Introduction (Does It Do What It Should)

It’s been a while since we reviewed a Grip2U product, and I think the last time was with the iPhone 14. Seriously, we didn’t do any for the iPhone 15? Weird. Oh well, we received three cases for three different versions of the new iPhone, including the BASE for the iPhone 15, the SLIM for the iPhone 16 Pro, and the BOOST with Kickstand for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Our Review of the Grip2U BASE for the iPhone 16

Okay, I might as well start out and say what makes the Grip2U. There is usually one of these elastic straps attached to them, made for just slipping in your fingers (however many you choose) and you can use your phone one-handed without worrying about dropping it.

All except the BASE. I would say that it is “based”, but some people say that can mean to have a unique point of view regardless of what others will say, and I hear that conservatives use this term a lot. In this case, it is more of a physical base, as there is MagSafe functionality, but sans the usual trademark Grip2U elastic strap.

There isn’t really much information about the BASE on the Grip2U website: (aka www.protectthedrop.com). What is interesting is that the one that I have is for the iPhone 16, but the design doesn’t match the one in the picture. Compare what I show off in the video vs. what is in the image here.

Our Review of the Grip2U SLIM for the iPhone 16 Pro

So, the SLIM has that trademark elastic strap from Grip2U, and it also has the MagSafe capability. The MagSafe creates this weird parenthesis effect around the elastic band.

Again, I’m not certain why the official website doesn’t have much information about this. Generally, most of the cases that I review usually have figures like what they are drop-tested from. Fortunately, I read the back of the product and it is apparently not Drop Tested, but it is also Dual Layer design.

By the way, you can also change the band, and I think I once had a few bands that I got from a Grip2U booth at CES, but that was a while ago.

Our Review of the Grip2U BOOST Kickstand for the iPhone 16 Pro Max

Okay, the BOOST not only has that elastic strap, but that very cool kickstand. Now, I have reviewed cases that have kickstands before, most recently from CASETiFY, and I think I did at one from UAG. Definitely that one from TORRAS.

What makes this particular BOOST Kickstand interesting is how it is kind of double-jointed. Most of the time, it is one single fold out thing. I show on the video what type of Kickstand it is, and I hope that it really highlights how good it is.

I also hope that you appreciate the “Am I Cheeky” bit. It’s something that I came up with at the last minute, and I blew out my vocal chords.

Facts About The Company

So, I checked on the “Our Story” section, and I found out it is “Born in Baltimore, designed in California”. And yeah, they really formed on the basis of preventing the drop. I don’t know why they didn’t use the grip2u.com website, but I’m guessing that it was taken.

What Does This Company Make?

Pretty much the cases with the straps on them, and some without straps. Seriously, I think that is about it.

Just the Specs, Man

If you’re the type that needs this info, this section is for you!

Once again, I have to say that I don’t know why the website did not have more information on these cases for the iPhone 16. Perhaps it is because the product is so new.

If there is something on this that I didn’t cover, please let me know.

Okay, Get To The Unboxing Already!

Maybe I Want It, But Is There Anything Else Like It? Maybe For A Lower Price? Please?

I’m going to simply ask you to look up CASETiFY, UAG, TORRAS, Gadget Guard, Atom Studios, and more! I mean, I look at a lot of cases, and I’m probably going to look at more of them.
