The chap in the apple store yesterday was super helpful. Brought three cases over for me to try (dark cherry, sequoia green and midnight)
He had to bring them to you? I was surprised my Apple store had an array of all the cases on the wall, and I was able to take several down and try them on. No one asked me what I was doing or if I needed help or anything. First time I ever bought a case at an Apple store, and I appreciated the convenience. Still, it seems like it would have been easy to walk out with one.

Haha no he didn’t have to but I said I wasn’t 100% sure what leather case I wanted so he asked me to choose a few and we took them to a table to try on my phone and decide. The common consensus of staff and customers round the table was dark cherry (with my pacific blue wallet) and I agreed so went with 😂

every year I buy loads of cases and after 6 months i always settle on the caudabe sheath. So this time around, will only be buying the sheath to begin with :)
I usually buy a plain white Apple silicone case to begin with and then buy a bunch of others. However, 95% of the time, I use the silicone case. Last year I only bought 2 others - Caudabe MagSafe Sheath which my husband is using and the Bullstrap sienna which is collecting dust.

I love the fit and especially the feel of the silicone case and how it works perfectly with my MagSafe car holder/charger. I like the feel of it even better as it wears

Agreed! Although the silicone cases this year feel great from the box

I liked all the Dark Cherry, Sequoia Green, and Wisteria with my Sierra Blue 13 Pro very much. I wasn't going to buy them all, so I went with the Midnight. My streak of only black cases remains intact.

Hi Dukat! I have both the Mous Limitless 4 and the Pitaka New MagEZ Case Pro for the 13 Pro Max and I featured both cases in a review I published a few days ago. They are both really nice cases--I think the Mous Aramid Fibre Limitless 4.0 is a tougher case and is going to provide better overall protection, but the Pitaka New MagEZ Case Pro is an absolute pleasure to have on your phone. Love, love, love it!

Thanks for the video!

Do you think the Pitake MagEZ Pro is more protective than the Apple Silicon case?

Thanks again.

I went for product red. I use MagSafe (after my kids bought me the MagSafe disc) and I have the wallet. So it sort of tied me into having to have a MagSafe compatible case.

I'm trying to pick a leather/magsafe case any recommendations on the following? (13 Pro Sierra Blue)
1. Nomad Case (leather)
2. Apple Leather case
3. Moment case (leather)

But anything I may have missed?

It’s attractive, classy and worry free of stains and wear.

I’m a bit concerned about the golden brown leather. I put my phone in my back jeans pocket a couple times yesterday while shopping and noticed blue marks around the back edges of my phone. I’ve done that for years with my phone and don’t recall this happening before. They aren’t new jeans either. Thankfully it came off with a little water but it’s concerning nonetheless.

Went with white silver iPhone for first time ever. Deciding on a case color was a bit hard because my go to has always been black leather. I usually get tired of colors, but wasn’t liking the black case and white cutout. Pink pamelo just stood out, and I’m liking it a lot. . Also, didn’t like the black wallet with either pink case or white phone, so got the golden brown wallet. Looks better IMO.

I looked around and went for the apple leather. Always served me well and fit is good plus I like the leather case with my leather wallet. Dark cherry or sequoia green look amazing btw.

Bullstrap and Decoded are also popular choices with excellent quality. Bullstrap has the open bottom like pre-iPhone 12 Apple cases and Decoded is about as close to Apple quality/fit as you’re going to get.

Having experimented with most options, I still always end up with Apple leather.

I've been using the Benks clear case for my iPhone 13 Pro Max and it's the best clear case I ever used. Much better than the official Apple clear case. The metal buttons fix the issue clear cases have where the buttons are hard to click. And I don't know how they did it but it doesn't feel slippery. It actually feels better to hold than my Midnight Apple leather case. The only thing I dislike is the watermark effect the case leaves on the back.
I had ordered the ESR 13 Pro Max Hybrid Halolock clear case but was sent the 12 Pro Max version by mistake. It was probably a blessing in disguise as the buttons on the 12 Pro Max case were quite stiff. As the 13 Pro Max version isn’t available until the 8th and I needed a case ASAP I ordered the Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagSafe clear case for two day delivery and got it on Tuesday.

I’m really glad I did as the magnets are much stronger and the buttons are not stiff like on the ESR cases. The phone attaches to my Belkin 3 In 1 Wireless MagSafe charger much better and the buttons are much easier to push. 😃👍

Not all of their accessories are on Amazon. It's cheaper to just buy it directly from them.


Use code Benks40 and you'll save 40% on everything in your cart. They use yunexpress so from China to New York was only 9 days. Which is the fastest I ever received something from China. They were also nice enough to ship out the clear case even though I ordered it along with the Aramid fiber case which is still on backorder until the middle of October.

With all this praise I'm giving them it probably sounds like I'm sponsored by them. 🤣
Thanks I just ordered the Benks clear MagSafe case and will see how it compares to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagSafe clear case. I used the code too to get 40% off and with shipping it cost me about £11.80. 😃👍

Graphite Pro coming Tuesday (hopefully). Think I have settled on the leather green case but if anyone has any other suggestions on good combos please let me know!
