With unlimited MagSafe compatibility and ultimate protection in mind, ESR’s Stash Stand cases will take your iPhone 16 to the next level

Now that you’ve ordered your brand-new iPhone 16, your next thought is likely, “How do I keep it safe and protected?” After all, if you’ve just spent more than a thousand dollars on a new phone, making sure it stays in great condition for a long time and goes the distance is a top priority. As one of the leading iPhone accessory brands, it’s no surprise that ESR has a roundup of fantastic cases for the latest iPhones. Not only will these keep your new phone protected, but they also enhance productivity.

Whether you’re using one of ESR’s many MagSafe accessories or simply propping the phone up to watch a video courtesy of the innovative Stash Stand, the latest range of ESR cases for the iPhone 16 series has it all. Here’s what you need to know.

ESR Classic Hybrid Case with Stash Stand: Familiar look, solid protection

ESR’s Classic Hybrid Case combines an acrylic-polycarbonate back and a soft TPU frame for complete all-around protection without packing on the thickness and bulk. The back of the case is only 1.6mm thick, and there’s a 1.2mm raised lip around the screen and a 0.7mm raised camera guard. Put it all together with Air Guard cushioned corners, and you get a case that can survive drops from an impressive 11 feet.

Speaking of the camera guard, there’s so much more to it than you’d realize at first glance because it’s also the Stash Stand. This innovative idea ensures that the stand doesn’t interfere with MagSafe chargers, wallets, power banks, and other accessories. As you might have guessed, you’d have to choose between the two with other cases. The sturdy Stash Stand lets you prop up the phone at any angle between 15 and 85 degrees, allowing you to enjoy watching videos, playing games, being on video calls, or simply browsing the web with ease.

The final stand-out feature of this case is the strong 1,500-g magnetic lock for MagSafe accessories, more than twice the strength of Apple’s own cases, to ensure that no accessory accidentally disconnects. The Classic Hybrid case is also thin enough to ensure optimum MagSafe performance — ESR’s own testing showed that an iPhone 15 Pro Max charged at least 30 minutes faster than similar cases from competitors.

If you’re looking for the perfect balance between protection, design, and productivity features, the ESR Classic Hybrid case with Stash Stand is the one for you. The case is available in 6 colors and is priced at $23.99. However, for a limited time, Android Authority readers can enjoy an 10% discount with promo code: ESR202416 (valid on Amazon from September 9th – October 9th).

ESR Cloud Soft case with Stash Stand: Comfortable to hold, colorful design

It’s all in the name of this one. The case’s premium silicone liquid provides an ultra-soft, cloud-like feel when holding the phone. A pre-applied anti-static spray prevents the accumulation of dust to ensure a pristine, easy-to-clean case.

It wouldn’t be an ESR case if it wasn’t also protective. Despite being only 2.1mm thick on the back, the Cloud Soft case has a 5-layer design that, like its hybrid sibling, offers up to 11 feet of drop protection, which is 3x the military-grade standard. The soft-touch elements continue within the case itself, with a microfiber interior ensuring a scratch-free iPhone when attaching or removing the case.

The ultra-thin design ensures it won’t interfere with MagSafe accessories. In fact, not only will you enjoy faster charging than with competitors, but the 1,400-g magnetic lock ensures that wallets, power banks, chargers, and other accessories stay firmly in place. Like every case in the ESR’s iPhone 16 lineup, the Cloud Soft case also comes with the innovative Stash Stand, so you can prop the phone up on a desk or table at almost any acute angle.

The excellent feel and protective capabilities aren’t its only selling points. The Cloud Soft case is also the one to get if you’re looking to add a splash of color to your new iPhone. Available in 5 colors, you can make your phone stand out amongst a crowd of generic, black cases.

The Cloud Soft case is priced at $24.99, but for a limited time, Android Authority readers can enjoy a 10% discount with code: ESR202416 (valid on Amazon from September 9th – October 9th).

ESR Cyber Tough Case with Stash Stand: Ultimate drop protection, sleek design

If you’re looking for complete protection for your new iPhone 16, you’ll love the Cyber Tough Case. The case offers 3-layer protection with the combination of a robust polycarbonate back, a soft TPU shell, and an inner PORON® lining to provide an incredible drop-protection capability of up to 23 feet! That’s an astounding 7x the military-grade standard you’d find with some competitor cases.

Even with all that protection, the Cyber Tough case is thin enough to comfortably use MagSafe accessories without issue. A 1,500-g magnetic lock helps keep everything in place. And, of course, it also comes with the excellent Stash Stand so you can enjoy your favorite videos without holding the phone up for hours. Unlike other rugged, protective cases, ESR doesn’t shy away from offering a variety of color options either. With eight available colors, protective doesn’t have to mean without style.

The Cyber Tough case is priced at $25.99 and a limited-time discount of 10% by using the code: ESR202416, makes the deal even sweeter (valid on Amazon from September 9th – October 9th).

Armorite Screen Protector: ESR doesn’t ignore the display

To ensure complete protection, ESR also released the Armorite Screen Protector for the iPhone 16 series. The tempered glass screen protector has a 9H scratch-protection rating that’s further enhanced with an industry-leading triple-strengthening process. Knowing that the Armorite screen protector can withstand a whopping 110lb of pressure will certainly give you peace of mind.

Don’t worry if you’re concerned about a complicated installation process. With ESR’s new UltraFit Tray, it takes two simple steps to install the Armorite screen protector — place your iPhone in the tray, close it, and then pull the tray’s tab. The tray’s improvements include automatic dust removal and electrostatic adsorption to ensure seamless application without bubbles or blemishes.

The Armorite screen protector is priced at $16.99.
