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

I went with a Caudabe sheath in black. I've used them for the past two phones (iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone XR) and couldn't be happier each time.

I used to buy a few cases and interchange in hopes to find that perfect case (eg. Speck, apple OEM, Spigen, tech21, etc) but once I tried Caudabe Sheath that was the exact type of case I was looking for: minimalistic, good protection, slim.

I did buy the Apple Leather case in Sequoia Green. The color combo looks good with last year's Saddle Brown leather wallet (my wife's wallet that I'm going to use because she doesn't like the wallet). But, I'm actually going to return the leather wallet when I pick up the phone on launch day. Only apple leather case that I owned was for the iPhone X. That developed patina beautiful, but I'd say it was a little slippier than I really liked. The iPhone 13 leather case has a different feel than the X leather case and from what I've read and seen also on YouTube, the patina is going to wear in a weird way.

Can anyone share their experience with PhoneRebel’s full coverage Gen-2 case?

I had the 11Pro Rebel case with exposed sides. Looking to pick up the full coverage case for IP13 Pro Max when it’s available.

In the pictures it shows the MagSafe circle on the back- that cannot be correct, can it? It Hass to just be to show that it’s MagSafe compatible, right? Otherwise it looks so ridiculous in my opinion

Nah the ring on the back is part of the case, like the clear case "look at me and my magsafe ring".

I personally don't mind it and it gives it a bit of contrast and unique look. Better than a generic TPU back like all the million cases you get from Amazon.

I'm still waiting for some real life pics or YouTube review but it seems everyone is getting it on 24 Sept earliest? Mine doesn't come til 1 Oct 😒
 
I know this is a case thread, but I saw a few people mention screen protectors, so I figure I'd ask my question here:
Last year, both ESR and Spigen offered full coverage screen protectors. (Click here for an example.) However, this year, both companies only offer screen protectors that a small cut out at the top. (Click here for an example.) Is this intentional? Or am I just not looking hard enough? Maybe they'll release the full coverage one later.

The cutout is for the speaker. It was moved up into bezel area this year to accommodate the smaller notch. The cover is still full screen. I already have the ESR one waiting.

Otterbox Aneu Series cases are available for storefront pickup today.

Picking one up this arvo and cancelling my online order.

Crazy how the estimated delivery times for the light blue is now end of October. Can't be that popular?

Ditching the Apple cases after dropping my phone and getting an impact on the side of the screen. Thankfully the screen protector did it's job and was destroyed. After that I favour more protective cases.

I have a Benks MagSafe compatible one on the way but have ordered a cheap Ringke Onyx rugged case to tide me over when the phone comes. Also like the look of the Spigen Neo Hybrid MagSafe Compatible coming soon.
The Benks Magnetic Mist:

I like the bumps on the Ringke that will make the phone sit flat on a surface.
 
Otterbox Aneu Series - Light blue

The ring on the back is just the design of the case. There’s a magnetic strip inside like previous versions.

Not sure if the bottom sags like others have mentioned. It’s certainly not as stiff as the apple silicone. Will test it out when the new phone comes on Friday.

Feels nice in the hands and does not attract dust.

What colour iPhone did you get? If Sierra blue please post pics with blue jay as I’m thinking about that one too.

Dark cherry is nice! Can see it darkening and getting a very nice character.

Blue Jay here too! It’s my favorite as well - I’m thinking about the Clover next but we’ll see. What phone are you going with? Getting the 13 mini in blue so I think the Blue Jay will look amazing with it.

My purple and green feels smoother than last year. It also smells like leather. Hopefully they’re not like last years. My saddle brown looks hideous now.
