When you buy a new phone, the next logical step is picking up a case. And let’s be real — there’s a lot to consider. Do you want something slim or ultra-protective? Matte or glossy? What about durability? The options are endless.

The Moment Camera Case for iPhone is more than just a protective shell—it’s designed with photographers in mind. It features raised edges around the entire phone for extra drop protection, covered buttons for a seamless feel, and precise cutouts for the speaker grills, USB-C port, and camera control button. But the real standout feature? A special port on the back that lets you attach Moment’s lineup of mobile lenses. We’ll get to that in a second.

This case comes in four colors: Black, Red Clay, Indigo, and Ivy. The version I’m reviewing today is Red Clay. It has a smooth, premium feel on the back, with raised edges to add some extra protection. You’ll also notice a subtle black-line pattern across the back — it’s purely for aesthetics, but it gives the case a bit of extra character.

Real-World Protection

I’ve accidentally tested this case’s durability more times than I’d like to admit—drops from different angles, on different surfaces, you name it. And I can confidently say this case holds up. The raised lips and minimal cutouts play a huge role in keeping my phone safe. It absorbs impact well, and even after multiple drops, my phone remains unscathed.

The Magic of the Camera Cutout

Now, let’s talk about the camera cutout — this is where the magic happens. This case is designed to work seamlessly with Moment’s iPhone 16 lens lineup, and this year, the system is better than ever. Instead of screwing on like previous versions, the new lenses simply snap into place—no twisting, no removing parts, just a quick and easy installation. This means you can swap lenses on the fly without missing a shot.

Moment has an extensive range of lenses — more than I can even keep track of— but the important thing is that they work effortlessly with this case, making it a must-have for mobile photographers looking to elevate their shots.

My Daily Driver

I’m not someone who babies my phone. I put it through a lot — mounting it on my car, tossing it for a unique shot, even handing it to my toddler (which, let’s be honest, is the ultimate durability test). This case has been through it all and still shows no signs of wear.
