I had one for my 12 Pro Max and it was not too bad. Just looking for something now with a bit more protection. Liking the Midnight Apple leather case so far but it has only been a day.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting, I've had excellent service when a case I had was defective. I filled out the form, uploaded some pics and asked them nicely if they could help me and they sent out a new case no questions asked!
On my 13PM right now is the gripzilla. Great case and not too big. Still have my sheath as well.
I have stuck with the midnight as the nomad is a bit taller, I still have the 12 max nomad to compare, also the better buttons and the bottom is soft.
I have a black sheath stuck in Sydney on its way, was a replacement for a synthesis that fell apart from last year, they refunded and sent me a free sheath for my 13 max.
I got a grey one off ebay but returned it man it felt heavy so may not even use the new one.
Is this the Gripzilla you are talking about?
Gripzilla with MagSafe® - Armor Case for iPhone 13 Pro Max (6.7")
Perhaps the most beastly and protective case we've ever laid eyes on.With grooved sides and textured surfaces, this case is the grippiest of them all.

I am curious about the Sheath as well. Assume the Smartish case is more protective though. I hear that the Otterboxes are junk again this year minus the Defender, but those are way too bulky for me. I find @Hooterville lack of posting here disturbing lol.
I guess there is also the dBrand grip. Anyone try one of those this year?

That sucks man. I was reading that here as well about the new Sheath series. It looks like due to the way that they set it up for MagSafe? That would not be a show stopper for me but if the case is making a heavy phone even heavier then I may pass on it. Maybe I will check out the Gripzilla that @AE14 mentioned to me.
I don’t think it’s that heavy. The fit seems better than it was last year to me. I would like it to be a bit more flexible again, which isn’t possible with the plastic MagSafe piece in the case. Overall, I’m more pleased this year so far with the Sheath.
Good to know. I wish some of the other case makers would step up their game. Ever since last year a lot have taken a downturn in QC for sure.
Has anyone found a good white magsafe case yet? There are various white silicon cases on Amazon but none of them support magsafe.
What I would really love is a glossy "jet white" case like I had on my iPhone 7 Plus. Put a black apple sticker on the back and made it look like the rumored color they never released.
Edit: a jet white does exist, from Peel! For some reason they don’t have it on Amazon, just their website.

Super Thin iPhone 13 Pro Case
Peel is the original and best super thin 2021 iPhone Pro case. Just 0.35mm thin and branding free, it's designed to keep the original look of your phone while protecting it. Ditch the bulk and slim down with Peel. Available in multiple colors.

It's almost as if Apple barred manufacturers from making white magsafe approved cases after they decided not to make one this year.

Does the Gripzilla lay flat on the back or wobble from the camera hump?
No real wobble. I’ve been greatly impressed. Had it on my phone for a bit
Nice, does the Magsafe ring leave a mark or damage the finish on the back of the phone at all?
Never had one of these cases but they have piqued my interest.
Never had a problem with Nomad when I’ve had a defective case that needed to be replaced. I’ve experienced excellent customer support over the years when dealing with Nomad.
Nope- none whatsoever. The back is a textured hard plastic.
It’s also quite a strong magnet
I was pretty shocked when they wouldn’t replace my case that had the leather torn away with a single drop. What’s a warranty for if not to replace due to catastrophic damage?
For a protective case like they promote that’s BS, leather shouldn’t come away like that unless you dropped it off the roof lol. Make a few comments on their Insta posts, worked for me with Caudabe.
It took me 4 weeks to get a reply from Nomad for a refund. That despite trying on all socials. I won’t use them ever again.
That’s not good. I haven’t ordered one for the 13 mini; I was contemplating ordering before my Saddleback came in. Hopefully their customer support isn’t going in the dumps. I’ve enjoyed their products since I first switched over to iOS via the XR.
Yeah, it’s a shame but even after that it’s still my favorite of the year and is what my 13 Pro wore to ring in the new year.
Just ordered a camo green and mesa blue sheath for my graphite 13 pro. Not sure when they added these.
