Ah okay.

Clear Case, open bottom.
Silicone and leather, closed.

I also find that the clear cases let a lot more dust in

I have a clear case from Apple on my 11 Pro, although it looks hideous now it saved my iPhone from breaking for at least 50 times over a 3-years timespan. The bottom of the phone has some scratches though, but I was and still am not bothered by it. I only use the case when I’m on the move. When I’m at home or at the office I remove the case. It’s purely for protection and not for aesthetics. Therefore I ordered another clear case for my pre-ordered iPhone 14 Pro. The clear case is sturdy and easy to clean. It also snaps on very easily. Not sure how the experience will be with the new form factor of the 14 pro but I’ll guess I’ll find that out soon enough.

Thank you!

Yeah I really like the Apple clear case on the 11 Pro but the open bottom really annoys me, especially as I also use one of those phone tab things so I can attach my phone to a wrist strap. The clear case is so nice though!

If the clear case had a closed bottom, it’d probably be my case of choice. I just don’t find it comfortable to hold

Does the apple leather case have raised edges to protect the screen ? On pictures I saw it seems to end at the same height as the screen.
 
What colour silicone case would people go with for the iPhone 14 pro max in silver?. I was thinking the storm blue or elderberry colours?.
 
Went for the clear case for my - first time since iPhone 4s - silver 14 Pro pre-order. I really want to be able to see the phone. I have the black silicone case on my space grey 11 pro which has peeled and deteriorated so heavily in 18 months, I'd never buy one again.
 
Lilac Apple Silicone, or ornarto silicone case. My favorite non apple silicone brand. haven’t decided which one I want to get first yet.
 
Hey guys

Just went to my local apple store and picked the following cases for my incoming Deep Purple Pro :

Leather : Midnight
Silicone : Elderberry
Leather : Ink

Honestly such nice colours this year!!

For my last two phones I’ve used Mous cases. These are undeniably protective but they’re a bit bulky and expensive. I have a three year old so I do need something with some protection but I don’t need it to be bulletproof.

A must have feature for me is some kind of counterbalance to the camera bump. I hate placing my phone on a flat surface and having it rock back and forth because the camera bump side is so much thicker (many cases exacerbate this by putting a lip around the bump with no counter balance element). As far as I can tell this would disqualify several cases, including Pitaka or Magbak.

Looking at the Caudabe Synthesis, it seems like the lip coming off the bump is intended to counter balance the bump itself? At least that’s what it looks like. I prefer the counter balance to be in the opposite corner but if it stops the phone from rocking that’s the important thing.

Any other recommendations I should consider? The Mous Limitless is $60 and I can usually get a coupon from the Mobile Reviews Eh YouTube channel (great accessory reviewer by the way), so I’d prefer something around the $40 range if possible.

Edit: Looks like the Phone Rebel case should meet almost or maybe all of my criteria. Shame they won’t be available for launch.

I did have the 13pro midnight case also and to they both look identical.

If you want to change things up this year I would recommend the silicone Elderberry and the Ink - they are 🔥
That ink looks navy blue in your pic as well. I think that may be the one.
 
Nice. I received the 4 spigen cases I ordered from amazon yesterday. Keeping 1 returning 3. This year I'll be going with a magsafe spigen case.
Good pick man. I had spigens before. I just been getting clear ringkes on all my phones. So it’s like a tradition now lol
