My brand new iPhone wobbles on flat surfaces, and this is a problem

Hello, my $1,000 Apple iPhone 16 that's contained in a $60 Apple brand silicone case is currently wobbling on flat surfaces when I try to use the touch screen, due to the camera lens protruding. This is really distracting, and I've been having buyer's remorse ever since I bought it last weekend (really miss my 11). On a positive note, it makes me use the phone less, which might be a good thing.

I'm here to ask if there's any Apple brand iPhone cases that don't wobble, and I'll go ahead and spend another $60 on one tomorrow...?

To reiterate:

$1,000 iPhone 16, manufactured by Apple in 2024 - wobbles on flat surfaces outside of its case

$60 black silicone 16 case, manufactured by Apple in 2024 - wobbles on flat surfaces

___________ 16 case, manufactured by Apple - doesn't wobble on flat surfaces

Please let me know, thank you.





iPhone 16, iOS 18

The last few sentences of your post are confusing. In any case Apple does not make a case such as you describe. I’m not aware of any third party cases meeting your requirements, but that doesn’t mean much. There literally are hundreds and hundreds of case manufacturers.


You have 14 days to return your iPhone for a refund. Buyers remorse is never fun. I’d suggest returning it.
