ZAGG Crystal Palace Snap with Kickstand Case for iPhone 16 Pro Max - MagSafe & Wireless Charging Compatible, Survives Drops Up to 13ft, Textured Grip, Eco-Friendly, Clear

Summary: Zagg Crystal Palace is the most pretty all-clear frame. It is slim but still has good protection. It's a little slippery.Looking for an all-clear case for your iPhone 15 Pro?I am!Here are the four all-clear non-magsafe cases I considered:B0CG6QW7J8 (Zagg Crystal Palace - this listing). The most beautiful case, but also the most expensive case in the group. Ideal for minimalists who still want decent protection and a beautiful case. It's very flexible and a tiny bit thicker than the Otterbox Prefix. Only disadvantage is its slipperiness.Overall: 9/10Clearness: 10/10 - beautiful caseSlimness: 9/10 - very slim and lightweight, but still covers the protruding lenses well enoughGrip/friction: 5/10 a bit slipperyProtection: 8/10 will absorb small drops (estimate only)*Customer Service: 9/10 I had a bad experience, but Zagg made it right. US-based support.B0CGCJHX6H (Otterbox Prefix) which is an all-clear case that is soft/flexible, reasonable "grippiness" but perhaps not quite as thick/tough as the Zagg Crystal Palace.This is the ultimate minimalist solution.Choose this if you desire more grippiness from the edges. The trade-off is the edges are matte finish and doesn't flash as much as the Zagg Crystal Palace.Overall: 7/10Clearness: 9/10 - a slight matte finish on sides, resists fingerprints, looks awesomeSlimness: 10/10Grip/friction: 7/10 a bit slippery but matte edges helpProtection: 6/10 will absorb small drops (estimate only)*Customer Service: 10/10 Otterbox has amazing customer service; replacements always ship fast and easy to call or chat with a Colorado-based customer service agent.X003X3AVS3 (Alcase) is almost identical to an Otterbox Defender Pro....but completely clear! I love it.It's three pieces, just like the Defender Pro. Sadly Otterbox is not making this or I would buy from them for the sake of the warranty and amazing support.This has the most grippiness and definitely the best protection of any all-clear case I tried.Also super affordable.But not nearly as pretty and slim as the Zagg Crystal Palace. This is bulky in comparison.Overall: 9/10Clearness: 6/10 - still very clear, but the rubbery outer layer provides some milkinessSlimness: 5/10 - this is bulky, just like Defender ProGrip/friction: 10/10 - excellent grippinessProtection: 10/10 will absorb big drops (estimate only)*Customer Service: 2/10 Alcase claims warranty and customer service, but my experience says otherwise. It's nothing like Otterbox.X003XGITE3 (Alcase Bounce case) has reinforced/thick edges which made for better protection and easier to hold, but also more room to carry in your pocket. It's a single clear plastic/rubber piece.Overall: 6/10Clearness: 8/10 - The black lip to protect the protruding lenses is ugly and also not as "tall" as I'd likeSlimness: 7/10 - the reinforced edges take up some room in pocketGrip/friction: 8/10 - reinforced edges provide excellent holding of phoneProtection: 8/10 will absorb medium drops (estimate only)*Customer Service: 2/10 Alcase claims warranty and customer service, but my experience says otherwise. It's nothing like Otterbox.*estimate, I did not subject phone or case to any drops

I recently purchased the Crystal Palace Snap with Kickstand for my iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I'm impressed!The case is ultra-clear, showing off the sleek design of my phone while providing excellent protection against drops and scratches. The built-in kickstand, a feature I had on my prior case for an iPhone 11 Pro Max, is made of thick metal and holds the phone at a great angle horizontally and vertically for watching videos or making video calls.The case is also MagSafe compatible, making it easy to attach to accessories, such as a power bank I also recently acquired and reviewed. Despite its protective features, it remains fairly lightweight and doesn't add much bulk to the phone. Overall, this case offers great value for its functionality and durability.If I were to wish for one improvement, it would be the inclusion of a screen protector to ensure a great fit with the case.

I’ve had this case for about a year and it’s the sturdiest case I’ve ever had. I felt scared getting such an expensive case but it has definitely been worth it. It’s saved my phones from many falls, including a whole flight of stairs and I haven’t had a single scratch or crack on my phone. I would 100% recommend this case.

The case is slim and doesn’t add much bulk to the phone, while still offering good protection. The transparency lets the phone’s design shine through, which is a nice touch.The best part is the stand – it’s super convenient for watching videos or making video calls hands-free. It feels sturdy and doesn’t wobble. Overall, great quality for the price, and I’d definitely recommend it!

Fits well and appears to be high quality

I liked the fact that this case was clear and advertised as strong with "GRAPHENE-ENHANCED DURABILITY". I purchased in January 2025 and it started to separate at the seam in March. It has a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer but the shipping is not free. Once I put it on my phone I never removed it so that fact that it was defective at the seam tells me it's not well made. I decided not to pay for the shipping but to invest that cost into a new case.

It’s exactly what I wanted

I really like this case from Zagg. Great design and usefulness
