Apple iPhone 13 Silicone Case with MagSafe - Blue Jay | Slim Protective Cover | Perfect for Everyday Use, Work & Travel

This is gonna sounds strange, but it liked the new apple/fresh smell of this olivine case once I put it on. Besides that it’s a thin yet grippy and protective case. The MagSafe magnets are really strong, and is made of non slip silicone. I’m thinking about buying another silicone case for my iPhone 14 pro max.So far this review is based on a first impression as I just got it today. Ordered the clover green to match my phone and it's beautiful. It's very smooth and soft, but will likely be very easy for it to slip out of my hands so I have to be mindful of that. No damages of any kind out of the box, but I know silicone can dry up over time and crack so I'll have to find a way to keep the material as long lasting as possible. The inside feels like velvet and you can see the magsafe charger imprint on the inside. I will leave an updated review after some time has passed or if something really weird happens to it. So far I am pleased with this purchase.This is a good phone case. Fits nicely, not to bulky. Super slippery though. Bought a pop socket to try and helpThe case is a little bit expensive, but it’s still a really good case. The silicone feels really soft to touch and it is also very durable. The fit is tight, and the screen and camera are protected well.I love how beautiful and durable this phone case is. It’s not too sticky feeling either. It slides easily into my purse pocket. But it’s also grippy enough to not slide out of my hands when holding. Perfect!N/aThis case is flexible and easy to get on and off but I was hoping it would have more traction on slick surfaces. Also I have a wrist loop that I need to attach to the case because we are boaters and I need to make sure I don’t drop it in the water. There isn’t a way to attach it on this case — the bottom has only one opening (for the charger). I had to buy a Speck which has three openings — I use one of the sound openings.I ordered and received the Apple Silicone Case with MagSafe (for iPhone 13) - Abyss Blue. I typically only use cases when I'm traveling or doing something outside that might increase drop risk. But I decided to order this case by Apple to see how it performs day to day, especially since Apple says it's a low profile case. As someone who doesn't like cases, I am pleased by how low profile it turned out to be. So good on that.In terms of overall feel, I think this case is nice to hold. I personally like the iPhone 12/13 body style with the flat sides. A friend of mine also ordered this case with his 13 and he doesn't like the flat sides for the phone (and case, clearly). Time will tell if the case feel changes over time with use. It's not really slippery, just smooth.Some other, final notes:- I don't know how best to explain this, but the case doesn't cover the body of the phone all the way to the black bezels, so it leaves a part of the aluminum exposed. I don't have any concerns from a protection perspective, just a visual one. I have the "Starlight" (white) iPhone 13 with silver aluminum sides. With the case I see screen, black bezel, silver aluminum, then blue case. I am not sure if I like it or dislike it, but I definitely noticed it as soon as I put the case on. [10/21/21 Update: This is still quite visually annoying. I partly wish I had gone with the black/midnight color iPhone 13 so this wouldn't happen with cases.]- The MagSafe feature seems to work fine. If I have any issues I will update this review. [10/21/21 Update: Works great with the Belkin Car Vent MagSafe holder and Apple MagSafe charger. I do not see any lasting circular marks so far.] [12/14/21 Update: MagSafe circle is starting to persist on the back of the case.]- The case has a little bump near the camera bump which means the phone doesn't lay flat. I'm slightly annoyed with this but for no reason besides wanting my phone to lay flat. The cameras should be better protected with the case, especially with the bump in the case, so I guess that's a perk. [Update 10/21/21: The good news is that with the case I can set the phone screen side down with no worries (lays completely flat this way), and I can lay it screen side up and it doesn't really move as much as it would without the case.)- When you put the case on, the phone displays the charging MagSafe ring with the color of the case. I may or may not have taken the case on and put it back on a few times because it's a nifty little feature. [Update 10/21/21: I've found myself taking the case on and off sometimes just to see this happen. It's really cool.]- My rating and review as of 9/29/2021 does not consider the protective value of this case. If/when I drop my phone in the case I will update this review accordingly. [10/21/21 Update: I rarely drop my phone, but when I do, it's a really bad time to drop it. I dropped it from about 3 feet onto a concrete floor. The case at the top left has a little indent, but it's not terrible. The phone itself has *no* scratches, etc.] [***12/14/21 Update: Terrible protection. I dropped the case from about 5 feet on a sidewalk. It fell roughly facedown, but the bottom right corner hit the ground first. Not only did the case get chipped, but my phone was chipped too. What's the point of a case if it doesn't provide any protection? I cannot recommend this case at all.]9/29/2021: 5/5 stars for smooth feeling, premium looking case that seems to provide decent protection10/5/2021: 4/5 stars - dropping a star because the case picks up a lot of pocket lint and then ends up being really dusty and linty. If this won't bother you, then consider it still a 5 star product.10/21/2021: 4/5 stars - the lint thing is still annoying me, along with the visual issue of seeing the faint silver aluminum outline of the phone. However I almost raised it back to 5 stars because of how well it protected my phone when I dropped it on concrete.11/01/2021: 4/5 stars - started to notice the case was starting to show where the MagSafe charger fits on the back of the case. I've still only dropped it that one time on concrete. Case still seems find overall, still collects lint.12/14/2021: 1/5 stars - I've only dropped my phone 2 times. The first time the case chipped but the phone was protected. The second time, earlier this week, the case chipped *and* the phone chipped as well. I am extremely disappointed by this case's lack of protection. Avoid this case if possible.I was surprised how much nicer this is than the £12 no-brand case I upgraded from.The bezel is way narrower and it makes the phone look sleeker. The feel of the material is excellent. And it matches the Midnight colour rather than just being generic black.I'm not an Apple fanboy particularly, and I won't shell out for most of their accessories because of their ludicrous prices. But this one is worth the extra money.If you're going to spend £700+ on a phone, you might as well spend £40 on a case.Die Hülle sieht super aus und ist zumindest von innen super verarbeitet, für den Preis auch zu erwarten. Was allerdings nicht so toll ist, ist dass sich die Silikonbeschichtung an den Ecken bereits ablöst. Und sie ist mir nicht runtergefallen, die löst sich immer mehr und mehr ab. Für den Preis nicht angebrachtApple cases are VERY expensive but compared to the usual silicone cheap ones for under a tenner they are super high quality. Everything fits, great to hold and stunning colourMust admit, this is a great little case. Purchased for my new iPhone as I normally buy a generic one but cause I’ve paid quite a bit for the new phone, I wanted something sturdier.It’s easier to hold than a generic case (less slippy), fits perfectly around the case and has MagSafe so that I can charge it quickly with my watch charger if needed.The reviews state that it lasts longer than your average case but as I’ve had it just over a week, I can’t comment on that yet but it does seem to be a more quality case than your average case.Definitely worth the price and much cheaper than the apple store, where I was going to purchase from. Genuine product too.Split after 3 weeks, had to book a timed appointment at Apple store, 40 miles round trip, no stock, so was then notified that I had to return between a certain period, couldn’t make it. Helpline cannot now get in touch with store after being on hold for 30 mins.Turns out it’s costing me £30 in fuel and parking to return a case purchased through Amazon. I could have purchased 14 silicone cases through eBay for the same money, without the ongoing hassle. They probably would have lasted longer too!!!
