Slim Case for iPhone 16 Pro Max (XP0111): MagSafe Compatible Review

I’ve been using the XP0111 slim case for my iPhone 16 Pro Max for the past few weeks, and I’m ready to share my thoughts. The marketing promises a minimalist design, incredible lightness, and surprisingly robust protection – claims I put to the test.

This case lives up to its “minimalist” description. The ultra-thin borderless design is sleek and barely adds any bulk to the phone. The translucent bottom plate is a nice touch, allowing the phone’s design to peek through. The incorporation of MagSafe is seamless; the alignment with my MagSafe charger and wallet has been flawless.

The claim of being incredibly light is also true. It’s remarkably feather-light, almost unnoticeable when holding the phone. The TPU corners feel reassuringly protective without adding excessive weight or bulk.

Colour Name Black
Model Number XP0111

Daily use has been a positive experience. The case fits perfectly, allowing easy access to all ports and buttons. The MagSafe functionality works perfectly with my charger, providing fast and consistent wireless charging. I’ve dropped my phone a couple of times (minor drops, thankfully!), and the case has protected it from scratches and minor impacts. The TPU corners seem to absorb the shock effectively.

While the marketing materials highlight the case’s suitability for MagSafe wallets, I found that the slightly raised lip around the camera doesn’t hinder wireless charging with a wallet attached, though it is a very tight fit. There was never any instance of overheating during charging.

The “anti-yellow” claim remains to be seen over the long term; the case is currently clear and shows no signs of yellowing, but only time will tell how it fares in the long run. Overall, the performance has exceeded my initial expectations.

Pros:

  • Incredibly slim and lightweight
  • Seamless MagSafe integration
  • Effective protection against minor drops and scratches
  • Excellent fit and finish
  • Fast wireless charging

Cons:

  • May not provide sufficient protection against major drops or impacts
  • Long-term durability and anti-yellowing properties need further testing
  • Minimal grip, potentially leading to more drops for those with oily fingers.

Overall, the XP0111 slim case for the iPhone 16 Pro Max is a fantastic option for users who prioritize a minimalist design and MagSafe compatibility. Its lightness and protective capabilities make it an ideal daily driver. While not suitable for those seeking heavy-duty protection, it delivers on its promises of sleek aesthetics, efficient wireless charging, and enough protection for everyday use. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a low-profile, yet functional case.
