exposed camera control somehow hit something sharp and hard..

I went from no control cover (ugreen) to having control cover (spigen) and now back to no control cover (nomad). I won't miss the control cover.

Been using the major camera control covered cases since day 1. From Apple silicone to Otterbox Lumen to Spigen.

There definitely won’t be scratches because all the cases i mention above have a soft rubbery feel on the inside of the camera control button. Only that taiwan youtuber will say have scratches because they are advertising their own rubbish taiwan brand case lol.

You can have a feel of the inside of the Apple Silicone and Otterbox Lumen at Apple stores.

For someone fussy like me, i would never want a case with an exposed hole for the camera control. All the swiping and soft press works perfectly.

Ordered the Tough Armor AI T to try because i love Spigens super strong Magsafe magnets and most importantly going for only $40 now lol

One of the first few that came up with a button cover case. Clearly overshadowed by the Spigen Ultra Hybrid T as both are similar type of Clear case.
Not much choices of full clear case with camera cover.. only supcase, spigen and magicjohn that I could order it.

i do know of Taiwan brand but they don’t ship to sg.. (no option)

but power support just release their clear camera cover after i got magic John. lol.

and you could get them from sim lim. But $99.

You're only looking for Full Clear Case right? 3 options are aplenty hahaha

Or you can just get several of the Spigen Hybrid T to change after they turn yellow. Pretty good prices right now from the 11.11 sale

Just joined the iPhone 16 family today, though have not received the phone yet :o

Looking for a nice, good casing for iPhone 16 Pro Max before the phone arrives. What do you all recommend?

Usually I don’t spend much on the casing, but when I look at Shopee, it seems that most of the casing listed do not have the part to protect the camera control button? (Or am I wrong?) I think they are reusing the design for iPhone 15 and below…?

Most cases now do not have camera control button covers.

Readily and easily available camera control button covered cases on 11.11 sale right now would be

Apple Silicone - $57~
Spigen Ultra Hybrid T - $35~
Spigen Tough Armor AI T - $40~

Alternatively, if you're looking for cheaper cases and don't mind the cutout for camera control, the Ringke Rugged case is a very good option at around $20.

Otherwise, Spigen cases are good options now with many also on sale at around $20.

Cases with Camera Control cover would cost twice as much or more.

Hey thanks for the recommendations.

Actually I am wondering:

For cases with the camera control cover:
I read past 20 pages in the thread, and also watched two videos by a Taiwanese, there will be scratches on the camera control button if we use a case that covers over the button? Because inner case for that part has some small pointers which will scratch that camera control button?

Does this apply to all cases with cover?
If yes, then I don’t get any cases that covers that button.

Then for cases without the camera control button cover:
Meaning we can feel the button with our finger since that part is open, can it really invite scratches? I only went to Apple Store to touch the phone once so I can’t really gauge or know. :o
