iPhone 13 Pro Max Camera protector case

[illyb2000]

Hey just upgraded and wondered if anyone has used one of these or indeed if I need to protect the lenses. Coming from an 11 and the lens size difference is massive.
Seems ok for the price but some reviews state the camera sliders need a bit of force to slide them.

Looks like a decent case. I have never damaged a camera lens however it’s possible if you drop your phone on gravel or an uneven surface.

Did you get this case? I quite like the look of it just to even out the top of the phone

I did. It seems to protect the phone and the lens well. The only downside is the case is a bit ugly (maybe a clear one would be better?) and not sure I like the texture of it. There are other types of cases by the same company (i.e. silicone) which maybe better but not sure if better drop protection.
I do have a normal clear case as well which looks better but no lens slider.

A case like above my stop scratches but it will cause dust and debris inside of the case. If you do not remove the case and clan out this debris, it will abrade your phones finish and damage it. This is true of most cases.

I remove my phone from its case every one or two weeks to clean both it and the case. Never had any scratches or damage to the phone or any visible buildup of gunk in the speakers or microphone grills.

I never cracked my screen, let alone a camera lens on my iphone UNTIL I got a job installing solar panels on roofs this Summer. Not only did I totally shatter the front & back of my iphone 11 Pro Max, I also shattered one of the lenses! I used a case, but one of those simple silicone cases. When my 14 Pro Max arrives, I plan to get one of those heavy duty cases that also protects the lenses.

you had no damage because you DO clean the case. Others don’t and are shocked a year later when they remove their case.

Yep. People don’t understand that there is still maintenance to be carried out to keep their phone in pristine condition EVEN if they use a case. Even after one week I can see small grains building up in the rear of the case which could eventually cause micro scratches. If it’s a silicone case I will normally clean it under a tap and use soap to disinfect it. The phone is normally cleaned with a damp cloth followed by a micro fibre cloth. It only takes a few minutes so it’s well worth doing.

Straight truth. ^^^
I also find that non Apple silicon cases by nature are abrasive to the sides of the phone.

Indeed. But some cases also by their nature micro mar the sides. Since they are abrasive
