The iPhone 16e Apple rolled out Wednesday is a huge upgrade over its previous budget SE handsets. But the new handset only comes in black and white colors. So along with it the iPhone giant launched iPhone 16e silicone cases in five colors — including three that aren’t black or white. Those would be fuschia, blue and green.
And you can already find third-party cases for the new handset, as well, but many more are sure to come soon. Check out some options below.
Dress up your boring iPhone 16e in a colorful case

Apple’s new cases, which come in fuschia, green, blue, black, and white colors, are made with a 55% recycled silicone material. Their “silky, soft-touch finish on the exterior that feels great in your hand,” according to the iPhone giant. And a soft microfiber lining offers further protection against scratches and such.
“Like every Apple-designed case, it undergoes thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process,” Apple said. “So not only does it look great, it’s built to protect your iPhone from scratches and drops.” If you’re looking for the best MagSafe cases that offer top-tier protection and style, check out our guide to the best iPhone 16e cases.
