Which Case Did You Get For Your New iPhone 13/Mini/Pro/Max? [Merged]

[Hooterville]

Case arrived! Pics. It’s a keeper for me I think.

Confetti theme is creative and really fun, feels good, compliments the Sierra Blue very well. It’s translucent, not clear, but you still see the colour pop through nicely. It’s also fully MagSafe compatible.

Overall, reminds me of a birthday cake which I actually love

@TechnicallyTee - can you do a review on the Torras Love Series for the 13?

 

[VaderRulez]

@Hooterville Have you pulled the trigger on anything?

 

[VaderRulez]

Carved!! Still love mine. No matter what I try (even expensive bullstrap) I end back up in carved ?

Thinking about it.

 

[Brooke795]

Thinking about it.

Lemme know if you do!

@Hooterville Have you pulled the trigger on anything?

Ordered a Mous bamboo about 10 days ago and it's still not here. This will be the last time I order anything from Mous direct with their cheap @ss "Free" UPS mail innovations shipping

The only other thing I want is the Pitaka MagEZ case pro but it's never available.

Will do!

Just got the Spigen Slim Armor and it’s such a good case. Snug fit, great buttons, MagSafe but the bad thing is it isn’t on Amazon. You have to go direct through Spigen or Verizon stores. Working on getting a discount code through Spigen direct because that thing is $55.

 

[TechnicallyTee]

O yeah, I’m back on the Mous Limitless from the Phone Rebel Gen 3.

Wow, $55.00 Spigen case

Have any on you used the otterbox Aneu ? I seen Tee’s review but I’m wondering if any used it long term? I want to find a case similar but with sturdy sides near the buttons and near the lightning port..

I have one for my 12 PM, fit is great, decent grip but I just have gotten a bad power button. It’s like mush, while the volume up and downs work great with a decent click.

Man I’m glad I can stick with the one case (2 at most), but I appreciate everyone’s views here - it’s a good thread for photos & opinions (despite the flip-floppers! ?) of heaps of iPhone cases. Good resource.

Lemme know if you do!

? Someone’s got Carved shares.

The official plastic transparent apple one and I have to say it gets very hot with the mag safe charger !

 

[chillip]

Anyone got sheath Navy case. The fit on my 13pro is useless. Other colours are fine. Caudabe disagree.

I'm done with the LifeProof Fre on my iPhone 13 Pro. It's a decent case, but Face ID was failing nearly 50% of the time with the case on. I've read this is due to oils on the built in screen protector near the Face ID components. I wiped it off with my shirt and it still had the issue. Back in the Phone Rebel Gen 3 for now.

I quit buying the Fre case a couple of years ago and have stuck to my guns. I'm always interested in the Fre but will never buy another one as long as I live

Just got the Vibe. I do like it, even without orange buttons . Not sure if I like it more than the Limitless (walnut version) or not. I have a 13 mini, so the slick Mous case isn’t as bad on a small phone. The Vibe, with it’s better grip, is definitely going to be less prone to drops, however.

Now to decide if I should keep both or just one of em…decisions, decisions.

EDIT: Magnets on the Catalyst are way too weak. I feel like the MagSafe wallet will fall off and that the case wouldn’t stay attached to my car mount.

This may be a problem exclusive to the Vibe for the mini, given that the mini width is about the same as the MagSafe accessories

I want to follow up on my old post. On a hunch, bought a Vibe for my wife's 13 Pro, and sure enough, the magnets are just fine. I think the lip around the back edge of the case on the 13 mini version causes magsafe accessories to rest "above" the magnets rather than against them. The 13 Pro version is great!

I'm now in the same boat. I won't buy another one in the future.

I just picked up the Apple silicone case on sale and I have to say I really enjoy how far off the screen the front lip is.

I measured my Spigen Ultra Hybrid Matte case (my favorite so far) and the lip comes to about 2mm of the actual screen. The Apple case gives another 1-2mm of display real estate so that edge swipes are much better.

The million-dollar question, did you get any orange buttons to go with it

So I received the Otterbox Core Series just now, one white and one black.

It has a nice soft texture and you can feel the specks that make up the case, only barely.
It‘s not as gummy as the official silicone case and definitely not sticky.

Buttons are tactile and clicky.

The camera protection is even on all sides and is much more raised than the Apple cases.

The front lip wraps around the front of the phone a lot more and you can’t see the stainless steel band at all. There are now no gaps between the case and my screen protector and swiping back and forth feels smoother.

It is slightly thicker and wider than the Apple leather case, but not by too much.

I’m definitely keeping these!

Black with graphite iPhone 13 PM and white with Sierra Blue iPhone 13 PM.

Woah, that dark one is nice.

I think these are the spiritual successor to the Traction series released in the XS iPhone era. Paint splatter style looks good!

but Face ID was failing nearly 50% of the time with the case on. I've read this is due to oils on the built in screen protector near the Face ID components.

I don’t trust any screen protector that covers the camera. Good thing I don’t use screen protectors anymore ?

but will never buy another one as long as I live

?

Bit of warning before shocking news like that next time please! ?

 

[chillip]

Well I’m done with cases now for 13 pro.

Top 3 cases:

1. Caudabe Sheath
2. Speck Grip
3. PhoneRebel Gen 3

“As a response to the community’s concerns on the detachable volume buttons, Phone Rebel has implemented a new, more durable buckle button design for their cases, currently in CNC production. They’re listening!”
