Just received my first MagBak case. I love the light blue color but am surprised how slippery the case is. I guess I have just been spoiled by the texture and grip of the Caudabe Shealth case I've had on my last few iPhones. Still waiting for Caudabe to come out with more color options!

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

As far as clear cases go, Totallee and Spigen are two of the most popular. I generally don't like the branding that is done all over the Spigen cases (perhaps they have toned it down).

If you want a really good solid case, Caudabe is the way to go. Love the texture of their Sheath cases.

I've been using Caudabe cases for years... they are my favorite of all time.

Personally, I am not a fan of the clear cases... IMO, the look cheap, and often yellow over time.

Going with white/silver again this year to go with my stainless Apple Watch.. great to have orange back again and it's stellar in person.

Sadly the MagSafe wallet has weaker magnets (or I have a dud) than my OG Saddle Brown version. Probably will go back, but the case is a keeper for sure.

What brand is this? I love the orange!

Would the Magsafe charging work through this type of case? I've always liked Spigen's clear cases? I'm on an iPhone 7+ so I have no experience with Magsafe charging other than my Apple Watch.

that case looks nice and clean. as far as MagSafe goes, it will probably charge through a MagSafe puck laying flat on a table. but a lot of MagSafe accessories are upright and are intended to be used with the iPhone hanging magnetically. i doubt the connection would be strong enough.

one of the many reviews I read this morning said that some 13 Pro cases will fit the 14 Pro, just "a bit snug." hoping some of y'all will test that out soon.

I'd like a case that meets these requirements (if it exists): as thin as possible, has MagSafe magnets built in, and has a scoop at the bottom to make swiping on the bottom of the screen easier. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Ah ha Mous did send me the wrong case :( It was for the iPhone 14 Pro 6.1 inch not the iPhone 14 Pro Max 6.7 inch.

I found a label on the box.

Glad they fixed their error quickly by sending it to me next day without me having to say anything even though I did earlier today. I doubt it shipped in a few hours lol. That is what I call service!



Hopefully they let me keep it so I can give it away to someone who needs a case. It may not be worth it to send back for them. Time will tell.

may I ask the owner of the caudabe cases (synthesis or seath).
is there really a gab at the buttons on the side where you can see the frame of the iphone? I didn't found any picture here in this thread.

maybe someon can take a picture? thanks guys :)

Looking at the iPhone 13 Pro Max case that I own (which should be no different than this year's case) you can see the frame around the power button, speaker grills, and lightning plug. But that's normal.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Caseology Parallax? Thinking I may get one as a back up…

Yes there’s a small slit a little shorter than the full length of each button underneath to help with button click responsiveness. Which has improved the buttons a lot since they started this with the 13 series cases.

thanks for reply :)
I saw the reviews for the iphone 13 for those cases, but was not sure is this also applies for the 14 models.
Did it scratched the frame during the usage or the 13 model?
