I don’t see myself buying anything else in the foreseeable future. It feels better in hand than anything else I’ve tried, and it’s tough without being huge. I think the wavy grip area makes a big difference in how it handles and how it doesn’t feel like a very thick case. It’s what I wanted from Otterbox at half the price.

I may need to check it out. I think others here have sang the praises of this case as well.

Haha you posted that same time as me, guessing the sheath would be good on a mini, I found it overly heavy for my 13 max? Had the black on previous phones though.
Yeah no posts in 3 days and we both post within a minute of each other 🤨

The Sheath is fine on the mini as the mini is so light anyway.

Hi guys,

Just bought 13 Pro, and I have a question for Apple Clear Case users. Have you experienced scratches on the iPhone's metal frame caused by this case? I saw a lot of this kind of opinion and feel a little bit confused. Of course I can understand that it can happen when you don't clean the case and a lot of dust accumulates there, which can scratch the phone over time, but that would probably happen with any other case. Could you please confirm how your iPhones look like after couple of month with this case?
Thanks in advance!

Apple Clear case doesnt stick well on 13Pro. I tried 3 different ones. It cracking and phone moving inside of it. After I tested many cases I ended with Apple Leather one. I can only recommand it.

Picked up the ZAGG Gear4 Crystal Palace yesterday and I really like it. I love the grippy sides a lot and the camera ring.

Grabbed the last one w/ black ring at Best Buy yesterday. Since I'll be keeping this for another year and 13 series cases are dropping, why not. Slick looking, not slippery for me at all.

Did some YT reviews, other sites before heading there (which were generally good - including one stating and showing he had a very hard time getting the phone in the case...I think he had a defective misshaped case because I didn't have an issue)

Peak Design case and bike mount combo is amazing. Pricey but the way it attaches and removes from my bike is just awesome. Clicks on, clicks off. They have other modules for mounting elsewhere.

I don't like how clear cases make the back color look lighter than it really is
It does a little bit, I agree with this. I thought it may have been the overhead light I had on, but perhaps a mix of that and the super shiny clear back, almost mirror-like lightens the matte finish.

I still like it though, it's different for me personally. I've had the phone basically hidden behind leather cases almost 100% of the time since last Sept.

Wish I had known. I would have picked one up for that price.

Back with an Alpine Green 13 Pro Max

Fitted the Ailun screen protector and have bought the ESR Magsafe transparent case and the Shieldon tan leather wallet case



For me its about the best wallet case you can get; really well made, smells great haha and the cover really holds tight with the magnetic closure etc







The Ailun screen protectors are really case friendly too; great for the Otterbox cases as they're really tight & have a tendency to lift screen protectors

After watching the presentation of the iPhone 14 models I decided to buy an iPhone 13 mini. I need a very protective case so I bought an Otterbox Commuter. That’s actually the same case I used on my iPhone 7 for 6 years, with some improvements. It’s advertised on Amazon as fitting both the 13 mini and the 12 mini but there have been complaints about the camera cut-out. It may no longer fit the 12 mini properly but it’s fine on the 13 mini, and all the buttons work well. The color is actually grayer in person so it doesn’t look bad with the red phone.
