A rugged, waterproof case that balances durability with everyday usability.
buy from amazonI’m the type of iPhone user that always uses a case. I usually try to use something protective, but not bulky. Defender-style cases have come a long way since their early days and they are much slimmer than they used to be. So, even though I don’t usually use a full coverage case, I really liked the design of the Frē Series Case from OtterBox. It’s MagSafe compatible and works really well with the iPhone 16 series smartphones.

User Experience
OtterBox has a great reputation for keeping phones safe with their cases. I’ve used them in the past and been very happy with them. The case comes with installation instructions and a cleaning cloth. The case is in two pieces — a cover and the back. In order to install the phone, you place it into the back and then snap the cover down onto the back. You want to make sure there is a good seal so that the waterproof nature of the case is preserved.
Even though the iPhone 16 Pro is water resistant (IP68) and can withstand submersion (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes), the Frē case enhacnes the water protection by providing a fully sealed waterproof barrier. It is rated for submersion in up to 2 meters of water for 1 hour, offering more comprehensive and prolonged protection than the iPhone’s built-in resistance. Additionally, the case safeguards against dirt, dust, and snow, which the iPhone’s IP68 rating does not guarantee. So if you are an adventurer, it’s completely worth using this case for additional protection.
I didn’t think it was particularly difficult to install the phone, but I have been concerned about the fingerprints and smudges effecting the camera lenses. I noticed that I had some marks on the lens cover so I took some photos to see how pictures might turn out. I was happy to find that the marks didn’t seem to effect them much at all.
As far as the MagSafe compatibility goes, I have been very impressed to see the case work with my MagSafe PopSocket as well as my MagSafe charger. It’s not quite as strong as other MagSafe cases I’ve used, but it’s strong enough to work with other accessories. The only real downside to this case is the dirt and fingerprints it collects on the screen and lens cover. The case gets very dirty, very quickly. It’s easy to clean, but still a little annoying that it has to be cleaned so frequently. The touch screen is still very responsive even though its covered with the screen protector.
Conclusion
The OtterBox Frē Series Case for MagSafe is an excellent choice for those who need rugged, full-coverage protectionwithout excessive bulk. It offers waterproofing, drop protection, and MagSafe compatibility, making it ideal for adventurers and everyday users alike. While it does an outstanding job at shielding the iPhone 16 Pro from the elements, it does require frequent cleaning due to fingerprints and dust accumulation. Overall, it’s a solid investment for users prioritizing durability and environmental sustainability in a protective case.
