pitaka iPhone 16 Pro Case 6.3” - MagSafe Compatible, Ultra Slim with Caseless Feel, 600D Aramid Fiber Woven - Black/Grey (Twill)

I found portals two years ago when I was looking for a super thin case for my iPhone 14 Pro, so when I got the new 16 Pro I knew I had to try out pitakas newest case and it once again blew me away. To start, though this case is very thin and light, it does of course add some weight, but that added weight is welcomed with this extremely light phone. (For the couple of days I had it outside of the case I was always terrified that it would slip right out of my hands)! Along with that it adds a nice bit of grip to the back and sides as well as adding some extra protection and stability over the 14 pro case. The camera protector this year is a natural silver (solving the problem of the paint wearing off of the black painted ones) and when putting the phone down on its back, it feels very stable to type with, not nearly as rocky as without the case. I would also like to point out how portals dealt with the new camera button. Their cutout design works amazingly well, I haven’t had any accidental presses since using this case and you can barely tell it’s there, but when you do need it, the case gives it a ton of space, allowing you to easily slide your finger right across, something that’s been an issue with other cutout cases. I will say though, the sides this year pop out the least they have before, so be warned if you’re using a screen protector, the screen protector glass might make contact when putting the phone face down, but on the positive side, the edges of the case never get in the way! This case is great and I couldn’t recommend it more for someone wanting a thin, sleek, beautifully designed case!

I’ve owned iPhones since the 3G and have upgraded nearly every year. Always been a fan of minimalist cases because I don’t like the additional bulk, and I’m typically pretty careful with not scratching or dropping my phones. I just want a case that’s ultra slim, has added grip since the iPhones are really slippery, and doesn’t have any protruding edges to get in the way when swiping towards the edges of the display.I’ve tried many cases throughout the years, and they all have their pros/cons. The couple of ultra slim cases on top of my list are the Peel/Torras and Spigen Thin Fit cases. While the Peel/Torras cases are probably the thinnest I’ve owned, they offer zero protection other than to prevent scratching, but the biggest issue I have with them is how slippery the cases are. In fact, I found them to be even more slippery than the phone itself. Then came the Spigen Thin Fit, which was actually my go-to for a couple iPhone upgrades. It was thin and offered a soft-touch type of grip which I really liked. Over time, however, the thin portions of the edges such as around the volume buttons would crack, and the corners would start wearing out. These were more cosmetic issues, but the case overall served me well, and I appreciated the stealth black aesthetics.The all-black Spigen case was starting to look a little bland after a few years, and then I came across Pitaka. I’ve always loved the carbon fiber look, and so their cases instantly caught my eye. The price was tough to swallow compared to the other cases I mentioned above, but not too much more compared to the bulkier cases from other name brand case manufacturers. Seeing I’m paying for it only once every time I got a new phone, I decided to try it out, and I’m super glad I did.I’ve been a Pitaka fan since I got their first case for my iPhone 8, and I’ve exclusively bought their cases ever since all the way up to the current iPhone 16 Pro. Their minimalist cases have all been a perfect fit, with enough grip, minimal edges to not get in the way of swiping around the display edges, outstanding aesthetics, and long term durability. I’ve especially always loved how the bottom of the case has zero edges because I swipe up so often from the bottom, but others have disliked the lack of protection. This year, they took it one step further and added coverage on the bottom, but they didn’t make the bottom edge sit as high up as the other sides so you’d continue not to feel the case when swiping up. I love their attention to detail such as this.Another thing they did was embed magnets to this thin case so that your magsafe accessories attach sturdily. In prior years, they had two case models: an ultra thin air case without magnets, and a magsafe case that has magnets but is a little thicker and heavier. This year, they were able to have an ultra thin case with embedded magnets, doing away with needing another thicker, heavier model if you wanted magnets.I’ve had numerous products from Pitaka over the years - from each of their iPhone case iterations, to their car mount chargers and their Apple charging station, and none have disappointed. They’re all carefully thought through to be practical, functional, durable, and to look good. Their customer support is also always super responsive if you have questions or need help. Pitaka will be my go-to for all Apple accessories for years to come.

First of all I am use Pitaka cases for about a 6+ years for every new iPhone that was released and for other products that I have and for what Pitaka makes accessories.And for that years I also tried many other cases from other companies so I can make my own user experience from compare different products.And I can say for sure that when you get any of Pitaka products you always can be sure that it will top quality product that looks and feels premium.Pitaka for few last years increase available variants and colors for their products and now anyone can find variant that he likes.About this model:Pros:Quality that you feel and see, starting from packingRemarkable Pitaka designNew improved Amber Magnet Film coating that allows integrate MagSafe to make case even more thinner and lighter and have very strong MagSafe accessories connection.Feels and looks luxury. Not dull cheap carbon like product.Not slip (!) - that very important for me.Fit perfectly + and as in previous year case there is included in pack special stickers/pads - for improve fit in situations when because of quite different manufacturing tolerances fit was not perfect. I never see in other brands products anything like this - it can tell how much Pitaka worry for their customers to be sure that they have best user experience.It is so light and thin, even more than previous years so you can feel pure design of iPhone but with improved tactile and protection.It help me to get rid of new camera button accidental pressings that I was have with original silicon case. And you can see on my photo how much thinner it is, after using Pitaka Ultra-Slim case using original silicon case feels bulky and not comfortable.ConsPriceBecause of lightweight and slim - ultra-slim case display protection not as good as in other their cases.No included bonuses like screen protector of something.
