iPhone 13 Pro Max Apple Clear case for 13 Series: Side buttons still stiff?

[BreakingKayfabe]

In my experience last year the Apple clear case had the stiffest buttons for the volume and power.

Any feedback on the 13 cases?

I was just in the apple store. It’s improved but not like the silicone or leather cases.

You were able to try it right on a phone?

I had the Apple clear case on my 11 (non pro) and just got the 13 mini and added the Apple clear case for it too. All buttons seem very responsive to me. They don’t feel stiff at all on these two

Much better, compared directly to the same case I had on my 12 Pro Max. The power button was ridiculously stiff… much more usable one-handed for the 13 Pro Max.

Yes.

Anyone have any tips about loosening the buttons up a bit? Do they loosen in time? Just got one for my 15 Pro Max and buttons are incredible stiff and hard to press.

How did you go for you? I just put on mine and it's ridiculously stiff to press on.

Doesn't seem anyone has any tips on loosening the buttons?

Return it and get an Otterbox Symmetry. Great protection and the buttons are super easy to push. It comes in a clear version too.

My 15 Pro Max clear case from Apple also has stiff buttons. My MagSafe pop socket sometimes slides off when I try to push the volume rocker. Getting a silicone case from Apple.

I already returned it and have decided to go caseless this year.
