Best iPhone 12 Pro Max cases 2023

Apple's own

The Apple option is always a good one. We like the silicone case for its appealing colors, perfect fit, and MagSafe compatibility. It's a slim case with a soft microfiber interior for extra protection.

Quality and price

With a hard polycarbonate back and soft TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) bumper, you can show off your iPhone 12 Pro Max while protecting it. Spigen offers quality products at reasonable prices. Choose from several color options.

PopSocket collab

OtterBox and PopSocket had a baby, and this case is it. The handy PopSocket PopGrip is built right into the OtterBox case, so it folds out of the way when not in use. Mix and match to create your own look; you can get several PopSockets and twist to swap them out. We reviewed two of these cases, one clear and one in a cute pink and we loved both. The PopGrip is a handy tool and the case is both protective and fun.

Fashionable

Up the fashion factor with a Velvet Caviar case. We tested this case out and noted that despite its whimsical looks, this is a ruggedly protective case. It comes in many, many colorful and shimmery choices. You can buy a matching ring grip for selfies, too!

Extremely thin

This is the case for the absolute minimalist. If you don't really want to spoil the iPhone's clean lines or add any bulk but you want just a touch of protection, the totallee Thin case is for you. We reviewed this case and loved how simple but protective the case is, plus you get a few color options to choose from.

Pick a bouquet

The well-priced CYRILL Cecile case features a hard back and flexible TPU bumper for slim protection. We reviewed this case and loved the variety of pretty bouquets available and the fact that it has wireless and MagSafe charging capabilities.

Luxury folio style

This luxurious MagSafe-compatible Horween leather wallet case will develop a rich patina over time. The folio holds up to three cards plus cash, so you don't need to carry a separate wallet. Choose between black or Rustic Brown.

Extra grip

When reviewing the Incipio Grip, we found that the edges of this case have treads almost like a tire, making it easier to hang onto an extra-large iPhone. Choose the clear case shown here or a handful of other colors.

Natural beauty

As you can see in our review, Mous makes gorgeous, elegant cases that protect your phone well while maintaining a slim profile. The cases owe their good looks to various genuine materials used for the back panel, such as wood, leather, and more. These cases are guaranteed to work with MagSafe.

Bling bling

Get 10-foot drop protection with this protective but fun case. It's clear enough to see your iPhone's color through it, but it's filled with metallic glitter confetti (securely sealed inside so it won't shed). According to our review, "cases don't get much cuter than this!"

Super grip

This extremely durable case offers up to 13 feet (!) of drop protection. We tested this case and loved the no-slip grip alongside the interesting look. It ensures your iPhone is less likely to slip out of your hands in the first place.

Dance, dance, dance

It's not easy to find a small crossbody purse that's roomy enough to hold an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Luckily, this wallet case becomes a crossbody bag when you attach the strap. The wallet flap holds up to five cards plus cash, and the strap holds two lippies.

Fun protection

Don't let CASETiFY's whimsical good looks fool you. In our review, we concluded that it's a super protective case with reinforced corners and a fun look. Customize your iPhone with one of the hundreds of available patterns, or design your own!

Textured

This colorful, textured case adds visual interest to your iPhone 12 Pro Max. The texture also adds grip while maintaining wireless functionality. Choose from a few color options.

Slim and protective

This smooth but grippy case stands out with its painterly looks. While you get that famed OtterBox protection, this case is quite thin and won't add a lot of bulk to your iPhone 12 Pro Max. Choose from four gorgeous colorways. As our reviewer noted, "The Figura design is a far cry from the heavy-duty look we usually see from OtterBox."

Skeumorphic

Your iPhone 12 Pro Max will stand out from the crowd in this classic-looking case. The folio-style wallet case resembles a leather-bound book embossed with gold lettering. Choose brown or black.

Super tough

This ultra-rugged case looks as protective as it is, yet it's not too heavy or bulky. Its hard armor shell and soft impact-resistant core give it that protection without the weight. Choose from several colors and styles.

Pouch

Not a case in the usual sense; this pouch can be worn on your belt and holds a "naked" iPhone or perhaps one in a very thin case. Keep your iPhone 12 Pro Max and other small accessories close at hand. In our review of this product, we found that the fine craftsmanship of the leather and magnetic closures were top-notch. Currently, it appears as if this case is only available for the iPhone 13 lineup, but the 13 Pro Max case should still fit the 12 Pro Max as they are nearly identical in size.
