I’m looking for a case that’s “rugged” and protective to use with my iPhone 13 pro max while working, yet not too big and bulky.
I’ve been looking at the Evocheck case and the Otterix Symmetry drop+.
Any thoughts on those cases?
After seeing them in store, I think the Otterbox looks the best, with the all black back. And it’s optimized for MagSafe charging. However, I’m not too fond of the huge “OTTERBOX” branding and it seems a little slippery (will it slip easily out of pockets?).
The evocheck looks quite cool with its semitransparent design. However, it feels very plasticly and cheap, and does not support MagSafe charging (I think).
The transparent Symmetry case I saw in the store, was already quite scratched - so I guess that one scratches quite easily.
Any advice?

Did you check out the tech21 evoluxe? Has a good feel, MagSafe compatible too. The material is different from other cases I’ve had before.

The Evoclear is a great case

My only niggle with Otterbox is that they're not very screen protector friendly

I had the Otterbox Symmetry and Rugged cases on my 12 Pro Max and they didn't work well at all with tempered glass protectors; and it seems they're still an issue with the 13 Pro Max

But obviously that's if you use a screen protector (they're a must for me)

Personally for all out protection; I think the Supcase Unicorn Beetle cases are unbeatable:


It's easy to remove the built in screen protector and use a tempered glass one instead; that always works really well IMO

No MagSafe tho.
