Stopped buying the Apple Silicone cases because of the wear and tear. For my 14 Pro Max I bought the Caseology Parallax and I like the looks and how it feels. Only thing I do not like is a bit of a sharp spot on the bottom left corner of the case. I think it has to do with the production proces of the case.
I’ve been shifted completely to Caudabe now because of you. Used to use the Latercase but with nearly zero protection I just can’t do it anymore. I’ll never buy an Apple case again either. Wears out in a couple of weeks.
That's what's up and glad I could put you on to them. Yeah I've never used the Apple case long term but I've always heard they wear out pretty quickly.
13 Pro owner here Ordered 2 Caudabe Sheaths (1 black and 1 mesa blue) and a ESR Hybrid case - frosted back and solid black edges so no yellowing and less slippy than clear edges I still use and enjoy Apple silicone cases tho
I have the gold 13 pro my friend. I bought the paralax however you spell it in blue and burgundy. I still have them. They’re one of my favorite cases. I bought them after you made your video recommending them
Man I liked the Apple Silicone case, but the price was high but also that it took every single piece of lint out of my pocket lol. Would've been worth it for 25-30 dollars, maybe.
I used to have the sheath on but I shifted to the synthesis simply because the magsafe ring got visible on the sheath overtime coz of the strong magnet and dust sticking to it ,but either way both are great cases and has great grips.
Great comparison Tee apples price of both there silicone and leather cases are a hard hill to climb no doubt. Another suggestion which I feel compares a lot to the apple silicone case is magbak’s case. Very similar feel to the Apple silicone case. However I have found that my magbak case doesn’t get as much dust and lint on the case as Apples case so I actually prefer my magbak to the Apple silicone case. But for price it’s probably around the same price as Apple’s silicone case. But with magbak you get a wallet that holds more cards works as a stand and they give extra magnets you can use in your car as a car phone holder. It works really well with the magnetic car holder. Just my thoughts I will definitely check out these other alternatives 🙏🏻
If you are going to spend anything more than 30 dollars for a case get the ones from apple . Others are not worth the money Atleast if you get an apple case you have an original case from apple the way they intended it .
Great review here!! I have the Caudabe Sheath and Caseology cases shown in the video. Although they are excellent cases I still prefer my Apple silicone case. The only reason being is the Apple case has a better grip and softness to it to me. The Caudabe and Caseology began to hurt my hand after a few days and were more slippery in comparison to my Apple Silicone case.
@@SONYWHXM This is very true but it also doesn’t slide out of my pocket when I sit or stand. I often swap the cases around but if I had to choose one, it would be Apple silicone.
I’ve been using the apple silicone cases for a number of years. I’ve tried and tried, but the cases are just not great anymore. The quality has gone downhill, the edges have started to peel and little bits have started to peel off. Not a fan anymore.
The magnets don’t matter when the back of the silicone case makes it so grippi that any MagSafe product work cole out the wallets even tho it may have weaker magnets than the Caudabe stick better because the back I’m the wallet really stick to it. The MagSafe testing is not a real life situation with MagSafe product the slide don’t pull.
I may switch my Apple silicone Case for one of those. Are you ever going to do a what’s on my iPhone 14 Pro Max video? A lot of people like to see how people have their phones set up. Popular video on TH-cam
The Amethyst looks alot darker on here than on there website, does it change depending on the lighting or is it a darker shade of purple cause on here it looks fire!
As an Apple stan, Tee I agree that probably the best alternative to the Apple silicone case is the Caudabe Sheath (I'm a member of the #sheathgang). I would love to see more of these "alternative buy" videos, too!
I have tried more than 25 cases . There’s no alternative to Apple silicone cases . If you like them u like them . No case can match it in terms of fit , finish and quality imho. Apple made the iPhone and it’s only logical that they made the best case for their baby .
Apple cases might be pricey but they last ! Always had them with every iPhone I’ve had my recent one lasted 2 years has wear on but like I say they last 👌🏻 Amazon had a sale on for apple case 14 pro max I paid £39 💪🏼
Do not buy apple cases because tee won’t get any affiliate links from apple or Amazon ( for apple products). Most TH-cam influencers do not recommend original cases even though deep down they know that they are the best . Especially the apple cases , you always get what u pay for cause none of these cases can match the fit , feel and finish of the apple case ( I have tried all these cases ). It’s fine bro I get it you gotta do what u gotta do . Cheers do what u do ❤
Deep down I don’t think they are the best at all. It’s not about affiliate sales at all. There are much better options. I wish people would stop thinking it’s all about the money because if you knew how little affiliate sales really are you might think about what you said.
Sure Man I respect your opinions. But it’s not right to just bash apple cases for the price . Mous and nomad are all equally priced if more expensive in some cases ( pun intended ) . In the 40-50 dollar price range apple does it the best . Maybe in the 10-20 dollar option you can argue about value for money . But if I’m gonna spend 40 dollars on a case I might as well get the original case . They are the best imho. The cases you mentioned here can no way match the fit and feel of the case . I really appreciate your opinions but in some cases you just have to hand it over to apple. Also none of the cases you mentioned here are completely silicone cases . They are all tpu hybrid and other materials. It’s high time we accept no one can make silicone cases like apple !
Apple cases are garbage. They were the first cases I got for my 13 and whenever i dropped it, the cases would pop out and i would see damage on the edges of the phone. Never buying apple cases again

My vote would have to go to the synthesis as case of the year. Perfect fit and just complements the phone so we’ll.

That's what's up and glad I could put you on to them. Yeah I've never used the Apple case long term but I've always heard they wear out pretty quickly.
I prefer Apple's because they're the thinnest. I don't like bulky cases. Caudabe Sheath/Synthesis are 2nd because of they're simply awesome.

Yeah the $50 price tag is a stretch for sure. Maybe $40 and that's a strong maybe.

damn
I’ve ordered the Sheath thinking it would not attract lint and dust
@@rafikz77 Barely Noticeable
My Synthesis got MagSafe ring marks immediately after first use 😭
@@NizarNoor been using mine since monday for my ip14 pro havent got any visible rings yet..you can reach out to caudabe for this issue..
@@louierodriguez3084 Thanks
These aresome of the most imformative videos! Please keep making them !!
Loved that Paralax for my 12 PM.
Yeah it's always been one of my favorites.
That color for the Apple silicone case though. Mmm mmm mmm mmm. Now I wish I waited a little bit to get the new purple Sheath color.
Sheath all day. Also one nice thing about living outside of the US is I've never seen anyone else on the street using one
Yeah it's still tons of people who still don't even know about the case.
@@TechnicallyTee European distributor would help!

but i find silicone case is pretty hard to take out of from the pocket cause it's so sticky

Awesome Video…Thanks
Love from UAE🇦🇪
Thanks much appreciated!! 💪🏽💪🏽
Yo my guy what’s going on great case options when will the Apple Watch ultra band video coming can’t wait my guy
Man that video is so behind but I promise you it’s coming for sure.
I’ve been using the apple silicone cases for a number of years. I’ve tried and tried, but the cases are just not great anymore. The quality has gone downhill, the edges have started to peel and little bits have started to peel off. Not a fan anymore.
Yeah that’s what’s I heard numerous times at this point.
Bro life saver I was about to click the check out button
How does the sheath feel in hand? Does it have a weird texture? Tempted to order.
So you are saying that the Nano pop back cover is the same as the original Iphone case in terms of touch and smoothness?
The magnets don’t matter when the back of the silicone case makes it so grippi that any MagSafe product work cole out the wallets even tho it may have weaker magnets than the Caudabe stick better because the back I’m the wallet really stick to it.

Hey Tee, will you get the S23 Ultra when it comes out?
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day 💪🏻
These cases are dope! Thank you for this video,definitely going to order one of these in the next few weeks.
Maybe you could do a video on magsafe grips like the magsafe popsocket, rinoshield, etc
I would buy the Synthesis but its not on Amazon so oh well to bad 😢
Nice video bro 😎
Are you in another country?
The Amethyst looks alot darker on here than on there website, does it change depending on the lighting or is it a darker shade of purple cause on here it looks fire!
I have the Apple Ink Leather case and the Sheath in Dark Purple.
Definitely some 🔥 alternatives!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks bro. 💪🏽💪🏽
No problem Tee!! 💪🏻💪🏻
can you review the magbak case? with the wallet?
Yep I have it and it's coming.
@@TechnicallyTee Thank you. I value your input. Thats personally what i have. Switched from the nano pop to the magbak actually!
What’d you have to replace your iPhone for?
Morning coffee number 3 made myself a sandwich and a new video uploaded starting the day off great!
💪🏽💪🏽
In term of grip, synthesis or presidio grip?currently using zagg havana case, a bit slippery 😁

@@the.wavproject no
@@the.wavprojectthat silicone case is a slippery mess idk how people like the silicone case from Apple
@@the.wavproject
Best case? Lol. Would've been best if it was like $10. Maybe $20 with magsafe.
yo Tee check out the new spigen silicone fit mag , its basically the best silicone case out there especially in that price point
Apple case better than all of them cases I’ve had the lot of them. And the apple case is at £39 at the moment on Amazon
Too bad there are little to no matching cases for silver max 14 pro iphones.
Great choices. I ended up getting the silicone case (like new) for $21. Loved it til I got the leather case for $15. I hate taking it off 😂
Yeah, the Apple leather case is still pretty nice despite having fitness issues until it breaks in.
why did you switched your iPhone?
My original was having some issues with screen glitches.
Silicone picks up lent
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 My guy
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Kind of crazy considering how bad the Apple case is with being that expensive,
And it being Apple.
bought the speck presidio but my greasy hands couldnt handle the day to day usage thank you for this vid
Apple cases might be pricey but they last ! Always had them with every iPhone I’ve had my recent one lasted 2 years has wear on but like I say they last 👌🏻
