iPhone 16 Pro Max Rugged Case - Desert - iPhone 16 Pro Max Case with Magsafe Charging, Phone Case Rugged Tactical

Been using Otterbox defenders since iPhone 4 but their 16 Pro case has a ridiculously oversized cutout that i hated and felt and looked awful. I returned it and figured id try nomad since i own multiple Apple Watch bands from them and they are fantastic. This case did not disappoint, it looks and feels great and i love the aluminum buttons. It feels like the name states, rugged. My only minor complaints are that i would like a little more grip and texturing as it is slightly slick in hand (not horrible though) and stronger magsafe magnet. Ive had the case a week and its already randomly fallen off my magsafe car vent mount three times in the last 4 days. Other than that the case is amazing and i definitely recommend it and all Nomad products.

At first I was very hesitant buying this case I thought my phone would be to bulky in my pockets but I was very wrong this case is very nice has an extremely nice feel to it has a very nice color which is the dessert titanium one. I absolutely love the color the case is overall very protective, feels and looks very protective as well and is easy to remove from your phone which is good because some phone cases are really hard to remove but this phone case has it all and is very slim too but really really protective should have bought this phone case a long time ago. Really recommend this case to anyone it really looks nice on my phone.

Perfect fit, clicky buttons, peripheral bezel 2.5mm from display. EXCEPTIONAL, HIGH QUALITY CASE!

Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed with this case. The protection is much less substantial than the $60 price tag would imply. With a glass screen protector installed (increasingly common these days), the raised front lip is reduced to less than 1mm of protective clearance, should you drop your phone face-down. For a case that's advertised as "rugged" this feels really insufficient. Even without a glass screen protector, many other cases at this price range offer a higher level of protection in this area. A major drawback with this case is the lack of rubberized finish on the exterior. The sides and back are very slick, which means that there is a real risk of dropping your phone if you pick it up with sweaty or greasy hands – particularly if you have small hands or a larger Pro Max phone. Lastly, I was attracted to the raised corner bumpers that allow the phone to lay flat when resting on its backside. However, after some use I felt that this design made the case feel extremely bulky, as though the entire case was as thick as the corners. It really began to make my phone feel like a brick. As for the short list of positives with this case, I do appreciate the clean aesthetic with almost zero branding, as well as the added texture on the action and power buttons.

Selected this case for my iPhone 16 Pro, I’m happy with my decision. Pros: sturdy, buttons very responsive and feel good, has microfiber lining on inside, has protection above the camera button unlike other cases on the market, camera button still very accessible. One thing that I specifically liked about this case is that it lays level and flat, other cases lay unlevel and rock when laid flat because of protection ring around camera lenses. This case though has leveling feet at each corner, making it very stable. Case allows for clearance of my screen protector. Cons: I wish the phone had more grip, that’s the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I’m used to the grip of an otterbox defender case. Also the textured power button is a bit annoying sometimes when I’m holding the phone, would prefer a smooth button like the volume buttons, but that’s a little thing. Overall I like it and plan to continue using until Otterbox fixes their terrible design of having a huge chunk of their case missing around the camera button.

My experience with iPhone cases has generally been cases that feel and look nice are not protective, while protective cases feel horrible to use and look ugly. Nomad managed to build a protective case that still looks stylish. This case does add a bit more bulk than most cases, but most of that bulk is around the bumpers. However, the bumpers have a groove in them that just feels really nice in the hand. The buttons are metal, which I think gives the case such a nice, premium feel. The screen edges are raised slightly to offer some protection, and there are lanyard attachment points at the bottom of the case near the speakers. While I am not a fan of the cutout for accessing the camera control button, this one is not horrible. It still has protection around the screen (which is something I am really picky about) and has a tapered groove that makes accessing the control button pretty easy. Overall, this is a great case for someone who needs a bit more protection than average, but still wants a case that feels premium.

I am a died hard otter box fan but I hate the cut out for the camera control on the IPhone 16 Pro’s. It leaves the phone exposed to cracks and damage. After trying 8 different cases I finally found the case that brings me the protection of Otterbox but with style! It’s rugged but slim and slides easily in and out of your pocket with nice grippy sides. High quality protection and worth the peace of mind. 10/10 recommend!

Nice case with a slight raised lip. The metal buttons are nice and very tactile. Have been using for around 6 months and still in great shape.
