Slim case for Pro 13 max without "lip" around front screen ?

[WNYX]

@WNYX can you post your thoughts on this case once you receive it? 😁

My case came in early, so I've used it for a day. Here are my thoughts:

- There is no branding except a logo on the back (bottom right corner).
- Since the case is so thin, you definitely feel the sharp edges of the phone. You take for granted how other cases cushion the edges.
- The volume buttons are perfect. Since the case is so thin, it feels like you're just pressing the phone's buttons without any interference.
- The power button might be a deal breaker for you. As you can see from the picture, the case doesn't hug the right side of the phone. This means the case slightly hovers over the power button, so when you press the button on the case, you feel two feedbacks - one pressing the case and then the case pressing the phone. It's hard to explain, but it's definitely noticeable. It feels like with one press, you're pressing the power button twice. I read this same complaint on some reviews I read but bought the case anyway because it was relatively cheap.
- Like the Peel and Totallee cases, this case will definitely warp and lose its shape the more you take it off and on.

(I'm using an ESR screen protector in this picture.)

This picture is with a spigen screen protector. Without it the lip is higher.
The lip is thin and not so pleasant to run your finger over. Not really sharp but I lack a better word to describe it.
Id love to have the edge to end below the screen instead. Like on my iphone xs max.

This is an exaggeration. You don’t need to touch those lips to swipe…

The benefits of having a lay on table design to protect your screen is worth having those raised edged imo.

You’ve just got to learn to swipe from further in…

Thanks for the feedback Well, looking at this photo my OCD kicks in I wouldnt stand looking at the side of the case that doesnt hug the phone. Its a case that had potentials but that ruined it for me!

I agree. I was really looking forward to this case because it checked a lot of boxes for me (I don't really care about drop protection). I'm looking at the case more closely right now and the button on the case is smaller than the actual power button on the phone, which explains why it's not hugging the phone and it looks like it's hovering. Instead of fitting around the power button, the case is sitting on top of it.

Btw Totallee launched a new magsafe case before a few hours! That one looks interesting!

You're right. It looks interesting. Same thickness and weight that I love about Totallee, plus MagSafe? On paper, it looks promising. I'm going to have to check it out.

There is a detailed video review in amazon by someone who bought the non magsafe one which is the exact same case minus the magsafe sticker.

My case came in today. My full review is here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-13-mini-pro-max-merged.2309488/post-30711544

But, I would highly suggest a Spigen Thin Fit instead for the price. The Totallee case is wider and taller than the Spigen Thin Fit. The Spigen has better grip and feels like better protection. The Totallee is a great case if you don't have a case yet, but there are better and cheaper options out there for basically the same case.
