In its case.
iPhone 13 should have had a name . . . like "iPhone 13 Standard" or "iPhone 13 Generic" or "Eye Phone XIII" ?? -- The problem is that when a person searches for cases, or any other addition to your new 13 online (Ebay, Amazon, etc), searches for "iPhone 13" always include the Mini, the Pro and the Pro Max too. So a poor soul like myself has to screen through all four models. Another rich Apple iPhone owner problem - life is tough!!

In Google you can exclude things.

For instance, a Google search like this (without the quotes): 'iPhone 13 case -Mini -Pro -Max' would exclude the 13 Mini, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max from the search.

On eBay you can specify which models you're looking for in the sidebar. No idea about Amazon as I don't usually do much shopping there.

Nice! I did not know that - placing a minus sign excludes the following terms. Thanks for the tip! ?

You're welcome!

Another thing is you can also use quotes. It tells Google that whatever is in quotes is the exact thing you are looking for, spaces, punctuation and spelling et. al.

The combination of quotes and excluding search terms can be very useful. However, if your search is too narrow you can also end up with nothing.
