Whether it fits is settled first. Whether it is worth buying is a separate label.

Fit rarely carries across generations, so this lists only the exact models each product is separately documented to fit.
None of these cases is documented to fit any other model we cover. Treat each one as specific to iPhone 16.
Common wrong buys
What looks like it fits iPhone 16 but does not
The most common wrong buy is a case advertised as fitting the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 together: unless it has a Camera Control cutout or a conductive pass-through, the button is unusable through it.
These sit in the same cases aisle and are confirmed for a different exact model. We have no published answer saying any of them fits iPhone 16, so treat them as unverified for this device rather than as a fit.

Coming from an older model
Why a previous-generation case may fail here
iPhone 16 added the Camera Control button to the lower right edge, which is a new element a case has to account for.
A case cut for an iPhone 15 leaves no opening for Camera Control, and a solid side rail blocks the touch surface entirely. Screen protectors and USB-C cables carry over.
