Ok, so true confession- found the black OtterBox Defender Pro XT on sale at Walmart. Surprised at how solid it feels. I’ll try the MagSafe magnets tomorrow, but the case is thin, sides have good grip and seems like it will take falls well
It will take falls GREAT! Just watch for when the seals fail between the two sections in a year.

Anyone who went with a Nomad leather case either Natural or Rustic Brown? What is your experience with patina?
So far so good. The case is starting to darken on the sides I touch the case the most. So far I’ve been using the natural Nomad on my 12 for a little over a week.

I gotta sift through this thread, but I was wondering if anyone can chime in on their experience with Carved Live Edge cases. I posted here, but haven't gotten any responses yet. TIA
 
I love this little case I got on Amazon! Hubby bought me some bling with the new starlight solo loop. LOVE it!

I have some great stuff for my 12 pro max. This case really surprised me on how much I love it!

Just got my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Haven't had time to explored the features. I'm not in love with any of the Apple cases, so SO FAR I'm going with the Ringke clear case, so at least I can see the beauty of Sierra Blue.

It really is a chameleon color. Sometimes grey, sometimes light blue, sometimes ...faint gold.....

I'm so glad I went for it.

does anyone have both the abyss blue and blue jay silicon case? i need to see them side by side, especially on the blue 13/13 mini.
 
Initially purchased the Apple clear magsafe for the 13 Mini; that case is a fingerprint magnet!

That was to tide me over until the magsafe case from Casetify came in; took about a month to arrive.

To those that have a Caudabe Sheath, does it have the full magnet array….circle with the vertical magnet below the circle or does it just have the circle. In other words, would it work with the Apple Magsafe Wallet, etc and not spin around? Thanks in advance.

No pic but I did have the abyss and now have the blue jay with my 13pm sierra. Personally the lighter color is much nicer than the abyss. For the 13mini it would be the same contrast wise. If you want it to blend get the abyss and if you want it to have contrast get the blue jay.

i want it to blend, for sure.

From what I can see there is no alignment magnet but it could be in there just not shown by the design inside the case. As for working with wallets this is in the top 3 when it comes to magnet strength. I use it with a popsocket wallet+ everyday and its such a good combination.

FYI the Magsafe caudabe Sheath for 13pm fits perfectly well on the 12pm. I like it better than the 12 version, more camera protection and it seems more substantial than the 12.
This is good news, I just asked Caudabe support yesterday and they said the 13 PM won’t fit the 12 PM; I had already ordered it and it arrives Friday. I’m relieved to hear it will fit. Thank you!!

Ordered new Nomad Leather Folio in Rustic Brown for 13 Pro Max, just received. I used the same case on my XS Max and it has worn great.

And a really remarkable thing about my Nomad order is this - I ordered it this past Sunday, and it arrived yesterday (Wednesday). FROM HONG KONG!! Incredible.

How are the buttons? any problem with phone edges showing in places around the edge? (has been on the normal case)

For your viewing, here is a XR nomad folio after 2.5 years next to a 12 max one a month old, my wife loves them and won't use anything else, been thinking about a black for myself for my 13 max.

where did you order the edge ones, they are only showing those with the rubber edges, if it wasn't for that I would get one
You have to click the left top under the options but here ya go!

Everything fits well, buttons work fine. Keep in mind we've only had it for a day, but it's just like the case I've used previously on my XS Max, and I was always very happy with it.

Has anyone used the Speck Presidio Sport (no longer available) and the Presidio2 Grip? Is the Grip as grippy as the Sport was? Thanks!
