elago Magnetic Leather Case Compatible with iPhone 16 Pro Max Case, Compatible with All MagSafe Accessories, 6.9 inch - Built-in Magnets, Vegan Leather, Shockproof, Water-Resistant [Taupe]

I love the material and it lasts a long time

Since Apple no longer offers an official leather case I have been searching for some suitable alternatives and found this case. Obviously it is an artificial leather but for the price the quality is pretty good. Here are my pros and cons:The Good1. The fit and finish is excellent. Buttons are high quality and easy to press, cutouts are all precise and the raised lip for the cameras seems to be lifted from a genuine Apple case.2. The magnets in the case are strong and can easily support the phone on a wireless charger and most likely would work well for a car mount.3. Case is very snug once you put it on, no issues with corners lifting and the lining inside is nice and plush so won't have to worry about scratches.The Not So Good1. With a glass screen protector on the front lip of the case don't seem to be raised enough and your screen comes into contact with the surface when it's face down which isn't great. (Hard to get a photo to show this)2. The cutout for the camera control makes using it difficult, it's a bit too recessed to be used as intended so just sort of takes away some functionality.3. This could change with time but this thing is slippery, I prefer a leather or "leather" case because they tend to have better grip but this case has a definite smoothness and sheen that always reminds you it's not genuine leather.Overall for the price, I would say my experience is a positive one and would recommend it. Just waiting patiently for the day when the camera control cutout is a thing of the past.

This is a really nice case I miss the Apple leather case and hate the fact they stopped making them but this is a a great alternative and it’s design is very close with all the cutouts perfectly made and feels very high quality fit is outstanding and provides great protection against drops and scratches, the inner layer is made of soft material. Installation is easy and functional with all buttons and cutouts and do not add additional bulk to the look.Lets hope to get a long lasting look, corners edges are a little bit fragile and I already requested a replacement for the first one that were looking bad after a week or two of normal use but Amazon is great for this easy to replace experience.

I received my item with a defect. I don’t understand why does the seller treat his customers like this by sending damaged goods, after all, customers pay for quality goods and not for defects.

The 15 pro max version of this case was far better, in fact one of the best cases i had ever used. This one for the 16 pro max just doesn’t feel the same- buttons are too stiff and they changed the shape of this outline that ran on the back of the 15 pro max version of this case which in my opinion looked better! Returning this one.

My previous iPhone (13 pro max) case was also leather and dark green. It was great but was easy to blend in with dark furniture. When I updated to the iPhone 16 I wanted a lighter cover. The pink looks "pinker" on screen than in person. In reality it's more of a matte baby pink and it's perfect. Great leather quality, fits snug and supports the magnet.

Case feels like plastic. Magnet is really bad too.

This case is fantastic! The look and feel is just like the Apple leather cases of a few years ago but at a substantial price difference. It fits my phone perfectly and works great with my MagSafe charger, car adapter, and 3-in-1 charging stand. The cutouts are precise and the buttons work flawlessly.
