I also have the totallee soft clear case and it's thin but not thin compared to other clear cases. I agree that the Magsafe wallet and battery doesn't have a strong enough grip with the thickness of the clear case and it's sorta slippery to hold both on the back and sides of the case.

I ended up ordering Peel (Hard) clear case that I just received today. It's probably one of the thinnest clear cases on the market right now and it's a glove fit on the 13 Pro. I tried the magsafe wallet and it has better grip and connection on the back but can move with alittle bit more force. (See link for video review)

If you really want a magsafe compatible thin clear case, you're gonna have to have some sort of "thickness" for the clear case since the case needs the space to embed the magnets. I have the Benks MagSafe Clear case (TPU sides and hard plastic on back) on order and waiting for it to deliver to see how "thick" the clear case is but I really just want it for the minimalist case and the magsafe compatibility. (Link to case) (Video review of case)
I received the Peel hard clear case today. It is awesome! Fits like a glove. Decent grip. I like that it is slimmer than the Power Support Air Jacket. It is not as crystal clear, but close enough. Curious how the case will hold up in the long run…

I just received my Rhinoshield CrashGuard NX and MobileReviewsEh was not kidding when he said "it handles like a wet bar of soap.". I thought the official Apple clear case for my iPhone 12 was slippery but this takes the cake. I only purchased it because I purchased the dbrand teardown skin and wanted to showcase it while still having protection but I may just have to go back to my Benks clear case if I can't handle the slipperiness. On a positive note, the buttons are nice and clicky but I'm not a fan of how recessed the volume buttons are.

These case makers just don't give a toss imo, 99.9% of people just buy one case and take it for what it is, flaws and all.
So they get away with it, rinse and repeat.

Same story over and over with Rhinoshield. You’d think at some point they’d actually add some ridges down the sides or maybe some grippier material, but nope. Every year it’s the same thing.

At this point, I’m convinced they make their cases and bumpers so protective of the phone because they know they’re like a wet bar of soap and will get dropped constantly.

Can you please post some comparison pics of the peel hard case vs the power support air jacket?

Sure, I should be able to this weekend. I’ll use my wife or daughter’s iPhone to snap some pics.

FYI, as @hellojohnny stated:

“I've had Peel hard clear case for my past iPhone X and 11 and they've been good but they tend to deform a bit around the corners if you constant take the case on and off but that was before the new flat edge design. We'll see how well they hold up with the new design.”

I don’t switch out cases often, so this should not be an issue for me. I can see this being an issue for someone that does though. It is a hard case, but not as hard as the Power Support Air Jacket.

Can you please help me? What silicone case fits best with iPhone 13 Pro gold color? I plane it for my wife.

Chalk Pink, Clover, Product Red, Marigold, Pink Pomelo, Midnight, Blue Jay… basically majority of the cases will look good.

Looks like a limited availability on this one: Spigen Air Skin. Very minimal hard clear case. Also a ESR halolock to use with my car mount.

While this is not a case I would like to mention I received my dbrand Teardown skins. I ordered a glossy (left) and matte (right) version as I wanted to see how each one looks in person. The glossy one looks... weird. I like the look and feel of the matte version more so that's the one I will be using. I will post some images of how the skins look like in a clear case / the rhinoshield case later today or tomorrow morning.

matte is good. I got the one for my iPad Pro M1 12.9. Hope you enjoy it.

I usually go with the 25 cent cheapy naked side cases. So nice to feel actual edges of the phone. I tried the pitaka case but didn’t really like the raised edges ( thin screen protector ). If it’s better this year, will try it again. The black against the new bronze color is too tempting.
Is there a black, magsafe version of this?

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
Wait so the Clover picture posted is the Spigen Thin fit or an Apple case? That is super sexy lol

Is anyone else’s Sheath volume down button less raised/smaller than the volume up button? It seems like a minor issue but it feels and looks very noticeable. It’s almost flush with the case where the volume up and power buttons are much more raised.

Clover silicone on Midnight mini.

The matte black camera bump and cutouts look pretty suave under green. Definitely my keeper after a few disappointing leather cases that are all going back. Pics with a Leatherman and Apple's golden brown / pumpkin babysh*t leather case for reference.
