Next out of the gate with a new batch of cases for Apple’s iPhone 16e is UAG – one of our favorite protective case makers. Ready to bring its special brand of almost military-style protective vibes to Apple’s latest handset, all but one of the brand’s new cases brings back the magnetic action to 16e, and everything is now available on the official site starting from $40. Get a closer look down below.
UAG iPhone 16e cases – protective, magnetic, and more
As we have detailed previously in both our launch coverage of the brand’s many smartphone case collections and our hands-on review of our favorite iPhone 16 model, UAG delivers a unique approach to iPhone coverage. There are other ultra-protective models out there, but in a sea of smartphone covers that by in large all look sort of the same at a glance, UAG stands out from the pack with a sharp angular design that threads the line between futuristic and rugged military – this is once again the case with its iPhone 16e models.
The brand informs us that all but one of the new models in the lineup include built-in magnetic action to ensure you can make use of your favorite MagSafe accessories, from wallets and mounts to charges, grips, and so on. To be more specific, all of the UAG cases do feature magnets, but you can buy the Pylo model in a “non-magnetic” form if you so choose – it’s a little bit less pricey and delivers a completely clean look.
The new protective UAG magnetic iPhone 16e cases range in price from $39 to $79 and include everything from its more simplistic Pylo and Essential Armor models right through to its staple Pathfinder and Monarch variants.
