I just got lollipop case from Benks today. I ordered it on Oct 1 and received it today on 13. This is ultra thin case and it covers camera area. Feels good in hand but it’s a little bit slippery if your hand is dry.
I think the Spigen Thin Fit is the winner for me this year. The case is like a "greatest hits" from some of my favorite cases:
- It has the same grip and smooth, silky feel of the Apple silicone.
- It's thin and lightweight like the Apple leather.
- It has the same responsive and tactile buttons like the Apple leather.
- It hugs the phone and feels secure like the Caudabe Sheath.
It even has a soft material around the charger opening, so it definitely passes the pinky test. The TORRAS Slim Fit has to really wow me for it to take the Spigen Thin Fit's spot. I'm also tempted to check on the Apple silicone. I usually only get black or dark colored cases, but (even though it's been almost two weeks since I saw it) I still can't get over how beautiful the clover color looked in the picture @bindle shared: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-13-mini-pro-max-merged.2309488/post-30378855

I have this case, the Crave Slim Guard: https://www.amazon.com/Crave-Guard-iPhone-Shockproof-Apple/dp/B09CLL3H3W?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1
Amazon's stock photo:
It's fine, it fits tight and feels protective. All the buttons work well. It's not that grippy but enough. Whaddaya want for $13? My wife and I both ordered cheap cases to start with and get used to the phones for a while.
In the past I've splurged on Vaja leather cases but they are so expensive I'm not sure I can justify it, but at the same time wrapping these beautiful phones in a chunk of plastic feels so wrong.
We are using the ESR Armorite glass screen protectors and so far very pleased with both the install and results of those screen protectors. I install them in a steamy bathroom with the hot shower running to settle all dust. Condensation got under my wife's but by morning it was perfect. It adds a bit of glare but fingerprints and smudges seem minimal and easily wiped off. I love that Apple is using a flat screen again.

Got one of a few cases I've ordered to try out. Smartish GripMunk Clear MagSafe for 13 Mini. Very good sturdy grip (I would hope so), buttons feel nice and feels good in the hand. Magsafe magnet very strong. Only con: Maybe the weight, compared to a Apple silicone? Definitely would provide more protection and for the price this is probably gonna be my clear case keeper.

Are the cutouts a bit off?Here it is! Nomad Sport Case in Lunar Grey.
Initial thoughts:
-Buttons are metal and are just as good as the official Apple Leather case buttons.
-noticeably thinner than the new Nomad Modern Leather case.
-cutouts on bottom are much more smooth than the Modern Leather (doesn’t dig into pinky when holding)
-front screen lip isn’t as pronounced as the Nomad Modern Leather case.
-back of case is glossy, but grippy when holding the phone. They claim there is a heavy duty scratch resistant coating on the back, but I’m sure this will still show scuffs.
-overall fit is tight and precise, as I would expect from Nomad.
Feel free to ask any questions about this case and I’ll try to respond as quick as I can!
I think the reason the Ringke Fusion magsafe cases aren't in stock is because the adhesive they used for the magnets is very weak. My magnets came off and stuck to the phone after using it for only a few hours. I got a refund but they let me keep the case so I just super glued them back in.
Does anyone have the Bare Armour case for the 13 Pro Max? It looks super sexy, but wanted to see some review from people who might have it.
Well, it’s pretty “boring” I suppose, but I went for the midnight leather case and wallet for my 13PM. I avoided the MagSafe wallet last year, but now with find my support, it seems useful.
Still wondering if I should have went Dark Cherry… No where local to me to check it out.

I’m having a hard time figuring out what colour it actually is, just based off pictures.
In some it seems like a dark purple, in others more of a burgundy, etc.
I guess I could just return it if I dislike it, but I don’t wanna go through the hassle. Living in the middle of nowhere in Canada sucks, haha.
I know there were some skeptics for Clover with the blue but honestly I think it's a great combo..
It’s a dark plum. I fell like it’s the leather case version of the plum silicone case that was released last year.
Have 2 cases coming in today. One just arrived
gear4 Brooklyn Snap & Lifeproof See which should be hear momentarily.
the Brooklyn Snap is a very nice case, only draw back is the MagSafe magnets are visibly raised on the back. So that’s a no go

Did the 12 series Caudabe have slits behind the buttons? I haven't had this case since the 11 but don't recall it ever being opened there. Needless to say, great looking case though!
No but some did their own as buttons were too stiff, guess caudabe took notice.
Sadly neither case is a keeper. The see uses really flimsy tpu. Definitely a no go.
I really like the color of the clover. I've been tempted by it. I have an AW7 in green/clover coming for my wife tomorrow. I should have got her the 45mm so I could steal the band if she didn't like it 🤣
I think this, abyss blue, and chalk pink are really nice colors.
