for iPhone 16 Pro Max Case 6.9", Refined Protection, Black/Grey | Premium Aramid Fiber, Seamless TPU Fusion, Camera Control Button, Compatible with MagSafe, Minimalist

I have been purchasing Pitaka products for my personal use and gifting them since my iPhone 6 back in 2014. That gives me a decade of experience, and puts me in a unique place to review not only the quality of the products, but also the customer service and evolution of the brand. I have purchased many items during that timeframe, including a charger and case still in use for an iPhone X I use for work. About a month ago, I upgraded my personal phone from a 14 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max. So of course I needed to get a new Pitaka case. Having enjoyed the military grade protection on the 14, I opted for it again for my new iPhone. Right out of the box I was pleased. There were numerous product enhancements made over the previous version that I immediately noticed. Subtle, yet important differences like how the edges around the bezel surrounding the screen were rounded over now. In the previous version, even after two years of use, those edges remained somewhat sharp to the touch and uncomfortable to hold against your ear for a prolonged period of time. Now it is extremely smooth and comfortable against the face. The quality of the blend of materials from the aramid fiber on the backside to the material that hold the phone in place is more refined. The buttons themselves are a much higher quality and are metal now. They feel substantially better, and so much easier to use than the older model’s rubber buttons. You really had to press hard on the old ones. These just work as they should. The camera bump is also more refined and symmetrical, giving the back a cleaner look, while maintaining superior protection to the camera lenses. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. A solid 4 3/4 stars if that were a thing. Just buy it already! There are barely two ‘cons’ worthy of mention in my opinion. One is a personal preference, and the second one we’ll need some time to see how it plays out. The first is how they went to printing the full name ‘Pitaka’ on the backside vs. the smaller company logo. It is done well, and isn’t ostentatious. My preference when it comes to branding leans more towards subtlety, so I’ll leave it at that. The other area of concern for me- and it is new to all of us, involves that new side button for the camera. When picking up the device, I tended to grab and squeeze the area exactly where this new button is positioned. So for about two weeks, I kept unintentionally engaging the camera. I am now consciously trying to pick it up at about the middle of the sides to avoid turning the camera on every time. That’s on me. But what does this have to do with a con regarding the case you ask? That is precisely my second point. With the military protection grade case, there is a piece of unreinforced rubber that goes along the top of the button, parallel to the screen. When I was picking the phone up in the previous manner, right over the button, I can feel that rubber piece stretch upward every time. It feels too flexible for a case of this strength and quality. My concern is that, in time, this could tear and expose a part of the topside of the case next to the screen. Not only would it be unsightly, it could leave about a one inch gap of the top edge unprotected. My initial thought was if they old mold a piece of wire or plastic in there to increase the rigidity that would solve the problem. For now, all is good, and in the event this worst-case scenario plays out, I am confident the world-class customer service team at Pitaka will make it right.

Just upgraded my iPhone. I bought two cases - the Urban Armor and this Pitaka one. I've owned Pitaka cases and mounts for at least 5-6 years, and bought them for every iPhone and iPad I've owned iun this time. I've been pleased with most, disappointed by a couple. This particular case, is definitely among the best - not just from Pitaka, but best I've used. The fit - as always - is impeccable. The spacing at the bottom around the ports and microphone are exact. Same around the camera. The feel is soft. There are other cases with aramid texture, which I actually prefer, but this case is soft without feeling slippery. The edge is very slightly elevated around the edge to protect the glass. I'm using an UltraGlass screen protector, and there is a good 1-1.5mm ridge around the edge. The main reasons I preferred this case over the Urban Armor (which by the way is $64!) are: bulk, and the size of the ridge which on UAG I found to be too high. Swiping up from the bottom was difficult and required retries too many times. (Separate review on this). The Pitaka cases generally protect well, but I've bought the ultra slim ones in the past and regretted it. So this case is a good balance between slimness and protection. Also I have an iPhone 16 PM for work for which I bought another Pitaka case (the one with "caseless" feel and a sliver ridge around the camera). That ridge feels sharp compared to the one on this new case. I much prefer this one. Most of all the case looks incredibly high end and stylish. The buttery smooth finish belies its strength. For a case that protects as well as it does you’ll be amazed that it doesn’t feel at all bulky. An OtterBox killer, in my view. Overall, I highly recommend this case. It balances look, feel and protection extremely well. Can't go wrong.

The precision in which the case has been developed, is exact, allowing access to all areas of the phone. The case provides complete Protection when placing the camera face down and during drops.. The camera lenses are protected with a raised metal lip, which allows the phone to be placed safely down screen up. I have installed an x5 stronger invisible shield glass elite screen protector, which causes no issue with the raised front bezel. Napa leather lines the inside of the case protecting the phone from scratches. Metal buttons covers, which are lined, provide precision touch response. All cut outs including the speaker grills are lined up perfectly, as is the USB cut out, allowing accessories to be placed on this unit with ample room for USB connectors. They have shaved the top of the case, ever so slightly allowing that speaker to be unobstructed. The new camera button cut out is precise. It could be slightly more rigged on the screen bezel, but causes no issue using the button and is actually more comfortable with the softness of the TPU. I have purchased the Pitaka ultraslim case as well, however, I have used it only a few times due to the small form factor of the military grade case, as I switch them out quite regularly. This is somewhat unusual, but pleasantly surprising. The texture provides a smooth yet nonslip surface and is extremely comfortable to hold. The magnets are even stronger than previous generations and that together with the slim board technology allows the phone to charge just as if it didn’t have a case. MagSafe accessories attached to the back of the caseeven better than before. I test all cases with a small table drop prior to daily carry. It maintain its integrity and stayed on the phone perfectly whichpassed as expected with no issues. The case is aesthetically pleasing and extremely slim. I am extremely satisfied with this case and recommend it highly..

This is my third time purchasing a Pitaka Pro case (I’ve purchased them for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max). Their pro cases are top tier when aiming for a sleek/minimalist look combined with a high level of protection. I think this case is even step up from the older models in terms of ergonomics and how it feels in the hands as it has softer/rounded edges. This case is slim/lightweight and in my opinion, protrudes as much as it needs to where it needs to (just above the screen and cameras). I don’t use a screen protector and haven’t had issues damaging my phone with this type of fitment. My phones have taken a few tumbles over the years and the pro cases have always held up which is why I keep using them. I will say this case is a little slick in the hands out of the box, but has gotten more grippy after a week of use. I would absolutely recommend this case to anyone considering. Update: After using the case a bit more, I wish they found a way to conceal the action/camera button within the case while allowing the touch function to be utilized. The button isn’t the easiest to hit given that is inset from the outer edge (also will help with dirt/dust protection). Outside of that, the case has been great! Already handled a few drops like a champ. Hoping for a V2 pro case with a concealed action/camera button.

After using the Pitaka iPhone case for more than a week now, I can confidently say it’s one of the best cases I’ve ever owned. Crafted from 600D aramid fiber, it feels incredibly luxurious and smooth to the touch. Despite its lightweight design, it offers robust protection, wrapping securely around my iPhone 16 pro max and shielding it from daily wear and tear, including accidental drops. One of my favorite things about this case is how sleek and slim it is. Unlike many other cases that add unnecessary bulk, the Pitaka case maintains the iPhone’s original slim profile, making it easy to slide into a pocket or bag. The precision of the cutouts is also worth mentioning—every port and button is perfectly accessible, and the case fits like a glove. The aramid fiber material not only adds to its aesthetics but also improves grip, so the phone feels secure in my hand without being slippery. It has a subtle matte finish that resists fingerprints and smudges, keeping it looking clean and professional at all times. Another big plus is the MagSafe feature which allows for effortless charging and attachment without removing the case. The magnetic alignment is strong and reliable, so I never have to worry about my charger slipping or accessories not holding firmly. It’s perfect for anyone who values a premium, minimalist design while still wanting reliable phone protection. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their case—you won’t be disappointed!

I was excited when I found this case as I was looking for a full coverage case that was not too thick and had a clean look. This met all those goals. However there were several issues when I put it on my phone. First, the lip around the face of the phone does not rise much beyond the edge of the phone. That means that with a screen protector on, if you place your phone screen side down on a table, it’s resting on the screen, not the edge of the case. They really should raise the lip more to protect the face. Second, buttons on the side are rather prominent. They look great, but very easy to casually press accidentally. Finally, the surface was easily scratched. There may be a manufacturing defect here, but simply installing the cover on my phone, my finger nail was able to damage the surface as seen in the pics. This would never last very long in a pocket as contact with anything will ruin it. I initially loved the all black discreet look of it, but the quality and durability is not there. I will be returning it.

YET AGAIN the Pitaka Case made it!! Really love this. This iPhone 16 Pro Max case is the perfect mix of style and protection! So it is 600D aramid fiber and TPU, that makes it feels lightweight but still offers tough, military-grade defense against drops and bumps. Which makes it super reliable. The MagSafe compatibility is always a standard. I love the black/grey twill design. It just looks super classy while maintaining a slim profile. The fit is spot on, with easy access to all buttons and ports, including the new picture button. This is EASILY a winner out of all the cases out there.

I’ve been using this lightweight, minimalistic Pitaka case for a while now, and I’m really impressed. It feels super slim, almost like you’re not using a case at all—but still offers great protection. Pitaka has really improved this case year over year, and this year’s version is the best one yet. Here are some key features and improvements: - Aramid fiber now covers almost the entire sides of the case. - Only 34 grams in weight - Soft lining interior for iPhones back side - Lower center section of raised edge is has a slight dip for easier swipe actions. - All quality buttons that don’t rattle. The aramid fiber finish looks sleek and stays relatively fingerprint-free and the raised edges keep the screen and camera safe from drops. If you want something that keeps your iPhone looking sleek while staying protected, this case is a perfect choice.

Amazing quality and fit, highly recommended
