Hi All,
It's my first new iphone since my X, and a lot has changed. I'd appreciate some insight from the hivemind.

A few key facts that drive my decision: I'll be getting a 13 Pro Max on Friday, sierra blue. I think the color looks good, and am somewhat interested in having it visible, but not at the expense of durability. I have two small boys (2 and 4) and dad's phone is a highly sought after target....so it gets dropped/thrown/stolen/random liquids/etc frequently. So I'm not interested in going 'naked'.

Second is that with my X, I have had a wallet case. and in all honesty, never use a wallet anymore. I love just having 2 cards with me at all times, and if I've got my phone, I'm good. Driver's License, backup CC, phone, all in one sleek package. That being said, it'd be nice to not have the cards on it at all times, as I really only need them when i'm out and about, and there's no small fear of losing them due to random drops around the house (frequent).

I also don't want a bulky case - I had one of those otterbox Defenders back in the day and my god it was big - and with the PM being big itself, I don't want the bulk.

I'm planning on either the Caudabe Sheath or the Otterbox Symmetry, with the apple leather wallet, and a car magsafe mount (to be decided). I've also seen a few magsafe wall mounts, which looks intriguing - just store the wallet on the wall anytime I'm at home. Any suggestions/insights/experiences are appreciated.
 
I prefer minimal cases and have been very happy with the RhinoShield bumper case. Protects the edges, gives a better grip, and the thickness keeps the screen and back from touching surfaces it placed upon. With nothing on the back it doesn’t interfere with wireless charging. I think it has minimal kid protection.
