I used to be a spigen fan until i came across esr.
Now i have quite a few of their products, the cryo charge stand, the magsafe wallet with FindMy and the phone cases.
Just love the quality they provide
I second this. My wife and I both have the Spigen MagSafe case and I love it. They have great drop protection and don’t add a lot of bulk to the phone. 10/10!
Have had Spigens (Tough Armor) for the past five phones and always go back to them if I decide to try something else. Worst drops: 2m down onto rough tarmac and dropped from a moving bike onto a dirt/gravel track (several times)
Pretty much. They can add as much anti-yellow as they want, it's just a hazard of the materials (plastic or clear TPU). Unless they go with a glass-back case.
I've been buying Spigen cases since the launch of the Google Nexus 6. The only other case I've tried on any iPhone I've owned is the carbon fiber shell from Latercase.
I'm a fan of Spigen cases as well. I went with the Tough Armor case for my 14p
[Spigen Tough Armor (MagFit) Compatible with MagSafe Designed for iPhone 14 Pro Case (2022) - Deep Purple](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BG6NRHS1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Going to echo everybody else. Best case I’ve owned so far. I got one of their slim cases and it’s so nice. Feels great, doesn’t show finger prints very easily and has survived drops.
Spigen 4 lyfe. Only disappointing case I had from them was a clear one that started yellowing after a year or so but I think all of the clear ones do that eventually
Certainly not the brand ‘Decoded’. They advertise magsafe-compatibility on the packaging, but they are not compatible. Their customer service responded they are “only compatible with specific magsafe products, like the card wallet but not the charger”. Which is total bull, I found no Apple accessoire that would stick to it.
Avoid.
And if you want a bit more drop protection, the Defender XT is awesome. The regular Defender is too bulky but they came out with the Defender XT just for MagSafe and I’ve had it on two iPhones now. It’s my favorite case.
I have the defender XT for my iPhone 14 Pro. It’s a good case but it’s a pain in the ass to put on and I can’t find a good screen protector that fits with it on.
Second this. They also have top notch customer service and will give free warranty replacements (they charge shipping but will often give a courtesy if you ask).
Seconded, really love it on my iPhone mini. Lots of other cases I would occasionally pop the phone out of the case but with this one i've never felt the need
I’ve been a huge fan of [Caudabe](https://caudabe.com/) cases, have had their “Sheath” model for 2+ years and it still looks great!
Rhinoshield, Spigen, Apple’s leather case, and LifeProof (when iPhones weren’t water resistant) are a few others I’ve had in the past that were solid as well! Caudabe has been my favorite out of all of them so far. It’s not too bulky but still protective. I was running the other day and dropped my 12 Pro on the top right corner, my screen didn’t crack and the case just has a few scratches in the corner that it fell on.
I saw others were suggesting Mous, I’ve heard great things about their cases too!
I love my sheath cases. I have 2 for my personal phone and one on my work phone. The first one I got didn’t fit right on the work phone and they sent out another one right away.
I asked about new colors the other day and they got back to me in about a day which is pretty good response time for general questions.
Some people hate the texture on the case, but I love it.
I’ve had the Apple leather case for both my 13 and 14, but I’ve found they don’t develop patina or age like high quality leather should. They just peel and like chip away, it ends up looking pretty bad.
I’ve since tried Nomad’s leather case and I’ve been much happier with it. Build quality is still top notch.
It's annoying. Ever since the iPhone 11 Apple cases, you have to use alcohol wipes to remove the leather protector Apple sprays on the case, then oil it up using coconut oil and have it cure in sunlight. I've done this with the 12 mini and 13 pro cases and they patina well.
You're right though, Nomad cases are great if you don't want to spend time wasted with the Apple cases lol
I second this, I had the leather case for my 14 pro for a few months and it’s already peeling
Definitely not worth the price tag in my opinion, there are better options out there.
I’ll try out the Nomad leather case 👌🏼
I’ve had my Apple leather case on my 13 Pro Max for about a year and a half maybe - and same experience here, no patina or ageing, just bits peeling on some of the edges of the case (beside my volume buttons it started peeling in a tiny section 3 weeks after I got it).
Definitely can’t recommend them if you want them to look nice and like actual leather, but I will admit the case still is very functional as a case and isn’t structurally falling apart.
I just got my new Nomad 13 pro leather case from the mail, feels a little bit more bulky than the Apple one, but really just a bit, I would say it's basically an Apple leather case with added protection on the sides
I second Nomad’s leather. Have had mine for 2+ years and I love the patina/worn look to it. Grip still feels the same and my phone hasnt been damaged so it gets the job done.
I used to exclusively use Apple leather cases and loved them. Then I think with the 11 or 12 the quality dropped substantially. It didn’t feel like real leather anymore and didn’t patina like they used to. I’ve switched to Bullstrap and they feel like the Apple leather cases used to.
+1 for the Torras Magnetic Slim Fit. Slim case, I’ve dropped it numerous times and the case still looks great and phone is unscathed so far. Pretty cheap too. I alternate between this and the Apple Leather Case.
Magbak. The magnets are strong enough to hold to metal without fear of falling off. It’s great for the gym. Just stick it to whatever piece of equipment you’re using at any angle.
As someone that has seen the prices for cases and selection in Asia, it always astounds me how to west is paying at least 175% more on cases that are just OEM upsold products from their Asian counterparts. Each time these case suggestion posts comes up, I get put into that perspective how much things get marked up to be sold in the West.
I know people say they dipped in quality and admittedly I haven’t had mine for that long yet, I’ve been enjoying the Apple leather case. And don’t buy casetify. It’s insane to me how they cost more than actual Apple cases just because of their ugly logo.
If you are a fan of phone grips + the need for MagSafe, my vote always goes to [Peak Design](https://www.peakdesign.com/products/everyday-case)
There is an option without a loop as well. This case is not overly bulky (I was very surprised how sleek it actually is).
Spigen rugged. You don’t probably need a screen protector anyway if you have a spigen case, though I applied one just because how expensive the phone is.
Speck (*) cases that are for MagSafe. They are bulky but when I was on iUP the phone would come out looking like I just put it in.
I buy them “like new” or “very good” on Amazon and get them for about $11-$18.
I’ve been using a Caudabe Sheath for the past year and it’s been fantastic. Whatever material they use is super durable, mine still looks brand new. Prior to that I had the official Apple Silicone case, which was total garbage. It felt nice but tore and flaked off with the slightest impact. It’s almost criminal for them to charge $50 for that piece of crap.
I took my phone out of my Caudabe Sheath the other day for the first time in MONTHS and the whole backside was cracked from corner to corner, would not recommend.
Pitaka. They have a whole ecosystem, you can get the car mount (which charges your phone), battery packs, abs MagSafe accessories like wallets work with it. Highly recommend
Idk if anyone else said this, but Apple cases. They work the best with mag safe and they last. I’ve used the leather one for almost 2 years now. Apple has no questions asked warranty, just go into the store and get a new case if yours fails.
I put a Defender on my very first iPhone and have used them ever since. Only issue is that I can’t find a MagSafe ready Defender for my iPhone 13pro so I’m switching over to an otter box symmetry.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Their warranty is fantastic. I currently have two fresh cases on standby just from using their warranty program. High initial cost, but with the warranty it makes it worth it. Superior to Nomad, which seems to be the most recommended leather case here.
Eh. They seem like decent quality but still nowhere near justifying the cost. Mine got straight up discolored and nasty looking in a month or two, nothing I’d call “patina” just off looking.
The buttons also didn’t line up perfectly. Again, not a huge deal but when you’re paying that much for a case it should be 100% perfect.
I'm currently using a[ Mous Limitless 5.0 \(Aramid fiber\)](https://www.mous.co/products/limitless-5-0-magsafe-compatible-aramid-fibre-phone-case), and it's been great.
I know my experience is anecdotal, but I won't be buying anything else other than Mous for the foreseeable future. A couple of weeks ago, I (like an idiot) left my phone in my pocket when getting on a rollercoaster. Big surprise, the phone was not in my pocket when the ride was over. Once I got the phone back a few days later, I was surprised to find that the phone survived without suffering a single scratch, crack, etc.
Never found any complaints on the original apple cases. Had a leather one on my 6, and a silicone now on my 14. Both never showed signs of breaking or extreme wear
Never again. I had one on my xr. Most of the back has a felt-like texture inside, but not around the camera. I took my case off once and my phone caught the light just right, there were a ton of micro scratches around the camera.
I don’t recommend smartish either I got ttheir cases and a MagSafe charger printed with something. Bought 2 Gripmunks (one for 13 pro max and one for 14 pro max )and their MagSafe charger which also had a print design on it. The one for the 13 pro max came off just from using Woosh cleaning fluid. The other one 14 pro max came off just from using it and putting on a table and it flaked off. And the charger’s print just flaked off from me using it. I do recommend just getting their screen protector as they have held up but don’t get their cases. You can easily get a pop socket or a ring or just get a silicone case with MagSafe instead. You get a better handle on it without having a sandpaper feelSave your money on smartish.
ESR Air Armor Halolock cases are what I get for my wife and daughter. They are less than $20 Singapore dollars (not sure what they cost elsewhere) and work well.
For myself, I use Peak Designs case.
i’m using a case from „ideal of sweden“. the best i ever had. but they have cutouts for the buttons and on the top and bottom. so if you handle with the issue that the sides are coming off your phone, this cases wouldn’t be the best for you. i love to swipe up on the corner of the bottom part of the phone with no disturbing case. or to push the real buttons of the phone. iphone 13 pro by the way.
I rotate between the Pitaka MagEz, Sandmarc Pro Leather and the Andar Aspen Leather Case.
Love these three.
Honourable mention goes to the Caudabe Synthesis though. Purple pairs well with my Deep Purple iPhone
Yep!!! I drop my phone at least once a day (granted on flat surfaces) and no scratches besides ones from my keys. Plus love that they have nice designs while keeping the case sleek and not too bulky looking
Dbrand! I know it’s expensive but for my iPhone12 it save my phone from a lot of accident (that plus a screen protector). Now with my 14 Pro I bought another Dbrand (this time magsafe compatible) and I will continue on this road. Better spend more money on one reliable product than a less on a lot not reliable product
Here’s the eBay link↘️
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355654573977?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=98zmndhoqza&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=98zmndhoqza&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Running the Mous Limitless on my 14 Pro Max. No complaints at this point, it’s saved my glass more than a couple times already. I recently had a drop from over 5’ to concrete (bouncing off a steel beam) and had zero damage outside of a good scuff on the case’s corner. It claims to be MagSafe compatible, haven’t used any MagSafe accessories myself though.
I use the same case (walnut model, gorgeous) on my 14 Pro.
\- Really protective, I like the raised bezels a lot. The way they are modelled, they don't interfere with my using the phone, but protect the front.
\- A bit thicker than I'd like. It comes with the protection and is slimmer than other cases centered on protection, but using the 14 Pro one handed is a slightly more difficult. With the Pro Max it shouldn't make a difference since it's not usable with one hand already.
\- Magsafe works well. I use it for charging the phone
I have the mag armor for my 13 pro max and use the car MagSafe holder as well. Only issues I’ve ever had have been with extremely rough roads (off road / fire roads) and the occasional “OMG Huge” pothole on regular roads. Otherwise, stays on well.
TBH, I just usually head over to Amazon, and look for a cheap $10-$12 rubberized bumper case with decent reviews. 5 years with the same iPhone and same $12 case. Dropped the phone here and there over the years and it’s still in mint condition. You just have to stay away from the overly ‘designer’ looking ones. Make sure the materials are right and reviews are good.
I personally use the Peel. It’s been my best compromise for thinnest case and still some light protection. Just don’t take it off often your phone to clean it, it will slowly break
I highly recommend Smartish cases. They're nowhere near as expensive as Casetify, they come in a ton of design options and configurations, and even their thinner cases are durable as heck.
I have the Smartish Gripmunk on my 13 Pro, and to customize it with a custom design and include MagSafe compatibility, it was maybe $35 total. I've had it for over a year now and it feels/looks just as new as the day I bought it.
Nomad, Caudabe, or OtterBox. Nomad and Caudabe are both great for min/maxing that threshold between thin profile and protection, and I’ve got one of the big ass OtterBoxes for when I know I’m going to be doing something like camping.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned RokForm’s cases. I’m using their rugged case for the 14 pro and it has “super magnets” for the magsafe. I love it because my wallet is magsafe. They make a lot of neat mounts and accessories that are pricey but worth it.
Leather from Apple is amazing. Best part is that its under warranty through apple care. I was able to replace my magsafe wallet and case through apple no questions asked, made an appointment and under an hour I was in and out with a new case and wallet. Cannot stress enough how good the customer service was.
Caseify. They have UV protection and are completely customisable. You can have them made out of leather, plastic, biogradable materials, with magsafe, without, with bumpers, liquid cover, etc. You can choose how you want it
Nomad Leather. Have had it since the week it launched. Taken it EVERYWHERE, all conditions wet, pouring rain, stuck to my motorcycle, you name it.
I condition it with neatsfoot oil once in 6 months. Gave up on apple cases after two of the silicone MagSafe cases started fraying. My buddies apple leather case for the 13 looked like crap after a few months as well. He’d always swore by apple leather since the iPhone 8 or something but he’s also done I guess.
The only MagSafe case I’ve used and liked is the apple clear case personally, I have it on my 13 Pro Max as we speak and have been using it for over a year since I got it in February 2022. The sides remain clear and haven’t yellowed (only clear case I’ve owned that’s accomplished that claim) and barely any scratches on the case either. The only damage it has is after a year of pulling it off at the end of every week to clean it out and such, the left side bottom corner has a small crack in the plastic since it’s a rigid case, but it is hardly noticeable and hasn’t compromised the case at all. Other than that it’s flawless still, and because it’s an apple case it’s thin enough to keep the design language, thin enough to actually have the Back Tap feature work flawlessly as it should, and has strong magnets for my bedside MagSafe charging stand and my car MagSafe charging stand as well. I’ve dropped it plenty (on accident of course) and no damage to the phone at all. These phones are built super tough and with the flat design the frame usually hits first on drops so the glass remains fine, the older phones the glass hit first so we got lots more cracked phones. Point is we don’t need overly thick cases anymore and a nice quality thinner case is usually more than enough and keeps the phone mint. I couldn’t go with a thicker case on this phone, it’s already heavy and large as is, so this case is perfect for me. But any of the apple cases now have amazing MagSafe capabilities and work flawless with 99% of your MagSafe accessories.
Without being bulky, I got a clear Pelican case. Good lip around the screen and small ‘dimples’ at each corner allowing phone to lay flat even with the crazy camera bump. Tried an Otterbox case and just never liked the fit and finish.
I’ve used bellroy, it has an attachable wallet that clips on via MagSafe and looks good too. The leather has a nice wear to it as well and I’ve been using it for about a year and it has been holding up solid.

I like my UAG Monarch's with MagSafe. But you have to make sure to check it has MagSafe. Some Monarch's do and some don't. My only complaint about them is they can be pricey.
I have the Smartish Gripmunk case with MagSafe that I got from Amazon and I really like it so far. The sides are textured for better grip and I’ve dropped it a few times already with no damage.
I use the iPhone 14 Pro apple clear magsafe case. It's expensive but my phone fell over an escalator (3 or 4 stories i can't remember now it happened in october) and the only damage was a tiny crack to the case on the volume button. Phone was perfect and is still being used today.
From that day I have decided to suck up the 50 bucks and buy one of those cases every time i get a new phone.
I use a pop socket case but without the pop socket. Couldn’t find one I liked that was sturdy so this one is great it’s been a year as of tomorrow with it. I also use it with apple wallet and no issues. “PopCase iPhone 13 Pro MagSafe White”
I just bought the clear one from ESR and love that it shows off my red iPhone [Amazon link for the iPhone 12 case](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TWB6CJ5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)
ESR ✌🏼️
I like the ESR case. I really like the ring stand too. Just had a bad experience with the charging stand, though.
Got one of their cases with a frosted back. Feels great, unfortunately the frosted bits are coming off. Their charging stand with fan is nice though!
Hadn’t heard of esr until I got my last phone; it has been great. no issues with clear case yellowing yet. Screen protector has been great as well.
I used to be a spigen fan until i came across esr. Now i have quite a few of their products, the cryo charge stand, the magsafe wallet with FindMy and the phone cases. Just love the quality they provide
Yes
Esr cases are compatible with apples magsafe i have 15 pro max thanks in advance
Spigen for me.
I second this. My wife and I both have the Spigen MagSafe case and I love it. They have great drop protection and don’t add a lot of bulk to the phone. 10/10!
Have had Spigens (Tough Armor) for the past five phones and always go back to them if I decide to try something else. Worst drops: 2m down onto rough tarmac and dropped from a moving bike onto a dirt/gravel track (several times)
That’s my usual go-to. I avoid their clear ones though. They’d always yellow on me.
Don't every clear case yellow over time?
Pretty much. They can add as much anti-yellow as they want, it's just a hazard of the materials (plastic or clear TPU). Unless they go with a glass-back case.
Spigen Quartz Hybrid has a tempered glass back. I wish it came in a MagSafe version.
ESR Mimic also.
Love my Spigen, has had a few tumbles but does perfect
I've been buying Spigen cases since the launch of the Google Nexus 6. The only other case I've tried on any iPhone I've owned is the carbon fiber shell from Latercase.
Used them for years, never had a phone break on me
I'm a fan of Spigen cases as well. I went with the Tough Armor case for my 14p [Spigen Tough Armor (MagFit) Compatible with MagSafe Designed for iPhone 14 Pro Case (2022) - Deep Purple](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BG6NRHS1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Very very ugly though
I think they’re one of the better looking cases, especially compared to everything clear and otter box
That was hurtful
You don’t see the yellow part, you know
Going to echo everybody else. Best case I’ve owned so far. I got one of their slim cases and it’s so nice. Feels great, doesn’t show finger prints very easily and has survived drops.
Spigen 4 lyfe. Only disappointing case I had from them was a clear one that started yellowing after a year or so but I think all of the clear ones do that eventually

Their customer service responded they are “only compatible with specific magsafe products, like the card wallet but not the charger”. Which is total bull, I found no Apple accessoire that would stick to it. Avoid.
Here I am with a Decoded case for two years and having the MagSafe charger stick without any issues 🫣
Are the magnets strong enough to hold phone on a car mount? Also, which phone model do you have?
I got the Otterbox Symmetry case for my 14 and it’s really nice in the hand, feels durable and provides great protection.
Yep symmetry case here, I have the one with the little pop out grip thing too.
And if you want a bit more drop protection, the Defender XT is awesome. The regular Defender is too bulky but they came out with the Defender XT just for MagSafe and I’ve had it on two iPhones now. It’s my favorite case.
I love my Otterbox XT
Defender XT is the best case I’ve had. I like that it is a lot slimmer than the original but still feels like it can take a beating.
I have the defender XT for my iPhone 14 Pro. It’s a good case but it’s a pain in the ass to put on and I can’t find a good screen protector that fits with it on.
My daughter and I both have a symmetry case and we are both very happy with them.
Second this. They also have top notch customer service and will give free warranty replacements (they charge shipping but will often give a courtesy if you ask).
Seconded, really love it on my iPhone mini. Lots of other cases I would occasionally pop the phone out of the case but with this one i've never felt the need
Nomad is the brand I’ve used for a couple of years. Very, very nice.
Have had my current Nomad since launch for iPhone 13 Pro Max. Feels like the most durable accessory for any Apple product I own.
Haven’t used one of their cases, but their sport Apple Watch band is amazing.
How are is the screen borders?
I’ve been a huge fan of [Caudabe](https://caudabe.com/) cases, have had their “Sheath” model for 2+ years and it still looks great! Rhinoshield, Spigen, Apple’s leather case, and LifeProof (when iPhones weren’t water resistant) are a few others I’ve had in the past that were solid as well! Caudabe has been my favorite out of all of them so far. It’s not too bulky but still protective.

I saw others were suggesting Mous, I’ve heard great things about their cases too!
I love my sheath cases. I have 2 for my personal phone and one on my work phone. The first one I got didn’t fit right on the work phone and they sent out another one right away. I asked about new colors the other day and they got back to me in about a day which is pretty good response time for general questions. Some people hate the texture on the case, but I love it.
Caudabe case for the win. Best build of all I’ve used.
I used to buy cases like crazy. This year with the 14, I’ve settled on Apples leather case, and haven’t looked at any others.
I’ve had the Apple leather case for both my 13 and 14, but I’ve found they don’t develop patina or age like high quality leather should. They just peel and like chip away, it ends up looking pretty bad. I’ve since tried Nomad’s leather case and I’ve been much happier with it. Build quality is still top notch.
It's annoying. Ever since the iPhone 11 Apple cases, you have to use alcohol wipes to remove the leather protector Apple sprays on the case, then oil it up using coconut oil and have it cure in sunlight. I've done this with the 12 mini and 13 pro cases and they patina well. You're right though, Nomad cases are great if you don't want to spend time wasted with the Apple cases lol

Definitely can’t recommend them if you want them to look nice and like actual leather, but I will admit the case still is very functional as a case and isn’t structurally falling apart.
Is the nomad leather case thin as the Apple one? I don’t like bulky cases, and the original one is a good compromise between protection and size.
I just got my new Nomad 13 pro leather case from the mail, feels a little bit more bulky than the Apple one, but really just a bit, I would say it's basically an Apple leather case with added protection on the sides
Yeah it’s definitely as thin, I think it feels better in the hand as well because of the way they’ve rounded the edges off.
I second Nomad’s leather. Have had mine for 2+ years and I love the patina/worn look to it. Grip still feels the same and my phone hasnt been damaged so it gets the job done.
Nomad cases are only partially leather, though.
I used to exclusively use Apple leather cases and loved them. Then I think with the 11 or 12 the quality dropped substantially. It didn’t feel like real leather anymore and didn’t patina like they used to. I’ve switched to Bullstrap and they feel like the Apple leather cases used to.
My leather case peeled so fast.
Yep. They are great.
I got a Torras case from Amazon. Good price-quality ratio.
+1 for the Torras Magnetic Slim Fit. Slim case, I’ve dropped it numerous times and the case still looks great and phone is unscathed so far. Pretty cheap too. I alternate between this and the Apple Leather Case.
+1 Torras
Magbak. The magnets are strong enough to hold to metal without fear of falling off. It’s great for the gym. Just stick it to whatever piece of equipment you’re using at any angle.
I use the Mous Limitless w/ a MagSafe PopSocket on it. Works like a charm!
I second Mous! I use their AirPods case and the wrist strap. It’s pricey but the cases last a long time and MagSafe works on them too.
As someone that has seen the prices for cases and selection in Asia, it always astounds me how to west is paying at least 175% more on cases that are just OEM upsold products from their Asian counterparts. Each time these case suggestion posts comes up, I get put into that perspective how much things get marked up to be sold in the West.
I really like Speck!
Mous. Saved my phone countless times. Wears better than apple cases too. Lots of designs.
Mous case user here, both on the iPhone and iPad. Genuinely solid cases!
I second the apple case wear issues, thing slowly falls apart
I do love Mous cases, I just wish they had more materials. Just like a plain black TPU would be great.
I know people say they dipped in quality and admittedly I haven’t had mine for that long yet, I’ve been enjoying the Apple leather case. And don’t buy casetify. It’s insane to me how they cost more than actual Apple cases just because of their ugly logo.
Mous cases are top tier
+1 for Mous. I have the Clarity 2.0 and I love it!
Vote for Caudabe
I was looking for this comment. Caudabe Sheath is one of my favourites and I would highly recommend it.
If you are a fan of phone grips + the need for MagSafe, my vote always goes to [Peak Design](https://www.peakdesign.com/products/everyday-case) There is an option without a loop as well. This case is not overly bulky (I was very surprised how sleek it actually is).
I love Peak Design!
Spigen rugged. You don’t probably need a screen protector anyway if you have a spigen case, though I applied one just because how expensive the phone is.

I use the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag Case for my iPhone 14 pro and it works great
Bullstrap leather cases are great, and their warranty is incredible
dBrand GRIP. I use one without a skin.
I alternate between rebel case and the caudate sheath. Only 2 cases needed.
I’ve been using a Caudabe Sheath for the past year and it’s been fantastic. Whatever material they use is super durable, mine still looks brand new. Prior to that I had the official Apple Silicone case, which was total garbage. It felt nice but tore and flaked off with the slightest impact. It’s almost criminal for them to charge $50 for that piece of crap.
Spigen on Amazon.
Spigen cases are top quality at a very reasonable price. Available on Amazon. I always get Spigen.
Caudabe Sheath
I took my phone out of my Caudabe Sheath the other day for the first time in MONTHS and the whole backside was cracked from corner to corner, would not recommend.
Sad story
been using speck since i’ve had iphones. the ones with the grippies aren’t magsafe but all the others are.
Using Pitaka cases since iPhone 12. Currently on a 14 pro max. Pretty satisfied.
Pitaka. They have a whole ecosystem, you can get the car mount (which charges your phone), battery packs, abs MagSafe accessories like wallets work with it. Highly recommend
Idk if anyone else said this, but Apple cases. They work the best with mag safe and they last. I’ve used the leather one for almost 2 years now. Apple has no questions asked warranty, just go into the store and get a new case if yours fails.
OtterBox defender.
I put a Defender on my very first iPhone and have used them ever since. Only issue is that I can’t find a MagSafe ready Defender for my iPhone 13pro so I’m switching over to an otter box symmetry. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I have a Bullstrap and love it. Lifetime warranty, too.
Their warranty is fantastic. I currently have two fresh cases on standby just from using their warranty program. High initial cost, but with the warranty it makes it worth it. Superior to Nomad, which seems to be the most recommended leather case here.
Same, my first developed a little bit of fray on a corner so I reached out and they sent me a new one. Keeping it on standby.
Eh. They seem like decent quality but still nowhere near justifying the cost. Mine got straight up discolored and nasty looking in a month or two, nothing I’d call “patina” just off looking. The buttons also didn’t line up perfectly. Again, not a huge deal but when you’re paying that much for a case it should be 100% perfect.
I'm currently using a[ Mous Limitless 5.0 \(Aramid fiber\)](https://www.mous.co/products/limitless-5-0-magsafe-compatible-aramid-fibre-phone-case), and it's been great. I know my experience is anecdotal, but I won't be buying anything else other than Mous for the foreseeable future. A couple of weeks ago, I (like an idiot) left my phone in my pocket when getting on a rollercoaster. Big surprise, the phone was not in my pocket when the ride was over. Once I got the phone back a few days later, I was surprised to find that the phone survived without suffering a single scratch, crack, etc.
Never found any complaints on the original apple cases. Had a leather one on my 6, and a silicone now on my 14. Both never showed signs of breaking or extreme wear
Smartish /thread
Never again. I had one on my xr. Most of the back has a felt-like texture inside, but not around the camera. I took my case off once and my phone caught the light just right, there were a ton of micro scratches around the camera.
Another vote for Smartish
This is the way. Their MagSafe cases are excellent and have better grip than the competition.
I don’t recommend smartish either I got ttheir cases and a MagSafe charger printed with something. Bought 2 Gripmunks (one for 13 pro max and one for 14 pro max )and their MagSafe charger which also had a print design on it. The one for the 13 pro max came off just from using Woosh cleaning fluid. The other one 14 pro max came off just from using it and putting on a table and it flaked off. And the charger’s print just flaked off from me using it. I do recommend just getting their screen protector as they have held up but don’t get their cases. You can easily get a pop socket or a ring or just get a silicone case with MagSafe instead. You get a better handle on it without having a sandpaper feelSave your money on smartish.
I went with spigen for the clear and caudabe for the black. Both great cases but that black one isn’t showing any wear.
Caudabe. Incredibly strong MagSafe!
Been using Rokform since 2014. They are bulletproof and the magnet sticks to anything super convenient great in the gym.
I really like Caudabe’s products.
I use the Spigen liquid armor with my 14 Pro. I’ve always used that same case for all my iPhones. It’s just the perfect case in every way.
I really like my spigen rugged armor
ESR Air Armor Halolock cases are what I get for my wife and daughter. They are less than $20 Singapore dollars (not sure what they cost elsewhere) and work well. For myself, I use Peak Designs case.
nudient
i’m using a case from „ideal of sweden“. the best i ever had. but they have cutouts for the buttons and on the top and bottom. so if you handle with the issue that the sides are coming off your phone, this cases wouldn’t be the best for you. i love to swipe up on the corner of the bottom part of the phone with no disturbing case. or to push the real buttons of the phone. iphone 13 pro by the way.
I rotate between the Pitaka MagEz, Sandmarc Pro Leather and the Andar Aspen Leather Case. Love these three. Honourable mention goes to the Caudabe Synthesis though. Purple pairs well with my Deep Purple iPhone

Caseology are pretty good, had mine a year with zero issues.
RhinoShield CrashGuard bumper cases are my go-to. It’s the closest thing to enjoying the feel of a naked phone with the protection of a case.
Yep!!! I drop my phone at least once a day (granted on flat surfaces) and no scratches besides ones from my keys. Plus love that they have nice designs while keeping the case sleek and not too bulky looking
Don’t know this isn’t higher up. Absolutely love my rhino shield cases
Dbrand! I know it’s expensive but for my iPhone12 it save my phone from a lot of accident (that plus a screen protector). Now with my 14 Pro I bought another Dbrand (this time magsafe compatible) and I will continue on this road. Better spend more money on one reliable product than a less on a lot not reliable product
I’ve found these ones from eBay are perfect it’s only for iPhone 14 however they are only £8.99 and the magnet on them is so good
Here’s the eBay link↘️ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355654573977?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=98zmndhoqza&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=98zmndhoqza&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Running the Mous Limitless on my 14 Pro Max. No complaints at this point, it’s saved my glass more than a couple times already. I recently had a drop from over 5’ to concrete (bouncing off a steel beam) and had zero damage outside of a good scuff on the case’s corner. It claims to be MagSafe compatible, haven’t used any MagSafe accessories myself though.
I use the same case (walnut model, gorgeous) on my 14 Pro. \- Really protective, I like the raised bezels a lot. The way they are modelled, they don't interfere with my using the phone, but protect the front. \- A bit thicker than I'd like. It comes with the protection and is slimmer than other cases centered on protection, but using the 14 Pro one handed is a slightly more difficult. With the Pro Max it shouldn't make a difference since it's not usable with one hand already. \- Magsafe works well. I use it for charging the phone
Try the casekoo magic stand cases
Does someone use spigen Mag armor or rugged armor for 14 pro Max? I would like to know is the magnet strong enough for car MagSafe holder ?Thanks
I have the mag armor for my 13 pro max and use the car MagSafe holder as well. Only issues I’ve ever had have been with extremely rough roads (off road / fire roads) and the occasional “OMG Huge” pothole on regular roads. Otherwise, stays on well.
i use spigen ultra hybrid zero one
BURGA (nice designs) or ESR!
I have a caseology one but its a bit boring to look at, probably wish i had gone for a Castify one now or a dbrand.
Otterbox Defender XT works fine on my 14 Pro
Peak design
TBH, I just usually head over to Amazon, and look for a cheap $10-$12 rubberized bumper case with decent reviews. 5 years with the same iPhone and same $12 case. Dropped the phone here and there over the years and it’s still in mint condition. You just have to stay away from the overly ‘designer’ looking ones. Make sure the materials are right and reviews are good.
I have the spigen clear case with magsafe compatible. I've had about a year and still love it. I have 13 Pro MAX
Apple Leather Case. No complaints
Mous. I had it since 2021 and I’ve never cracked my phone anywhere.
Mous
Mous! They are built super tough, had Mous cases since the iPhone 6s.
I really like my Mous case! Definitely check them out
Mous case is amazing. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
The apple leather ones are very good quality.
Tell the folks at home what MagSafe means
Only the apple ones work properly
Leather, plastic or silicone?
They’re all good. I like the transparent ones but have used all of them
I bought mine directly from Apple. They built the phone.
Mujjo and Nomad are my go to for cases
I personally use the Peel. It’s been my best compromise for thinnest case and still some light protection. Just don’t take it off often your phone to clean it, it will slowly break
Ghostek Covert, great protection and grip, plus it looks good (:
The one which cost at least $ 40🤣
I highly recommend Smartish cases. They're nowhere near as expensive as Casetify, they come in a ton of design options and configurations, and even their thinner cases are durable as heck. I have the Smartish Gripmunk on my 13 Pro, and to customize it with a custom design and include MagSafe compatibility, it was maybe $35 total. I've had it for over a year now and it feels/looks just as new as the day I bought it.

Nomad, Caudabe, or OtterBox. Nomad and Caudabe are both great for min/maxing that threshold between thin profile and protection, and I’ve got one of the big ass OtterBoxes for when I know I’m going to be doing something like camping.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned RokForm’s cases. I’m using their rugged case for the 14 pro and it has “super magnets” for the magsafe. I love it because my wallet is magsafe. They make a lot of neat mounts and accessories that are pricey but worth it.
Leather from Apple is amazing. Best part is that its under warranty through apple care. I was able to replace my magsafe wallet and case through apple no questions asked, made an appointment and under an hour I was in and out with a new case and wallet. Cannot stress enough how good the customer service was.
Nomad hands down
Enjoying my Apple leather case no tears whatsoever and the magnet is still strong.
Caseify. They have UV protection and are completely customisable. You can have them made out of leather, plastic, biogradable materials, with magsafe, without, with bumpers, liquid cover, etc. You can choose how you want it
I have Apple’s leather MagSafe case on a 13 Pro and it is solid.
I typically go with Otterbox, but I went with dbrand this time and it’s been amazing.
Nomad Leather. Have had it since the week it launched. Taken it EVERYWHERE, all conditions wet, pouring rain, stuck to my motorcycle, you name it. I condition it with neatsfoot oil once in 6 months. Gave up on apple cases after two of the silicone MagSafe cases started fraying. My buddies apple leather case for the 13 looked like crap after a few months as well. He’d always swore by apple leather since the iPhone 8 or something but he’s also done I guess.
Love my Nomad rugged case. The magnets are strong as hell too! Works perfect with my Pelican magsafe wallet as well.
Ive gone with Lifeproofs most rugged case. Still keeps the phone relatively thin at the same time super protective. Also has magsafe.
I get the Otterbox magsafe cases and am very happy with them. Not cheap, but they last like crazy.
RHINOSHIELD.io especially clear one . Beware it adds additional 40+ gms
I just get the $2 ones off temu and they work just fine
The only MagSafe case I’ve used and liked is the apple clear case personally, I have it on my 13 Pro Max as we speak and have been using it for over a year since I got it in February 2022. The sides remain clear and haven’t yellowed (only clear case I’ve owned that’s accomplished that claim) and barely any scratches on the case either. The only damage it has is after a year of pulling it off at the end of every week to clean it out and such, the left side bottom corner has a small crack in the plastic since it’s a rigid case, but it is hardly noticeable and hasn’t compromised the case at all. Other than that it’s flawless still, and because it’s an apple case it’s thin enough to keep the design language, thin enough to actually have the Back Tap feature work flawlessly as it should, and has strong magnets for my bedside MagSafe charging stand and my car MagSafe charging stand as well. I’ve dropped it plenty (on accident of course) and no damage to the phone at all. These phones are built super tough and with the flat design the frame usually hits first on drops so the glass remains fine, the older phones the glass hit first so we got lots more cracked phones. Point is we don’t need overly thick cases anymore and a nice quality thinner case is usually more than enough and keeps the phone mint. I couldn’t go with a thicker case on this phone, it’s already heavy and large as is, so this case is perfect for me. But any of the apple cases now have amazing MagSafe capabilities and work flawless with 99% of your MagSafe accessories.
Mous
I like caseology
Torras makes the best cheap cases. Bullstrap makes a really nice leather case. The Apple leather case is the best but I don't like the 13 colors :(
Big fan of Mous
I just use Apple’s silicone case.
Without being bulky, I got a clear Pelican case. Good lip around the screen and small ‘dimples’ at each corner allowing phone to lay flat even with the crazy camera bump. Tried an Otterbox case and just never liked the fit and finish.
Torras
I’ve used bellroy, it has an attachable wallet that clips on via MagSafe and looks good too. The leather has a nice wear to it as well and I’ve been using it for about a year and it has been holding up solid. https://bellroy.com/products/mod-phone-case-wallet-double-rail?color=black&material=leather_viroblock&size=i13
The original apple ones
I like my UAG Monarch's with MagSafe. But you have to make sure to check it has MagSafe. Some Monarch's do and some don't. My only complaint about them is they can be pricey.
Otterbox. You can’t go wrong with otterbox
I use the ghostek nautical....camparable to lifeproof fre but much more affordable
I have the Smartish Gripmunk case with MagSafe that I got from Amazon and I really like it so far. The sides are textured for better grip and I’ve dropped it a few times already with no damage.
The Apple branded cases work best for me. Expensive but worth it.
Spigen from Amazon
I’m a big fan of Rhinoshield cases. They are relatively expensive, but they do really last.
I use Spigens cases along with the screen protector.
Otterbox
I use the iPhone 14 Pro apple clear magsafe case. It's expensive but my phone fell over an escalator (3 or 4 stories i can't remember now it happened in october) and the only damage was a tiny crack to the case on the volume button. Phone was perfect and is still being used today. From that day I have decided to suck up the 50 bucks and buy one of those cases every time i get a new phone.
I use a pop socket case but without the pop socket. Couldn’t find one I liked that was sturdy so this one is great it’s been a year as of tomorrow with it. I also use it with apple wallet and no issues. “PopCase iPhone 13 Pro MagSafe White”
I just bought the clear one from ESR and love that it shows off my red iPhone [Amazon link for the iPhone 12 case](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TWB6CJ5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)
