MagSafe Cases for the iPhone 14 Pro Max
If you have a new iPhone 14 Pro Max, it’s important to protect it from scratches, drops and other damage. These MagSafe cases provide a layer of protection while keeping the phone thin and lightweight.
The Otterbox Lumen Series provides a strong case for the iPhone 14. It includes MagSafe charging tech, and it also fits Moment lenses for those who like to shoot with their phones.
Otterbox Lumen Series
A clear case with a twist, Otterbox Lumen Series lets your phone shine through with a splash of color. These slim cases are designed for a snug fit and slip in and out of pockets easily. The recessed back resists scratches to keep your view of the iPhone clean and clear, while raised screen bumpers protect the phone from bumps. The bottom of the case has a carabiner clip that attaches to keys, wallets and backpacks.
Available in Eminence (Purple), Gallant (Silver), and Obsidian (Black), these MagSafe cases are available on Apple’s website and direct from Otterbox. They’re part of the brand’s Lumen collection, which also includes two-tone gradient options.
The case isn’t as rugged as some of Otterbox’s other cases, but it still offers a great deal of protection for your iPhone 14 Pro Max. It has a solid build and features precise cutouts for the cameras, charging port, speakers and mute toggle switch. It has a rubbery texture and offers good grips on the sides and bottom of the phone. The buttons work well, though we recommend taking the case off to clean it every once in a while as dust and debris can collect inside.
This case is also compatible with the Apple AirTag, which helps you find your things if they’re lost or stolen. The case has a small, hidden magnet that connects to the AirTag to help you track it.
Nomad Modern Leather
Nomad’s Modern Leather is a case that combines heritage Horween iphone 14 Pro Max custom case leather with rugged protection. The textured leather develops a rugged patina over time with use and ages beautifully, giving it a look that’s uniquely yours. The case is available in a number of California-inspired colorways and offers up to 10 feet of drop protection thanks to its 360deg TPE bumper. It also features two lanyard mounting points and MagSafe compatibility.
While it’s a bit pricier than the other options on this list, the Nomad is worth checking out. It has a nice fit, feels good in your hand and looks great. It’s made from vegetable-tanned Ecco leather with a low environmental impact and is available in black or brown. There’s a wallet version of the case that can hold three cards in a magnetic trapdoor.
Designed to work with Apple’s MagSafe connector, this case snaps into place and aligns perfectly with your iPhone’s magnets. It’s compatible with all MagSafe accessories and Qi-enabled wireless chargers. The case is a little thicker than some other options, but it provides excellent grip and protection. The leather surface is grippy and resists sliding, making it easier to attach and detach. Like all leather cases, it may show creases or marks over time and it can develop a natural patina with contact with other objects.
PopSockets MagSafe
There are tons of MagSafe accessories out there, from MagSafe phone holders to magnetic wallets that can hold a few cards. But this MagSafe PopSocket is unique in that it doesn’t require any gooey adhesive — instead, it attaches to your iPhone 12 or 13 using magnets. It also uses the same magnets to connect to other MagSafe mounts and stands, like this Mobi handle that doubles as a magnetic stand for home or office use.
It’s a bit more expensive than most other magnetic options, but the convenience of not having to worry about an adhesive could be worth the extra cost. Plus, you can swap out the PopSocket top for others if you want to change up your look or style, from the classic plastic ones to more premium choices like this vintage-looking Coca-Cola spinner.
It’s available in five different color options, including the sleek black one shown here, and can be positioned to either grip your phone or prop it up as a vertical stand for video calls and apps like FaceTime. It can be used with most cases, including Apple’s leather iPhone cases and clear plastic models, though it doesn’t seem to stick as well to non-MagSafe cases. The company says it’s made with neodymium, which is about 6x stronger than competing MagSafe accessories.
Apple Clear Case
Apple’s own case isn’t as thick as others here but offers a clean look and support for MagSafe accessories. It has a slight lip for the camera and a iphone 14 Pro Max custom case scratch-resistant finish that should hold up well over time. Its soft build will better absorb impacts too. Apple’s case is available in both hard and soft versions, the latter being a good choice for those who like a slightly more minimal design.
Another case from the same company, this one combines a sleek clear back with a black bumper to keep your iPhone 14 Pro Max secure and stylish. It also features raised edges for the screen and buttons. The case doesn’t add as much supplemental protection against drops as some of the other options on this list, but it is very affordable and easy to install.
If you’re looking for a more traditional leather option, Nomad’s Modern Leather is an excellent choice for those with a more refined taste. The material is sustainably sourced and has a luxurious texture that will age nicely over time. The case isn’t as protective as some of the other options on this list but offers 10 feet of drop protection.
For those who want to protect their new iPhone with a case that isn’t as bulky, Smartish’s Gripmunk offers a few different patterns that you can choose from. It has built-in magnets that align perfectly with your iPhone for a magical attach experience and faster wireless charging, plus it’s optimized to prevent yellowing over time.
