TineeOwl for iPhone 16 Pro Max Magnetic Case, Camera Control Button, Compatible with MagSafe, TPU, Minimalist, Slim/Thin, Grippy - Dune Series (Dusty Lilac, iPhone 16 Pro Max)

I’ve been really impressed with this phone case. The texture feels premium — kind of like a smooth stone — giving it a nice grip without feeling rough. I also really like the hard shell of the cover; it feels solid and adds an extra layer of confidence when carrying my phone around. The magnets are strong and hold perfectly with my MagSafe accessories, and the buttons are surprisingly responsive (including the camera control button, which actually works pretty well). The packaging was also a nice surprise — the box is cute and well designed, which made the whole unboxing experience feel even better. The case has already survived a few accidental drops from chest height with no damage, so the durability is definitely there. It has a clean, minimalist look and feels good in the hand. Overall, great value and great protection.

Love this case!!!! It’s way better than the expensive brand that I loved & bought for years. I really like how they made the top button round, makes it so much easier to avoid that button. I also appreciate how much slimmer a fit it is, cuts down on bulk, but it still feels substantial & safe. Texture is great too, feels grippy, but not gummy. It’s a great case!

Update: received replacement case from Amazon. Brand new with a seal on it, and has a proper UPC product code without another UPC code label over it. Love the case, upgrading to 5 stars. I love the texture on the case, yet it slides in and out of my pants pocket with ease, as well feels super smooth in the hand yet it has a good grip. Almost magical. I had previously purchased a genuine leather case at more than 2x the price and it pulls my pocket inside out. The camera control works fine, which looks different on the new replacement case compared to the used/returned one Amazon sent me originally. I've added photos comparing the new one to the used one. The photo showing the interior of the camera control, the new case is the one on the bottom. I'm going with the goof being on Amazon and not the seller. Equally important, all buttons remain very tactile, and the round action button to differentiate from the volume up/down buttons is a nice touch. Lastly, I usually like a minimalist case with no branding. On this case, I actually like the subtle little owl logo on the bottom. This is my go to case in the future when I upgrade my phone. Initial review: I don't know if this is the fault of Amazon or the seller, but I received an obviously used case. Perhaps it was a returned item, I don't know. The box seal was already peeled off. There are smudges on the case, and there's a scratch on the corner of the camera bump. I will say I like the feel of the case very much. It has a nice texture to it giving it a good grip, yet it is very smooth to touch and does not pull my pocket inside out which is my #1 concern when buying a phone case. I've requested through Amazon an exchange and will update if this issue is resolved.

Got this case for less than $20. The texture is nice - soft and grippy with a matte texture. There is some additional texture on the lower half of the outer edge that creates a solid grip zone. Installation is easy and the phone fits snugly without feeling too bulky or rigid. The microfiber lining uses good adhesive that appears to stand up to excess heat from the phone. The cutouts are precise (screen protector friendly) and the buttons perform nicely. The camera button works as intended and the concave Action Button is a nice touch. The magnet is strong enough for a firm grip on wallets, pop sockets, chargers and battery packs. Overall, a very well-designed case with great build quality.

I’ve tried my fair share of cases, and I have to say this one surprised me. It’s genuinely comfortable to hold with one hand—pinky perched underneath and all. It doesn’t dig into my fingers or feel awkward during my morning doomscrolling sessions. The grip is solid without being too sticky. It’s grippy enough that you won’t feel like you’re about to send your phone flying, but it doesn’t make pocketing or pulling out the phone a chore. Weight-wise, for the iPhone 16 Pro, it’s about 42 grams. Light enough not to weigh you down, but hefty enough to provide some real protection. A nice balance overall. The price is fairly reasonable for what you’re getting—not a steal, but not outrageous either. For a case that’s this comfortable, I’d say it’s worth the cost. As for MagSafe, it’s decent. I wouldn’t call it spectacular, but it does the job. The connection feels secure enough for charging and snapping on accessories, which is all I really need. And the protection? It’s solid. There’s plenty of lip on the side rails, even if you’ve got a glass screen protector on. No worries about setting the phone down face-first—you’ll have some peace of mind there. Even better, Amazon Basics and Anker cables fit the USB-C charging port with ease. No need to worry about forcing a connection or fiddling around. Plugging in is as straightforward as it should be. Now, for the quirks. The camera control button is… well, a bit inconsistent. Scrolling down works perfectly every time—no complaints there. But scrolling up? That’s another story. It often misses the mark, leaving you frantically flicking at the button like you’re swiping a stubborn app card away. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s definitely noticeable. All in all, it’s a comfy, well-rounded case with a couple of quirks. Despite the scroll-up struggle, it’s one I’ll probably keep around a while—if only for the pinky-friendly comfort!

I’ve been searching high and low for a plain black case with a good grippy texture and coverage for the stupid camera button, while also including MagSafe functionality. Finally, I think this case fits the bill perfectly. The case has good, strong magnets that are well placed. The protection for the camera bump is effective and unobtrusive. I like that they made the button on the case for the iPhone multifunction button a round shape so it can be easily differentiated from the others. I’m quickly able to silence my phone without removing it from my pocket just by quickly feeling for the round button. I don’t often use the new camera button but I’ve tested it with this case and it is fully functional. Soft press, sliding and hard press all work as they should. I did have a very minor issue with the camera button after installing the case. The camera button had to be reseated to be flush against the iPhone camera button and has since not caused any issues. Biggest gripe is the buttons on the case are connected by only the smallest amount of material on opposing sides of each button. I haven’t encountered any durability issues with this design as of yet, and I assume the buttons were designed this way in an effort to prevent them being too stiff due to the rigidity of the case material. The space around the buttons are open by about the thickness of a fingernail and it does allow dust and dirt to accumulate within the case. I would have much preferred the buttons to be fully enclosed, even if that had caused them to be harder to press. All in all, I’m happy with this case. The best part about it is that I don’t even think about it. It has no rough seams, doesn’t adversely affect any functionality, and the grip the case provides is sublime. The price was definitely at the right spot. It has saved my phone a few times already and hasn’t picked up any abrasions or scars that I can see. Perfection.

I probably have owned 7 cases for the iPhone 16 Pro Max and by far this is my favorite. I have owned cases from Spigen, Anker, Torras, Ringke, Caseology, Caudabe, Pitaka, etc. TineeOwl’s case reminds me a lot of the Caudabe Sheath but it feels slimmer and it’s less than half the price. What the case does right 1. The texture is really nice and grippy. Many cases only have texture on the side and not the back. I love the stone finish. 2. It’s minimalist. Super basic and small logo on the bottom. No big wording on it 3. MagSafe is pretty strong. No complaints about it. Only use it for charging though and no accessories so I can’t speak for day to day use of MagSafe attachments 4. The roundness of it is pleasant to hold 5. The case isn’t too thin or thick. The lip around the screen is generous but it could probably use another millimeter of thickness on the camera lens but it may compromise the most overall thickness. 6. The round action button is a game changer. I constantly adjust the volume on my phone while it’s in my pocket. It’s so much easier now to identify which is the action button and which one is the volume. Overall this is a fantastic case and I will definitely pick another up when I get my next iPhone whenever that will be. Please make this for just the regular iPhone 17! I was going to purchase my mom one but I’m surprised you don’t have that model.

It’s a decent case. Seems solid enough to provide sufficient protection. The grippy texture is decent—doesn’t get stuck on everything but feels nice to hold. I’ve only had it for a few weeks, but it still feels as new. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some wear and tear eventually, but right now it feels great. Easy to install and functions as intended. There are no bells and whistles (no kickstands etc). The price is fitting for what it is. No bells and whisles, just a good, solid case. Unfortunately the finish is prone to dirt and discoloration. The image attached is the case after the few weeks of owning it. It’s not incredibly obvious but you can see where my fingers from my right hand rest when I use the phone. This was also AFTER I tried cleaning it with water and isopropyl.
