One of my colleagues bought the iPhone 11 Pro two years ago. Like most other people, his iPhone went straight from the original box into a case, not just any case, but an Apple case. It was one of those wrap-around cases that even had a wobbly layer of plastic over the display.
The iPhone was protected well and would have survived a fall from a skyscraper window. At the same time, it also looked like a $50 smartphone imported directly from China.
So I’ve always been a big fan of Apple silicone and leather cases. These are expensive, but they look good and have a high-quality feeling. That’s why I ordered a case made of leather and a case made of silicone again this year for my iPhone 13 pro max.
The first impression was quite positive; a short time later, the blow followed. Keep reading to see my observations about the two kinds of cases and the one best to choose as my iPhone 13 pro max case.
The silicone feels better and attracts less dust.
The silicone iPhone 13 pro max case feels familiar. I think the material feels a bit more “velvety” than its predecessors. The case still attracts dust, but not as much as it used to for the previous versions.
The silicone has an excellent grip, and the available colors are individual and beautiful to look at. The openings in the case are a perfect fit. The hard plastic ring designed to protect the camera is slightly higher than last year. The edges also protrude somewhat so that you can safely place the iPhone upside down on the table.
The leather case feels great.
The leather case can hardly be surpassed in terms of feel. The case is scarcely bulky, and the leather feels really high quality. The Apple logo is stamped on the back, and the buttons are metal. In terms of haptics and optics, in my opinion, it is the only case with which the iPhone 13 pro max feels even better.
Here, too, the camera is protected by a ring made of hard plastic. The ring is again slightly higher than last year. In both cases, the iPhone 13 pro max wobbles somewhat when it is placed on the table. The edges of the leather case also protrude slightly. You can also put the iPhone 13 pro max upside down on the table.
Of course, MagSafe should not be missing!
Of course, both cases have built-in magnets for Magsafe. I’ve found that a case allows MagSafe accessories to hold onto the iPhone a little better.
The big BUT!
Unfortunately, both cases have a big problem. They don’t stick reliably to the smartphone. The lower-left corner regularly slips out of the case in everyday use.
The problem lies in the design and is not unknown to Apple. Customer support was familiar with the issue and immediately took the cases back. I’m not alone with the problem either. Similar reports are piling up on the internet. Apparently, not all cases are affected by the situation.

Furthermore, in order to overcome the big but of these cases not sticking well, NEW CASE has carefully selected the ones designed to hold your phone tightly. So if you are shopping for your iPhone 13 pro max case at NEW CASE, you will be free from the challenges other users, and I encountered.
