I have these two as well. I like the color of the abyss, but I don’t like the way it attracts dust and lint. The Dark Cherry leather case is perfect as usual. I also have the Midnight Blue. I usually buy light colors in silicone and dark colors in leather, I need them to sell the Product Red leather again.

Yeah I would have went with a leather Product Red so was disappointed when that wasn't available. The silicone version of it is too bright for me when I checked it out in the Apple Store.

First take on the Smartish Gripzilla (with MagSafe) for my iPhone 13 Pro. I’m going to be making comparisons to the Cadaube Sheath.

1. LOVE the ergonomic waves on the side rails of the case. Basically the same texture as the Caudabe Sheath. Makes handling amazing.

2. A bit thicker than the Sheath, but not bulky. I actually like the added width. Makes it easier for me to type. I’m 29, but have been noticing that my fine motor coordination isn’t what it was 10 years ago.

3. The case has awesome floating buttons. Highly responsive and satisfying. Not loose and not too hard to depress. They are in that Goldilocks zone. A+ on the buttons IMHO.

4. Bottom cutouts are asymmetrical and don’t bother my pinky.

5. Fit is great. Very precise, snug and not loose.


Ask me anything about the case.

Is the back of the case a smooth material/finish? Thinking about the possibility of a skin(Dbrand)on the back?
 
I'll keep a eye on this one.. Rolling Square has delivered on two previous campaigns with minimal delays. Quality stuff


More details tomorrow

Edit: Attached a sneak peek of the video they are uploading tomorrow (From their Telegram channel)

.3mm thick sounds great and no exposed edges on the built in screen protector
$19.00
Clear and black offerings

Appears to be two glass pieces connected to a very thin bumper.

I went with a Spigen Tough Armor case for my 13 mini. I'm quite satisfied. The outside dimensions are virtually identical to the old waterproof case that I used with my 2016 SE, so the pocketability has not changed for me. The back of the case is raised enough to allow the phone to lay flat on my desk and keep the camera lenses off of the surface. It is surprisingly slim around the perimeter of the phone, and has a tactile feel to the rubber that makes the phone feel secure in hand.

As a person who prefers to use my iPad naked, but is too clumsy to use my iPhone naked outdoors, this case seems like a very nice compromise between the two extremes. I enjoy being able to physically touch the screen glass as opposed to having a layer in between, but having the benefits of a fairly rugged overall design to the case.
 
How is the abyss blue silicone case holding up with finger grease and lint? I have the blue jay and would prefer the darker case but from past experience of silicone cases, the darker ones just look messy all the time. Is it any different this time round?
 
The more I use this bumper the more I like it. It's just so damn sharp. If the replacement Andar leather case isn't flawless I can't see it unseating this one as the winner this year.
Welp, decided to cancel the Andar so this is my 21/22 case. I'll likely switch over to my midnight Apple leather occasionally but I really have no complaints on this bumper.

The sides look incredible. Are the back corners awkward to hold in your palm? The more pictures you share, the more they're tempting me.
Not awkward at all. The bottom right corner hovers over the pad at the base of my ring finger so I don't even feel it.

Do the raised corners impact wireless charging at all?
Not on my chargers. This is an ESR car charger that I repurposed for my desk and the one I have at home is a dual mount for my phone/watch with an actual MagSafe puck that sits about the same as this one. It would probably be an issue on a pad type charger.

I'll post on this once again to bump it up. This looks like a nice and minimal case from Rolling Square. I have bought three different items from their Indigogo campaigns and they have always come through, and the product was quality.

Hate to sound like a shill, I'm not associated at all, just a happy customer

I went with a 3 pack for €51.00 EUR, should be about $60 USD. So for $20 per case shipped, it seems like it will be a good deal. On their telegram, somebody brought up a case from China that looked similar... it's not and remember this one is only .3MM

I'm also wondering how it goes on charge stands - possibly the same issue with puck style as you say.
 
My wife and I both have new 13 Pro Max iPhones.

I have the Apple Leather Case in Golden Brown. Very happy with the quality and appearance. Buttons work perfectly.

All the photos here showing the Apple Leather Wallet attached to the case are tempting me to consider getting one of those. I could keep my drivers license and one or two credit cards with my phone and practically eliminate the need to carry a separate wallet most of the time. Is that what others who have this MagSafe wallet also do?

My wife tried the Apple Leather Case but prefers a folio case, so we returned the Apple case and she is now using the Nomad folio, brown leather, and is very happy with it.
