Re-purchased my gear4 Denali snap on a whim. The only thing I don’t like is that it comes in two pieces, but once it’s on it’s very solid. Also, the magsafe magnets are strong, which I need
You still using this ? Any pics ? How’s the grip ?

The piece of plastic junk feels exactly the same as my Nudient case, which was 3.5x the price. Actually feels better in hand, as the Nudient case has holes cut out for the buttons.

What case do you use?
Yeah, what case does he/she use?

Very passionate and opinionated about someone’s choice of case when it really is none of their business.

No doubt they have a Otterbox or such like that triple the size of the phone

Happily using the smartish a week later. I normally change cases every few days.

Think when I upgrade later this year I’m just gonna order the smartish and have done with it (hahaha famous last words) as it’s literally perfect for me. I’ve not found anything I dislike about it.

The apple silicone case is tempting but I can’t bring myself to spend £50 on a case.

Gripzilla or Gripmunk?
All things considered, the Gripzilla is a heckuva case!

Got to say PhoneRebel Gen 3 aramid fibre is best all round case this year. Perfect fit, super strong MagSafe, metal buttons and 50ft drop protection in a fairly slim profile. Very well designed and good price. Shame it was so late to market.

Totally agree. I would only buy this case- but as you said, it’s always so late to the game.

Does everyone on here prefer the apple silicone over the leather ? Blue jay is looking real good to add to the collection lol. The more I’m on here the more cases I buy 😫

Thinking about picking up the Pitaka Magez 2, trying to be more minimal. can someone that has it confirm if the MagSafe charger leaves a permanent mark on the back ? Also does it hold up well for long term use .
Thanks
It leaves a mark, but I’ve been able to wipe it away without a problem.

Sorry if this has been asked many times before, but did they improve the quality of the Silicone Cases since two years ago? I last had an 11 Pro and steered clear of the Silicone Cases, as I had two of them and within weeks the colour on the edges and front lip would start peeling away and it would attract permanent grime - I found it gross.

For the 13 Pro, I currently have two Silicone Cases, Blue Jay and Abyss Blue, and although the the colour peeling issue is still there - its only on the back corners of the case, aka, where I will hardly see it, so I don’t care. Looking at the phone from the front, I don’t see any wear and tear (colour peeling off), and using alcohol wipes on the case makes it look as good as new (didn’t work on the 11 Pro’s cases) - so this is an improvement? I also notice less lint at the top of the case too.

Anyways. Last pic of Blue Jay, 100% recommend for anyone on the fence about it - it is a truly stunning blue tbh and really compliments the icy tone of Sierra Blue. It can be dark and mellow in the right settings but in sunlight its nice and vibrant, like a spring colour. While I’m overall not too pleased with the selection of Leather Cases for iPhone 13 Pro, in particular for Sierra Blue, they have on the other hand come out with some really good colours for the Silicone Case, I have a couple more on my to buy list!

Still on the fence with ordering the Pitaka magez 2. Really want to add a minimalistic type of case to my collection but I’m not sure how well it holds up over time. Does the back coating wear out etc? Or should I stick with apples silicone for the minimal look ?

Yep it's my favorite blue. I had one for my 13 mini but not for my 13 yet. Trying to see if I can catch one on sale at Amazon or eBay etc.

Andar Marshal arrived today; another leather beauty sitting next to the Bourbon Bullstrap case.

These cases are identical outside of the branding. They have to use the same production facility and that’s not a bad thing. Both have the best buttons going on any case.

Staaaaaahhhp. I already have a $50+ leather case on the way but I love how that looks with the neon wallpaper, which is what I’ve used since I got my 13 Pro.
