Title: Retro look in a tight fitting case
Review: The 16e doesn’t come magsafe compatible. You need to add a case to allow it to work with anything other than a wireless charging pad. This case allows magsafe accessories to work with it. The magnetic pull of my wallet, and bedside charger is great. It works as well as my 15 pro max. The phone stays on the charger with no fear of it falling down and stopping the charging process during the night.The case is a very snug fit. I tried taking off the metal back casing first and fitting the silicone insert, but wasn’t able to get the aluminum case back on. It took some persuasion, but the phone fit in the case without bending or breaking the metal or continually pressing buttons.The case provides more of a lip above the screen than other cases I’ve used. It’s not in the way, but it is noticeable. The buttons work as well as any other silicone insert allow. You lose some of the tactile feedback, but they’re small buttons anyway. The camera lens sits below the edge of the case so when dropping on a flat surface, I don’t have to worry about my lens getting cracked. I’d trust my 5 year old to walk around the house with my phone in this case.At $20 this is a stylish case with throwback look and provides all the protection I want in a phone case. The aluminum will dent if dropped, but the silicone keeps the phone safe.

Title: Case has no real grip to it
Review: Didn’t love this case, primarily because it is too smooth / slippery.Slips out of my hands, slips off my lap.

Title: Modern classic (or classic modern) case that’s simple to install!
Review: Classic look with hidden gem references! The “ elago Magnetic Original 2G Case Compatible with iPhone 16e Case 2025, Precise Camera Cutouts, Strong Magnetism, Full Body Protective Cover, Shockproof, (Silver/Black)” has a “headphone jack”, “sim card tray”, and “8GB” of memory on the back design. The two toned case is nice. It fits the phone snuggly, but there’s a thing to it. Its not supposed to be split apart then put onto your phone. Just slide the two pieces combined onto your phone, rather than trying to put the rubber case then plastic shell.Quality and Overall: Another absolutely beautiful and amazing case with a retro (?) through back to one of the first iPhones back in 2005s time. It offers great protection and a lip on the front glass area. It also has a nice feel to it and wont slip from your hands. I like the magsafe embedded inside, and you cant even see it or tell. It makes a statement of old school cool designs, and really enjoy having a modern update.

Title: Fit and installation of the case is challenging
Review: This case looks great, but I found attaching it to my iPhone 16e was difficult to apply, particularly the outer hard casing. The interior casing is pliable, and went on without any difficulty. The outer cover is rigid, and attempting to get this cover on over the inner cover was nothing short of impossible as the outer case kept pressing on the side buttons as I was trying to get it in place over the inner cover . . . and on two occasions, it triggered an emergency SOS call. I tried to inser the phone with both the inner and outer casing already in place, more SOS notices. I gave up on putting the outer case on after that and currently using just the inner, pliable case until I can find a better alternative.

Title: A really fun retro case
Review: I have a soft spot for the original iPhone when it came out in 2007. Back then, the iPhone was an instant conversation piece, so when I saw this retro case for iPhone 16e, I had to grab it.The case is fairly well done; it largely resembles the color combo of the original iPhone and even has the mock up of the original markings of the 8GB iPhone on the back. They even have a mock up of the original SIM card slot on the top.The case looks good and provides adequate protection all around and even the buttons are covered and look like the originals. If there’s any downside to the case, it’s that the silver paint is very slippery and if you’re not careful , it’ll slide right out of your hand. Besides that, it’s a really neat case for those of us sentimental types.
