Ended up with Spigen Screen protectors which I’ve used for years and are great.
An caseology case and the Apple Golden Brown for my Pro Max.

Between the otterbox or pomelo pink, and definitely the rhino bumper to match my watch’s loud and proud case and band. Silver PM and ESR screen protector because I destroy things.
 
Does a case have to have MagSafe in it to make MagSafe work? i.e would a thin case with out it still work? I don't want to choose a case and then find out the any MagSafe devices I order do not work
 
Casekoo 13 Pro clear case on the left. Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagSafe case on the right. The Spigen also comes available with black magnets instead of white.

They’re photographed against snow white styrofoam in overcast daylight. I notice my skin looks dark grey-brown instead of my normal tan-brown and the styrofoam looks a bit grey, so take that into account about the colors of the cases. But hopefully you can still see the effect of any tint on the clear cases on the phone color, by comparing to the uncovered styrofoam. In person, I do note a very slight golden hue to the Spigen and a slight milky hue to the Casekoo

The Casekoo I’ve used on my 12 Pro Max the last several months has yellowed only very slightly. I’ve can’t speak about Spigen, because I haven’t owned one of their clear cases in years.

I didn’t remove any clear protective films, but from what I could see, they didn’t appreciably affect the tint of the cases.

Casekoo case has a hole for a lanyard at the bottom. Inspected and approved by Tabby. It’s kind of weird how the case looks tiny and my hand and the cat’s paw look huge. But despite appearances, it is a 13 Pro case, not a 13 mini case. Photos were taken on my mini 12.

I love the cat checking things out!! 😂
 
Loving these two colors(Dark Cherry/Wisteria). I think I will get a dark cherry band for my watch now, just not sure which kind.

Some various lighting shots:

All of my Otterboxes have failed! The Commuters rip the lower port protectors and the Defenders wick in sweat. Takes about a year. Drives me crazy, don't think I'll order another one of their 2 part cases again :( 10 years I've dealt with that.
I’m never going Otterbox again. Their case fell apart on my XR after about a year - it was two piece and the seems gave up. The screen protector wasn’t great.

I stupidly picked up their iPad Air 4 case for €70 and it is trash. The magnets suck and the iPad falls 8 out of 10 times. I’ve ordered a €20 ESR one due next week instead.
 
my 13p wisteria case will be here tuesday and i'm so excited to see it in person.
i got it for sierra blue, and i know its kind of a weird combo, but i know the purple case will darken over time
I have my purple 12 mini in a blue silicone case sometimes and I think it looks pretty cool. I do wish this wisteria case was available for my purple iPhone mini. I had to buy their pop socket otterbox silicone case to get a good match to my purple mini. I just don’t understand Apple sometimes. They’ll make a case that would perfectly match the phone you have, except it’s for a different iPhone that doesn’t even come in that color at all! I kept waiting for them to make this color for the purple mini but they never did.
 
Love it! Whenever my cats hear me russling around with something they have to come check it out.
I don’t have anything to contribute to the tech stuff here but I have to comment on the kitty!! I LOVE the kitty!!

I have seven of them myself and anytime I bring home anything they do a full investigation! And sit in whatever they can (“if I fits, I sits”)

Geez! I have to say their tech support is fantastic, but the fact that it's a yearly process is awful. I got a new case this summer (again) for my 2016 SE. . And they are not cheap cases.
