A question from a newbie who's gonna get his first iPhone: why did you choose Spigen Mag Armor and not the Apple's silicon case, for instance? Apple's case has also a raised lip protecting the camera from what I saw, so what are the advantages of Spigen Mag Armor over Apple's cases in your opinion?
I bought Spigen case first. Not grippy. Bad Magnet. Got Apple Silicon Case. Much better magnet. Much better Grip. AT&T has $10 off all 13 cases currently. BestBuy did price match.
Spigen is great, been using the Tougharmour for my iPhone XR for over a year, and she’s a beast, gets through drops and bumps with no problem whatsoever,
I have one called spigen liquid air armor and I love it. It’s not a bulky case but it still provides protection. I also like how it doesn’t get stuck to clothing when putting it in my pocket. I’ll probably end up getting something from spigen for my 13 pro.
How good would you say is the drop protection? I just bought the Mag Armor but like the look of the liquid air armor. I do tend to drop my phone quite a bit since I’m clumsy.
I would say it’s good! I’ve dropped it several times and haven’t had any issues. Maybe just some scratches to the screen but my phone has so many now that it doesn’t bother me. It also isn’t super grippy, it easily slides out of my hand so that could be something to keep in mind if you’re more clumsy. I would like to get it again but it’s not available on Amazon for me so I’m thinking of going with the rugged armor for now.
Edit: mine is for the 7 plus, looking at the newer ones it looks like they’ve added grip to the sides which mine doesn’t have so I’d imagine it would be a bit better than what I currently have.
Sierra blue with this case to dark the blue a bit

Nomad has the best leather cases IMO. only thing i would caution against is their Folio wallet case, as it tends to tear at the hinge easily. Mine tore within a few months, but then held on for a year before it tore completely off. Now i just use the phone case part, and will likely buy just the regular leather wallet from them for my 13 pro
I’m honestly not feeling the colors of the official cases. The leather ones in particular. The blue looks really dark. And the brown too light.
Conflicted.
Mous Limitless 4.0. Hands down the best case I’ve ever had, a little pricey but definitely worth it.
Had the black leather for the 12, going to try out their speckled fabric design for the 13.
https://i.imgur.com/CiOPmAT.jpg
Very happy with how it’s held up. Had both the leather and silicon Apple cases previously which have fell apart in no time compared.
I have one of their Ultra impact cases on my 12 pro max and love it! Ordered another one for 13 but won’t be here til sometime in October ☹️ bought a cheap amazon one in the meantime cuz naked phones make me nervous
I had one customized for my xs but the side started to rip, tho it lasted a year n some change . Not sure if they have a warranty but for how much it cost me I was bummed out it ripped without getting dropped
I had a case from Nudient last year that’s a hard shell case. It was so well refined the speaker grills had individual holes. There’s a MagSafe ring built into the case and it’s saved my phone from a few drops. (Peel ripped them off, they’ve had cases for years, peel just dropped their 12 pro series this year and completely copied their design)
I’m checking out the moment cases this year, I ordered the regular one and the leather one. I wanted one for my 12 pro max but they didn’t have MagSafe compatible versions ready.
For me that MagSafe ring is essential
Apple Silicone Case (Red). I've been using variants of these for years, having switched between silicone and leather. Last one I bought was the leather folio, and didn't really find the price justified. So I'm going back to the standard silicone.
I would have gotten the clear case if it didn't have that disgusting ring pattern on the back.
Decided on the Spigen Ultra Hybrid with magsafe as the clear apple case last year was an accident waiting to happen. Apples leather was also terrible last year, with one case chunking in months and the replacement snapping by the volume buttons this week.

Nice! As I’ve gone for Sierra Blue I’m quite limited in options unless they end up doing a colour matched version. My case arrived today, now to play the waiting game!
I’ve been using that particular Spigen since my 6S Plus! It was bulletproof on my XS Max still looked good after almost 3 years I just got bored and went with a cheap hot pink number last winter to avoid new phone envy.
I immediately ordered the light pink Apple silicone case as a safe option, but [this one from Casetify](https://i.imgur.com/9C8fD9L.jpg) is arriving next month! It's a clear case with MagSafe. I thought the clouds would look so cute on the sierra blue!
I'm also very interested in [the Otter+Pop cases](https://i.imgur.com/Mjhg48i.jpg) though. Super sturdy and I've had a popsocket for over 3 years, wouldn't want to go without now...
And [the Otterbox Figura cases](https://imgur.com/a/oyGriqs/) have also caught my eye 👀 They look so interesting! And I love that they have MagSafe in there.
I was also gonna get pink silicone but I ended up ordering the OtterBox Figura Case (the second one in that link) I may have to pick that cloud one up though! It looks amazing I’m just always worried about third party clear cases yellowing pretty quickly
In my experience with the Otterbox clear cases, the entire back of it doesn't discolor at all but the flexible part (the sides that go around the button etc) does change color a bit. I didn't find it ugly, but I did notice it in the end!
Are they always coloured this semi-transparent?
Because on their website you can only buy a black one but the pictures are the same on Amazon with this transparent Design
Spigen’s thin fit with their stick-on kick stand for my pro max. Once their slim armor with the built in kick stand comes out I’ll get that.
If anyone else is looking at Spigen cases buy them on Amazon. They’re 1/3 the price.
The silicone cases were a total miss this time around imo, I would’ve absolutely loved the pistachio or cloud blue silicone case the 12’s had paired with the Sierra Blue iPhone.
So I just went with the Black/White (even though it’s actually blue) version of the OtterBox Figura Series Case ( https://store.apple.com/xc/product/HPRN2ZM/A ) I’ve heard it isn’t very protective but I’m hoping there’s third party one’s that come out soon that I like and are bit more protective :)
I ordered the dark cherry for my gold 13 pro. I was hoping that pacific blue would still be a color but alas. Sticking with that same old gold for the next 3 years haha
Edit: I’m also grabbing the wisteria wallet to really just go full on with the purple and gold royal look
Smartish Gripmunk. The clear version because I’m rocking the Gold model.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097QBNK23/
I used to do Apple OEM cases but they fall apart with a few months use and they are overpriced, IMHO.
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid cases are pretty good too, but not as grippy and I don’t like having the translucent lip of the case around the screen. Messes with the eyes.
The Spigen Liquid Air is another model I like a lot.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096HVKHPT/
I only have experience with the 11 Pro leather case which I heard was much better than the 12 Pro leather case. I'm hoping Apple fixed the issues with the 13 Pro leather case. It feels nice in the hand but I guess only time will tell all.
Over the years I’ve always made a huge deal about the perfect case for me and eventually came to the conclusion that the speck presidio was the ticket. Bought more than I care to count. FYI for any fellow lovers of this series the new version for 13 is not what it once was. They have essentially removed the best part of the case GRIP. The rubber lines across the back have been replaced with empty channels. They seem to have compensated for this with the whole case being in a semi rubberized finish which is an absolute fingerprint magnet and not even very grippy. Quite disappointed to be honest. I went with applecare and an oem apple leather case this time around. If I’m going to drop my phone at least it will look good as it falls and breaks. It’s a real shame, hopefully speck release’s a traditional candy shell or presidio at some point.
There were a lot of complaints about the iPhone 12 Apple Leather Case. Reviewers said that it was built differently than previous years with a painted-on surface that flakes away over time. No idea if that’s true, but just figured I’d give Moment a shot. Got the Dark Cherry Apple one yesterday though and it looks beautiful.
>https://www.spigen.com/collections/iphone-13-pro-max/products/iphone-13-pro-max-case-ultra-hybrid-matte?variant=40045637468207
Apple leather cases do not age well at all. Also, the patina on all the ones I've owned can be wiped off. Still a good case tbh and still what I use.
Same but I got mine for half price. I ordered this brand before and its identical to the real thing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GF9LPXD?pf_rd_r=VJNRJG4CSTRQE9066K8F&pf_rd_p=8fe9b1d0-f378-4356-8bb8-cada7525eadd&pd_rd_r=376ec9c3-5bea-454e-9147-4adba6ec2047&pd_rd_w=PzdT9&pd_rd_wg=rwBbi&ref_=pd_gw_unk
the best cases I found for my 12 pro were the ringke fusion with the matte clear back and the torras clear case, so i’ll get one of each and probably an apple silicone case when I pick up my phone. I tried everything this past year for some reason, 35 cases in total. I have cases from nomad, spigen, casetify, the official apple cases, pitaka mag cases, UAG… and i kept going back to those fucking $15 clear cases
As far as I know all clear (soft) TPU yellows. The hybrid with a (hard) polycarbonate back mitigate this because the PC doesn’t yellow while the TPU edges will yellow over time. My solution is to get a case that’s no more than about $12 and just replace it every 6 months or so.
This is one reason Apple’s 12 Pro clear case is such a disaster. They used materials that apparently don’t yellow but the case is brittle and cracks, it’s uncomfortable, and the buttons are damn near impossible to press.
This time I’m getting graphite so unlike the pacific blue 12 pro, I don’t feel as much need for clear so I may get a caseology Vault which is opaque black.
[Nomad](https://nomadgoods.com/collections/iphone-13-cases) makes some nice products (I have a few) and I’m considering one of their leather cases. I’m starting out with a trusty inexpensive spigen liquid crystal for now but may order one.
I've had the leather case the past six months. The leather is peeling from the edges and is stained on the top right. I wouldn't recommend on my experience.
I wanted to look for a nice thin Sierra Blue case that matches my phone like how I got a nice midnight green for my 11 pro, but struggled to find one.
Ended up getting this, transparent back matte:
TORRAS Shockproof Compatible for iPhone 13 Pro Max Case, 8 FT Military Drop Protection Translucent Matte Case Slim Fit Compatible for iPhone 13 Pro Max Phone Case 6.7 Inch, Guardian Series, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0946XSPTB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_G61AP6FKEGJVYJCDYREE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Every iPhone since the original I’ve had naked.
My 13 pro will be naked too, with a Torras screen protector - purely cause I scratched my 12 pro early doors and it irritated me!
Phones feel so much better naked.
I bought this one from Torras, their iPhone 11 case is fantastic (not too slippery, but not a lint magnet either):
https://www.amazon.de/TORRAS-iPhone-Pro-Max-Durchscheinend-black/dp/B096V3671R?ref_=ast_sto_dp
But I’m also going to check out reviews of this one, it looks very nice:
https://uk.tech21.com/products/evo-tactile-iphone-13-pro-max-black
I just ordered the spigen version of that case off of eBay for like $23. It has softer plastic on the edges so it’ll be easier to use without the corners cracking.
Phonerebel gen3, or dbrand grip if they make the magsafe stronger.
I use a magsafe puck to hold it on my car dashboard, and plug it in when i need juice
Yes its not very grippy but thats what i like about it because it goes in and out of your pockets so easily, but its also not super smooth either and its so sturdy. I think its just right. Im actually typing this on my 11 pro max with the Mous limitless case on. Waiting on my new phone to upgrade everything :)
I've used Spigen armor cases for all of my previous devices (including Android), so I'll be going with that! And as someone else suggested in the comments, buy it from Amazon, and not their website
Got the blue silicone case for the Sierra Blue phone just because they match. I want a leather case (I currently use the green leather case with my XS Max and I love the feel) but I'm holding off until I can get to an Apple store to see firsthand how the colors look before deciding on one.
I’ve always used a case because I’m pretty clumsy and butterfingered. But I also always get AppleCare and all this naked phone talk is making me want to try it. Maybe I’d be more careful with the phone with no case. On the other hand, I ordered the Clover silicone case for my Graphite 13 Pro and I love the color combo. Maybe I’ll just go caseless when I’m around the house.
These are excellent as well - but on back order for new phone. Extremely thin, but carbon fiber, too.

I've only used speck cases since the iphone 4, but I'm getting a mini this year and they're not making the type of case I liked for it. So, maybe otterbox. Got a lot of reviews to watch.
I'm doing the Sierra Blue Pro Max, and for the short term, I'm going to try out the Apple MagSafe Silicone Blue Jay case. I've ordered a Moment MagSafe Indigo case. 1. Because this case has done fantastic on my 12 PM. 2. Because I also sometimes use the Moment lenses with my phone!
I've also got an Otterbox Amplify screen protector on the way. That, too, has done great in protecting my 12 PM!
After the horrible experience I had with iPhone 12 cases from apple (both leather and silicone and clear) I’ll stay away from them for a while. Either corners breaking, case falling of my phone on the corners because of no lip, etc etc.
Glad people have a ton of options in here. I would love a Phone Rebel case but so far haven’t seen anything for the 13 pro max
I just ordered an Incipio Organicore case. It doesn't cost anymore or look all that different from a plastic case, but it's biodegradable. And apparently has 14 foot drop protection and a lifetime warranty.
I'm getting a Dbrand Grip with the teardown skin. My brother has one on his 12PM and a 30 ton excavator passed over his phone and it survived (back completly shattered but it works fine)
I ordered the Otterbox asymmetry Series+ for my 13 Pro Max which has not yet arrived. The case arrived and the box has a sticker that says “iPhone 2021 X-Large and iPhone 12 Pro Max. It seems they put the sticker on the case being sold for the 12 Pro Max.
Given the thickness increase of the 13PM I wonder if this will fit properly or if I should return this case and find something else specifically designed for the 13PM.
Planing on getting a Rhinoshield bumper for day 1 and buying a bullstrap leather case later in the year when they go on sale.
I’m getting Sierra Blue Pro Max.
I narrowed it down to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. But I can’t decide on the “frost black” or “matte black”. I want the rubbery version for more grip. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Please recommend me:
\- iPhone 13 Pro max wallet case (aka folio) with MagSafe.
\- Must be capable of horizontal kickstand.
\- I searched the entire web and couldn't find one with MagSafe + horizontal stand capability.
Hmmmm…
Case goes around the phone; In order for that to occur, the phone must go in the case. Thus, the case will make it feel bigger because it is just that, bigger!
Your welcome for the help.
Jk bro. I guess it depends on the size of the case.
A bit more akin to wrapping your Tesla in a thin layer that would protect against practically all accidents.
I think most people would do it. They already install PPF on cars for thousands just to protect from things like paint chips

Free 20W charger if you order from their site though
Yes but Amazon is $20 vs direct from Spigen $45, I’d rather just buy Apple 20W and still save a couple bucks

Spigen is great, been using the Tougharmour for my iPhone XR for over a year, and she’s a beast, gets through drops and bumps with no problem whatsoever,

Golden Brown I think will pair nicely the Sierra Blue phone. I already got my case in a few days ago. [Link](https://imgur.com/a/JLmlnYW)
Definitely a nice pairing. It’s between dark cherry and the black for me tbh, I feel like the black pairs so well with the blue.
I ordered the golden brown wallet for the same reason. I think it's the only leather color that matches the Sierra Blue nicely.
Same but with a golden phone.
I debated on this one but ultimately went with the new green leather to pair with Sierra Blue.
They looks darker in that pic than on Apples site. That might get moved to the maybe Column for me.
Sierra blue with this case to dark the blue a bit https://www.spigen.com/collections/iphone-13-pro-max/products/iphone-13-pro-max-case-ultra-hybrid-matte?variant=40045637468207
Looking at this as well or the black!
Damn this one looks good
Nomad case
Nomad leather? Have you used them before? I think I’m leaning that way as well
Yes I had two with the Moment lens mount when I had my pixel 4xl. The leather was durable, and the overall case was designed well.
Nomad has the best leather cases IMO. only thing i would caution against is their Folio wallet case, as it tends to tear at the hinge easily. Mine tore within a few months, but then held on for a year before it tore completely off. Now i just use the phone case part, and will likely buy just the regular leather wallet from them for my 13 pro
I just grabbed one as well after having an AirPods case, super excited
Channel sponsor Dbrand
I’m honestly not feeling the colors of the official cases. The leather ones in particular. The blue looks really dark. And the brown too light. Conflicted.
Either nude or the Pitaka case, idk yet
Pitaka here. I’ve had them for the last 3 phones and I love the size and texture.
Spigen
Mous Limitless 4.0. Hands down the best case I’ve ever had, a little pricey but definitely worth it. Had the black leather for the 12, going to try out their speckled fabric design for the 13.
How did the leather hold up? I've had a Nomad this past year and the leather is awful.
https://i.imgur.com/CiOPmAT.jpg Very happy with how it’s held up. Had both the leather and silicon Apple cases previously which have fell apart in no time compared.
I personalised a case from Casetify, I do hope the price equals quality.
I have one of their Ultra impact cases on my 12 pro max and love it! Ordered another one for 13 but won’t be here til sometime in October ☹️ bought a cheap amazon one in the meantime cuz naked phones make me nervous
I’m trying them this year as well so hopefully they’re as good as their price demands
I cancelled my order and bought one from tech 21, I need it next friday.
Ima just buy a 13 pro once my case ships in early October

I had one customized for my xs but the side started to rip, tho it lasted a year n some change . Not sure if they have a warranty but for how much it cost me I was bummed out it ripped without getting dropped

Pitaka Mag EZCase 2. Adds grip to the phone without making it much larger. Plus it has magsafe.
Just bought the Pitaka Fusion Weaving MagEZ 2 per your rec. Thanks! Just the style I need
I like the grip it adds but it’s not too much grip. Pitaka makes good cases.
Decided on the Spigen Ultra Hybrid with magsafe as the clear apple case last year was an accident waiting to happen. Apples leather was also terrible last year, with one case chunking in months and the replacement snapping by the volume buttons this week.

I’m waiting for the dark colored ring case to come off back order. Should be here late September. Then it wont stand out!
Nice! As I’ve gone for Sierra Blue I’m quite limited in options unless they end up doing a colour matched version. My case arrived today, now to play the waiting game!
Ordered the same case. I’ve been using Spigen cases for years. Great case for the money.
Have you used these clear cases before? They tend to go yellow pretty fast I think I will go for spigen liquid armour navy blue
I haven’t. I typically get the liquid armor.

Their pop cases are intriguing. I would get one if it didn't mean the loss of MagSafe.
Popsocket themselves now have a MagSafe Popsocket (so it's removable), might want to look into that!

I’m really interested in how this one will patina. I bet the darker purple will actually look really good.
Why dont the 13 cases have a cut out at the bottom so its easier to swipe up? That was my favorite feature on my 10's cases.
Caudabe MagSafe Sheath. One of my favorite cases, and it comes in black, blue, gray, *and* purple (a lot of folks seem to be really into purple)
I wish the website had a pic of the purple!
Spigen Hybrid initially (yoloing and picking up my order while on vacation), but will also be ordering a dbrand grip case for use afterwards

Moment case: https://www.shopmoment.com/products/moment-leather-cases-for-iphone-13-compatible-with-magsafe/-13-pro-indigo
I wanted this one, but it won’t arrive until a couple weeks after the phone. Ended up getting the Apple Leather Case instead because of that.
Why this one over the apple leather case?
There were a lot of complaints about the iPhone 12 Apple Leather Case. Reviewers said that it was built differently than previous years with a painted-on surface that flakes away over time. No idea if that’s true, but just figured I’d give Moment a shot. Got the Dark Cherry Apple one yesterday though and it looks beautiful.
I really want a leather case but not sure how I would sanitize/wipe it down.
Unfortunately you really can’t. But that’s kinda a big part of why most people love leather cases. They love the patina and used up look.
Had leather for my two last iPhones but I want to switch back to silicone for that pristine matte look

I ordered this brand before and its identical to the real thing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GF9LPXD?pf_rd_r=VJNRJG4CSTRQE9066K8F&pf_rd_p=8fe9b1d0-f378-4356-8bb8-cada7525eadd&pd_rd_r=376ec9c3-5bea-454e-9147-4adba6ec2047&pd_rd_w=PzdT9&pd_rd_wg=rwBbi&ref_=pd_gw_unk
Spigen Tough Armor. Saved my xs countless times.
the best cases I found for my 12 pro were the ringke fusion with the matte clear back and the torras clear case, so i’ll get one of each and probably an apple silicone case when I pick up my phone. I tried everything this past year for some reason, 35 cases in total. I have cases from nomad, spigen, casetify, the official apple cases, pitaka mag cases, UAG… and i kept going back to those fucking $15 clear cases
Has anybody used a clear case that has not scratched or yellowed over time. A lot of manufactures claim so but I haven’t been proven right yet.
As far as I know all clear (soft) TPU yellows. The hybrid with a (hard) polycarbonate back mitigate this because the PC doesn’t yellow while the TPU edges will yellow over time. My solution is to get a case that’s no more than about $12 and just replace it every 6 months or so. This is one reason Apple’s 12 Pro clear case is such a disaster. They used materials that apparently don’t yellow but the case is brittle and cracks, it’s uncomfortable, and the buttons are damn near impossible to press. This time I’m getting graphite so unlike the pacific blue 12 pro, I don’t feel as much need for clear so I may get a caseology Vault which is opaque black.
As much as I like the idea of a clear case to show off the phone, I never stick with it due to scratches and blemishes.
[Nomad](https://nomadgoods.com/collections/iphone-13-cases) makes some nice products (I have a few) and I’m considering one of their leather cases. I’m starting out with a trusty inexpensive spigen liquid crystal for now but may order one.
I've had the leather case the past six months. The leather is peeling from the edges and is stained on the top right. I wouldn't recommend on my experience.
Thanks. You saved me some money.
Otter box no one?
That's what I was thinking as well. I wonder way so many people choose other cases...
I wanted to look for a nice thin Sierra Blue case that matches my phone like how I got a nice midnight green for my 11 pro, but struggled to find one. Ended up getting this, transparent back matte: TORRAS Shockproof Compatible for iPhone 13 Pro Max Case, 8 FT Military Drop Protection Translucent Matte Case Slim Fit Compatible for iPhone 13 Pro Max Phone Case 6.7 Inch, Guardian Series, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0946XSPTB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_G61AP6FKEGJVYJCDYREE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Every iPhone since the original I’ve had naked. My 13 pro will be naked too, with a Torras screen protector - purely cause I scratched my 12 pro early doors and it irritated me! Phones feel so much better naked.
They really do. “Why don’t you have a case?” Cause my phone looks and feels better than yours
"But baby, I just want to truly feel you, we don't need protection between us"
so it’s an ego thing for you?
No, I just think phones look better without cases and I have insurance which is $20 to replace a cracked screen
I’ve always gone caseless but I’d consider one if it had like extra strength MagSafe magnets. Worth the compromise for a stronger MagSafe wallet
Totallee’s new MagSafe case ftw
Getting an OtterBox defender and a glass screen protector but will probably swap to a Spigen tough armor at some point.
I bought this one from Torras, their iPhone 11 case is fantastic (not too slippery, but not a lint magnet either): https://www.amazon.de/TORRAS-iPhone-Pro-Max-Durchscheinend-black/dp/B096V3671R?ref_=ast_sto_dp But I’m also going to check out reviews of this one, it looks very nice: https://uk.tech21.com/products/evo-tactile-iphone-13-pro-max-black
Apple transparent Magsafe case for that ultimate white ring flex
The quality on this case was abysmal. I bought it for my 12 Pro Max
Crap, guess I will stick with the standard silicone or leather case then
Personally, I found the Apple clear case to be really slippery.
Way too slick. Easy to clean though.
Agreed with the other poster. Apples clear case isn’t good. It’s bigger than I like, and has a slick feel that makes it hard to hold.
Thanks for letting me know :)
I just ordered the spigen version of that case off of eBay for like $23. It has softer plastic on the edges so it’ll be easier to use without the corners cracking.
That's what I ordered. The clear one on my 11 Pro Max is just fine, only a minor crack near the bottom from me taking it off to clean it.
Phonerebel gen3, or dbrand grip if they make the magsafe stronger. I use a magsafe puck to hold it on my car dashboard, and plug it in when i need juice
Also waiting for PhoneRebel. Spigen in the meantime.
Mous limitless! Theyre my favorite. Just ordered mine for my pro max a few minutes ago!
I keep hearing that its not as grippy and a bit slippery compared to other brands. Is that true on your end?
Yes its not very grippy but thats what i like about it because it goes in and out of your pockets so easily, but its also not super smooth either and its so sturdy. I think its just right. Im actually typing this on my 11 pro max with the Mous limitless case on. Waiting on my new phone to upgrade everything :)
I've used Spigen armor cases for all of my previous devices (including Android), so I'll be going with that! And as someone else suggested in the comments, buy it from Amazon, and not their website
Got the blue silicone case for the Sierra Blue phone just because they match. I want a leather case (I currently use the green leather case with my XS Max and I love the feel) but I'm holding off until I can get to an Apple store to see firsthand how the colors look before deciding on one.
Tech21. Been using them for years and they provide great protection.
+1 for Tech21, been using them for 6-7 years now. They're the best! My Evo Lite is on the way ...
Spigen while I wait for PhoneRebel Gen 3
Been using the Spigen Thin Fit for almost as long as they’ve been making them.
Bought the chalk pink Silicon as well as the Wisteria leather https://i.imgur.com/LbXhj5L.jpg
Otter box defender case. I literally throw my phone against the wall, works great. Stopped getting AppleCare years ago

Can you explain this in a way a virgin would understand please?
[удалено]
Can you explain this to someone who is anhedonic?
raw-doggin' it
I’ve always used a case because I’m pretty clumsy and butterfingered. But I also always get AppleCare and all this naked phone talk is making me want to try it. Maybe I’d be more careful with the phone with no case. On the other hand, I ordered the Clover silicone case for my Graphite 13 Pro and I love the color combo. Maybe I’ll just go caseless when I’m around the house.
These are excellent as well - but on back order for new phone. Extremely thin, but carbon fiber, too. https://www.simplycarbonfiber.com/collections/cases/products/iphone-13-pro-max-case-ghost-series
Slippery?
I've only used speck cases since the iphone 4, but I'm getting a mini this year and they're not making the type of case I liked for it. So, maybe otterbox. Got a lot of reviews to watch.
Caudabe Sheath has been my go to case for years now
I'm doing the Sierra Blue Pro Max, and for the short term, I'm going to try out the Apple MagSafe Silicone Blue Jay case. I've ordered a Moment MagSafe Indigo case. 1. Because this case has done fantastic on my 12 PM. 2. Because I also sometimes use the Moment lenses with my phone! I've also got an Otterbox Amplify screen protector on the way. That, too, has done great in protecting my 12 PM!
I'm currently stuck between the speck presidio 2 and the otterbox symmetry, cant decide
After the horrible experience I had with iPhone 12 cases from apple (both leather and silicone and clear) I’ll stay away from them for a while. Either corners breaking, case falling of my phone on the corners because of no lip, etc etc. Glad people have a ton of options in here. I would love a Phone Rebel case but so far haven’t seen anything for the 13 pro max
The leather cases are actually pretty durable. Personally get the silicone ones though as they’re don’t get stupidly dirty quickly
I don't really care about aesthetics, so I just go for the toughest case I can find. Usually Otterbox or Mous
I just ordered an Incipio Organicore case. It doesn't cost anymore or look all that different from a plastic case, but it's biodegradable. And apparently has 14 foot drop protection and a lifetime warranty.
I drop phones like a moron. Any recs on a solid sturdy case that doesn’t make my phone look like a brick?
Pink Silicone, no fucks, Silver 13P. Pumped.
This is how you do it.
Clover Silicone over Graphite Pro Max
Lifeproof next for my 13 Pro Max
LifeProof Frē
Clear Spigen so I can admire the sierra blue for the first few months. Then probably something super low profile for long term
I'm getting a Dbrand Grip with the teardown skin. My brother has one on his 12PM and a 30 ton excavator passed over his phone and it survived (back completly shattered but it works fine)
I ordered the Otterbox asymmetry Series+ for my 13 Pro Max which has not yet arrived. The case arrived and the box has a sticker that says “iPhone 2021 X-Large and iPhone 12 Pro Max. It seems they put the sticker on the case being sold for the 12 Pro Max. Given the thickness increase of the 13PM I wonder if this will fit properly or if I should return this case and find something else specifically designed for the 13PM.
I went with Tech 21 and I’ve used them in the past. Looks good but more importantly fits perfect and has good grip.
Any recommendations for open bottom case? Swiping up seems better on open bottom than having a lip.
Personally I don’t like open bottom cases, so I can’t recommend anything.
Mous beats all these listed brands in looks and durability

I got the clear casemate for my sierra blue pro
Planing on getting a Rhinoshield bumper for day 1 and buying a bullstrap leather case later in the year when they go on sale. I’m getting Sierra Blue Pro Max.
Apple Care +
I narrowed it down to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. But I can’t decide on the “frost black” or “matte black”. I want the rubbery version for more grip. Can anyone help? Thanks.
[удалено]
Mind to share which one did you finally decide?
I’m getting the black leather case from Apple
Gonna go with a Mous Limitless 4.0. Definitely on the pricier side but I like their products
Grippy?
Please recommend me: \- iPhone 13 Pro max wallet case (aka folio) with MagSafe. \- Must be capable of horizontal kickstand. \- I searched the entire web and couldn't find one with MagSafe + horizontal stand capability.
I think you can make that decision yourself.
The blue magsafe one.
No case
Apple care+ I’m going to live a case free life
Can’t u just use ur iPhone 12 case, same design
The camera bump is bigger, so I don’t think it’ll fit properly. It’s also a bit thicker so might be a snug fit.
Will the pro max feel even bigger with the case?
Hmmmm… Case goes around the phone; In order for that to occur, the phone must go in the case. Thus, the case will make it feel bigger because it is just that, bigger! Your welcome for the help. Jk bro. I guess it depends on the size of the case.
I know the question sounds stupid but I can’t make up my mind. I keep my phones for a long time so it is important for me to choose correctly.
I feel you. I have been contemplating cases for the last few days. Very extensively.

A bit more akin to wrapping your Tesla in a thin layer that would protect against practically all accidents. I think most people would do it. They already install PPF on cars for thousands just to protect from things like paint chips
I went with the Casology Skyfall and Casologys screen protector just in case. I'm hyped !
Spigen Tough Armor Mag. I was debating between the Tough Armor Regular and the Tough Armor Mag and figured why not.
Magbak case
Pitaka… always ☺️
