Which Case Did You Get or Recommend For Your New iPhone 14/Plus/Pro/Pro Max?

[fastmax]

Thank you, but unless the photos on the site are mock up’s it looks like there’s no counterbalance for that camera lip. The search continues…

Maybe something like this Case-Mate:

Case-Mate [3 in 1] Protection Pack - iPhone 14 Pro Case (Tough Black)

Or this one from dbrand:

iPhone 14 Pro Cases » Grip » dbrand

The Phone REBEL case does this also, but I don't think they have released their updated version for the 14 Pro series yet. This brand is known for its seriously strong MagSafe connection.
UPDATE: The new REBEL Series GEN-4 for the 14 Pro series is listed on their site directly, but they don't have any stock currently to ship.

Cases Ordered:

1. Caudabe Sheath in black for iPhone 14 Pro
2. Nomad Modern Leather in rustic brown

That’s an awesome combo!
Do share the photos when they arrive, either in the post here or PM!
Thanks

Just ordered an Apple leather ink for my 14pm. I originally bought a Smartish Gripmunk and while it’s a good case, I just can’t stand the rough texture. When my hands are dry it just feels so uncomfortable to hold. Haven’t had a leather case since my XS Max so I can’t wait to try one again.

I'm over here with no new phone or cases

Dude no!!!!

i don’t have it but this case supposedly lays flat:

Synthesis - iPhone 14 Pro Max (MagSafe)

Our most protective iPhone 14 Pro Max case. The fusion of a perimeter manufactured from ShockLite, our shock-absorbing polymer, and a rugged back shell. The iPhone 14 Pro Max Synthesis features all-new refinements.

caudabe.com

It does lay flat indeed.

 

[LLL1424]

Does the ip14 version have space next to buttons and can see bezel?

Completely enclosed.

 

[Supermallet]

It does lay flat indeed.

So if you tap the left corner, it doesn’t rock?

It does lay flat indeed.

How’s the front lip of the case? I prefer cases that don’t have anything coming over the front of the phone, similar to apple’s leather and silicone cases.

After lots of back and forth, I decided to try the Nomad sport in lunar gray for my deep purple pro. I will post pics as soon as it arrives!

waiting on a cheap leather flip case arriving from Amazon which is late!!!


The ideal for me, is a good leather flip case that works well with magsafe, but that seems to be harder to find than it should be.

I used this exact same combo on my 12 Pro Max for a few months and loved it. The bumpers wasn’t slippery and I had protection on the back for peace of mind. The bumper did turn yellow after a few months. For $13.99, I didn’t mind buying another bumper, but I had switched back to my Caudabe Lucid Clear Case at that time.

What apple silicone case do you all recommend for a gold 14 pro max?

Storm Blue or Succulent.

Any suggestions on rugged cases people have used in the past? Order this cheap one from eBay for now, Work in construction so looking for something which has cover for lightening port etc for dust.

Here is what I am rocking right now. It is a 14PM deep purple With the Apple succulent silicone. I am almost 100% sure I am going to keep it and use it interchangeably with my pitaka air. I just think it would be more durable when I am drunk around a campfire or drunk while out and about. I love the pitaka air for its minimalism but don’t feel like it protects anything other than scratches. Also, I love the way the pitaka doesn’t cover the bottom of the phone.

*** edit - there actually is no pitaka air this year, it is now the magez 3 case from pitaka.

If you charge wirelessly, I use the port plugs. Except for when using CarPlay, I never take them out. Keeps me from needing a bigger case. I have used the ESR, UAG, Caudabe and Phone Rebel cases. This year I am trying to slim down and use the ESR till Phone Rebel releases theirs. I have had no issues in the past 3 years with Phone Rebel, the port protectors and ESR screen protectors

 

[Mr.JARE_ee]

Is it me, or is the silicone this year feels a bit different? My partner bought a case recently and it's different than our 12 pro versions.

I bought some port plugs to use while my phone is in my pocket at work. I barely take my phone out of my pocket at work, so I know it’ll collect some dust. Since I won’t have to charge like I did with my 12 Pro Max, I can use the port plugs at work.

I didn't think there was Pitaka Air for the 14 pro is there?

In a good or bad way?

Caudabe Synthesis again. Third time in a row ordering Caudabe, sticking with a winner (ordered Sheath last time, just because the wait for the Synthesis was way too long - this time I didn't dawdle, jumped on the Synthesis train immediately!)

I actually ordered one based on your comment and it just came in the mail and it's really nice! I've gotten the Sheath in previous years because I assumed that the Synthesis would be much thicker but I am digging this redesign they did.

I think they may have discontinued it in lieu of an all MagSafe-compatible line up.

TBF I tried both Air and MagEz last year and the difference in thinness (.022" vs. .055") was negligible.

 

[Mr.JARE_ee]

In a good or bad way?

It's kind of nice. It's more of a matte feeling less smooth but more grippy.

I have the Synthesis on order. Does it no longer have the hard back? Does it feel more sturdy than the Sheath?

The back is rigid and doesn't have the flex that my 13 PM Sheath did; I'm sure if I tried hard enough, I could snap the backing while the Sheath can twist with no harm. Not sure how stiff the back of Synthesis was in the last few years, but it feels sturdier than my 12 PM, 13 PM, and presumably the 14 PM Sheath.

Thanks. I was hoping the back was still rigid. The Sheath gives me to much anxiety being so flexible. Always feel it too limited of protection. I also am one that doesn't like the grip of the Sheath so the new Synthesis sounded great. Synthesis from a few years ago felt like to much hard plastic.
