Okay, story time. I’m the kind of person who leaves their phone on the car roof and drives off. Yep, that happened. Found my phone on the asphalt, case destroyed—but the phone? Perfect. This case took the hit like a champ.

The silicone feels luxe, not too sticky, not too slick. MagSafe works flawlessly—no weird charging circles ruining the sleek look. Camera lip? Check. Button responsiveness? Perfect. Speaker holes? Unobstructed.

Downside: The front lip is minimal, so pair it with a screen protector. Also, after years, the silicone might peel (RIP my first case). But hey, it’s replaceable—unlike my phone after a drop.

Pro tip: Drill tiny holes, add a lanyard. Now I loop it on my wrist like a responsible adult. Mostly.

Worth the Apple tax? If you value ‘didn’t-shatter-my-$1k-phone’ peace of mind, absolutely.
