If you want a truly minimalists case, Latercase‘s latest collection designed for the iPhone 16 series is for you.
The company says the cases are “impossibly thin.” Of course, they’re not (that’s impossible!), but they are about as thin as an iPhone case can get and still offer solid protection.
The aerospace-grade cases — measuring just 0.6mm in thickness — can keep your smartphone relatively safe while allowing your iPhone’s sleek case and handsome design to show in all its glory.
The Latercases are made from aramid fiber. Aramid fibers are known for their high tensile strength, low weight, and flame-resistant properties. They are also resistant to chemicals, with the exception of a few strong acids and alkalis. Aramid fibers have excellent stability over a wide range of temperatures.
What’s more, the Latercases have a textured matte finish that offer good “grippability” to reduce the likelihood of you’re accidentally dropping your pricey smartphone.
The cases are fully compatible with MagSafe and other wireless charging technologies, so you can charge your iPhone without having to remove the case. The folks at Latercase say that the cases are “meticulously laser-cut to ensure an exact fit.” I tried the cases on an iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 and found this to be true.
Pricing and Selection
The Latercase for the iPhone 16 series is available in five colorways: Classic, Coffee, Crimson, Midnight, and Willy Blue. Each case is priced at US$59. The cases are also now available on Amazon.
Latencase also offers screen protectors ($29 to $25) and US$15 MagLock Rings,
