Hi! I just bought my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I’m upgrading from my beloved iPhone 8. I’ve used the Defender series for a decade now, and I can drop the phone and pick it up like nothing happened. I read scary reviews about the latest models, as in the brand is not the same, or at least this model ( Defender) isn’t . What’s the current equivalent of the older quality cases ?

Hey all,

      I finally got a 13 Pro Max in Alpine Green. I wanted that color since its release. I’m trying to figure out the right case for me. 

      I’m looking for a tough case (drop protection), with strong MagSafe connection, good grip and that isn’t slippery from a company with good customer service or a warranty- preferably that shows off or accents the green of my phone. I know that is asking a lot of a case, but that’s what I’m trying to find.

      In the past I have used LifeProof, Catalyst, Incipio and Speck cases. LifeProof broke in the corners and over time the sides cracked. Catalyst was great but I didn’t have MagSafe at the time. Speck was good but TPU and soft touch materials peeled and the edges cracked. Incipio (Duo present case) has been good but is one of the bulkier cases I’ve had and has started to get a few cracks.  I’m hard on cases and every one that I’ve had was replaced out of necessity at some point- several by manufacturers.

      Right now I’m looking at Casetify (Ultra Impact or Bounce), Incipio grip, Mous Limitless 4.0, Speck Presidio2 Grip or Perfect Clear, Phone Rebel gen 3 (Rebel, Frosted or clear) or the Catalyst Vibe. 

      Any input on the cases or suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks
