So like this colour, with the black it would be ideal but not sure my Deep Purple version gonna bennefit as much.

Yeah, but are you actually going to see the Purple color with that case?

That has always been my problem with the solid cases -- you never know what color phone is underneath.
 
I came here out of curiosity to see what cases people were ordering.

Went to the last page first and was elated to see CAUDABE and SHEATH mentioned.

I bought my first Caudabe Sheath last year with the 13 Pro Max. By far, the best case I ever used.

Bought the black for this year's iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, I really wanted the Crimson color as I am a big fan of anything red.

The Crimson has been sold out for about a week now. My black is on its way but I am thinking about trading it in once I get it.

The only thing I don't like about solid cases is that I went with a DEEP PURPLE iPhone this year and nobody will neer know it. However, the upside is the Caudabe case is second to none in my opinion.

“Sold out” is their verbiage for it not being available yet. It’ll get released soon. Unfortunately sometimes they can take months. This is the first red Sheath and I’m definitely interested in getting that one.

Aaaah, okay. So it never went on sale.

This is the reply I got from support:

"Our Crimson case will be in stock and ready to ship in just a few weeks and we make exchanges super easy!"

I ordered the Rugged Armor for my 14Pro Max.

I have been using the Slim Armor for years. Still don't see it on Amazon yet.
I have the rugged armor at home for my 14 promax. Might be the flimsiest MagSafe case I’ve ever tried.

Always got to be Kavaj for me, and Miami is my preferred for a phone, not had to use a wallet for over 5 years. Not got a 14 pro max option yet sadly, but I've ordered one for the 13 as the dimensions are so similar and this style doesn't need to be as exact as one that actually connects. Can always return if it's not a good enough fit.

How is the texture of the Sheath? I loved it on my iPhone X back in the day but the texture seemed more slippery when I’ve tried it on the Max phones since then. Haven’t tried it since getting my 12PM.

I’m really hoping that Phone Rebel knocks it out of the park this year. I’ve been between their Flex and the MagBak with my 12 Pro Max after having the dbrand grip and I can’t remember what else. Looking at the Rebel this time.

Anybody remember Thanotech bumpers? I wish they were still around.
 
Mous limitless 5.0 for 14pro. Nice side grips and the micro fibre lining is back. MagSafe fairly strong as well. Not quite sure it’s as good as phone rebel but also no more bulkier.

that looks nice. i like that they finally gave up on their own magnet solution and embraced magsafe. their cases have always been on the bulkier side. but i have always liked them. might add a bamboo to my collection.
 
I’m considering the Mous Limitless 5 in that Pearl color to go with the white iPhone. But I don’t want bulk. Or questionable build quality, especially going by the cost of the case.

That’s Elderberry silicone. Should be a great match for Deep Purple
Thank you. It looks beautiful. I ordered umber because I wanted silver but changed my mind at the last minute to deep purple. I just wanted to try something new since I always get black or white phones. But the case finding struggle for this color is real lol. I'll prob return the umber leather b cause I don't think it will look good with purple and order the elderberry.

I have been using a Smartish "Kung Fu Grip" for years now (I think they call it "Gripmunk" now, but same case), but have just had the "standard" sized phones. Went with the bigger 14 Pro Max this time around and for whatever reason thought it would be better to have something a bit more substantial. Anyways, I've had really good luck with Spigen products in the past too, so I am giving their "Tough Armor" a try. I had one years ago on a Pixel 3 and really liked it then, so hopefully it will be solid still. Not trying to have something ultra bulky like an Otterbox Defender or UAG or whatnot, but a bit nervous about the prospect of a really slim case like Smartish, Caudabe, etc...
 
Hello!

Just looking for some opinions on clear cases. I prefer clear so the colour of the phone shows through the case but have had a black Apple silicone on my 12 Pro.

Or is there a better case that’s not clear? Open to that too!

Thanks
