I used to love Apple's silicone cases, but had an awful time with my silicone case for the 12 Pro Max. Frequently chipped around the edges of the front, a lot of yellowing in the white, etc. That blue looks nice, though. I went for leather this year.
Same experience with me. After only a few months my silicone case for the 12 pro max looked like I let my dog chew on it.
 
Do any companies make a flexible clear or at least super slim case with magnets built in? I want a more minimal case that still has magnets built into i

I love the blue silicone case, but I don’t want to deal with buying a case that will peel within weeks. I wish they had more variety of leather cases

Super bummed that Apple didn’t do a blue leather case. Especially since they came out with a blue phone.

My go-to is always the Apple leather case. I used to have a midnight blue one that would have looked awesome on the blue 13 pro.
Deep cherry or sequoia green should go well with Sierra Blue? I ordered both.

What's the differences between this one and the Armorite? I'll probably stick with iCarez, but I've seen ESR mentioned a few times in this thread and it has me curious.

That's awfully tempting! I used to be someone who usually gets a black phone. But I want to spice it up and get the blue this time. So I want to show it off. And the charger is a really nice added bonus
 
Everyone,

Just came across a "crazy" deal on Amazon on the ESR screen protector (Armorite) that has been mentioned in this thread if you also add the ESR Cloud case (looks decent enough.. almost like a Caudabe Sheath(?)).. the cost of the two in the cart before any coupons is $34.. once you clip the coupons on each page and go to checkout the cost ends up being.. $16.43 for both. If you didn't get the case.. the cost for just the screen protectors would be about $18. So it's as if you're getting a free black case, plus $2. Not a bad little deal. Worth mentioning, you need to get the Armorite version of the ESR screen protector (2pk) versus the "Tempered-Glass" (3pk) otherwise the bundled price is actually more (even though the "Tempered-Glass" screen protector is $7 cheaper initially).

Protector: ESR Armorite Screen Protector Compatible with iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, with Easy Installation Frame, 110 lb of Force Resistance, Ultra-Tough Tempered-Glass Screen Protector, 2 Pack
Case: ESR Cloud Soft Case Compatible with iPhone 13 Pro Case (2021) (6.1 Inch), Liquid Silicone Case, Slim and Shockproof with Anti-Scratch Microfiber Lining, Black

I used to be a huge fan of iCarez, and truthfully I still am, but I started going for ESR based on recommendations from MR members and ESR’s slick tray installation kit. iCarez seems to have something similar now, so I’m sure there’s not much of a difference between the two besides iCarez having a front camera cutout in the glass screen protector (weird).
 
Got my 13 Pro Max ready for pre order and decided on a spigen case, not a fan of the apple offerings for the price, this one has MagSafe and a decent price

Do you know if there are some case without a bump for camera ? So it will really be flat ?
For old iPhone 12 owner, is it annoying if there still have a bump ?

Still wondering what to get...
A transparent case so could see the color of iPhone or silicon one ? Apple one, or another one ?
 
Speck nerd here.

New inverted Grip Presidio 2 with MagSafe.

25% off if you click in with a new browser and give a fake email. Other items available but this is the one that I got for $41


Same here for both of us for the Pro and Pro Max. We as well got the 25%.

We used the Presidio Grip for the last 3 or 4 generations of phones. Now with MagSafe it should even be better.

For the Pro Max the blue is not yet available and I went for the black.
 
Ordered the Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit tempered glass protector for the iPhone 13PM. Debating on what Apple Leather case to go with. It’s either the Sequoia Green or Black. I’m kinda bummed that the brown leather case is more yellow than brown.
 
package arrived

Looks good, I'm taking delivery of a Sequoia Green leathar case today and I'm contemplating ordering the Midnight case as well.

How dark is the black color in real life? It almost seems grayish in your picture but that might be the cameras fault.
 
I preordered a Shellrus Screen Protector. I used this on my iPhone 12 Pro for almost a Year and was never that happy with a Screen Protector.

I also preordered the Nomad Modern Leather Folio and a Fitbag Sleeve. I normally use my Phone caseless for regular Days with the Sleeve. For Trips or Vacation I use the Leather Folio.
Also ordered a shellrus! Oleophobic coating isn’t as good as imos gaming glass but man I haven’t had one scratch on my shellrus in 7 months. if anyone else is planning on getting one use code MREH10 for 10% off
