And it’s half the price.īuttons: The buttons work fine. The Gripmunk case comes in a variety of colors, and you can get it with or without MagSafe, but it’s the clear one (“Nothin to hide”) with MagSafe that stands out, in part because Apple’s Clear Case has such a stiff feel and slick texture. It’s not quite as finely crafted as Apple’s own case but fits really well, and the textured sides make it a lot easier to grip. All Apple’s cases support MagSafe, meaning that they have a ring of magnets in them to help MagSafe accessories stick on tightly.Ĭraftsmanship: An alternative to Apple’s Clear Case that is in some ways better than the official Apple product, and certainly less expensive. The only real problem is that the cutout for the Lightning port can be a bit of a tight fit on the larger third-party Lightning connectors.Ĭharging: We had no problem with any wireless chargers we tried using Apple’s cases, with the obvious exception that the huge camera bump on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max can sometimes get in the way. The mute switch cutout is quite small, but tapered and perfectly positioned, so it’s not hard to use. You can’t go wrong with the official Apple cases, but they’re not specialized–neither ultra-thin nor extra rugged, and with no special features other than MagSafe.īuttons: The buttons work flawlessly, retaining the full clicky feel and even the size and shape of a naked iPhone’s buttons. And over time, the wear will make it look even better. It doesn’t feel “too leathery”…there’s a nice firmness and rigidity to it.

The leather case is nicest, if you don’t mind real leather. They’re all top notch, but a little pricey. Craftsmanship: Apple sells three of its own iPhone 13 cases: this leather one, the Silicone Case, and the Clear Case.
