Any recommendations for an ultra thin case for iPhone 14 pro max that you can buy on Amazon? I know people recommend Totalee or Caudabe but they are only available via the US.

That was my only knock on it last year. Their slim case has been my pick out about town/formal wear case for years.

Yeah, their Air cases were sweet. This year they merged the 600D/1500D cases into a single line up. 600D being slightly lighter as magsafe is added.

I’ve really been digging Apple’s clear case on my 14PM. It does have its faults, like occasional creaking when I shift the phone in my hand and debris congregating along the front edge but it just looks so sharp and feels really nice in the hand.

The buttons being tough is a downer but something I can easily deal with. I do miss the feel of the Bullstrap on my 13 Pro so I may end up ordering one of them again but I refuse to pay the full $90; absolutely ridiculous.

I worry about the case scratching the frame of the phone from putting the case on and removing over time, as the pitaka doesn’t have microfiber lining. Have you found this to be an issue?

Never been an issue for me. I tend to do a clean wipe down of the case and the phone before I attach them together.

The fit is super tight (maybe too tight?) so as long as you don’t have anything in there when you put them together, it should be ok.

So is there anyone out there who has the Mous Limitless 5.0 for the 14 Pro Max and doesn't have the rattling button issue? I tried both of my Aramid Fiber, and Walnut Limitless and both the buttons rattle. I want to see if its a defect with the models I have or is it a widespread issue before doing the video on this case.

Tee - You say the Dbrand Grip has some excellent improvements. Can you explain? My ONLY gripe with the Grip was magnet strength. All else was perfect, but the magnets on the past two years cases have SUCKED
The magsafe is still a little weak but still works with everything that I use magsafe on. Just dropped my video this morning on it and it goes over everything that's improved. Better buttons, the ability to keep is almost thinner that the 13 PM version even though the 14 has bigger cameras, grips on the side flow and feel better also.

Just got the UAG Pathfinder Magsafe in Silver.
Love it.

Did initially Go for the Monarch Pro but thought the rear undulating pattern may effect the magsafe, so went for the shallower patterned (and cheaper!) Pathfinder.

Magsafe is strong and feels great in the hand.

Returning apple clear MagSafe in favour of the ESR Classic Hybrid Magnetic. A lot more side grip but still slippy.

Going to wait until Christmas to see how the orange leather ages, then will pull the trigger. I’ll probably be sick of seeing the white by then too!

Green and brown is lovely. I really didn’t think I’d like that, but I do love it. I thought I’d like the orange best but, wow!

I have had the Sheath. And I love how they feel but this years updated Synthesis knocks it out of the park. It feels sooooo good to hold. Very sturdy. The new grips on the side, oh man !!!
Thanks for that quick review! Does it feel like the Sheath? Or the dbrand Grip? Or just… something else? Lol. How is the thickness when compared to the Sheath or Mous Limitless or anything else?

Mine doesn’t rattle. I mean if I shake the phone I hear it, but I don’t think I would have noticed if I hadn’t read this thread. I honestly forget about it until I read about it here.

I received the Totallee case bundle on the day of delivery for my iPhone 14PM. I honestly thought the case would be slimmer. This is actually thicker than the Spigen Thin fit that's sold on Amazon. I really don't think it's worth the price to be honest, especially if you're looking for a thin case. The Spigen will do just fine.

The bundle also included the tempered glass screen protector. The two go hand in hand, its flush to the case. Pinky soreness is minor at this moment.

I have that same case and asked for a refund. It’s definitely not slim. Their hard case is slimmer but slippery. I love Caudabe’s Lucid Clear case but they have the MagSafe circle on the back and I don’t like the circle.
