I've had this case about a month and love the design. I would not normally have purchased a case with fabric or a "finger loop," but it was the one available. I like the idea of the stronger magnets for the magsafe charging and the SlimLink is a game changer for my mountain bike rides! No more bulky generic phone holder, this system allows me to go from my car charger/mount to my bike without worry! The finger loop was an unexpected bonus, as my fingers are generally too large for a typical loop like this. It fits (just barely), but enough that I feel comfortable not dropping my phone while using it.
I was initially worried about the fabric back, but the texture is great and it doesn’t easily get stained or dirty. I have the version with the loop as well and it’s very handy. Added the bike mount to and this is easily the most functional case I’ve ever owned.
I bought this case about 6 weeks ago and the loop has already failed. There is a small metal disk in the loop that is magnetic and makes the loop lie flat. The inner seam on the loop split and the small metal disk has fallen out. Seems like a pretty major fault for and expensive case that they peak design hypes so much. It was a good idea but the manufacturing sucks.
I mainly wanted this case because it is useful for mounting my phone to my bicycle handlebars, using the out front mount. It works perfectly for that - feels bulletproof and secure. However, it's quickly become my favorite iPhone case. It feels great in the hand, protects well in a fall, and has great magnets on the back. This case feels as if it has an even stronger attachment than the case for my iPhone 14, which already felt great. I really can't find any weakness in this product.
This case can not be beat, you get the best protection while still in a slim profile. Magsafe works perfectly through the case and even feels enhance if I'm being honest. The texture of the fabric has been enhanced from last year's model, I really like both the visual of it and the physical texture. My one gripe is the finger loop doesn't fit as flush as it did for the last few years and sticks out a little bit awkwardly. I'm glad the action button was figured out this year and no longer wobbles around in the case. We even have the inclusion of the Camera Control button cutout, it was able to be included at release thankfully! Will continue to but from Peak Design for my cases, I really hope the loop goes back to fitting flush though.
This is my second peak design iPhone case, I upgraded my phone so I bought this one. Over the years, I have bought a lot of cases and attachment grips, hoping for something that works for me. This is the best one, also MagSafe is very strong. My only negative is I feel like the case and especially accessories that go with it are pretty pricey.
Not very happy because of sharp edges, I will use it only on my bike ride. Everyday use is not comfortable enough. Sharp edges on photo button is not peak design style. Need to be improved with button like Apple Original case.
I had the Everyday Case for my iPhone 13 mini and bought one for my iPhone 16. In general, it’s a great case. The fabric feels good in the hand, provides a good hold, and looks great. It offers protection without being very bulky and works well with MagSafe. So why deduct a star? Camera Control. The cutout for Camera Control doesn’t work well: I have to place my finger just so to get it to trigger but most of the time it takes multiple tries: it gets in the way of using the control. I tried an OtterBox case which used a bottom similar to that on Apple’s cases: it’s a much better solution. I almost returned the case but am keeping it a bit longer to see if I’ll get used to it, because I really like everything else about the case. Still not sure if I’ll keep it, I may switch to a less attractive Apple case that works better for camera control.
