Went through two poor fitting MagEZ Pros and after a while of going back to Apple leather I've just ordered the Benks MagClap Hybrid Kevlar case.
Much better buttons, correct mic/speaker cutouts at the bottom, extra camera cutout protection and much better fit.

I didn't read all of this thread, but I'm wondering if the Ringke Fusion-X case is MagSafe compatible? In other words, do I have to remove the iPhone 13 6.1", that I have ordered, from the case to charge it?
 
I'm about to join the fat boy party myself :oops: The fingerprints and Magsafe ring on the Pitaka are killing me.

That's awesome. I did not think I would like the fat boy as much as I do, but it's a nice case. I will likely get something thinner and grippier but for now this will do.

So last year when I tried the Sheath on the 12 Pro, it seemed like the sides were kind of flimsy and I felt like the phone would pop out with a decent drop. Is the current one better? And is there enough of a lip with a screen protector installed?

How bad are the finger prints compared to the Pitaka ?

I’m seeing my apple wallet leaving marks on my Pitaka now , I may end up back in the apple leather or may try otterbox xt
Just wish I can find a case that fits like the speck grip 2 , such a great fit all around but finger prints on that are just as bad

Will let you know when it arrives soon. Pretty sure it'll be the same with any Kevlar & aramid fibre case.

Fingerprints were one thing that didn't bother me on the Pitaka though as they wipe off easy enough.

I‘m going to be starting a new job that’ll put me on construction sites doing electrical work. I was looking at the Sheath thinking the material is more durable than my Color Brick, but does anyone have any recommendations for something more rugged that isn’t mega fat?

Spigen Tough Armor or UAG Monarch

I say these two because they have good grip without ripping your pockets inside out

I just got the Casetify Bounce Case and it is great! The oversized corners prevent the phone from being damaged up to 13 feet. I also just purchased a Mous Evolution Case. It is a very nice rugged slim case with great grip.

Interesting. Now why can’t Mous put those sides on their other cases to give them more grip? That’s always been my biggest gripe with them (and Rhinoshield). They make really protective cases that need to be really protective because they’re so slippery.

If they put the grips on the edges of their limitless 4.0. Also they need to put silicone in the case to protect the phone like the Evolution Case.

Bounce is super pricey and didn’t hold up well in that 50 foot drop test. For $80 it should laugh at that kind of fall. Looks cool though.
