OtterBox Lumen is a lightweight stylish case for your iPhone 16 Pro Max
When hunting for the optimal iPhone case, I often find several enjoyable perks/features but note a few aspects limit utility or functionality. I want a lightweight, protective case with raised screen/camera bezels, well-spaced functional buttons, a grippy, non-fingerprint adhesive surface, an easy-to-access USB-C port, and wireless charging/MagSafe features. I have recently reviewed several OtterBox cases and found many of these features were incorporated into the Symmetry, Symmetry Cactus, and Figura cases. Despite the quality and design of each case, unfortunately, each of the cases failed to adequately utilize the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s new camera control button. I was excited when I reviewed the OtterBox Lumen features and the camera button design. Finally, I found a sexy, sleek, protective case that protected the screen and devoted much-needed love and attention to the camera button.
The OtterBox Lumen with MagSafe iPhone 16 Pro Max case arrived in a clean white retail package. The cover panel showed the yellow company name/logo along the top left, a light grey Lumen Series with MagSafe product name to the right, and a 1 3/4 inches wide by 4 1/4 inches tall cutout along the lower left edge. The window provided a direct view of the clear case, the emerald MagSafe ring accent, and allowed for physical contact with the silky, smooth surface. The left side panel provided some recycling logos, while the top and right panels remained unadorned. The bottom panel provided trademark and contact information plus a few manufacturer logos. The rear panel provided five product feature icons detailing the 3x Drop protection, designed for iPhone protected by OtterBox, raised edges protect camera and screen, scratch resistant, and at least 75% recycled materials. The lower section of the panel provided a multilingual description of the icons.
I lifted the top flap, slid the inner tray out of the outer packaging, and removed the 1.3-ounce, 3 1/4 inches wide by 6 1/2 inches tall by 7/16 inches thick iPhone case from the inner tray. I loved the clear back panel, the 2 3/16 inches diameter MagSafe Ring (1/4 inches thick), 11/32 inches wide by 7/8 inches tall magnetic accent, and the darker emerald side/camera accents. The rear panel had a 1 1/2 inches square by 1/8 inches tall camera cutout along the top left of the panel. The right side panel provided a 5/16 inches long by 1/8 inches tall side button, dual 1/2 inches long by 1/8 inches tall volume buttons, and an etched OTTERBOX name. The left side panel provided an 11/16 inches long by 1/8 inches tall power button and a lower 11/16 inches long by 1/8 inches tall camera control button. The bottom panel provided a centrally located 1/2 inches wide by 1/4 inches tall, oval-shaped USB-C access port and flanking speaker cutouts: 3/8 inches long by 1/8 inches tall and 9/16 inches tall by 1/8 inches tall. Lastly, the front screen had a raised 1/8 inches tall raised, protective barrier.
I cleaned the inner surface of the case and the back panel of my phone with WOOSH and a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and lint. I then slid the right side of my iPhone 16 Pro Max (volume buttons side) into the Lumen case and then pressed the top, left, and bottom panels into the case. At first impression, I was worried that I would not like the clear panel or the smooth feel, but I was wrong on both counts. The case’s clear backing allowed the iPhone’s black color to shine through, adding an appealing, shimmery-emerald accent color. The case’s rounded corners, thickened side panels, and darker green hue added depth to the iPhone’s color pattern and the overall appearance of the case. Once installed, I found the back and side panels had a more rubbery, grippy, silicone-like feel than a slick, smooth plastic feel. I liked the weight, the dimensions, and the overall feel in my hand. The grippy material allowed for a comfortable hand position while holding the phone up to my ear. The thin minimalist case fit nicely into my Yonzee Silicone phone mount, and the grippy material prevented sliding when placed onto my Tesla Y center console. Lastly, the rear MagSafe ring affixed strongly to my car and desk MagSafe mounts.
Beyond the touch/feel of the case, I was pleased with the placement and responsiveness of the volume, action, and power side buttons. The rubberized buttons allowed for easy access to the phone’s button features and had a refreshing click-feel. I loved that a similar design feature was employed for the camera control button, instead of using a cutout like the aforementioned OtterBox cases. The included camera control button was my favorite aspect of the Lumen case, allowing easy, reliable access to the button, while protecting the screen. The button design also improved one one-hand camera operation.
For those who may want another color besides the Mallard green option, you can consider picking up a grackle black, macaw blue, rosefinch pink, or year of the snake. My only criticism was that the ~$70 price tag felt a bit high. I would have felt the price to be a bit more reasonable at ~$50.
