Anyone is planning on buying iPhone 14 and already ordered cases? I don't like the cases Apple provide at the store and I would like to get my case before I get my iPhone 14. I would prefer a case that is light and small but protects the phone. Please have some suggestions so I have a better idea of where to choose my iPhone 14 case.
 
the phone isn't even out yet so unless you're getting a case from a shady website then there will be no suggestions
 
Great question! I like to prepare and have a case before I get the new 14. Amazon has some cases for the 14 out already. I’ll probably wait till next week when there are more to choose from. I always get a clear spigen case from Amazon first, it’s cheap and it shows off the new color of the iPhone. Then I get a Kate spade case once more brands release the new version.

I might do that as well, I think I will get a cheap one for now. I think I'll just use the cheap one til more people share their experiences on their 14 case, see if I could go from there.

I’ve never never understood this line of thinking. In order to use apple care, your phone must be broken, right? Which means I have to go out of my way to either send in my phone or go to the Apple Store to get it repaired/replaced. Either way, it’s a distraction and hassle…which could have been solved with any number of cheap cases.

Should a user have both? Sure. But to say “Apple care is my case” is just a short sighted statement IMO.
 
I’m hoping Caudabe come out with the clear case they had for the 12 Pro Max for the 14 Pro Max. That is my go to case. I’m also going to use a bumper once they release one (I had to get one AliExpress and it was a good quality bumper.

If you want to use your iPhone without case, like me, AC+ is peace of mind. And a good way to have the iPhone replaced after less than 2 years with a new/refurbished one for 99€.

I am a minimalist as well when it comes to cases

I have bought mine (Courtesy of AliExpress) for the Pro

They already had them when I ordered 2 months ago and the options have grown tremendously by now

and I am just waiting for Tim to release the phones

I like their Lucid Clear cases for the rounded side phones like iPhone 11. But when I tried to put one on my daughter’s 12 Pro it put a nasty scratch into the steel side. There were fit problems with my 12 Pro as well. I guess they’ve worked that out? At any rate it’s good to hear you’re satisfied with them because I’d really like to give them another chance. They do have excellent customer service in my experience that puts other case companies I’ve dealt with to shame.

Yes their customer service is the best. I’ve built my rewards points up with them in time for the 14 release. The Lucid Clear is the only clear case I love. Totallee will announce their cases on 9/7.

Their screen protectors have been great for me, too. I’ll have to see if I’ve got points accrued. I buy their cases and screen protectors for close friends and family, too.
 
Got the Caudate Sheath in crimson red - and now it's reported "sold out"... sweet score!

any ideas on really light cases ?
Caudate has a line called "veil" that is "impossibly thin" (their words).

Totallee also has a thin case ("world's thinnest") again, their words.
