I just received the Benks Clear case with mag safe yesterday and I hate it. :( The edges are so sharp that it's almost painful to hold the phone. I haven't looked into their return policy yet, but this is either going back or going straight into the trash.

If you must keep it, take an xacto knife and carefully bevel the edges. Use magnification if you have it…

Damn, sorry to hear that. I love my Benks clear case (I have the non magsafe version). I only stopped using it because I have a dbrand Teardown skin on my device and wanted to show it off so I switched to the Rhinoshield bumper case. I found the case extremely comfortable (more so than the official leather case which dug into my pinky) and I didn't find it slippery like say the official apple clear case. Combined with the metal clicky buttons it was honestly the best clear case I ever used.

They have a 30 day return policy I believe so look into returning it.

I have this same case on order and should be delivered by end of week (Hopefully). There was a big shipping delay in China transit and it's been 15 days since I order and shipment.

As for the sharp edges, do you think that's by design or could it be a defective case? I. hope the edges don't bother me.

I believe it is defective, as the sharp edges are only along one side and the bottom of the case. 2 of the 4 sides feel fine.

Need some inspiration.

Looking for a thin case with MagSafe magnets. Either clear or a similar blue to the standard 13.

I have the ESR halo lock and it’s less slippy the more I use it but want something thinner. But it’s sold me on having MagSafe magnets in the case you’re using.

Preferably available on Amazon UK as I don’t fancy importing. I’m too impatient!

Will be repping an ultra thin Japanese case for a few months. Being 6 grams helps my mini maintain its sexy .

🎃👈 reminds me of the color of pumpkin. I’m hoping it darkens a bit but I love it either way!
The more I use mine the more I love it. It’s a great look from the front when looking at the screen. That orange border around the black screen looks great.

Got the Sequoia green leather case + wallet, but I'm already bored with the color before receiving the phone. 🙁

Just got an Apple Watch with the Midnight band and it looks super nice! Hopefully Apple let's me swap the Sequoia for Midnight despite being outside of the return window.

I initially ordered the Apple clear case for my 13 Pro Max. Look neat, but the slickness of the case made me nervous that I thought I'd drop the phone. I then got a leather Nomad case, and I do like that (I added a wrist strap and that works well) I also have an Apple silicon case and a Blackbrook Pieno Magnetic Detachable Leather Wallet. It works best with the Apple silicon case.

I'd love to get a Vaja case. But I've already spent enough :D
