I was gonna do the same with the clear case until I read so many terrible reviews. Decided to get a leather case instead.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 13 The new Sierra Blue is the best color by far

Bless your heart! It looks beautiful and is the best match for the SB option, but it will get dirty so fast! I went with the Dark Cherry instead.
Here’s another shot comparing Sierra Blue, 13 Blue and Pacific Blue.
Personally, I think both the Sierra and Pacific look great - just, don’t expect the same from them. Sierra is clearly a lot more ‘icy’ with some silver tones, think of a glacier as someone else in this thread put it, while the Pacific last year was a more dark teal like with some teal in it. Simple matter of whichever you prefer
silver/white pro max. I went with the color I thought would look best (the camera portion) in a case..... I didn't want boring graphite.... I didn't want gold based on apple's pictures and everyone already knows I'm not a fan of the shade of blue... and more specifically the shade of the camera area... which is what I will see.... so white it is!
(even hubby changed his order from the blue 13 to the starlight after seeing the reviews yesterday.... he thought it was going to be a darker blue... )
I know when I see the pink in the store I'm going to be sad that they didn't make the pro in that color!
I wonder if it looks/feels the same as the clear for the 11? I had one because I wanted to see the gorgeous green.... but I didn't like the feel or look of the case.... so ended up with the green leather that year....
apple REALLY dropped it this year with no blue leather case to coordinate with that blue phone (and NO... the midnight is NOT blue enough... it needed to be a blue like the back of the iMacs....
ok.... ya... the black one.... the green is a no go based on what it looks like on apples page nor is the plum.
brown.... ya... not so much. but then I've never been a fan of wearing a brown shirt with blue jeans either....
well.... if you base it on a lot of the comments here... it's because it's the NEW color.... and a lot of people have to have the new color whether they like it or not...
just look at how many people have posted that they ordered it but they aren't crazy about the color!?
at least they aren't blatantly saying it's so everyone will know they have the newest iPhone like the one guy did a couple of years ago... admitted to hating the color but buying it because he wanted everyone to know how cool he was
or slightly darker but in the same... hue? is that the word I'm looking for?
I can't remember exactly what I posted when I returned mine 2 years ago.... I do know I didn't like the look on the phone (I think someone recently said jellyfish.... that's a good descriptor!) and I remember not liking the feel... but I was coming off a good apple leather at that time, too... before they cheaped out on their leather!
I’m one of those people, I got it because it’s the best out of a bad bunch. Should I not update my phone just because Apple didn’t make an awesome color this year?
I ordered the blue cuz I think it's a great color, and it is very similar to the blue of the prostate cancer foundation. I am a pc patient, and my step father passed away from it 5 years ago.
I got to see the Sierra Blue today and it honestly looks awesome under certain lighting but then it looks like light graphite (grayish) in some angle. It is different.
What I like about it is the light blue frame. If you are going to use the phone without a case, you will love it.
If you wish to use a case, then you must go for a clear case.
I tried some apple cases and the only case that goes well with it is the Blue Jay silicone case. The rest just don’t look as good. The beauty of the phone is the shiny blue frame. Once it gets covered, it makes no difference if you have the Sierra Blue or a light graphite phone. The Blue Jay Silicone Case gives a very casual look to the phone. I don’t know how to describe it but it just doesn’t stand out. It just matches the Sierra Blue, that’s it.
A clear case will be far better as you can really see the Sierra Blue color perfectly.

True if you are going to use a case then getting any color will make no difference.
Sierra Blue iPhone 13 pro is made to be used without a case or with a clear case.
Get it with Apple Care+ and use it without a case.
Sounds like the perfect color for me, coming from years and years of silver phones. Plan on using it without a case. So excited!

I think you make a very good point, I remember back when the 11 Pro was new and that was last upgrade time for me and that was when Apple first started this trend of new-exclusive colour for the Pro each year; I remembered being tempted by the Midnight Green, but went Space Grey in the end, as I knew deep down that green was never my thing. I got Space Grey because I liked that one most at the time and never regretted it.
However its also worth considering that peoples tastes in colours can change, for the better or worse; two years later I’m positively bored of Space Grey/Graphite (yes they are the same thing in all but name) and crave a change - I also find the Midnight Green compelling nowadays and would 100% pick it if we were back in 2019 again and/or if it were offered with the 13 Pro today.
Definitely pick the colour that you personally like the most and not whichever one is the newest, just because its the newest.
Thanks for sharing.
At least on Apples website, i myself have found it pretty hard to match any of the leather cases to Sierra, and can concur that I also found Blue Jay silicone was probably the best match - heres hoping we get new leather colours soon, if they really wanted to be lazy all they had to do was bring back the Baltic Blue case from last year, it would’ve matched Sierra better than anything they’re currently offering.
Otherwise, clear case or naked with AppleCare+ probably also sounds like a safe choice
My same thoughts. I love blue and wanted to try something different this year than previous (silver/white) years. I got the Apple clear case just to have it but I will probably go case less.
Saw the video again with sound this time. It seems it’s a iPhone 12PM Silver with de Blue Jay Silicone Case. I don’t know why it looks like blue.
Sorry for the misunderstanding
