Caudabe Sheath in gray for the 13 pro max just got here. I forgot how nice these cases are. Had the Ringke onyx for about a week and really like it. I likened it to the sheath based on memory but there’s a definite difference in feel. Onyx buttons are rattly and that makes me worry about scratching the phone buttons. Still both great cases.

Agree the brown patinas from years ago was 🔥 Who knows what cheap arse leather they’re using these days. 🤦‍♂️

they're definitely cutting corners with certain products. shocked when I read they didn't increase the price of the 13PM because production price increased by $20. Apple can def afford to eat that cost.

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.

it really is and i haven't been this impressed with their accessories in a while. i would love more colors in the leather cases and bands. loved the Meyer Lemon and the California Poppy from the previous years.

Agree, they did a great job this year. At first I wasn’t too captivated because last year’s colors were so bold & fresh while early photos of this year’s palette seemed rather plain to me. But seeing them irl they’re just fantastic. Yep I regretted not getting that California poppy.

is it me or is the right side of the camera cut out a bit curved 🤨

never mind you've jumped through so many hoops to get that case, don't want to cause an uproar 🙂
Looks that way from the lighting in the photo, looks fine to me. Don’t get my OCD going please. 😂

Anyone seen a decent Aluminum Bumper out there yet for an iPhone 13 Pro Max? All I am seeing are ones with attached clear back protectors. Looking for something like Draco did back in the day.

I bought it in Australia.

can't agree with you more! :)

by the way, any recommendations on a good-looking but extremely tough case? (something that can stand up to being tossed across the room by a furious girlfriend)
Look at otterbox cases, heard they’re pretty good at protecting phones.

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

I love Ringke cases and had the Onyx to tide me over when waiting for some Magsafe cases to arrive. Feels fantastic in the hand but the side screen lips are just too flush with the screen with a protector on. Top & bottom have great protection.
I previously had a drop with my 12 Pro Max and Apple leather case that impacted that edge of the screen so am only using cases that provide at least minimal lip protection.

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.

So this is your fault.

I don’t even want to discuss the number of cases I have or have on order now for my Sierra Blue PM (I think it’s somewhere around 11 ). This has got to stop! I’ll post a picture of all of them after work. I keep them separated so it doesn’t look like so many.

Along with the Benks clear case and Benks Aramid fiber case which is shipping to me later this month I also have the dBrand grip case on preorder. And I may even preorder the new clear and aramid fiber cases from Phone Rebel once they become available this month... but I'm really trying to get the willpower to avoid doing that. But they look so nice 😫.

For the iPhone 12 Pro Max I had 24 cases. This year I got the iPhone 13 Pro Max and so far I’ve only got 2 cases. The one thing I’m not doing this year is buying that many cases because now I have 24 cases I have to get rid of which cost an excess of $740. I hope I can control myself this time.

Oh that's a big pain, you could have splurged on an iPad or almost a Mac for those bucks
