Accident tested and approved.

After Having the case for 7 months i have had no faults i was recently in an accident at 60MPH on my motorcycle where my phone was launched off of its mount smashing in to the ground to my amazement the phone was completely undamaged, even the case was usable afterward however did have signs of cosmetic damage damage with the plastic no longer smooth and the fabric scratched and peeled in the corners. the phone could still be held in the case. I would recommend these cases to anyone who appreciates good quality and still wants a working phone to use af being in an accident.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great so far. Nice design and mounting

Only a couple days into use but wanted to leave an initial review. Used on iPhone 13 Pro Max
Screen protector:
A lot of reviews put me off this product as if the screen protector peeled off it would be a deal breaker. I’m happy to say that it works with a close fit (see photos) using the Spigen EZ fit tempered glass. I think other brands may be too large for this case or they’ve been installed not perfectly central and therefore the case catches it.

Design:
Real nice design with the grey material and black boarders. The buttons are easy to push and it’s as comfortable as can be to hold for a large phone. I saw a review saying the bottom can dig into your pinkie. However it is only slight and haven’t yet found it a problem.

Mounting:
I got the creator kit as I intend to the mount this to the capture kit (see photos) and the wall mount to fix to my paragliders flight deck. It fits great and locks in well giving me piece of mine as I don’t want my phone to fall out of the air when mounted. This is the only product that meets this requirement so if your mounting your phone in ski/bike etc this is great for those types of activities.

Overall I thinks it’s great so far, looks great, mounts well and actually works with a screen protector. I think it’s good value and cheaper than generic apple cases and the MagSafe accessories work well and the magnets are nice and strong.
Will update if things change

Soft Power Button
on December 3, 2021
Posted by: Iggy

Definitely great build quality. The only issue is that the power button triggers with a soft touch. I can even turn on the phone by pressing on the edge. It's constantly turning on and off as I'm holding it. Pretty annoying if you ask me. But who knows maybe with time the button will soften up and start behaving reasonably. For reference I'm using the iPhone 13 mini version.

Sharp bottom edges ruin an otherwise great case
on December 13, 2021
Posted by: Lewis

The case is well designed and slick. I appreciate that it doesn’t have extra grippy plastic that makes it a pain to get into and out of pocket.
I hold my phone in my right hand with my pinkie supporting the bottom of the phone. The case has deep, sharp cutouts for the lightning port and speaker grills (both of them even though one is not actually a speaker). I find that the bottom of the case cuts into my finger and is uncomfortable over time. Not an issue when holding the phone without a case or with a QuadLock case.

Shut up and take my money.

Very happy with the case. Magsafe accessories work great, wireless charging as well. Got to beta test this with a motorcycle mount. That sold me. Had an x grip with the rubber band thingy. By far this beats the pant off it. First thing I did after I came back from my first ride was order the rest of the accessories… all of them…
I’ve used the anchor system (looped at the bottom of the case) and cuff successfully while endangering my fruity investment to get some killer shots. Have a Volta charger (thing old MagSafe) dongle in the bottom that works with the case well too. Never had an issue with screen protector (self align spigen).
I have had no issues with the case in my pocket. Doesn’t snag, easy to grip. One gripe is the camera bump (with wallet on the back it wont matter) but that starts with the phone.
I feel like things you use in your life that you don’t think about, they just work are the best investments. This has been one of those for me. I wish I got the loop back to test, but thats coming later for #13. Just need to convince the rest of the family how much they need these in their lives.

Well-designed, good value (IF using Peak products)
on April 26, 2023

I've come to appreciate Peak Design's very well-thought out and manufactured mobile accessories. And this case is no exception. My favorite detail is that screen edges of the case barely interfere with swiping, especially for unlocking and Notification/Control Center gestures. However I'd pay more if they offered aluminum buttons and just ever so slightly less prominent. Since the magnets are only "MagSafe compatible", it doesn't connect as strongly to MagSafe chargers as a case that is specifically for MagSafe, which is a little disappointing if you use a vertical mount like in a vehicle. The connection to the mobile wallet is very secure so I ordered the Peak Design 1" charging ball mount (waiting for it to ship as of this review.) Personally, I would have preferred if the edges of the case were flatter, to better match the iPhone 14 Pro profile.

Clean, sleek case for all your activities

After putting this case through everyday use for several months the case still looks like new. It’s held my IPhone securely through multiple off-road motorcycle adventures as well as suffered thousands of miles of gravel cycling on bars, pockets and packs. It handles drops while keeping your phone from being beat up. A great case and essential to mate up to all your mounting requirements while being slimmer and less prone to slipping when covered in grease than competitors cases. Highly recommend!

Almost perfect!
on December 31, 2021

I don’t write a lot of reviews but I’m so delighted with this case that I feel compelled: It is the best phone case I’ve ever had. It feels very protective without adding a lot of bulk, and I love the understated design. It looks and feels more expensive than it is.
The magnetic/locking mounting system is ingenious and is rock solid on my bike. It feels so sturdy that I’m sure I could lift the entire bike off the ground with my phone.
I’ve already accidentally dropped the phone onto concrete and later a tile floor and both times the phone and the case were unscathed. The case fits like a glove and extends upward around the edges of the screen more than most, which I think probably adds some protection, but…
As others have pointed out, if you already have a screen protector on your phone, you will probably have to remove it. The case fits so tightly that it tends to rub against the edges of the screen protector and lift it from the glass.
I got my screen protector to work by using the case itself as a template for installation: I removed the phone from the case, cleaned around the inside edge of the case with an alcohol wipe, and used another alcohol wipe to clean the phone glass. Once everything was throughly dry, I made sure both the phone and the edge of the case were dust and lint-free and then installed the phone in the case, careful not to touch the edges of the phone and leave smudges in the process. Then I used the stickers that came with my screen protector to gently remove any lingering dust. Then I applied the screen protector by centering it over the phone and lowering the protector at an angle until the top edge of the protector just *barely* touched the top edge of the phone case. When they were in contact, I dropped the protector down to cover the rest of the screen. Once installed, I used the edge of a credit card to gently smooth out any bubbles.
The only other thing I would improve is that rubber around the sides of the case could be a little more pleasant to the touch. This sounds weird but it feels to me kind of like the texture of chalk, or a terracotta pot. This is a very minor quibble, though.
All things considered, I think it deserves 5 stars. It exceeded my high expectations.
