I disagree. I tried 5 different NEW cases and all of them were loose fitting. Even if it were true, seriously, these aren't cheap so that is unacceptable.
I agree. Tried cases in different Best buys and same result. For me it was bottom right is popping out. All other corners are snapping in, except right corner.
Finally got my 13 PM…Midnight that i have fits perfectly at all 4 corners. Production date 9/21.
I don’t want to speak too soon, but the replacement midnight leather case that I got also seems to fit perfectly this time. Here’s hoping it stays that way!
I'm thinking about going back to either an Apple leather or silicone case, so I'm checking this thread often to see what the general review is. I had a strange issue with last year's leather case: It was my daily driver (and it was the first case I purchased). The case was perfect from the beginning, but maybe six months in, for only a few weeks, the top left corner suddenly started popping out. I didn't do anything about it, but phone stopped popping out at the end of those few weeks.
Sequoia (9/21) = left lower corner bad. The top edge of case in that corner does NOT seem to go over the phone metal edge completely…so, it slips off the metal edge easily. That corner does not “click” over the metal band of phone.
Midnight (9/21) = perfect x 4 corners. Every top edge come over the metal edge of phone nicely.
You almost can feel the difference just by sliding your finger along the top edge of the case. The Midnight has a more discernible lip while the Sequoia lower left corner, the lip is less “aggressive” feeling.

I have tried 3 different cases, Apple leather, Meifigno Clear case from Amazon and now using the Lonli leather case which is much nicer than the Apple leather case. My 13 Pro Max pops out on all of them. Lonli-Top left corner, Apple-bottom right corner and Meifigno-top right corner. All of the cases I have tried are MagSafe. Maybe a non MAgSafe case is the key here. Either there is an issue with the phone or the case manufacturers produced the cases incorrectly. I have typically used flip cases in the past and never had an issue. Something definitely isn't right here.
Lol exactly. The problem is the design, not the user. This case has no physical stop preventing the phone from popping out. This was a conscious choice by apple, to keep the “MagSafe” concept intact. They say the magnets are what holds the case on, not a “wrap” around the front. Unfortunately the magnets aren’t strong enough to overcome the friction that remains from the case sides when the phone pops out slightly.
It’s a bad (or poorly considered) design. Especially for a 2T company
I also think seeing the metal band slightly around all of the edges was something they wanted to keep, and wrapping the leather around the phone slightly would hide it. Again, I personally don’t like this choice but I suspect others do.
I can see the stainless steel frame all around the phone with the apple leather case on. Is that ok?. I used an Spigen case that has like a lip so the phone gets under it and make a “click” when it fits.
The apple leather is tight but not “click” when I put it on, is like is pressed in?
Talking about this is ridiculous hahaha

Just dropping in to say.. I bought the Midnight leather case for my 13P upon release and had the corners popping off as above.
I raised a return with Apple but never went through with it, mostly for laziness reasons.
A few weeks later and the corners don’t pop off at all now. Nothing scientific to report but for whatever reason - it was awful and now it’s fine.

Something similar happened to me with the black Apple leather case for my 12 Pro Max. For a long time, the corners weren't popping off. But then, I started to notice that my silent toggle was switched. At first I thought I was doing it and forgetting to switch it back, until I noticed the phone sticking out in that corner. However, after a week, it stopped popping out again.
Anyone of you having problem with the metal frame getting scratched because of the leather case As I have been hearing a lot regarding the same.
I heard you should take out the case from time to time to remove any debris that might have entered.
Scratched steel frames on the iPhone 13 Pro...
Hi! A few days ago I bought a leather case for the iPhone 13 Pro. The problem was that removing the case from the phone was very hard and it cost me a lot. When checking the steel frames I realized that it had a small scratch and I don't know if it was from removing the cover or if it was...

Just got the sequoia green leather from Amazon (9/21) and top left and bottom right kept popping off and my mute switch keep turning on.
Got another sequoia green same 9/21 date and is much better. ??♂️

Got mine off Amazon too - Perfect fit, first time.
Much better than the trial and error I went through with Baltic Blue and Black leather cases with my 12Pro
My golden brown case pops off at the corners quite regularly as well. It‘s pretty annoying, but I can‘t see there being much of an improvement since most cases don‘t have the lip around the front that used to grip the older iPhone 11s and previous phones.
I had one for my 12 pro and felt it was attached well (never came loose at all and hard to get off) until it dropped waist high onto concrete, two corners popped loose and the stainless steel was scratched. I wouldn't count on these magsafe Apple cases protecting the phones until they wrap over the front like most good cases. They are nice feeling and look great though!
