It’s surprising for the Galaxy A16 5G to get six years worth of operating system upgrades. Samsung has only provided this level of support for its premium phones, like the Galaxy S24 series and the Z series foldables. Still, it’s great that this new budget phone will stay secure and up-to-date for many years.
But what good is all that software support if your phone takes a tumble? You’ll need a sturdy case to keep the outside as fresh as the inside. A phone that lasts deserves protection that does too. If you’re looking for a case that fits perfectly, look at our top options.

FNTCASE dual layer case
$8.39
The FNTCASE for the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G has a rugged, military-grade design. The back has a textured, dotted pattern in black, with a soft TPU inner layer that absorbs shock. These small, raised dots increase the surface area of the case, creating more friction when you hold it. It prevents your phone from slipping out of your hand, even when your fingers are slightly damp or when you’re holding it for a long time.
Oneagle MagSafe cover case
$18.99
Though costly, the Oneagle case is worth the consideration. It has two parts: a back cover and a front cover. The front cover is where the built-in 9H tempered glass screen protector sits to defend your phone’s display. You won’t need to buy another protector separately. Meanwhile, the back cover offers protection for the back and sides of the phone.
Puxicu soft case
$9.99
People like soft cases because they feel comfortable and are flexible. A soft case also absorbs shocks when it falls, squishing a little to spread the impact and keeping it from reaching the phone. This Puxicu product is made from such material, specifically TPU, and fits tightly around the phone. It comes in avocado green, but you can also choose other colors like black, coffee, and deep blue.
Hensinple magnetic clear case
$10.61
The Hensinple case has strong magnets built in, so your phone stays securely attached to your MagSafe chargers or car mounts. Also, the material won’t turn yellow over time, which is a major concern with clear cases. For extra protection, you get a tempered glass screen protector along with it.
LeYi heavy duty case
$7.99
Other than being a value-packed product with two tempered glass screen protectors, the LeYi case makes your phone look more premium than it’s actually worth. It has a rotating ring stand, magnetic car mount feature, and sliding camera lens cover. Though it doesn’t support wireless charging because of the metal ring, you’ll benefit from slipping your finger through it and getting a better grip on your phone.
Red2Fire non-slip case
$14.99
You’ll often hear about phone cases with raised edges around the sides or back, but the Red2Fire case has raised edges on the front as well. If your phone falls face-first, the glass, which is the most vulnerable part of your phone, won’t hit the ground. The case has two layers: a hard outer shell and a soft inner layer. The back has a frosted texture that resists fingerprints, and provides a non-slip surface that feels nice to hold.
Vansdon liquid silicone case
$9.99
While not fully waterproof, the liquid silicone used for this Vansdon case is naturally water-resistant, and should shield your phone against spills or light splashes. The case is also flexible enough for easy installation and removal, so you don’t have to worry about it losing its shape or it becoming hard to take off. The material is durable. It won’t crack or degrade easily, so it ensures long-term protection for your phone.
