I'm not very fond of full-on cases, not to mentioned that they make the already large iPhone 15/16 Pro Max huge.

I had already designed a bumper for my Apple Watch Ultra 2 (look at my profile) and thought of doing the same for the iPhone cameras, but decided to search for it first and found the one for the 14 Pro Max. As it would not fit my cameras, and also I didn't like the sharp finish on the top end, I created one myself.

Of course, it'll not protect your cameras from sharp, pointy things, but it will protect the lens and corners from scraping on tables and other surfaces.

Printing this on my Creality K1, on High Quality profile using Creality's Hyper PLA fits my iPhone 15/16 Pro Max cameras exactly. It's a bit snug, of course, but that's on purpose so it doesn't fall of easily. You may have to experiment scaling the model up or down a bit to find the best fit for you.

I hope someone will enjoy this as much as I have!

Special thanks to the user "smk242" @ Thingiverse for testing it on the iPhone 16s.

Material tips: PLA tends to become loose after a few weeks most likely due to heat and material stress. Also, putting it on an off accelerates the process. I've made some using PETG and have used them for 3+ months without problems. I believe more resistant materials such as ASA and Nylon may perform even better, but have never tested it.

Differences of the remix compared to the original While I've made this model design from scratch, there's no denying it's a remix of the one from “im_stupid” @ Thingiverse. His model is for a 14 Pro/Max cameras while mine are for the iPhone 15/16 Pro/Max. My design also has a chamfer at the top for a smoother finish.
