pitaka for iPhone 16 Pro Case 6.3", Refined Protection, Premium, Black/Grey

Right now I am mainly using Pitaka's Ultra-Slim case for day to day stuff. However, this heavier duty case is very very nice. Though on a day to day basis I'm not too terribly worried about big falls, for travel and other situations where I can't risk my phone getting damaged, this case allows an extra layer of security while still being very slim and light. This case has pretty clicky buttons (at least compared to other full body phone cases I've used) as well as a fairly nice action button cutout which nicely allows for its use. The build quality is very nice as well as the texture on the back (which looks absolutly gorgeous, even in gray). Overall, this is a very nice case if you need a bit more protection without sacraficing weight or beauty.

A great case: light, gorgeous, protective. Like: sleek, clean, nice color, not too much heavier than the less protective one, and certainly great comparing to other silicone based cases. Good magsafe integration!. Neutral: smooth back so less texture but still good grip. This may actually be a positive, but time will tell if it slips out of my hand or not. I do love the feel of it. Possible drawbacks: The buttons move a tiny bit but are secure ( not a huge deal) and the cut out for the camera button isn’t the best fit but certainly fine. Really minor, but in the interest of thoroughness. One other comment. Like the less protective model, the front of the case does not protrude enough to keep a glass screen protector from being the main point of contact when placed face down. I would recommend either no screen protector (makes sense when getting a premium case such as this) or plastic (also makes senses if you are considering a protective case - you may also want to protect your screen) Overall - a great case! Highly recommend!

I'd give this product a 4.5 star rating if it was an option, but not a 5 star. I've used Pitaka's cases on two of my previous phones, they fit well and the protection on the body side is excellent. This particular model is also very attractive to look at with the blue weave of the composite. When this model loses a half star (ultimately a full star due to the rating system) is that the rubber bumper just doesn't extend far enough towards the screen side. If it was even 0.5-0.75 mm higher, it would have been just perfect, but as it is, there's just not enough height to reduce the potential for screen damage as much as it could have been provided.

This case is an absolute standout choice for those seeking quality and protection. While it is on the pricier side, comparable to Apple or other top familiar brands, it’s features make it worth considering. The inclusion of MagSafe is a significant advantage, potentially elevating it to the best case available on the market. Fitment is critical, and this case excels in that area. It snaps in with a satisfying click, ensuring no dust collects behind the phone. The interior back is covered with a felt-like material labeled as “leather,” which effectively shields against small debris. Additionally, the MagSafe “ring” is cleverly hidden inside the interior, avoiding any raised bumps that might detract from the phone’s sleek design or misalign the phone in the case. The case is billed as “military grade,” which translates to the better equivalent of a carbon fiber weave. This provides a rigid frame without blocking electrical signals, seamlessly melded to a TPU interior. This combination hypothetically offers good drop protection, and the fiber weave is visible, as it seamlessly transitions to TPU, for the raised lip and the camera control slope. Aesthetically, the all-black design is cool and understated. The metal buttons, reminiscent of aluminum, work flawlessly over the stock buttons, and there is a pleasant sloped inlet for the camera button instead of a dedicated button. This design choice is helpful for your finger to find the camera button and slide into it, and does not compromise functionality. Overall, this case is a well-fitting and protective shell, constructed from a TPU cushioning layer under a fiber weave. It maintains an airtight envelope for the phone, ensuring both safety and style. If you prioritize quality, protection, and MagSafe compatibility, this case is definitely worth a look. Compared to other Top brands, it simply protects more iPhone, and doesn’t sacrifice thinness in this endeavor. This could be the best case I have ever owned. It’s very nice. Quality is luxury, fitment is glove-like, and the materials are surprising ultra-premium.

For those shopping for a protective, yet attractive and comfortable case then this is a win. Look no further. Smooth to the touch, a full delight to handle in hand. All buttons are covered with individual covers giving an amazing tactile feel as if you were handling the phone naked. The camera cutout is perfect. It is recessed around the button so you don’t feel like you are pushing your finger in a deep cutout hole with rough edges. Very comfortable to use. Camera lay on the table protection is always a plus on these expensive lenses. The front of the case has no lip, as you can see in video, you just see my screen protector. Those lips get in the way with your finger slide in so this approach makes it seamless comfortable finger slide experience onto screen. This hits all the high points of a quality case. Full protection with a minimum non bulky design.

These are rubber cases. There is nothing about them that is advanced material in any way. No carbon fiber. No arimid weave.... rubber.

I always liked the styling of the Pitaka cases for its carbon fiber look and strong shell. I did purchase the thinner case, but wanted to check out the thicker military-grade protective case. One difference I immediately noticed was the weight compared to the thinner case. It definitely felt heavier as this has the additional material to protect the phone. After using the phone with this case I did enjoy the added weight as it gave me reassurance that the phone had more protection from accidental falls. One small thing I noticed was that the buttons do protrude a little compared to the thinner case so if you plan to lean your phone on its side to stand you might want to get the thinner case as that one sits flat compared to this case. Also, this case is a little easier to pull off compared to the thinner case if you've had issues before. Either way I'll probably have this in the lineup for the added protection and switch it out with the thinner case during the summer for the lighter weight.

I have always been very pleased with the phone cases, AirPod cases, and watch band purchased from Pitaka. This time I went for the Military-Grade Protective Case. I was concerned that the extra protection might come with “extra bulk” and that the buttons on the case would feel or respond differently than the actual phone buttons, but clearly Pitaka has thought this through. The case is only minimally thicker, due mainly to the very thin ridge on the front of the case protecting the screen and the buttons on the case feel exactly like the actual phone buttons. The aramid fiber case looks and feels great. The woven fiber provides just the right amount of texture for comfortable grip and the phone still slides into my pocket easily. The phone cases are visually unique (colors and patterns) and I constantly get comments/questions about the case. My previous Pitaka phone cases have held up extremely well and still look new even after a couple of years use. Almost feel guilty replacing phone when case still looks so new. Bottom line; if you want a case that provides great protection, feels nice in your hand, and looks exceptional - look no further than Pitaka.

I originally bought this for my first iPhone. Wanted something thin and still protective. I got tempered glass screen protectors too. In the 6 months I had this case on the phone 7 screen protectors broke from minor drops. The screen protector stuck out past the lip of the case The case also got really nasty feeling and shiny and couldn’t be cleaned off. I ended up getting a tineeowl case for less than 1/6 the price I paid for this. It’s so much better and it comes with a camera control button. Don’t buy these over priced pitakas. Their marketing material is bs and they don’t protect your phone they just have crazy high prices for no reason at all. Get a tineeowl don’t want $130 on a case that sits in a box in the closet like me.
