I just went to Best Buy and they do have a few cases for the iPhone 13 Pro Max and they will fit the 12 pro max just fine but your iPhone 12 promax case will not fit with the iPhone 13 pro max because of the camera window is larger. The buttons are in the same place and I’m pretty sure the new iPhone 13 Pro Max will be .2 mm thicker I believe, y’all can correct me if I’m wrong. I picked up an OtterBox commuter at Best Buy. Kind of a purple/plum color that will go well with the blue I think.

So if a 13 Pro Max case fits a 12 Pro Max, but a 12 Pro Max Case won't fit a 13 Pro max as you said, why did you buy a 12 Pro max case?
The OP went to and bought a case for his so to be 13 Pro Max. And just reconfirming that a 12 Pro Max case will not fit a 13 Pro Max because of the camera bump size.

The case is listed to fit the 13 pro max.

It’s a 13 pro max case (2021) but they will all be sold and advertised as fitting the 12 pro max iPhone as well. Amazon is already mentioning that. I did try to fit a 12 pro max shell from another commuter for the 12 pro max and it was too short on the 13 case. you can’t put a 12 pro max case on a 13. The 13 is Slightly larger in thickness and the camera bump is bigger and sticks out more. Apparently the buttons are in the same place though…

I’ll have to check that out. The otterbox commuter series is my favorite for great protection, not too thick or thin. Thanks for the tip

Any chance of a picture of the camera cut out area ? I ask because lately their commuter case models don't secure the inner case well in that region. They left a piece of plastic out in production to cut costs.
