iPhone Cases for the iPhone 11 Pro Max: A Comprehensive Review
We've recently had the opportunity to test and review various iPhone cases designed specifically for the new iPhone 11 Pro Max, and we're excited to share our findings with you. In this article, we'll delve into each case and explore its unique features, design, and functionality.
First up is the executive sleeve case from a US-based company. This case is extremely thin and simple, making it perfect for those who want a minimalist approach to iPhone protection. The leather feels natural and high-quality, and the company behind this product has an excellent reputation for producing top-notch accessories. The case works seamlessly with Apple's leather or silicone cases, allowing you to charge your phone through the Lightning port when it's inside the sleeve.
One of the standout features of this case is its versatility. It's not just a basic case; it's also suitable for outdoor activities like hiking or camping. The case comes with a carabiner attachment point on top, allowing you to attach a keychain, water bottle, or other accessories. This feature makes it an excellent choice for those who want added protection without sacrificing functionality.
Next up is the camera bag case from the same company. As its name suggests, this case is designed specifically for photographers and content creators. The case features a pocket on top for storing lenses, a slot along the back for inserting your phone, and a series of small lens pouches at the front. This makes it an ideal choice for those who want to protect their iPhone while still being able to access their camera gear.
The camera bag case is also incredibly versatile, with a built-in tripod strap that allows you to attach it to a Joby tripod or any other tripod system. The strap is adjustable and can be secured with a buckle, making it easy to attach and detach the case from your phone. We're impressed by the company's attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Another popular option for iPhone 11 Pro Max cases is the wallet-style case from Bhandar. This case has a more affordable price point than some of the other options on the market, which makes it an attractive choice for those who want a high-quality case without breaking the bank. The leather feels slightly plasticky, but this is a minor complaint compared to its overall quality.
The wallet-style case features a magnetic removable design, allowing you to easily attach and detach your phone from the case. This feature is perfect for those who want a seamless iPhone experience without sacrificing protection. The case also comes with a 3M adhesive strip on the back, which allows you to attach it to your car or other surface.
We were impressed by Bhandar's attention to detail and commitment to quality in this case. While some may find it slightly less premium than other options, its affordability makes it an excellent choice for those who want a high-quality case without the hefty price tag.
Last but not least, we have the bandolier-style case from Sonic. This case is unlike any other on our list, with a unique design that features a small pouch at the back for storing cards, cash, and IDs. The case comes with a 3M adhesive strip on the back, which allows you to attach it to your car or surface.
The bandolier-style case is incredibly versatile, with a strap attachment point that allows you to detach it from your phone when needed. This feature makes it an excellent choice for those who want a convenient and secure way to carry their essentials while still protecting their iPhone. We're impressed by Sonic's creativity and commitment to innovation in this case.
In conclusion, we've tested and reviewed some of the best iPhone cases designed specifically for the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Each case has its unique features, design, and functionality, making it an excellent choice for those who want a high-quality iPhone experience without sacrificing protection.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enpeople use cases for all different reasons are there for style protection or function here we are going to go through 70 different cases for the iPhone 11 Pro Max and I implore you to check out the entire video because we mix and match the order that they're in so in no particular order here are our favored cases for the 11pro max starting off with spigen speakings got three for us to check out the rugged armor the ultra hybrid and the thin fit basically varying degrees of protection and the basic one is still that clear one which is very similar to Apple's but through the excited us the most where the thin fit and the rugged armor this is the rugged armor case it's a very nice has the Apple logo exposed there on the back so you can still tell that it is an iPhone and has additional protection around the corners compared to the other speaking cases that we have this one here is the thin fit it's a very thin shell you can see it's got a little bit of elevated bump around the camera though the bottom and the top of the phone aren't exposed of course all the corners and the sides are covered and the back it has a little bit of a soft touch finish which gives it a good grip in the hand while it is a very thin case it still feels very easy to hold and it's not gonna fly out so three for us to check out but we also wanted to take a look at their Glasser easy-fit screen protectors these come in a 2-pack and what's really nice about these is they come in these easy assemble trays so there are two in the box two different trays if you take your phone you put it into the tray and it aligns perfectly gone are the days where you'd have to kind of line up the screen protector yourself and you might have to reapply or something no these you literally just put your phone in here apply some pressure and it basically just adheres itself and it's aligned a spot on so it's a really cool stuff from speaking this year all things we've kind of seen before but updated here for the iPhone 11 pro max moving on we've got bodyguards the two cases we are going to be checking out today are the momentum case which is this green one here which tend to be kind of our sleeper favorites of the bunch then we have the Pro ace pro is a little bit more minimalistic and there's a clear design and comes in a few different colors when you've got those on your phone you can see your phone right through the back including the Apple logo it's a little bit elevated around the camera bump there it covers both the top and the bottom of the phones completely and you can see the accented color along the sides tops all the edges of the phone it's kind of a nice little accent too late' the new iphone line here is momentum case which comes with that little lanyard we kinda like the lanyards they're really cool and they're pretty handy if you're taking photos a little bit of a precarious position because it's definitely more of an outside case and not like the leather ones that tend to you fancier more indoor and less rugged phone goes into it really easily bodyguards say this was based off of performance sneakers I mean kind of see that the back has this kind of foam design it feels really neat and it was honestly kind of rubber favorites that we weren't expecting going into this video one case we were really excited to try out was this one here from element case this is their black ops elite case and it has a whole lot of things going for it cases usually have one or two main features that they like to tout like fingerprint resistant and drop proof and all those kind of things this is a huge laundry list of features going down the back between the materials the assembly and the other things that are included with this case even the box is unlike anything else we've seen in this video in our roundup so this is definitely something that is set apart from the rest of the cases here so we have the case on the right hand side but it also includes two other things in the box this little keychain lanyard in this little element case box which contains a few extra screws and a quick wrench you can use or a screwdriver basically to assemble and disassemble the case so first up looking at those included accessories it has the element case logo there on the top of the actual clip on the bottom is a keychain which can be removed and you can use the little cord to connected to the bottom corner of the case itself this may is made out of four feet of paracord and there is a little lighter little Flint there in the center used to start fires if you ever need an emergency kind of a standard paracord keychain here then we have the quick access screwdriver and two screws of each type as backups for assembling and disassembling the case so here's the case itself it looks and feels amazing there is a clip here on the back and that clip can easily be removed it just simply slides up but allows you to easier to clip this into your pocket you don't need some big holster or anything like that just this clip and it is made of stainless steel powder coated black and it can be removed if you're not gonna use it but is it very thin well it's still on the case there is a built-in kickstand which is perfect for propping up your phone and watching videos you can almost not even tell that it is in there it's very thin on the side we have the buttons which are anodized in a different color than the rest of the aluminum they are very tactile with that knurling on the outside so you can feel them easily and they are very precise and accurate as you're pressing them they hit the buttons on the inside on your actual phone and they're very quick it's not like the rubber or the leather covered ones that can feel a little bit spongy that you're not actually clicking the buttons so really good work on the buttons on this case there are a lot of different materials in this case between the stainless steel these outside edges here are anodized aluminum and they spider right on and are screwed into place so I'm going to get a kind of rubberized frame and then the back of it is this custom hardened glass composite doesn't feel like glass I can shatter anything but it is very rigid we have them the rubberized around it and then the metal frames going around the edges it is very easy to take on and off but it is a little bit odd that you have to use the screws to put your phone in and out of this so it's not something you want to take off quickly if you need to this is one of the most protective and stunning cases in a retired lineup we were really excited to try this one out so make sure you check out this one at the link in the description next up is pad and quill pad and quill like to send their actual cases out in the small little cardboard paper envelopes that are actually wax-sealed breaking the seal open we can get inside and see the case itself which in this case is one of the a light-brown of folio style cases for the iphone 11 pro max there is an elastic band that wraps around to keep everything closed up together on the bottom of the back you can see the pad and quill logo has been pressed into a leather there's also that and sign pressed into the spine of the case itself opening it up we have a hardshell case on the right hand side and several card pockets on the left they also see the different color leather on the interior has a big clear ID slot there as well as for card slots above it along the back you can see the camera cutout is nice and solid it does get a little bit weird when you have that strap in the way but you do have to remove the strap anyway when you're accessing the camera because you have to open up the case this does not have the magnets inside of which means it's not going to open and close or lock and unlock the phone when you open or close the case but otherwise quality is top-notch next we have a snake hive out of London this is another folio style card case I have a few different than unique aspects to it we have the plum color here which is not one we see often it has a various soft finish to the outside of the leather when you open things up you get past that magnetic clasp but holds everything closed we have a silicon shell on the inside now that you look at silicon shell there's nothing wrong with it but it is a little bit harder to get your case into or your phone into the case it has to kind of stretch around the phone itself but it is clear so you can see the color of your iPhone behind the case the camera cutout works just fine you can easily access the camera including the wide-angle lens about anything and getting in the way and your phone can be propped up to be used in video mode now this clasp does seem to kind of fold a forward a little bit and get in the way so make sure you pull that back we wish there is maybe a second magnet that would hold it behind the case when watching a movie or something there's a pocket on the inside as well several card slots but no ID pocket in this one there is a stitching line to cut out towards the top of the front of the case I'm gonna take phone calls while the case is actually closed so you don't have to fold it behind and there is the little snake I have logo on that bottom right corner on the front of the case moving things along our next case in the line up is a from Griffin and we have two from their survivor line the endurance case right here up front which has 11 feet of drop protection and still keeps a relatively slim body and then we have the strong case which kind of ironically has only 10 feet of drop protection in comparison though it is a little bit later in slimmer and then the other case is so here is that endurance case has a frosted back a couple different materials here kind of joining together it gives you a little more flexibility on the sides and that's solid back let me still see a little bit of the color and the Apple logo through the case when it is on your phone here is the strong case very similar to a lot of the other clear shells that are out there but had a little bit more of a frost inside to it so clear back and frosted sides and have a little bit of a pattern to it too a little bit different than kind of the boring ones that are just completely clear like apples and some of the other minimalistic ones we do like some of the little touches on the endurance case such as the color matched buttons so while the outsides are actually the darker color the buttons are a lighter gray gives it a little bit more of a standout nature and they're still very tactile so you can feel them easily the lightning connector also has a large cutout so even larger cords will fit in there without any issue for many years no man has been known for their leather cases sourced from the Queen tannery in Chicago and this year they have of course just updated their line for the new iPhone 11 Pro max but we have a new style case to go along with their leather rugged case now the leather ones are great and they wear over time they look amazing all their cases they feel very solid they offer a lot of drop protection have a very soft interior with that microfiber lining and still the leather ones are top-notch we really like their leather ones especially as they age but they're not water resistant so this new case that they came up with is their active leather case so it's leather it still has natural leather but it's been treated to be waterproof or water resistant so you can get this wet without it getting destroyed now the downside is it does not age as nicely so over time it's not going to develop such the nice patina that we get with the standard natural leather but it still feels great in the hand and it'll look great for a long period of time so if you're using your phone keys outside a lot and you might get it wet and you're worried about that and this is definitely one to consider like there are other cases they are made of TPU material for the rest of the case gives a good bumper and shield around the front of the lip so nothing can impact this screen and there is a little bit of a lip going around the camera so nothing's gonna damage the lenses when it's sat down on a table next we've got smartish murder sentence both the wallet Slayer and the grip Xilai case smart urge is always kind of a fun brand that always has a different look and feel to a lot of the other cases out there they're relatively actually they're very affordable cases and they have just kind of neat designs smart aspects to them so I really like this grip Xilai case you can see on the sides it has kind of this fingerprinting going allow around them and giving it really good grip and of course the wallets layer here just has the wrong spot here in the back unfortunately this one is not gonna work with wireless chargers it's too thick but the grip Zillah one will just fine and if you prefer to have that wallet with you then this is going to be a really nice option but again this group is illa one is kind of a really nice when it has a very simple streamlined design and I like those imprints down the side just makes it really easy to hold on to your phone and that this bright blue color is one that we really don't see all that often so it's a really nice differentiator from the other cases in this lineup speaking of colors though we have two of the neon cases the neon crystal palace cases from gear 4 they sent us both this bright blue one and this neon yellow these upper 13 feet of drop protection which is some of the highest on the list and they're not overly bulky like some of the more protective cases are they appear to be a bit of a to material design with a little bit of clear and that color material going together so as we actually take these fo and stick it on our phones you'll see there's a clear going around the edges with is a blue back or the neon yellow back there also very solid I thought they were gonna be a little more jelly and flexible but they are not as much as we thought which is clearly why they have more protection built in here then we might have initially expected now I do have these the midnight green iPhone 11 Promax which doesn't go as well with the green I mean it still goes pretty good do you still look really nice together the blue and the green looks very nice but I think would look even better with the Space Gray or with the silver of the iPhone 11 series this year Pelican is going all-out for the new iPhone 11 pro max we have several cases from Pelican to check out with a bunch of different features and styles including this portable power option that builds in wireless charging and an additional battery pack we have the traveler case here which is again something unique that we have not seen before so we're gonna get into this one with some of its cool aspects we have a little bit more standard cases they just have some fun designs when these grow cases they have a really nice texture going on the back very kind of bumpy and dimply there kind of fun cases to hold on to then getting a little bit more simpler with just this mogul case that has this break kind of color to it still transparent can still see the iPhone logo but gives you a pop of color alongside just a basic solid protective case you can see they go a little bit further by adding that glossy detail around the edges a little bit of a chrome accident around the edges and around the camera cutout here it's a little bit more than your standard just kind of poppy jelly case so here are the middle that road ones with this really fun texture it looks really cool it feels even cooler in the hand because a little bit of extra grip and it looks visually interesting it's not just a matte finish or a solid finish or glossy finish it just kind of mixes with the light and it just feels good to hold on to the phone you don't feel like you're going to drop it with this case on but it still is very thin and minimalistic it comes in this darker color and you also saw we have the lighter color that kind of frosted clear one to go with here is a very distinct case those their traveller case and it actually has this stitching down the sides which one gives it a unique look it's a bit dark green thread which matches our midnight green iPhone but it also gives additional grip so it's perfect little grip down the sides of the phone it looks kind of almost Native American very kind of hippie ish this is definitely a cool case we have not really seen too much before you can see it has protection all the way around including covering there at the bottom and it is made of leather along the back who here is their battery case at the battery case itself is a standard case that attaches magnetically to this battery pack it works with wireless charging obviously because this battery pack will charge the phone wirelessly just do that qi coil on the back of the phone hit the battery button there on turn that thing on and you can see the phone search charging right away it's kind of a good alternative to a standard battery case because you just pull this thing off when you don't need it and snap it on when you do the downside to it that we don't like is the battery itself charges over microUSB we really would have liked to see it USBC have anything at all so it is a downside but they're still sticking to micro-b UAG another fan favorite we've got two cases this year to check out including their plasma case which has that soft impact resistant core armor it is a very feather-light construction it looks pretty awesome here on our iPhone 11 pro max if I do say so ourselves it has a really cool texture to it just a lot going on looks very modern and different we also have an updated version of their monarch case there's so many different layers going on here different protective layers there is metal going on there's leather actually underneath everything there's a lot of different components to this and it adds a lot of protection to the phone we get requests for this case every single year so we're really to see that they've updated again for the iPhone 11 pro max while they do have screws on the corners just like the element case did the good thing is you don't actually have to remove them to put this case on and off next up we have a case mate we have the tough speckled the tough neon and the waterfall confetti another favorite that people love year-over-year these things do we're a little bit over time you'll get some bubbles in there but they still are kind of the fun case and it seems a little bit thinner this year than we've seen in years past this is the confetti version there's all sorts of waterfall cases that casemates put out just fun colors and interesting things going on rather than this your standard case we do like they're updated tough speckled here so has a frosted back and then the speckled appearance going down the sides it's a very minimalistic style case very simple but kind of just a unique aspect that we don't see a lot again and it looks pretty awesome on our iPhone tena or iPhone 11 pro max here regardless of which of these cases you like whether you like the confetti waterfall this tough speckled or the tough neon all three of these cases do come with ten feet of drop protection so a good drop protection they're a lot more than just standard from your hip and they do cover all edges of the phone you're not having any gaps that are open and there's a little bit lip going up around the camera so that the cameras are not gonna touch anything when they're laying down on a surface we've got Moshi coming up next with the ultra case in the over truer case both these are really top-notch I haven't given Moshi a lot of looks before but after these cases I'm definitely gonna start paying attention to them these work with their snap to mounting system which you can put in little metal plates there and they'll work with these magnetic mounts the back here is a very nicely textured with all these different triangles it looks very modern and cool we have an attachment here the lower right hand corner which connects it to this lanyard that comes in the box so you can use if you want to or detach it if you don't want it it has a round loop on here which is kind of a funky way to attach things but it's still again going a very modern with the design then we have the overture case from Moshi now it is just a standard leather case that looks very nice feels very good seems like a very solid leather shell case but what makes it different is it can then go from the standard case to a wallet folio and unlike the snake hive and the other ones that we've seen so far in this video it connects magnetically so you don't always have to use it this is huge because you can have just the case when you want the keys you can have a full wallet in a folio when you need that so it's pretty nice if you don't want that folio the whole time because the folio can get burdensome if you have to keep opening and closing when you're just in your home relaxing just keep the phone case on when you're in the home and when you head out attach the folio magnetically and you have your wallet and everything else with you the detail work here is very nice we don't mind the Moshi logo there on the front kind of a nice little accent silver accent to the black body a stitching work and the leather overall feels a very high quality in the premium we really like this case Moshi also has a nice eye on glass privacy cover so you can put this on your phone it'll protect your screen and give you a little bit of privacy so someone sitting next to you can't really see what's on your screen but you can see it perfectly clear here we have a tech 21 with their studio color series this is their lost in the woods into this dark green color is kind of a nice color to go with our midnight green iPhone now this is plant based they say so a partial portion of this is made out of recycled plant materials it's a very thin case but it still offers 8 feet of drop protection they've also integrated some antimicrobial properties into this case so as you're using it your phone keys can get really disgusting your phone can get disgusting by building into those antimicrobial properties to kind of repel those germs it's gonna keep your phone a little bit more sanitary overall a slim sleek case it offers good drop protection and smart features like being plant-based and adding those phantom crow Bo features it would not be a new iPhone if it didn't have a new book book in tow and 12 South did just that for this year came out with a new book book for the latest iPhones and they've kind of built in some new features here that mimic what we saw with Moshi by making things magnetic and getting rid of the kind of odd clipping mechanism that they had in years past we are not a fan of the removable case they used a series of clips on the inside of the book book to hold itself together and the magnetic option is a far better one in our opinion this fine as always has been updated for the latest one they never reuse a spine so here for the latest version just new design all around for the spine of the book there is a magnetic clasp that keep things together personally not a huge fan of the magnetic clasp but a few of them do have it here in this roundup it's not too much of a pain but it's not our favorite on the left-hand side we have three card slots and an ID slot here at the bottom so it was a large pocket to a store additional things like business cards or cash behind it and just like the Moshi case you can see we can simply pull off our magnetic showcase it works with wireless charging which is nice and there is a sellable leather back to the shell case so the shell case by itself looks great works with wireless charging we love it and then BOOM snap it in here to use with your book book when you take it on the go there cards cash ID and everything else that you need it does hold back which is very handy so you can prop it up to watch any movies or TV shows with your phone just another little nice thing we do like they thought of those they didn't get rid of those features when they went to the magnetic design there are diehard book book fans out there and we are sure they're going to be excited with the latest incarnation of 12 South's most famous iPhone case continue to chug along we have the grift to you this is an extremely slim case that has a unique way to hold on to your phone when you've got it in your hand you don't have to add on things to the back leg pop sockets it just automatically has that stuff built in get a soft interior lining again the super super thin shell of the keys here just snaps onto your phone you can see that stretchy silicone band that's built into the back it's kind of fun to play around with and you can easily slide your hand behind it in hold onto it when you're texting fish when you have a larger phone like this it can be a little bit awkward or wonky in your hand when you're holding it one handed so having that extra grip on the back is kind of clutch when you're moving around with us we aren't usually huge fans of plastic cases but this one does elevate it just a little bit we do like kind of a little accents they did the way they did the cutouts for the buttons that look kind of cool and make them extremely tactile when using them and you can't argue with how useful that grip is on the back now we move on to Rhino shield Ryan field we've got two different ones to check out today we have the solid suit and the stylist who comes in a few different I kind of let say finishes but not finishes we have two different versions of the sound suit we have the mod annex which is their really customizable system here and that's something that's really unique to Rhino shield from anyone else so here's the mod NX and it breaks up into three different parts you have the frame edge there on the left you have the frame which is kind of this middle part here and you can even take out the buttons and swatch out the buttons for different colors then you have the back panel so when you're setting this case up you can choose to buy one just a bumper system and I want the frame in the edge or do I want the edge bumper and I want the back covered as well so you've different options and there's different colors of all these pieces so you can mix and match truly what you want mix and match at the bumper your buttons and that edge or the backplate cover whatever you wanted you to customize it for your phone so a lot of different options out there with this modular system from rhino shield needless to say it also has quite a bit of drop protection built in then we have their solid suitcases so these are more traditional style cases just done the Rhino shield way nice the hexagon pattern on the inside really good drop protection there's that matte black option which is nice but I kind of dig at this carbon fiber looking one here not real carbon fiber but it gives off a good appearance mojo makes some of the best leather cases out there and they're leather wallet case is once more one of our favorite we've been using their cases for years and they hold up very well and they have a lot of little good touches that others just don't pay attention to in a little bit different style really high-quality leather there is a card pocket on the back that can handle between one two three cards but remember leather does not stretch back so into the stretches you're kind of stuck with that many cards in there you have nice buttons on the sides that are very tactile you know they are fully leather covered the inside of the case is covered in Japanese microfiber which is very soft and plush compared to the others that sometimes just to use foam or something so really nice interior to this and all the corners I like the camera cut out and such have these chamfered leather edges which kind of tapered in a little bit so I'm just cutting straight off so mudo has a few different colors out and clean some new ones this year though the blue has always been one of our favorites Kedah Bay has new cases including the synthesis case the sheath case and that their thinnest one of the bunch that we're going to take a look at which is their veil Cadabby has basically corned the market on modern and thin cases they're not trying to do anything flashy or bulky they're really very simple very thin cases and there's different degrees of protection from synthesis to sheath to veil just depending on how much protection you want on the phone and how thin you want your case to be even their most protective is thinner than a lot of the other ones that we have as I mentioned veil is their thinnest it's pliable it's pretty much just a skin so it's gonna protect your phone from scratches but if you drop it with this it's not gonna add a lot of drop protection moving up with the protection we have sheath which is this graphite gray color very simple but sleek design and then we have the most protected with their synthesis case wood you can see especially on the corners it little bulks up a little bit so it's still a very thin protective case but adds a little bit more bulk than the other ones in the Kitab a lineup we do like all of the cases here we like how minimal and kind of did unassuming they are you don't have to think about them they aren't flashy they're not kind of adding all these different textures and patterns that all the nice matte kind of finish to them they're all crippled and they're still going to add protection to your phone so whether you're looking for the most thin case that you can find such as the bail or you want something it's going to be thin but give you protection without kind of being neon or something then these are definitely wants to consider incipio is taking a similar tactic to Qaddafi with three different versions of their cases from era late to their NGP pure and then their dual pro so all these cases can have do different things aero light is a very light material but it's still very protective it has a little bit more of a rigid feel to it it's all one it seems like a very solid protective phone there just going all around the interior interior edges to go to more drop protection then we go over to a good dual Pro which has kind of a solid back but the edges are more flexible so two material kind of makeup therefore drop protection around the sides but so that's solid back then we have there ngpa pure which is just a completely flexible one material very clear simple case this is very similar to Apple's own clear case then you stick it out step it up with the dual Pro and then there aerolite at the end for just the most protection we also have some foam Xperia here we have their shield and their air case so we do have one version of their air case we have a feel different versions of their shield case in different colors so we're gonna first show you the difference between the shield and then air and look at the differences in the shield cases that we've got so here's the shield case on top with the air case below it they look very similar and they have very similar elements including the metal but on the shield case the metal goes all the way down the sides whereas the shield or the air case is just silicone there or rubber or whatever material that is along the side so there is metal along the top met along the bottom but these sides are completely open so the shield there's a little bit more protective and it looks a little bit nicer when you have these cool colors because it goes all around the edge of the phone and not just on the top and the bottom we really like all three of these colors there and ESDA luminance oh they are metal they are machined they feel more premium even though the body of them is that plastic or rubber material they just have a nice look to them and you don't see a lot else like them in particular we really like this multicolored rainbow one that just changes as you look at it they did a really good job on it pitaka they have amazing cases that we check out every year and they've updated their mag case for the iPhone 11 pro max just like everyone else here in this roundup what makes it really unique is it's made from this aramid fiber so it's extremely thin but it's not made out of plastic it is extremely strong extremely durable and ridiculously light there's not really anything else out there like it from these major manufacturers there are cut out along the bottom and the edge there so if that's a deal-breaker for you in not be for you but what they did do is straight up amazing they also have actual magnetic plates built in here which means they works with different accessories including their own wireless chargers and mounts there's a little bit of a lift going around the camera so you have some protection there I will say this case is really hard to get off because it is so slim fitting and minimalistic now they do have a warehouse car charger which is also one of our favorites just magnetically attaches with this case it still works through wireless charging great job Berkley another leather case manufacturer here inside of the Union feels like this really nicest weed fabric outside the leather is very nice and there's tons of different leather finishes that Berkeley puts out so if you don't like this later option they do have darker one chocolate ones tan ones whatever it is that you're looking for including full raft cases and stuff just the ones that are along the back like we've seen kind of the tradition or the style this year it does connect it magnetically to the case and unlike a lot of the other ones they were doing this bit that you were doing this last year so this is something they've been doing for a little while now or some of the other case manufactures seem to kind of be just jumping on board with this magnetic design it can still be propped up like the other ones it does have a magnetic clasp which you may or may not like there are three little cutouts there on the front so you can talk on the phone while you have the phone inside the case for have to wrap it around the back and there are three card slots on the inside as well as one for your ID and then a large pocket beneath used for business cards cash whatever it may be so very similar style to the other wall cases out there but we've always been a fan of the Berkley leather has more of kind of a softer finish to it that doesn't feel overly polished or plastic II like some of the other ones can be when they're waxed so it just has a very natural feel to it though it will wear over time and start to look really nice and broken and the more that you use it again we really really can't emphasize much how much we liked this style wallet case because it gives you the best of both worlds allowing you to use the wallet when you want to and ditch the wallet when you don't need it keeping this slim shell other case of course we're going to be including it OtterBox in this video we're going to be focusing primarily on the commuter case which is kind of their middle that road case so it's not as thin as their signature cases but not as giant and bulky of their Defender cases it comes in two different the silicon material and then the harder shell for added protection giving up both those different layers you connect your phone slide it right here into the silicon shell and then add the plastic shell over the back still very easily put on and off doesn't require any special tools like some the other OtterBox cases do but gives you more protection than most the other shell cases that are on the list and the Commuter is mentally moving around so it is still a thin case and not overly bulky the Lightning port there on the bottom you can see is covered as well so it's not going to get any extra debris or water damage in there even though the new phones are more durable and shouldn't be prone to any water damage it's still good to keep those ports covered and clean if at all possible now invisible shield does not really make phone cases but they do make screen protectors and they make some of the best ones that are out there so those only fit that we mentioned them here in this video there are top of the line the screen protector is the glass elite vision guard plus so it's their top of the line case but it also blocks the harmful rays of blue light that are coming out of your phone so it pretty much looks exactly the same your never give us a difference but it's a little bit better for your eyes a step down is their glass elite they also have glass elite with privacy so it kind of blocks others to be able to look in and what's going on your phone and they have the anti glare once if you're outside in the Sun specifically a lot then this may be the one you're looking for because it'll cut down on those sun rays you don't have to write your phone having to boost the brightness up so much we've got lifeproof here today including their slam case which is their simple kind of shell case and then we also have their flip case which integrates a wallet into the back of the phone but a little bit differently than most the other wallet cases that we've already looked at today so here are their slam case and what do you like about this is gives you the benefits of the clear case you can still see that you're rocking at that midnight green iPhone but it gives you a little bit of an accent color going around the outside so you don't have to use that black but it is a little bit of a kind of accent color to the iPhone then we have the flip case which is kind of what it sounds like you just have a wallet flipped here onto the back so it has a nice fabric material to it which is really something a little bit different than the leather that we've seen and has some blue accents on the inside you have three card slots as well as a larger one for cash business cards receipts whatever it may be you can see the lifeproof logo is on there that's nice and slim it holds Daler magnetically overall just a really nice looking case but this moves a little bit differently you don't have to have the whole folio look and the case itself is very thin it's a lot thinner than we'd expect these wallet cases to be but it does kind of ruin wireless charging for you next up is totally and they are extremely thin pieces we are checking out their clear one it's one of the best looking clear ones we've seen we prefer this over Apple's because it is extremely a crystal thin crystal clear and it looks great over time we've used these over extended period of time and they don't yellow too bad they do get a little bit of yellow after like a year but so does even Apple so that's something that you can kind of come to expect next we have a quad lock quad lock is an Australian company and they do think it's just a little bit different so they have their case which is a solid good case on its own we have no complaints about the case but it has a kind of fun factor to which is that it will work with all these different mounting solutions that they put out so you get kind of locked into their ecosystem and if you already have their mounts then you already need a new quad lock case but they do have different things you can kind of pair it with including this here which is just a Qi charger because it mounts right on there twist on use a Qi charger with your iPhone in the quad lock or they have this which is their desk mount this is really cool so it has micro suction cups on the bottom which we don't have been able DRI to be chucking this on our desk to keep up with our case lineup but the top can move around it pivots and you just take your phone I'll line it up and twist it into place with this case attached it's very easy to do and gives you a nice stand for your phone you can weave the cord through underneath and charge it up while it's in the stand and you have all these different angles they can go to especially if this is mapped on your desk gives you a lot of flexibility can even work horizontally which is great if you want to prop it up to watch movies or something so you can go with the Qi charger this desk charger there's car chargers there's motorbike chargers or motorbike grips so there's all these different options you have to choose from using that same quad lock system and once it's on there does feel very secure for a more feminine option we have one from the Kayseri has the case our logo there at the bottom and this faux marble that goes along the back otherwise this is a very standard shell case if nice and thin offers some decent drop protection and some unique design this faux marble one here is just one of many different designs they have for their cases and it gives a little bit of a unique pop it looks good but I think it looks even better when the phone is actually in there I like that dark contrast of the case we logo there at the bottom in the dark hottest of the lenses up there at the top with the white marble Aalto they use premium Italian leather in all their cases may have some fun colors the same we're just checking out their dual color one which is caramel along the bottom and raven black along the top small altar logo there on the inside where it's also covering this microfiber or foam lining they keep these sides and the bottom open something that we actually kind of prefer just adds a little bit more openness to the case and make them feel as bulky this is their Metro wallet style so there can be one or two cars put along the back there usually meant for Metro cards we can put in your ID your credit cards whatever it's going to be but again you have to be careful because the dust Treach out the leather and the leather does not stretch back once it's in there so if you put three cards and there are four cards in there you have to keep them many cards because the leather is not going to stay tight it's not gonna tighten back up just to hold one card again otherwise some of our favorite looking in other cases wallet cases must be in style this year because we have another one on our list from eye falls so I appalling before we have them in our previous brand ups from last year at a very similar to what we seen from other cases this year when it comes to these equalities card slots along the left hand side they're your cutouts towards the top so you can take phone calls without having to open up the actual case and fold it around back can be propped up at the phone case itself is a silicone shell and it cannot be removed unlike some of the other ones so you do have to keep it in the wallet at all times but it is a little bit thinner than the ones that used a removable shell because they don't have to add that extra bulk here we have a texas-based armadillo Tech basically a slightly cheaper version than OtterBox for the really rugged durable cases so it comes in two different parts the very rubbery shell / and then the screen protector you don't put your phone into the bottom half in fact you slide it right into this screen shell that goes on the top and then it goes into the whole body and we do have a screen printer still on here that we didn't remove for the video while shooting so that's what you see those bubbles going around but when we did take it off it was completely move in clear we didn't even notice that it was on there but it does give you that added protection on the front of your phone without needing an additional screen protector like other cases it does cover up different ports so there is a cover along the bottom so you're not gonna get any debris ingress towards the Lightning port and of course along the back you can see where the armadillo Tech logo is does it the kickstand built in which is always kind of a nice feature we're vertically or horizontally for propping up your phone to watch videos on a nightstand whatever it may be you can still see the screen of your phone without needing some extra one and when you're already having a case it's a little bit this bulky for that extra extra protection kind of just a nice thing to have here we have uk-based Toro Toro makes another great leather wallet case small little accent there on the front so just stamping it in they actually have their logo cut out which is something a nice touch that we like nice stitch around the edges clear opening for the cameras all stuff we expect but they also a few things that we didn't see from any of the your leather case out there including them it magnetically shuts without any need for a clasp it just closes right there on its own and shuts automatically and it automatically unlocks and wakes your phone whenever it opens and closes something that's really in our lineup so far I've been limited to Apple's own there are three curt slots on the inside as well as a larger pocket for cash receipts and business cards the case itself is not removable but that does keep it a little bit more on the slim side and it can be propped up for watching videos water-filled doesn't really make your standard iPhone cases they're a little bit different from what we've shown so far in this video in the first 40 minutes between a few different objects from them first is their ranger pocket their ranger pouch which is a holder for your iphone instead of more the sleeve rather than an actual case so you can put your phone in here while it's actually inside of another slim case there latch is extremely cool easy to pull it down and then no way to unlock it but when it locks it can go straight on so once you pull your phone out it can just close down on its own and lock into place so amazing job here on the actual clasp that holds this thing together foam can slide in the top everything still a little bit stiff because everything's brand new but you can't have additional things on that front there so card money recedes whatever you have to store in the front of this thing so you have room for your phone in the back some cards cash whatever in the front on the back it does have a little belt loop that you can use to attach the things and it does close magnetically so to take your belt off to put this on and this back magnet is extremely strong so this is not going anywhere once you've actually locked it into place this chocolate distressed leather here also feels very nice it's some of the nicest leather that we've seen it feels it very natural these are all made here in the US in San Francisco and we have a lot of other products from them that we want to show up here in our other iPhone case random videos this is their executive sleeve so it's very thin very simple you can put a carabiner or something there the top has the water-filled logo there at the bottom your phone slides right in just like any other ones do but doesn't have any additional pockets they say this will work with a small case on they particularly test with apples cases so this will work with any of Apple's leather or silicone cases you have access to the Lightning port that bottom someone is in the sleeve you can still charge your phone these are nice for a few different situations like you have that thin case on but sometimes you want a little more added protection you're not actively using your phone you can slide it into one of these for some added protection and you're good and they have amazing build quality the last one they won the show off is their camera bag but this will work with any of the any of the three new iPhones so the max the 11pro or the iPhone 11 when you open it up from that distressed leather you have a pocket on the top you have a slot along the back where you can put your phone in there series of little lens pouches at the front so if you have like the moment lens and mark lenses all those can be housed in there along with you bottom we have some extra little straps they reekin tie on something like a tripod and mini tripod a Joby tripod then you can use the strap and just throw the whole thing over your shoulder next we have Bhandar so this is another a wallet style case and this one's a little bit cheaper than the other ones out there which is not always a bad thing the weather feels a little bit more plasticky if it is a real leather but it has the magnetic removable case so if you really like that design but you don't want to pay as much for the high-end leather ones this maybe you want to check out just feels a little bit looser it doesn't feel as tight and as quality some of the other ones do but it still looks great doesn't feel bad by any means it's a little bit more affordable we have Sonic's which has a few cool cases for us we have the slightly more feminine skewing a cactus one here so it's a clear shell with all these cactuses printed onto the back there kind of need a poppy case and then we have their bandolier style case which definitely is something we haven't seen in this video that gives you a little bit more option with it so there's a little pouch it's on the back you can close it with magnets and you're gonna hold some cards cash IDs whatever in there but that whole thing actually just comes off so you don't have to use it if you don't want to so if you want to use this as a bullet it just has a 3m adhesive on there just attach to the back of the case we're on the back of a phone either way you don't have to use it if you don't want to you're left with still just a nice case with kind of a leather or a fake leather along the back and then there is a strap that goes along with it it's very easy to remove the strap if you don't want it or don't need it for a particular time but you're going out for the night it really nice to have everything all in one kind of your curse your wallet cards in the back of that and this nice chain and leather strap to go with it so that is it that is roughly 70 cases for the iPhone 11 Pro max these are over different ones all of our favorites kind of sourced from all these different places we mix everything up so you don't get bored going through this video I really want to hear what you guys think let me know what your favorite cases are down below in the comments pick up any of these at the links in the description and send over new suggestions to me on twitter at Andrew underscore OSU hey everyone did you guys like that video be sure to click on that like button so we can create content that we know that you guys want to see and follow Apple Insider tour in all social media channels if you want the best prices on any Apple gear check out the Apple Insider price guide that is updated daily and until next time we'll see you laterpeople use cases for all different reasons are there for style protection or function here we are going to go through 70 different cases for the iPhone 11 Pro Max and I implore you to check out the entire video because we mix and match the order that they're in so in no particular order here are our favored cases for the 11pro max starting off with spigen speakings got three for us to check out the rugged armor the ultra hybrid and the thin fit basically varying degrees of protection and the basic one is still that clear one which is very similar to Apple's but through the excited us the most where the thin fit and the rugged armor this is the rugged armor case it's a very nice has the Apple logo exposed there on the back so you can still tell that it is an iPhone and has additional protection around the corners compared to the other speaking cases that we have this one here is the thin fit it's a very thin shell you can see it's got a little bit of elevated bump around the camera though the bottom and the top of the phone aren't exposed of course all the corners and the sides are covered and the back it has a little bit of a soft touch finish which gives it a good grip in the hand while it is a very thin case it still feels very easy to hold and it's not gonna fly out so three for us to check out but we also wanted to take a look at their Glasser easy-fit screen protectors these come in a 2-pack and what's really nice about these is they come in these easy assemble trays so there are two in the box two different trays if you take your phone you put it into the tray and it aligns perfectly gone are the days where you'd have to kind of line up the screen protector yourself and you might have to reapply or something no these you literally just put your phone in here apply some pressure and it basically just adheres itself and it's aligned a spot on so it's a really cool stuff from speaking this year all things we've kind of seen before but updated here for the iPhone 11 pro max moving on we've got bodyguards the two cases we are going to be checking out today are the momentum case which is this green one here which tend to be kind of our sleeper favorites of the bunch then we have the Pro ace pro is a little bit more minimalistic and there's a clear design and comes in a few different colors when you've got those on your phone you can see your phone right through the back including the Apple logo it's a little bit elevated around the camera bump there it covers both the top and the bottom of the phones completely and you can see the accented color along the sides tops all the edges of the phone it's kind of a nice little accent too late' the new iphone line here is momentum case which comes with that little lanyard we kinda like the lanyards they're really cool and they're pretty handy if you're taking photos a little bit of a precarious position because it's definitely more of an outside case and not like the leather ones that tend to you fancier more indoor and less rugged phone goes into it really easily bodyguards say this was based off of performance sneakers I mean kind of see that the back has this kind of foam design it feels really neat and it was honestly kind of rubber favorites that we weren't expecting going into this video one case we were really excited to try out was this one here from element case this is their black ops elite case and it has a whole lot of things going for it cases usually have one or two main features that they like to tout like fingerprint resistant and drop proof and all those kind of things this is a huge laundry list of features going down the back between the materials the assembly and the other things that are included with this case even the box is unlike anything else we've seen in this video in our roundup so this is definitely something that is set apart from the rest of the cases here so we have the case on the right hand side but it also includes two other things in the box this little keychain lanyard in this little element case box which contains a few extra screws and a quick wrench you can use or a screwdriver basically to assemble and disassemble the case so first up looking at those included accessories it has the element case logo there on the top of the actual clip on the bottom is a keychain which can be removed and you can use the little cord to connected to the bottom corner of the case itself this may is made out of four feet of paracord and there is a little lighter little Flint there in the center used to start fires if you ever need an emergency kind of a standard paracord keychain here then we have the quick access screwdriver and two screws of each type as backups for assembling and disassembling the case so here's the case itself it looks and feels amazing there is a clip here on the back and that clip can easily be removed it just simply slides up but allows you to easier to clip this into your pocket you don't need some big holster or anything like that just this clip and it is made of stainless steel powder coated black and it can be removed if you're not gonna use it but is it very thin well it's still on the case there is a built-in kickstand which is perfect for propping up your phone and watching videos you can almost not even tell that it is in there it's very thin on the side we have the buttons which are anodized in a different color than the rest of the aluminum they are very tactile with that knurling on the outside so you can feel them easily and they are very precise and accurate as you're pressing them they hit the buttons on the inside on your actual phone and they're very quick it's not like the rubber or the leather covered ones that can feel a little bit spongy that you're not actually clicking the buttons so really good work on the buttons on this case there are a lot of different materials in this case between the stainless steel these outside edges here are anodized aluminum and they spider right on and are screwed into place so I'm going to get a kind of rubberized frame and then the back of it is this custom hardened glass composite doesn't feel like glass I can shatter anything but it is very rigid we have them the rubberized around it and then the metal frames going around the edges it is very easy to take on and off but it is a little bit odd that you have to use the screws to put your phone in and out of this so it's not something you want to take off quickly if you need to this is one of the most protective and stunning cases in a retired lineup we were really excited to try this one out so make sure you check out this one at the link in the description next up is pad and quill pad and quill like to send their actual cases out in the small little cardboard paper envelopes that are actually wax-sealed breaking the seal open we can get inside and see the case itself which in this case is one of the a light-brown of folio style cases for the iphone 11 pro max there is an elastic band that wraps around to keep everything closed up together on the bottom of the back you can see the pad and quill logo has been pressed into a leather there's also that and sign pressed into the spine of the case itself opening it up we have a hardshell case on the right hand side and several card pockets on the left they also see the different color leather on the interior has a big clear ID slot there as well as for card slots above it along the back you can see the camera cutout is nice and solid it does get a little bit weird when you have that strap in the way but you do have to remove the strap anyway when you're accessing the camera because you have to open up the case this does not have the magnets inside of which means it's not going to open and close or lock and unlock the phone when you open or close the case but otherwise quality is top-notch next we have a snake hive out of London this is another folio style card case I have a few different than unique aspects to it we have the plum color here which is not one we see often it has a various soft finish to the outside of the leather when you open things up you get past that magnetic clasp but holds everything closed we have a silicon shell on the inside now that you look at silicon shell there's nothing wrong with it but it is a little bit harder to get your case into or your phone into the case it has to kind of stretch around the phone itself but it is clear so you can see the color of your iPhone behind the case the camera cutout works just fine you can easily access the camera including the wide-angle lens about anything and getting in the way and your phone can be propped up to be used in video mode now this clasp does seem to kind of fold a forward a little bit and get in the way so make sure you pull that back we wish there is maybe a second magnet that would hold it behind the case when watching a movie or something there's a pocket on the inside as well several card slots but no ID pocket in this one there is a stitching line to cut out towards the top of the front of the case I'm gonna take phone calls while the case is actually closed so you don't have to fold it behind and there is the little snake I have logo on that bottom right corner on the front of the case moving things along our next case in the line up is a from Griffin and we have two from their survivor line the endurance case right here up front which has 11 feet of drop protection and still keeps a relatively slim body and then we have the strong case which kind of ironically has only 10 feet of drop protection in comparison though it is a little bit later in slimmer and then the other case is so here is that endurance case has a frosted back a couple different materials here kind of joining together it gives you a little more flexibility on the sides and that's solid back let me still see a little bit of the color and the Apple logo through the case when it is on your phone here is the strong case very similar to a lot of the other clear shells that are out there but had a little bit more of a frost inside to it so clear back and frosted sides and have a little bit of a pattern to it too a little bit different than kind of the boring ones that are just completely clear like apples and some of the other minimalistic ones we do like some of the little touches on the endurance case such as the color matched buttons so while the outsides are actually the darker color the buttons are a lighter gray gives it a little bit more of a standout nature and they're still very tactile so you can feel them easily the lightning connector also has a large cutout so even larger cords will fit in there without any issue for many years no man has been known for their leather cases sourced from the Queen tannery in Chicago and this year they have of course just updated their line for the new iPhone 11 Pro max but we have a new style case to go along with their leather rugged case now the leather ones are great and they wear over time they look amazing all their cases they feel very solid they offer a lot of drop protection have a very soft interior with that microfiber lining and still the leather ones are top-notch we really like their leather ones especially as they age but they're not water resistant so this new case that they came up with is their active leather case so it's leather it still has natural leather but it's been treated to be waterproof or water resistant so you can get this wet without it getting destroyed now the downside is it does not age as nicely so over time it's not going to develop such the nice patina that we get with the standard natural leather but it still feels great in the hand and it'll look great for a long period of time so if you're using your phone keys outside a lot and you might get it wet and you're worried about that and this is definitely one to consider like there are other cases they are made of TPU material for the rest of the case gives a good bumper and shield around the front of the lip so nothing can impact this screen and there is a little bit of a lip going around the camera so nothing's gonna damage the lenses when it's sat down on a table next we've got smartish murder sentence both the wallet Slayer and the grip Xilai case smart urge is always kind of a fun brand that always has a different look and feel to a lot of the other cases out there they're relatively actually they're very affordable cases and they have just kind of neat designs smart aspects to them so I really like this grip Xilai case you can see on the sides it has kind of this fingerprinting going allow around them and giving it really good grip and of course the wallets layer here just has the wrong spot here in the back unfortunately this one is not gonna work with wireless chargers it's too thick but the grip Zillah one will just fine and if you prefer to have that wallet with you then this is going to be a really nice option but again this group is illa one is kind of a really nice when it has a very simple streamlined design and I like those imprints down the side just makes it really easy to hold on to your phone and that this bright blue color is one that we really don't see all that often so it's a really nice differentiator from the other cases in this lineup speaking of colors though we have two of the neon cases the neon crystal palace cases from gear 4 they sent us both this bright blue one and this neon yellow these upper 13 feet of drop protection which is some of the highest on the list and they're not overly bulky like some of the more protective cases are they appear to be a bit of a to material design with a little bit of clear and that color material going together so as we actually take these fo and stick it on our phones you'll see there's a clear going around the edges with is a blue back or the neon yellow back there also very solid I thought they were gonna be a little more jelly and flexible but they are not as much as we thought which is clearly why they have more protection built in here then we might have initially expected now I do have these the midnight green iPhone 11 Promax which doesn't go as well with the green I mean it still goes pretty good do you still look really nice together the blue and the green looks very nice but I think would look even better with the Space Gray or with the silver of the iPhone 11 series this year Pelican is going all-out for the new iPhone 11 pro max we have several cases from Pelican to check out with a bunch of different features and styles including this portable power option that builds in wireless charging and an additional battery pack we have the traveler case here which is again something unique that we have not seen before so we're gonna get into this one with some of its cool aspects we have a little bit more standard cases they just have some fun designs when these grow cases they have a really nice texture going on the back very kind of bumpy and dimply there kind of fun cases to hold on to then getting a little bit more simpler with just this mogul case that has this break kind of color to it still transparent can still see the iPhone logo but gives you a pop of color alongside just a basic solid protective case you can see they go a little bit further by adding that glossy detail around the edges a little bit of a chrome accident around the edges and around the camera cutout here it's a little bit more than your standard just kind of poppy jelly case so here are the middle that road ones with this really fun texture it looks really cool it feels even cooler in the hand because a little bit of extra grip and it looks visually interesting it's not just a matte finish or a solid finish or glossy finish it just kind of mixes with the light and it just feels good to hold on to the phone you don't feel like you're going to drop it with this case on but it still is very thin and minimalistic it comes in this darker color and you also saw we have the lighter color that kind of frosted clear one to go with here is a very distinct case those their traveller case and it actually has this stitching down the sides which one gives it a unique look it's a bit dark green thread which matches our midnight green iPhone but it also gives additional grip so it's perfect little grip down the sides of the phone it looks kind of almost Native American very kind of hippie ish this is definitely a cool case we have not really seen too much before you can see it has protection all the way around including covering there at the bottom and it is made of leather along the back who here is their battery case at the battery case itself is a standard case that attaches magnetically to this battery pack it works with wireless charging obviously because this battery pack will charge the phone wirelessly just do that qi coil on the back of the phone hit the battery button there on turn that thing on and you can see the phone search charging right away it's kind of a good alternative to a standard battery case because you just pull this thing off when you don't need it and snap it on when you do the downside to it that we don't like is the battery itself charges over microUSB we really would have liked to see it USBC have anything at all so it is a downside but they're still sticking to micro-b UAG another fan favorite we've got two cases this year to check out including their plasma case which has that soft impact resistant core armor it is a very feather-light construction it looks pretty awesome here on our iPhone 11 pro max if I do say so ourselves it has a really cool texture to it just a lot going on looks very modern and different we also have an updated version of their monarch case there's so many different layers going on here different protective layers there is metal going on there's leather actually underneath everything there's a lot of different components to this and it adds a lot of protection to the phone we get requests for this case every single year so we're really to see that they've updated again for the iPhone 11 pro max while they do have screws on the corners just like the element case did the good thing is you don't actually have to remove them to put this case on and off next up we have a case mate we have the tough speckled the tough neon and the waterfall confetti another favorite that people love year-over-year these things do we're a little bit over time you'll get some bubbles in there but they still are kind of the fun case and it seems a little bit thinner this year than we've seen in years past this is the confetti version there's all sorts of waterfall cases that casemates put out just fun colors and interesting things going on rather than this your standard case we do like they're updated tough speckled here so has a frosted back and then the speckled appearance going down the sides it's a very minimalistic style case very simple but kind of just a unique aspect that we don't see a lot again and it looks pretty awesome on our iPhone tena or iPhone 11 pro max here regardless of which of these cases you like whether you like the confetti waterfall this tough speckled or the tough neon all three of these cases do come with ten feet of drop protection so a good drop protection they're a lot more than just standard from your hip and they do cover all edges of the phone you're not having any gaps that are open and there's a little bit lip going up around the camera so that the cameras are not gonna touch anything when they're laying down on a surface we've got Moshi coming up next with the ultra case in the over truer case both these are really top-notch I haven't given Moshi a lot of looks before but after these cases I'm definitely gonna start paying attention to them these work with their snap to mounting system which you can put in little metal plates there and they'll work with these magnetic mounts the back here is a very nicely textured with all these different triangles it looks very modern and cool we have an attachment here the lower right hand corner which connects it to this lanyard that comes in the box so you can use if you want to or detach it if you don't want it it has a round loop on here which is kind of a funky way to attach things but it's still again going a very modern with the design then we have the overture case from Moshi now it is just a standard leather case that looks very nice feels very good seems like a very solid leather shell case but what makes it different is it can then go from the standard case to a wallet folio and unlike the snake hive and the other ones that we've seen so far in this video it connects magnetically so you don't always have to use it this is huge because you can have just the case when you want the keys you can have a full wallet in a folio when you need that so it's pretty nice if you don't want that folio the whole time because the folio can get burdensome if you have to keep opening and closing when you're just in your home relaxing just keep the phone case on when you're in the home and when you head out attach the folio magnetically and you have your wallet and everything else with you the detail work here is very nice we don't mind the Moshi logo there on the front kind of a nice little accent silver accent to the black body a stitching work and the leather overall feels a very high quality in the premium we really like this case Moshi also has a nice eye on glass privacy cover so you can put this on your phone it'll protect your screen and give you a little bit of privacy so someone sitting next to you can't really see what's on your screen but you can see it perfectly clear here we have a tech 21 with their studio color series this is their lost in the woods into this dark green color is kind of a nice color to go with our midnight green iPhone now this is plant based they say so a partial portion of this is made out of recycled plant materials it's a very thin case but it still offers 8 feet of drop protection they've also integrated some antimicrobial properties into this case so as you're using it your phone keys can get really disgusting your phone can get disgusting by building into those antimicrobial properties to kind of repel those germs it's gonna keep your phone a little bit more sanitary overall a slim sleek case it offers good drop protection and smart features like being plant-based and adding those phantom crow Bo features it would not be a new iPhone if it didn't have a new book book in tow and 12 South did just that for this year came out with a new book book for the latest iPhones and they've kind of built in some new features here that mimic what we saw with Moshi by making things magnetic and getting rid of the kind of odd clipping mechanism that they had in years past we are not a fan of the removable case they used a series of clips on the inside of the book book to hold itself together and the magnetic option is a far better one in our opinion this fine as always has been updated for the latest one they never reuse a spine so here for the latest version just new design all around for the spine of the book there is a magnetic clasp that keep things together personally not a huge fan of the magnetic clasp but a few of them do have it here in this roundup it's not too much of a pain but it's not our favorite on the left-hand side we have three card slots and an ID slot here at the bottom so it was a large pocket to a store additional things like business cards or cash behind it and just like the Moshi case you can see we can simply pull off our magnetic showcase it works with wireless charging which is nice and there is a sellable leather back to the shell case so the shell case by itself looks great works with wireless charging we love it and then BOOM snap it in here to use with your book book when you take it on the go there cards cash ID and everything else that you need it does hold back which is very handy so you can prop it up to watch any movies or TV shows with your phone just another little nice thing we do like they thought of those they didn't get rid of those features when they went to the magnetic design there are diehard book book fans out there and we are sure they're going to be excited with the latest incarnation of 12 South's most famous iPhone case continue to chug along we have the grift to you this is an extremely slim case that has a unique way to hold on to your phone when you've got it in your hand you don't have to add on things to the back leg pop sockets it just automatically has that stuff built in get a soft interior lining again the super super thin shell of the keys here just snaps onto your phone you can see that stretchy silicone band that's built into the back it's kind of fun to play around with and you can easily slide your hand behind it in hold onto it when you're texting fish when you have a larger phone like this it can be a little bit awkward or wonky in your hand when you're holding it one handed so having that extra grip on the back is kind of clutch when you're moving around with us we aren't usually huge fans of plastic cases but this one does elevate it just a little bit we do like kind of a little accents they did the way they did the cutouts for the buttons that look kind of cool and make them extremely tactile when using them and you can't argue with how useful that grip is on the back now we move on to Rhino shield Ryan field we've got two different ones to check out today we have the solid suit and the stylist who comes in a few different I kind of let say finishes but not finishes we have two different versions of the sound suit we have the mod annex which is their really customizable system here and that's something that's really unique to Rhino shield from anyone else so here's the mod NX and it breaks up into three different parts you have the frame edge there on the left you have the frame which is kind of this middle part here and you can even take out the buttons and swatch out the buttons for different colors then you have the back panel so when you're setting this case up you can choose to buy one just a bumper system and I want the frame in the edge or do I want the edge bumper and I want the back covered as well so you've different options and there's different colors of all these pieces so you can mix and match truly what you want mix and match at the bumper your buttons and that edge or the backplate cover whatever you wanted you to customize it for your phone so a lot of different options out there with this modular system from rhino shield needless to say it also has quite a bit of drop protection built in then we have their solid suitcases so these are more traditional style cases just done the Rhino shield way nice the hexagon pattern on the inside really good drop protection there's that matte black option which is nice but I kind of dig at this carbon fiber looking one here not real carbon fiber but it gives off a good appearance mojo makes some of the best leather cases out there and they're leather wallet case is once more one of our favorite we've been using their cases for years and they hold up very well and they have a lot of little good touches that others just don't pay attention to in a little bit different style really high-quality leather there is a card pocket on the back that can handle between one two three cards but remember leather does not stretch back so into the stretches you're kind of stuck with that many cards in there you have nice buttons on the sides that are very tactile you know they are fully leather covered the inside of the case is covered in Japanese microfiber which is very soft and plush compared to the others that sometimes just to use foam or something so really nice interior to this and all the corners I like the camera cut out and such have these chamfered leather edges which kind of tapered in a little bit so I'm just cutting straight off so mudo has a few different colors out and clean some new ones this year though the blue has always been one of our favorites Kedah Bay has new cases including the synthesis case the sheath case and that their thinnest one of the bunch that we're going to take a look at which is their veil Cadabby has basically corned the market on modern and thin cases they're not trying to do anything flashy or bulky they're really very simple very thin cases and there's different degrees of protection from synthesis to sheath to veil just depending on how much protection you want on the phone and how thin you want your case to be even their most protective is thinner than a lot of the other ones that we have as I mentioned veil is their thinnest it's pliable it's pretty much just a skin so it's gonna protect your phone from scratches but if you drop it with this it's not gonna add a lot of drop protection moving up with the protection we have sheath which is this graphite gray color very simple but sleek design and then we have the most protected with their synthesis case wood you can see especially on the corners it little bulks up a little bit so it's still a very thin protective case but adds a little bit more bulk than the other ones in the Kitab a lineup we do like all of the cases here we like how minimal and kind of did unassuming they are you don't have to think about them they aren't flashy they're not kind of adding all these different textures and patterns that all the nice matte kind of finish to them they're all crippled and they're still going to add protection to your phone so whether you're looking for the most thin case that you can find such as the bail or you want something it's going to be thin but give you protection without kind of being neon or something then these are definitely wants to consider incipio is taking a similar tactic to Qaddafi with three different versions of their cases from era late to their NGP pure and then their dual pro so all these cases can have do different things aero light is a very light material but it's still very protective it has a little bit more of a rigid feel to it it's all one it seems like a very solid protective phone there just going all around the interior interior edges to go to more drop protection then we go over to a good dual Pro which has kind of a solid back but the edges are more flexible so two material kind of makeup therefore drop protection around the sides but so that's solid back then we have there ngpa pure which is just a completely flexible one material very clear simple case this is very similar to Apple's own clear case then you stick it out step it up with the dual Pro and then there aerolite at the end for just the most protection we also have some foam Xperia here we have their shield and their air case so we do have one version of their air case we have a feel different versions of their shield case in different colors so we're gonna first show you the difference between the shield and then air and look at the differences in the shield cases that we've got so here's the shield case on top with the air case below it they look very similar and they have very similar elements including the metal but on the shield case the metal goes all the way down the sides whereas the shield or the air case is just silicone there or rubber or whatever material that is along the side so there is metal along the top met along the bottom but these sides are completely open so the shield there's a little bit more protective and it looks a little bit nicer when you have these cool colors because it goes all around the edge of the phone and not just on the top and the bottom we really like all three of these colors there and ESDA luminance oh they are metal they are machined they feel more premium even though the body of them is that plastic or rubber material they just have a nice look to them and you don't see a lot else like them in particular we really like this multicolored rainbow one that just changes as you look at it they did a really good job on it pitaka they have amazing cases that we check out every year and they've updated their mag case for the iPhone 11 pro max just like everyone else here in this roundup what makes it really unique is it's made from this aramid fiber so it's extremely thin but it's not made out of plastic it is extremely strong extremely durable and ridiculously light there's not really anything else out there like it from these major manufacturers there are cut out along the bottom and the edge there so if that's a deal-breaker for you in not be for you but what they did do is straight up amazing they also have actual magnetic plates built in here which means they works with different accessories including their own wireless chargers and mounts there's a little bit of a lift going around the camera so you have some protection there I will say this case is really hard to get off because it is so slim fitting and minimalistic now they do have a warehouse car charger which is also one of our favorites just magnetically attaches with this case it still works through wireless charging great job Berkley another leather case manufacturer here inside of the Union feels like this really nicest weed fabric outside the leather is very nice and there's tons of different leather finishes that Berkeley puts out so if you don't like this later option they do have darker one chocolate ones tan ones whatever it is that you're looking for including full raft cases and stuff just the ones that are along the back like we've seen kind of the tradition or the style this year it does connect it magnetically to the case and unlike a lot of the other ones they were doing this bit that you were doing this last year so this is something they've been doing for a little while now or some of the other case manufactures seem to kind of be just jumping on board with this magnetic design it can still be propped up like the other ones it does have a magnetic clasp which you may or may not like there are three little cutouts there on the front so you can talk on the phone while you have the phone inside the case for have to wrap it around the back and there are three card slots on the inside as well as one for your ID and then a large pocket beneath used for business cards cash whatever it may be so very similar style to the other wall cases out there but we've always been a fan of the Berkley leather has more of kind of a softer finish to it that doesn't feel overly polished or plastic II like some of the other ones can be when they're waxed so it just has a very natural feel to it though it will wear over time and start to look really nice and broken and the more that you use it again we really really can't emphasize much how much we liked this style wallet case because it gives you the best of both worlds allowing you to use the wallet when you want to and ditch the wallet when you don't need it keeping this slim shell other case of course we're going to be including it OtterBox in this video we're going to be focusing primarily on the commuter case which is kind of their middle that road case so it's not as thin as their signature cases but not as giant and bulky of their Defender cases it comes in two different the silicon material and then the harder shell for added protection giving up both those different layers you connect your phone slide it right here into the silicon shell and then add the plastic shell over the back still very easily put on and off doesn't require any special tools like some the other OtterBox cases do but gives you more protection than most the other shell cases that are on the list and the Commuter is mentally moving around so it is still a thin case and not overly bulky the Lightning port there on the bottom you can see is covered as well so it's not going to get any extra debris or water damage in there even though the new phones are more durable and shouldn't be prone to any water damage it's still good to keep those ports covered and clean if at all possible now invisible shield does not really make phone cases but they do make screen protectors and they make some of the best ones that are out there so those only fit that we mentioned them here in this video there are top of the line the screen protector is the glass elite vision guard plus so it's their top of the line case but it also blocks the harmful rays of blue light that are coming out of your phone so it pretty much looks exactly the same your never give us a difference but it's a little bit better for your eyes a step down is their glass elite they also have glass elite with privacy so it kind of blocks others to be able to look in and what's going on your phone and they have the anti glare once if you're outside in the Sun specifically a lot then this may be the one you're looking for because it'll cut down on those sun rays you don't have to write your phone having to boost the brightness up so much we've got lifeproof here today including their slam case which is their simple kind of shell case and then we also have their flip case which integrates a wallet into the back of the phone but a little bit differently than most the other wallet cases that we've already looked at today so here are their slam case and what do you like about this is gives you the benefits of the clear case you can still see that you're rocking at that midnight green iPhone but it gives you a little bit of an accent color going around the outside so you don't have to use that black but it is a little bit of a kind of accent color to the iPhone then we have the flip case which is kind of what it sounds like you just have a wallet flipped here onto the back so it has a nice fabric material to it which is really something a little bit different than the leather that we've seen and has some blue accents on the inside you have three card slots as well as a larger one for cash business cards receipts whatever it may be you can see the lifeproof logo is on there that's nice and slim it holds Daler magnetically overall just a really nice looking case but this moves a little bit differently you don't have to have the whole folio look and the case itself is very thin it's a lot thinner than we'd expect these wallet cases to be but it does kind of ruin wireless charging for you next up is totally and they are extremely thin pieces we are checking out their clear one it's one of the best looking clear ones we've seen we prefer this over Apple's because it is extremely a crystal thin crystal clear and it looks great over time we've used these over extended period of time and they don't yellow too bad they do get a little bit of yellow after like a year but so does even Apple so that's something that you can kind of come to expect next we have a quad lock quad lock is an Australian company and they do think it's just a little bit different so they have their case which is a solid good case on its own we have no complaints about the case but it has a kind of fun factor to which is that it will work with all these different mounting solutions that they put out so you get kind of locked into their ecosystem and if you already have their mounts then you already need a new quad lock case but they do have different things you can kind of pair it with including this here which is just a Qi charger because it mounts right on there twist on use a Qi charger with your iPhone in the quad lock or they have this which is their desk mount this is really cool so it has micro suction cups on the bottom which we don't have been able DRI to be chucking this on our desk to keep up with our case lineup but the top can move around it pivots and you just take your phone I'll line it up and twist it into place with this case attached it's very easy to do and gives you a nice stand for your phone you can weave the cord through underneath and charge it up while it's in the stand and you have all these different angles they can go to especially if this is mapped on your desk gives you a lot of flexibility can even work horizontally which is great if you want to prop it up to watch movies or something so you can go with the Qi charger this desk charger there's car chargers there's motorbike chargers or motorbike grips so there's all these different options you have to choose from using that same quad lock system and once it's on there does feel very secure for a more feminine option we have one from the Kayseri has the case our logo there at the bottom and this faux marble that goes along the back otherwise this is a very standard shell case if nice and thin offers some decent drop protection and some unique design this faux marble one here is just one of many different designs they have for their cases and it gives a little bit of a unique pop it looks good but I think it looks even better when the phone is actually in there I like that dark contrast of the case we logo there at the bottom in the dark hottest of the lenses up there at the top with the white marble Aalto they use premium Italian leather in all their cases may have some fun colors the same we're just checking out their dual color one which is caramel along the bottom and raven black along the top small altar logo there on the inside where it's also covering this microfiber or foam lining they keep these sides and the bottom open something that we actually kind of prefer just adds a little bit more openness to the case and make them feel as bulky this is their Metro wallet style so there can be one or two cars put along the back there usually meant for Metro cards we can put in your ID your credit cards whatever it's going to be but again you have to be careful because the dust Treach out the leather and the leather does not stretch back once it's in there so if you put three cards and there are four cards in there you have to keep them many cards because the leather is not going to stay tight it's not gonna tighten back up just to hold one card again otherwise some of our favorite looking in other cases wallet cases must be in style this year because we have another one on our list from eye falls so I appalling before we have them in our previous brand ups from last year at a very similar to what we seen from other cases this year when it comes to these equalities card slots along the left hand side they're your cutouts towards the top so you can take phone calls without having to open up the actual case and fold it around back can be propped up at the phone case itself is a silicone shell and it cannot be removed unlike some of the other ones so you do have to keep it in the wallet at all times but it is a little bit thinner than the ones that used a removable shell because they don't have to add that extra bulk here we have a texas-based armadillo Tech basically a slightly cheaper version than OtterBox for the really rugged durable cases so it comes in two different parts the very rubbery shell / and then the screen protector you don't put your phone into the bottom half in fact you slide it right into this screen shell that goes on the top and then it goes into the whole body and we do have a screen printer still on here that we didn't remove for the video while shooting so that's what you see those bubbles going around but when we did take it off it was completely move in clear we didn't even notice that it was on there but it does give you that added protection on the front of your phone without needing an additional screen protector like other cases it does cover up different ports so there is a cover along the bottom so you're not gonna get any debris ingress towards the Lightning port and of course along the back you can see where the armadillo Tech logo is does it the kickstand built in which is always kind of a nice feature we're vertically or horizontally for propping up your phone to watch videos on a nightstand whatever it may be you can still see the screen of your phone without needing some extra one and when you're already having a case it's a little bit this bulky for that extra extra protection kind of just a nice thing to have here we have uk-based Toro Toro makes another great leather wallet case small little accent there on the front so just stamping it in they actually have their logo cut out which is something a nice touch that we like nice stitch around the edges clear opening for the cameras all stuff we expect but they also a few things that we didn't see from any of the your leather case out there including them it magnetically shuts without any need for a clasp it just closes right there on its own and shuts automatically and it automatically unlocks and wakes your phone whenever it opens and closes something that's really in our lineup so far I've been limited to Apple's own there are three curt slots on the inside as well as a larger pocket for cash receipts and business cards the case itself is not removable but that does keep it a little bit more on the slim side and it can be propped up for watching videos water-filled doesn't really make your standard iPhone cases they're a little bit different from what we've shown so far in this video in the first 40 minutes between a few different objects from them first is their ranger pocket their ranger pouch which is a holder for your iphone instead of more the sleeve rather than an actual case so you can put your phone in here while it's actually inside of another slim case there latch is extremely cool easy to pull it down and then no way to unlock it but when it locks it can go straight on so once you pull your phone out it can just close down on its own and lock into place so amazing job here on the actual clasp that holds this thing together foam can slide in the top everything still a little bit stiff because everything's brand new but you can't have additional things on that front there so card money recedes whatever you have to store in the front of this thing so you have room for your phone in the back some cards cash whatever in the front on the back it does have a little belt loop that you can use to attach the things and it does close magnetically so to take your belt off to put this on and this back magnet is extremely strong so this is not going anywhere once you've actually locked it into place this chocolate distressed leather here also feels very nice it's some of the nicest leather that we've seen it feels it very natural these are all made here in the US in San Francisco and we have a lot of other products from them that we want to show up here in our other iPhone case random videos this is their executive sleeve so it's very thin very simple you can put a carabiner or something there the top has the water-filled logo there at the bottom your phone slides right in just like any other ones do but doesn't have any additional pockets they say this will work with a small case on they particularly test with apples cases so this will work with any of Apple's leather or silicone cases you have access to the Lightning port that bottom someone is in the sleeve you can still charge your phone these are nice for a few different situations like you have that thin case on but sometimes you want a little more added protection you're not actively using your phone you can slide it into one of these for some added protection and you're good and they have amazing build quality the last one they won the show off is their camera bag but this will work with any of the any of the three new iPhones so the max the 11pro or the iPhone 11 when you open it up from that distressed leather you have a pocket on the top you have a slot along the back where you can put your phone in there series of little lens pouches at the front so if you have like the moment lens and mark lenses all those can be housed in there along with you bottom we have some extra little straps they reekin tie on something like a tripod and mini tripod a Joby tripod then you can use the strap and just throw the whole thing over your shoulder next we have Bhandar so this is another a wallet style case and this one's a little bit cheaper than the other ones out there which is not always a bad thing the weather feels a little bit more plasticky if it is a real leather but it has the magnetic removable case so if you really like that design but you don't want to pay as much for the high-end leather ones this maybe you want to check out just feels a little bit looser it doesn't feel as tight and as quality some of the other ones do but it still looks great doesn't feel bad by any means it's a little bit more affordable we have Sonic's which has a few cool cases for us we have the slightly more feminine skewing a cactus one here so it's a clear shell with all these cactuses printed onto the back there kind of need a poppy case and then we have their bandolier style case which definitely is something we haven't seen in this video that gives you a little bit more option with it so there's a little pouch it's on the back you can close it with magnets and you're gonna hold some cards cash IDs whatever in there but that whole thing actually just comes off so you don't have to use it if you don't want to so if you want to use this as a bullet it just has a 3m adhesive on there just attach to the back of the case we're on the back of a phone either way you don't have to use it if you don't want to you're left with still just a nice case with kind of a leather or a fake leather along the back and then there is a strap that goes along with it it's very easy to remove the strap if you don't want it or don't need it for a particular time but you're going out for the night it really nice to have everything all in one kind of your curse your wallet cards in the back of that and this nice chain and leather strap to go with it so that is it that is roughly 70 cases for the iPhone 11 Pro max these are over different ones all of our favorites kind of sourced
