Update: While we had a false start due to some technical difficulties, the next run of the limited edition Arc Titanium Tungsten Onyx Black iPhone 16 Bumper Cases are now live.
The Arc Pulse Bumper iPhone 16 cases have easily been among the most popular options with 9to5 readers this year. The unique bumper-style “cases” are really more like a pair of metal end pieces than snap onto either end of your device to provide corner, display, and camera array protection in style without covering up Apple’s wonderful iPhone 16 design. While you can still use our exclusive code to score a deal on the standard issue metal models (use code 9TO510 at checkout) in various colorways, Arc Pulse has informed us that it’s high-end special edition model for iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will finally be back in stock start at 5 a.m. ET/11 a.m. CET today (in 30 minutes from the time of writing) – this model sold out completely and very quickly at launch, so don’t sleep on this chance to score one if you’re interested as there’s no telling how long it will last and if it will come back in stock again down the line.
Rare chance Arc Pulse LE Titanium Onyx Black iPhone 16 Bumper Case
As detailed in our launch coverage, exclusive deal feature, and subsequent hands-on review, the Arc Pulse bumper iPhone 16 cases (if you want to call them that) are best-in-class. They feature CNC-machined aerospace-grade metals with custom engineered shock absorption to safeguard your device without completely covering up the iPhone color you chose. A soft rubbery material on the inside leaves your device scratch-free when you simply slide on the Arc bumpers on either end of iPhone 16.
All of this is the case on the standard models that come in five different colors – matte black, silver, graphite, rose bronze, and gold – but it also applies to the special edition Titanium Onyx Black model that makes use of special high-end materials and even more robust protection treatment.
