In case anyone’s interested, I can recommend the Spigen Liquid Air for the 16 Pro. While it doesn’t have the embedded MagSafe ring like my Spigen case for the 15 Pro did, I was willing to forgo that in order to reduce the overall weight of the new phone. Based on the published specs of both the phone and the cases, the net effect is to eliminate all of the weight gain in moving to the new phone.
The Liquid Air was only $17 at Amazon, available in multiple colors, has an understated look, and has trim dimensions while offering decent protection. And the biggest advantages it has over comparable Apple ™ cases are:
- it’s not so grippy that it gets caught in your jeans pocket when removing it
- the action of the buttons is super clicky, not mushy like the Apple cases I tried a few years ago
