Ringke Fusion-X black camo just arrived for my 13 pro max. Don’t usually go with designs but thought this would look interesting with the Sierra blue. Not bad! Really like the feel of the ridged back which also provides good grip. Sides have plenty of grip as well as contours allowing for a solid grasp. Buttons are great and it feels remarkably slim in hand, despite the chunky features. Might prefer it to the Ringke onyx. View attachment 1856541

Out of curiosity, do you have MagSafe with it?

I just returned my 13Pro for the 13Pro max today! Got a cute Kate spade case at Best Buy which was $10 cheaper than at Verizon store.

How true is this? 🤔

I have had a few, have a brown folio coming for my Mrs 12 pro max. She had same for XR and lasted well for 2.5 years. I had/have a black for 12 max, same best quality leather and lasts well.
Apparently they have fixed the buttons on this years from reading.
They are a bit taller than apples leather. lip is a touch less which I like.
You don't see the SS edge around the front.
The bottom has the weird cutouts and not that pinky friendly, although grip can be adjusted. Seems that hasn't changed.
No leather on sides which can be a advantage with wet hands or not. 23C6FB5D-11AB-4B3E-B765-77C25B3FBD7C_1_201_a.jpeg 3233E7AD-9B65-471C-B436-5CA29F7C77EC.jpeg

The green leather case feels more like plastic, instead of leather like my golden brown case. 🤔

Buttons are a bit firmer as well. 🤔

i need to hold mine again to compare. the dark cherry feels so delicate like anything can scratch it up. the leather band is resilient though. i could return all of the other cases and be content with the dark cherry until my next upgrade.

The green leather case can easily be mistaken for a black case in darker environments.

Guess that’s a good thing, just in case these leather cases don’t patina nicely like last year leather cases. 🤦‍♂️

you never know with me... but more than likely they'll remain in my possession until the iPhone 15 releases.

not a fan of patina but i do love a patina saddle brown case. probably why I won't get rid of my 8+ saddle brown case.

It’s a stunning color and pretty versatile imo, in dark lighting it has a more refined vibe and in some lighting it pops in a tasteful way. Was 50/50 between that and midnight.
