I bought the Otterbox case that Apple sells, as well as a screen pretector. The case protects the back and sides of the phone but doesn't make the phone bulky. Jessica

Hi everyone, I really appreciate the discussion on whether to go to a pro model. I am upgrading from my 13 Pro to the 16 Pro, and I'm glad to know that the sound is better on the 16 pro. Right now, I have my 13 in an Otter Box case, but it looks like I will need to get a new case for the 16 Pro. I don't want the phone to be too bulky when I'm carrying it around, but I want it to be protected from my dropping it accidentally and so forth. Thanks for any suggestions.
