I ordered the black Apple silicone case to get me started. Once I have my 13 Pro Max in hand I will go to my local Apple Store to fondle the case offerings. All part of my ritual. I will also have the Apple folks put on a tempered glass screen protector. They have a jig that ensures the glass goes on perfectly aligned and with no air bubbles. Pretty slick piece of kit.
 
Got the Otterbox variant from the Apple store. I think it compliments the Sierra Blue well.
A couple of days from now and I'll know...

I have gotten Kate Spade for my past 3 iPhones.... I just ordered Pink edged Spigen Ultra Hybrid and screen protector - I am going to use my Cricut and design my own case

I’m sticking with this cheap bumper I purchased on Amazon when I got my 11 Prom Max.

I was a bulky case guy until I fell in love with the bumper when the iPhone 4 bumper program came out and have been #TeamBumper ever since.

I cannot tell you how many times I have dropped my 11 Pro Max, sometimes pretty violently, and this thing has stood up the whole time … kind of amazed by how I’ve not broken it to be honest.

I would go caseless if my anxiety would allow it, but this by far the closest thing I’ve come to the casesless form factor in a bumper. Plus I do a ton of filming with gimbals, mics and other attachments and the case allows most to fit without removing and doesn’t weight down my gimbal.

With the 13 Prom max only being 1/4 mm thicker I took a flyer on the 12 Pro Max version of this case, with it being a bumper and not having worrying about the camera bumper I’m pretty sure it’ll fit fine.

Thanks for posting this!! Do you have a link handy? I'm a bumper guy myself, and was looking for one on Amazon.

ETA: Just re-read and see that you got a 12PM bumper for now...that explains why I couldn't find one for the 13PM haha!!
 
Sigh, sometimes these tiny things are really stressing me out.
Looks like no go. Sorry for all the trouble to you. 😢

On the other hand, maybe this can fit the bill with the raised corner edges??

Unfortunately it has to be flat due to the work surface for my use scenario. 😢
(Plus the OCD kicking in.)
I have bad news to report back.
This one still does not lie flat! WTF!
It will wobble for sure.

My Spigen tough armour for iPhone 13 Pro (graphite) arrived this morning. Side by side with the same case for XR.

I tend to use the middle logo cut out as a “rest” so the much lower positioning on the iPhone 13 seems more comfortable.

Also a marginally smaller footprint than the XR - nice.

Remainder is the same as the XR version - same materials and design. The XR one has been in use for a little over a year. Some scratches etc but nothing catastrophic. It does hold on to sweaty palms but nothing a quick wipe doesn’t solve.
Does the 13 pro case lie flat on the back?

Yeah, it's a 12 max bumper, so were not talking a perfect fit. But the extra thickness definitely shouldn't be an issue, and I took some (rudimentary) measurements comparing the 12 PM and 13 PM and all buttons were shifted up maximum 1mm so I'm thinking it'll work just fine.
 
Is there a warranty on the apple leather cases? Like if they deteriorate within a year, would it be covered? I still find it difficult to spent $60 on a leather case that's barely leather (only the very outer thin layer). Nomad would have been cool but I am not paying shipping on a $60 case.
