Appreciate the photos.

Have you tested the strength of the MagSafe yet?

& I guess you don’t have anything to take photos of the phone with the case on? ?
MagSafe is very strong one of the strongest I’ve seen about on par or better then pitaka

@Hooterville how are you liking the UAG Kevlar case. Got to say, that picture you posted with the three cases on the past. That thing looks sick!
The Monarch I love and have zero problems with it. The Metropolis LT I also really like but the wireless charging killed it for me. Contacted UAG and they said they will send me out a replacement. Hopefully the replacement will be better. The Symmetry+ is definitely out for the 13PM.

Opened 4 black Symmetry + cases at Best Buy and 3 at a Verizon store for the 13PM and every one of them had wavy, loose, saggy bottoms. Guess I'll be passing on the Symmetry + :(
I don’t even bother with otterbox anymore. They’ve became very low quality over time.

There’s always talon grips on any case. ?

Edit: I wonder how good a speck presidio 2 MagSafe with a talon grip would be? *contemplates purchase

Gripzilla in today and I kind of like this case. Just worried that the sticky/gummy feeling rubber of the inside back will mess up the finish of my phone. Gripzilla users, any problems with this case leaving marks or imprints to the finish on the back of your phone after prolonged use?

PSA: You will need a crowbar to get the phone in and out of the Gripzilla case :(
No sticky/gummy in my case and no installation issues at all (nicely snug).

At the price point, Otterbox cases should be flawless, especially in terms of fit.
Many of these brands are disappointing.

Hence why I’ve just gone to AliExpress. Knocked it out the park with the first one (which was meant to be a temp case until PhoneRebel was available here). Only thing with my case is it has no MagSafe, but the makers say they’re releasing one next month, so I’ll be grabbing that ASAP.

Current one still works on my MagSafe stand, but the grip isn’t as strong of course…

Got the Raptic terrain in for my 13 pro max. The obvious lack of mag safe is a killer for me but overall it’s a decent case. Definitely nothing special, nor worth $40. Decent grip, solid fit, except around the volume buttons, which is entirely too flimsy.

Doubt I keep it

I did. I like it, but I wish they’d make the sides of the case more grippy. I love how the carbon fiber back feels and the magnets are strong, and while they’ve made the side more grippy than they used to be, they’re still kinda slick.
Cool, the thing that drives me crazy are the fingerprints/smudges on the back of the aramid fiber. Not a fault of Mous just the nature of the beast.

Yeah, I don’t like that either, but you’re right, it’s just kinda how it is with that material. I do love how they dip the sides on the front to make side swiping easier. Same thing Ringke does with its cases.

There's no "perfect" case, is there?
Not at ANY price.
THIS has THAT feature, THAT has THIS feature............
Almost seems like a conspiracy amongst the manufacturers to keep people buying new and different cases, until they find the unobtainable "Holy Grail"!
....................which, in most "cases", THEY NEVER WILL!
THIS is more of a racket than the phones themselves!
THEN, there's the screen protectors........................
Don't get me started!
