Nah I bought them from Syntricate. JB also sells them but their website says awaiting stock.
Grabbed the ESR ‘halo lock’ clear case. Really like it. Fit is great. Buttons are responsive.
magnets are strong (not tried any official apple ones so can’t compare) for £10 I have zero complaints.
I don’t know if I should wait till caudabe have the sheath in some nicer colours, or grab an otter box aneu as I love the light blue and the MagSafe ring colour.
I just worry about the aneu adding too much bulk or having issues with the Amorite screen protector (if anyone needs a screen protector I can’t recommend amorite enough). But I’m also impatient and it could be months before caudabe release lighter blue colours.

I’ve used their products for the last 2 years. My older 11 Pro case and new 13 Pro case (going back tho as I ordered the blue Pitaka case I attached in the above “marketing” post instead). If you think I’m marketing for them, well looking at how well the 11 Pro case wore over 2 years, I’m a big fan.

I picked up this Otterbox Figura case yesterday while at the Apple store. Looks nice with the Sierra Blue 13PM.
And useless for protection, looks terrible and jaggy/spikey in pockets. Yuck!
But everyones tastes are different, heyho, all should buy what they like 👍
Agree. I returned my Abyss Blue to get this. Very attractive pairing.
Looking for something rugged that will complement the midnight blue, dh just got this mini and needs something super protective for job sites. Such a shame to cover up this gorgeous blue 
Any suggestions would be great!
Got this simple one for now until we find a more permanent option and its nice and grippy, fits well, but just feels sort of blah as most rugged ones do.
Then saw this, looks a little less bulky and has a clear back (yay) but no grip and smooth sides (boo)
The hunt continues.

Got two leathers, the Midnight and Golden Brown. I hated the Golden Brown online until I saw it in the Apple Store yesterday. It gave the autumn vibes we’re having here in the Pacific Northwest.
Honestly, it depends on what you are looking for. Casetify cases are nice but I do hate that they put their logo on the camera bump. Also if you get the clear cases just know the TPU sides will yellow after a few months. Mous and dbrand cases are quite similar IMO. dbrand is more grippy but the build is not A+ like Mous (you can youtube and see videos of the sides of dbrand grip cases tearing). I find Mous cases to be good but overpriced. So try and look for a discount code. Anyway between those 3 I would recommend the Mous if you're going for the Limitless 4.0.
I finally found a minimalist and thin clear case with MagSafe charging (iPhone 13 Pro). Just ordered yesterday and should arrive by end of week.

So I have finally moved from iPhone X to iPhone 13 Pro. Had midnight blue leather on my iPhone X which aged very well although it was very slippery at the beginning especially.
Happy to report that current midnight leather is nothing like the slippery one on the X. It’s non slippery at all and have fantastic grip. I am positively surprised and can definitely live with the fact it’s not ultra black. Great leather case.

Never used a 'decent' screen protector. I've only ever used the cheap plastic ones or for most of the time, nothing. Due to reviews on here, I picked up these, and the first one installed perfectly! Highly recommend and way better than the old plastic ones I used to use 😄 Matching this with the Wisteria Apple leather case - went all in this year 🥰

Found out last night that the Spigen ultra hybrid without the MagSafe magnet won’t let my phone charge. I had the same case on my 12 pro and it did charge, so I thought I’d be right. Not to worry, using a cable again isn’t a huge inconvenience. I should have my midnight leather within the next week too, which will be going on the phone.
Edit: meant to add that the puck will find the magnet in the phone and position itself. I guess the back of the case is just too thick to allow charging.

I have the same color phone and love it! I was expecting a pure black when I picked the midnight color but am soooo happy with that dark navy tint in sunlightLooking for something rugged that will complement the midnight blue, dh just got this mini and needs something super protective for job sites.

I tried the UAG Metropolis LT again this year because it has MagSafe and Verizon sent me a $30 off regular price case that made the $60 case $30.
Even at $30 this thing is a piece of crap. I can’t even keep it. The sides are like a jelly case with the least firm TPU ever. If you were to ever drop it, the phone would pop out of the case for sure. The corners pop off with your pinky.
So total garbage

This is the only style case I’d consider - frameless, so a secure grip’s maintained, buttons aren’t covered, edges of the phone can still be seen & a front/rear lay on table design is possible.

That’s an Everything Apple Pro case, isn’t it?
Guessing that’s a sierra blue iPhone?
If anyone has the apple golden brown leather case and sierra blue iPhone, could you post some pics please, no walk ins allowed at my apple store, thinking about purchasing this case, Thank you.
