Congratulations, you just got your brand new iPhone 12 Pro Max! If you are looking to get a good looking and protective case for your new phone take a look at the cases in this article. I’m sure there will be one for you too!

Whether you are looking for a case for your iPhone 12 Pro Max with the best drop protection or the case that gives you the best grip, you are at the perfect place. I will list all the best cases you can get for your iPhone in this article.

Apple Cases

Let’s begin with the first-party cases from Apple. I have always been a huge fan of the Apple cases. Particularly the silicone ones. Not only do they give you a very good grip on your phone, there now is another reason to choose these original Apple cases. This is because of the build-in MagSafe support. MagSafe support is also built into the new Leather cases and Clear case.

MagSafe enables you to use the new MagSafe charger through the case. Apple has built a magnet into the silicone cases so MagSafe accessories will stick to the case as well. This means you can use MagSafe to its full potential and charge at 15 Watts.

Also, if you are planning to buy an Apple MagSafe Wallet, make sure to buy a case with built-in MagSafe support. Otherwise, you are not able to stick the wallet to your phone using a case!

The Apple silicon cases come in a wide variety of colors. This also can be a reason to buy one of these cases.

As you can see in the image above, the silicon case is available in the colors Plum, Cyprus Green, Deep Navy, Black, Kumquat, Pink Citrus, Red, and White respectively. They all have a price of $49 on apple.com

The leather cases, on the other hand, don’t come in as many colors, but still gives you some beautiful options to choose from.

As you can see in the image above, the leather case comes in Saddle Brown, California Poppy, Red, Black, and Baltic Blue respectively.

The difference between these leather cases and the silicon ones is of course the material they are made of (as the name suggests). But also the buttons on the leather ones are made of metal instead of some kind of rubber-ish material. These leather cases all have a price of $59 on apple.com.

The last case Apple offers is the clear one. This is just a clear case with also MagSafe built-in. But because MagSafe is integrated into this clear case, you will see a magnetic circle in the middle of the case which you can see in the image below.

Mous cases

Other great Apple cases are the ones that Mous offers. They offer their Limitless 3.0 cases for the new iPhone 12 line-up.

These cases are built to save your phone during a drop using their AiroShock technology, so you don’t have to worry about dropping it. The case comes in 5 different styles, including some wood ones.

These cases are built with high-quality materials and offer some cool exclusive accessories which you can check out on their website here.

A thing to notice is that these cases don’t have MagSafe built into them! This means you can’t use your MagSafe charger through the case.

Spigen cases

Another great brand to look at is Spigen. Spigen offers some great and good looking cases for your new 12 Pro Max.

A couple of the best protective cases from Spigen are the Tough Armor, Slim Armor, and Slim Armor CS.

A couple of the best-looking cases from Spigen are the Slim Armor Essential S, S, Ultra Hybrid, and the Liquid Air.

These are just a couple of the whole range of cases Spigen has to offer. If you are looking for either a good looking or very protective case, Spigen is a brand to check out!

Otterbox Cases

One of my favorite cases for the iPhone 12 Pro Max are the ones from Otterbox. They also offer a wide range of different cases for everyone.

Please note that if you want a case that has built-in MagSafe you have to choose for the Symmetry Series+ with MagSafe!
