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

[max2]

Just got my mous case from max2. Extremely solid case. The side grips really help compared to the last mous case I had for the 12pro max. The buttons themselves don’t rattle but there’s some lateral wiggle present. Had nobody said anything on the forum it wouldn’t have been noticed.

Glad to hear you got it!

Just got on my cruise a few days ago.

Keep us posted. I am thinking about one as well. Phone Rebel is sold out. Not fully sold on the Nomad so did not pre-order even though that Orange is sexy.

All I have at the moment it the Apple Ink leather.

Phone Rebel goes on sale October 7th I believe

Oh does it? Thanks for letting me know. I see his site just says sold out.

I’m not knocking the Synthesis at all. I’m a huge fan of Caudabe. I’ve been using their cases since iPhone 6 so I’m a loyal customer of theirs and I think they release nothing but quality (except for Lucid Clear, didn’t have a great experience with that case last year and swore that one off lol) no matter all the hype of Synthesis I still myself prefer the Sheath that’s all.

What happened with their clear case?

has anyone here ever dropped their phone in the apple leather case? i just ask because of all the cases i have gotten "so far, kms" it is the sleekest and easiest to grip. though it doesn't seem like it will provide great protection if (g*d forbid) i drop it. i have a mous, synthesis and the apple leather and i'm liking the apple the best. i can easily hold the 14pm one handed securely, which i can’t do with the mous.

on a side note i ordered a cyrill case that should get here either tomorrow or monday. i had a case from them for my 12pm and really liked the fit and the buttons. they are also based out of a town right near me so i feel like i'm kinda supporting a local company. i will share my thoughts once i get it.

I initially didn’t like the loose saggy edges of the Otterbox Figura but I’ve been using this non stop the last couple of days and I think I’ll keep it! The colours are just too pretty!

I’m a real klutz. I’ve dropped my phones in the Apple leather cases a number of times on tile floors, garage floors and parking lots. While it’s scuffed up the leather, my phones have never even gotten a scratch.

Vader, you get new phone?

 

[VaderRulez]

Vader, you get new phone?

Yes. iPhone 14 Pro Max (for work). Still have my iPhone 13 Pro Max from last year, personal phone.

The difference in size (see photos) and price ($5) is negligible, and the improvements in the Synthesis redesign outweigh those. This is coming from someone who's always bought a Sheath for years. I also find the camera bump on the Synthesis to be a more elegant execution than that of the Sheath.

Thanks for posting pics! Technically Tee posted his video review yesterday I believe - just watched it today. The differences between the two cases seem really small. I’ll probably end up returning the Sheath if the Synthesis lives up to the hype. Then wait and see what Phone Rebel does.

I was all set on using my Clear bumper today along with the glass back protector, but Amazon sent me an email that the glass back protector was damaged during shipping, so they sent it back and refunded me. I placed another order with a delivery date of 10/4. Now I have to keep using the Totallee case until then.

Any thin TPU/soft/flexible MagSafe cases? Clear or frosted ideally.

I don’t like hard and snap on cases, and my ESR case was a shockingly good cheap buy but it’s thick for me.

 

[Fontvnilla]

I’m liking this combo. Caudabe Sheath in black and the MagSafe wallet in umber.

Anyone has managed to get their hands on both the Nomad and Apple leather cases? Which would be the go to this year?

 

[infinilo]

Don't even have the phone yet but I'm going to need the new Nomad Ultra Orange

I think you just found my next case, Grabbed the apple orange leather case for the color. Going to place a preorder right now.

Trying out this lens protector. Very clean look. I like it.

Looks nice. I have a Moshi clear case coming that has an aluminum lens protector like this built in. I’ll post some pics when I get it.

Looks nice — have you seen or tried the Lumen from Otterbox? I’ve got this coming next month — wondering if it will be rigid or have the same flex as the Figura.

Has anyone tried the defender xt clear ? If so how is the fit and does alot of dust get under the back

 

[naturalguy]

Was just at a local Best Buy. Took a look at the defender xt. They made a lot of changes to it, added a lot of grip and changed the material on the back to be more scratch resistant. Might pick one up

I am loving this case, been using Otterbox for years and this might be my favorite one, great grip, very protective yet thin compared to other Otterbox cases and the MagSafe magnets are nice and strong

I haven't tried the Apple leather cases, but I do have the Nomad Modern Leather for my iPhone 14 Pro. I'm not a fan of it this year. My buttons aren't great, when I press them, you can feel the button material rub against the case TPE bumper. Not premium feeling at all.

Wait so the back of the black XT is not that hard type of plastic that scratches just by looking at it ??? My Best Buy only had the clear xt and I love the material the sides are made from , but still not sure if it will collect dust

Can you post pics ? I’m curious how the back material holds up

I had something similar but it was clear and I was *gasp* peer pressured into taking it off because the lenses just look stunning on their own.

Mine was dropped the other day and had some significant scuffing on a couple of the corners. Hopefully it heals up; I feel like they’ll get less hand time due to the sheer size of the PM.

I really liked the ML from Nomad last year. Everything was tight and it looked great doing what it does, which is nice leather with a TPU bumper.

That said, Apple’s leather has always been, and likely will remain for at least this year, my favorite feeling and looking case.

The black is reminiscent of the Symmetry. Smooth with a little texture.
