The iPhone 16 Plus is a beautiful device, and protecting it is paramount. Apple’s own Silicone Case with MagSafe in Plum offers a stylish and functional solution. This review details my experiences with the MYYD3ZM/A model over several weeks of daily use.

The Plum Silicone Case immediately impresses with its soft, silky feel. The 55% recycled silicone material is not only environmentally conscious but also contributes to its pleasant texture. The microfiber lining adds an extra layer of protection for the iPhone’s back. MagSafe compatibility is a key feature, allowing for seamless attachment of MagSafe accessories and faster wireless charging. I particularly appreciated the smooth integration with MagSafe chargers; there’s no fiddling around to get a proper connection.

The camera cut-out is precise, and the case doesn’t interfere with camera functionality. The sapphire crystal and conductive layer for camera control work flawlessly. In my testing, I didn’t experience any lag or issues while using the camera features.

In terms of drop protection, the case performed admirably. While I didn’t intentionally drop my phone, I did experience a couple of accidental slips from a desk and low table, and the case absorbed the impact with no damage to the phone. The raised edges offer decent screen and camera protection. The MagSafe functionality worked perfectly, easily attaching and detaching my MagSafe charger and wallet.

Wireless charging speeds were noticeably faster with the MagSafe enabled case compared to using my phone naked. It didn’t significantly add bulk to the phone, making it comfortable to hold and use one-handed.

Pros:

• Soft, comfortable, silky texture
• Excellent MagSafe compatibility
• Good drop protection
• Faster wireless charging
• Environmentally friendly materials
• Precise cutouts

Cons:

• Can be slightly slippery, especially with oily fingers.
• The color might not suit everyone’s taste (though, I love the Plum!)
• Slightly pricey compared to some third-party options.

The iPhone 16 Plus Silicone Case with MagSafe in Plum (MYYD3ZM/A) is a premium case that delivers on its promises. The combination of style, functionality, and protection makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone wanting to keep their iPhone 16 Plus safe and looking great. While it’s not the cheapest option, the quality, MagSafe integration, and the enhanced wireless charging make it worth the extra cost in my opinion. I highly recommend it.
