The PolarPro LiteChaser 16 Base Case provides a slimmer platform that lets you quickly slide PolarPro glass and filters in front of your iPhone 16 Pro Max. This kit includes the BaseCase and a LiteChaser Pro UV Filter to protect the camera array while allowing you to shoot through the glass.
The BaseCase for iPhone 16 Pro Max foregoes the embedded Cold Shoe mount found on the ProCase, which makes the design slimmer and compatible with wireless charging. At the same time, PolarPro strengthened the MagSafe array—making it 2x thicker and stronger—for a more secure connection to MagSafe vehicle mounts.
Use the BaseCase when you want a minimalist platform that supports creative filters and lenses while keeping a low profile. It provides a DSLR-like handling option for creatives who want to add PolarPro filters and lenses in front of their phone glass.
The kit includes a LiteChaser Pro UV Filter that protects your iPhone's camera lenses from the elements. PolarPro states this UV filter protects the camera array similarly to their Defender Plate, yet still lets you shoot directly through the glass.
Additionally, the BaseCase features a new Flip-Down defender. You can flip it down to protect the lenses and flip it up for quick shots without removing the defender entirely.
The BaseCase includes a removable grip engineered to position your finger for the iPhone 16 Pro camera control button. The grip also has two built-in 1/4"-20 mounts—one on the top and one on the bottom—so you can mount the phone to a tripod and add an SSD or other accessories right out of the box.
The QuickSlide filter and lens locking system allows you to seamlessly change filters and lenses. The system is compatible with all LiteChaser 15 filters and adapters, letting you swap creative glass quickly during a shoot.
Question: Does this BaseCase allow wireless charging?
Answer: The product description states the BaseCase foregoes the embedded Cold Shoe mount, making it slimmer and compatible with wireless charging. However, one listed feature notes the magnet array line with a parenthetical "(not wireless charging compatible due to the Cold Shoe Mount)". Please contact us if you need clarification for a specific configuration before purchase.
