Looking for a good protective grippy case for a 13ProMax

[hassiman]

I just bought an iPhone 13 ProMax. I immediately bought a Pelican Protector case as I have used that case fot both my 6+ And 8+ and found it to be very protective and grippy enough not to slip through my fingers. Well the new Pelican For the 13 pro Max is not only flimsy but it’s slick as ice.
I need a case that is not slippery but also one that protects the camera lenses with a descent ridge and also has good interior and exterior shock absobtion and a high ridge around the front screen to protect the screen from falls…..
I have been looking at Mous and Catalyst cases. Should also be Magsafe.
Any suggestions?

Thanks…. Are the edges ( where your thumb is testing in the picture) flat and grippy or smooth like the protector❓Bow do you like it?

It’s not the grippiest case, it is somewhat smooth on the edges, but it definitely is not slippery. But it’s built like a tank.

Where did you find the shield with MagSafe!

I purchased a Pelican Shield, and added Mophie’s snap on MagSafe ring onto it myself. The MagSafe magnet is 30% stronger than Apple’s MagSafe. And it is permanently on there.

Does the Mophie MagSafe adaptor need to be glued to the back of the iPhone itself with the other half stuck to the outside of the case?

No, it comes with 3M tape already attached to the snap itself. You just add it to the outside of the case. That’s it.

Here is a picture of the edge. It’s not grippy, but it’s not slippery either. This case is built like a rock!

The warping over buttons is horrible!

The warping over buttons is horrible!

Those are raised areas so you can pull the latches open. I've had a couple of these for last years phone.
It's a solid case that makes a Defender seem skinny.

Those are latches made of hard plastic.there is no rubber, and there is no warping

Right but ugly design! Why not make indentation or something that is more subtle?

I’m not sure why they didn’t do indentations, but I don’t mind the design at all. I actually like the way it looks.
