Apple iPhone 13 Leather Case with MagSafe - Midnight

This is the best case that I have found for my iPhone. It fits well but not too tight. It feels secure in my hand, doesn't slip, and provides excellent drop protection. The only negative is that after a year the silicone will likely, like my previous case, start to flake and peel off its metal frame at the corners. I am willing to live with this because it is otherwise such a good case. I've returned others I have tried that are too slippery or give off a chemical smell.

Fits perfectly. I like the softness of the case. However, like others mentioned. the silicon started peeling after 1 year.

The reason I wrote "perfect texture" is because the leather is neither too slippery nor too sticky. Silicone cases can't slide in my pocket easily. Plastic cases slide all over my car console with my erratic driving behaviors (from Boston). If I'm stopping short because some idiot in front of me didn't want to kill a squirrel then I don't want my phone flying out of the little spot in front of my shifter. This case doesn't slide easily. If I'm trying to slide my phone in my jeans pocket after a number 2 and it's sticking to the denim and won't slide in, while I'm trying to zip up and wash my hands, well that's a problem. Leather is great. It's classy and has the Apple logo so everyone can see how special I am with my Apple stuff. It has the magnet inside so it charges on the magnet charger no problem. I'd rate this even higher if I could but not as high as my drink glasses because this doesn't get me drunk.

Absolutely hammered camping, I set my phone down on top of the bundle of wood next to the fire. Cavalierly tossed the entire bundle in as my buddy and I passed the whiskey and chatted about weird stuff for a MINIMUM of 5 minutes. Suddenly my brain decided to join the party - “your phone is in the fire”. I glance down at the fire that I recently added 4 logs, a plastic wrap, and an iPhone 13 to. There it was nestled up against a giant wall of fire, resting on a glowing red bed of coals. The phone itself, appeared to be engulfed in flames. I turn to my buddy and say - my phone is in the fire. He says take it out. I say it’s too late. He says take it out. (See pic for what a real hero looks like). Now I’ve researched after the fact enough to say don’t do what I did - but I grabbed it out of the fire. Yes it was hot af, and yes I burned my fingers. I throw it in the sand. It is in fact very much still on fire. So - I tell him oh well it’s too late. He says put it out. “Fine!” I stomp the life out of my phone (see picture for tread marks on the case). Thoroughly distraught, I give up. 5 minutes later I summon the courage to investigate the carnage. Case melted. Screen protector MELTED. I peel off the case and screen protector (shoutout ZAGG). The phone is literally un damaged. Like maybe even better than new the fire must have cleaned some stuff off of it. iPhone screen suddenly pops on saying temperature warning too hot (we all had a laugh at this). Then the Home Screen pops up! Idk what to say other than this thing is magic. Odd to think how many other ways I’ve damaged my phone and screen (with this case), yet it is fire and stomping proof. Anyway - I’m pretty jazzed up about this experience.

Apple's aesthetics are always excellent and this case looks sleek and minimal, the transparent back allows me to show off the actual $1k+ phone I bought (hah). Prior to this I had been using a Casetify (non-Magsafe) case and liked the grippiness and protectiveness but missed the Magsafe, so decided to try Apple's own case. The Magsafe is way stronger than other cases I've tried and obviously stronger than the non-Magsafe case, so there is that one very big plus. That said, this case is just too slippery and doesn't seem to offer much in the way of actual protection to make me feel comfortable using it. I ended up returning it because dropping the phone is not worth stronger Magsafe or aesthetics and going back to the Casetify. This case just seems in a weird middle ground area. People who are already confident enough that they won't drop their phones and wouldn't mind the slipperiness of the case already subscribe to the "just don't drop your phone and you won't need a case" way of life and wouldn't spend the $40 asked for this case. People wanting protection would be put out by the lack thereof and the slipperiness. So is this just for people who both don't care about protection and yet would still want to use a case for some indescribable reason? It's a bit bizarre. Even at the $25 I paid for an Amazon Warehouse used model, this case wasn't worth it to me. Pros: + pretty comfortable in the hand + looks very nice (as expected) + Magsafe is strong and works well Cons: - very slippery. I defy you to use this for any length of time without it slipping out of your hand, especially if you're on the go - minimal protection. That seems to be the general tradeoff for minimal cases, but this case really doesn't seem like it'd do much besides protect from scratches/scuffs - pricey for what it is (of course)

Really good product

I have a love/hate relationship with these iphone cases. They are silky smooth and beautiful. Made to fit perfectly and doesn't add any extra weight. However, they rip so easily. They start to peel and it's all downhill from there. If you're like me and can't stand having an ugly phone case, I would think twice before paying this price. It's not worth it in my opinion. It also doesn't provide the best phone protection due to it's more aesthetic design. I love this case until it starts to break and unfortunately, it happens way to frequently for me to keep repurchasing it.

THE GOOD: This slim clear case does what I wanted it for - to offer decent drop protection while being thin and clear to show off the iPhone Red. It does not add too much weight or bulk to my iPhone 13. It also does a good job supporting magsafe attachments like wallets. Also important is that is it snug but relatively easy to put on and remove, and the wide open slot at the bottom means you don't cover up speakers or mic, and it's easy to plug in your lightning cable. The case also does a decent job of being hard to scratch and claims that it won't yellow. The case is a bit slippery, which makes it easy to slip into a front pocket, but see below... THE BAD: Apple cases are not cheap, compared to the competition. It's also a horrible fingerprint magnet, and is slippery. Easy to slip out of your hand. See below on how to fix that... HOW TO IMPROVE IT: spend a few bucks and get some phone grip tape or stickers like Dragon Grip available on Amazon. Simply putting a few small stickers no the edge greatly improves grip on the phone. You won't regret it.
