• Buying Guide • iPhone 16 • iPhone 16 back cover • iPhone 16 screen guard

By The Hatke team · Updated 10 Nov 2026 · We only list products made for this exact model, in stock, at today's prices.

For iPhone 16 tempered glass, get the ₹299 privacy glass if strangers can see your screen on the metro, or the ₹50 screen protector if you only want scratch cover. Then pair it with a cover made for the iPhone 16, because iPhone 15 covers don't fit.

Specs from Apple's iPhone 16 spec sheet. The 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16e need their own covers.

iPhone 16 tempered glass or privacy glass?

Both are cut for the 6.1-inch iPhone 16. The choice is about who can see your screen.

Basic screen protector₹50
✓Full brightness, normal viewing angles
✓Cheap to swap when it chips
✗Anyone beside you can read your screen
Privacy glassOur pick
✓Screen looks dark from the side
✓Good for UPI, chats and office mail in public
✗A little dimmer, so raise brightness outdoors
Good to know: both stop just short of the screen edge. That gap is normal, and it leaves room for your cover's raised lip.

Why your old iPhone 15 cover won't fit

1The cameras moved. The iPhone 16's two lenses sit one above the other, not diagonally like the iPhone 15.
2There's a new button. Camera Control sits on the right side, below the power button.
3The mute switch is gone. An Action button takes its place.

The body size is the same as the iPhone 15, which is why people try. The cut-outs are what don't line up.

Best cover for iPhone 16, by how you use it

Six picks, all listed for the iPhone 16 and in stock today.

More Original Silicone colours in stock: red, purple, yellow and white, all ₹349.

Want a metal case for iPhone 16?

Our MB (metal-back) cases put a printed metal plate on a protective case. Every design below is ₹349.

Also in metal-back: Core Reactor, Satyamev Jayate, Dark Wood and Copper Luxe Marble.

Lens ring and charging extras

The vertical camera bump is the first thing to scrape on a table. A ring guards each lens edge.

Ring colours: silver, rose pink and sea green. Prefer one clear sheet? Try the ₹100 lens glass.

The iPhone 16 charges over USB-C, so pair the adapter with our Type-C to Type-C cable (₹299). Apple says 25W MagSafe needs a 30W or bigger adapter, so treat ours as a wired spare.

Questions customers ask us

These come from Google searches and from our chat support.

Which screen guard is best for iPhone 16?+

The privacy glass if you use your phone in crowded places. If privacy doesn't matter, the ₹50 screen protector keeps full brightness.

Do iPhone 15 covers fit the iPhone 16?+

No. The camera layout and buttons changed, so pick from covers made for the iPhone 16.

Will my wireless or MagSafe charger work with the cover on?+

For a MagSafe charger or car mount to snap on firmly, use a cover with its own magnet ring. The anti-yellow MagSafe and MagSafe clear silicone cases have one.

Is the paper matte case soft or hard?+

Hard: the paper matte MagSafe case is thin polycarbonate with a frosted finish. For a soft, grippy feel, go for Original Silicone.

Is your iPhone 16 silicone case original Apple?+

No. Original Silicone is the name of our soft-touch style, made by The Hatke to fit the iPhone 16.

Which black cover suits the iPhone 16?+

For a plain look, the black wallet case. For something bolder, the Satyamev Jayate or Stealth metal-back case.
