Best iPhone 14 Pro Max cases in 2024

Best case overall

Colors: Black, Charcoal, Blue and purple
Materials: Polycarbonate, thermoplastic polyurethane
Weight: 0.3 ounces

+ Many colorful options
+ 13-foot drop protection
- Visible company logo

Speck says its case works like an airbag for your iPhone 14 Pro Max, cushioning the phone against any shocks from drops. You're able to count on 13-foot drop protection for your iPhone, with raised bezels keeping the screen and camera array from striking surfaces. The Presidio2 offers additional protection via a Microban antimicrobial coating. And Speck says this iPhone 14 Pro Max case works with MagSafe.

The reviews all speak for themselves, with customers praising the grip and durability of these cases (which is important so that you don't drop it 13 feet.) It's worth mentioning that the prices vary quite a lot depending on the color chosen, with the charcoal being the most expensive option.

Best value

Colors: Clear (hard and soft), Frosted Black, Frosted Clear, Green, Red, Navy Blue, Pearl White, Purple, Solid Black, Jet Black, Charcoal
Materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane
Weight: 0.1 ounces

+ Available in color or transparent finishes
+ Thin, light design
- Not the flashiest of appearances

Get the Totallee Clear iPhone 14 Pro Max case if you want protection without a lot of fuss. You might not even notice the Totallee case is there, in part because it's so thin and light and also because you can pick a clear option that shows off your iPhone 14 Pro Max. If you prefer a splash of color, Totallee has options for you there, too, having expanded its different color options.

The Totallee case is a strange one, on one hand, it's thick enough to weather most drops with ease, and the clear case helps to show off the iPhone's stylish design. However, it feels a bit odd paying so much for a clear case. Totallee offers a lot, but Black Friday should make it a much better deal.

Best wallet case

Colors: Black, Tan, Blue
Materials: Leather
Weight: 0.7 ounces

+ Stylish case with slots for cards
+ Made with vegetable-tanned Ecco Leather
- On the pricey side of things

Mujjo's Full Leather Wallet Case offers more than just a protective cover for your iPhone 14 Pro Max (though it handles that job ably). It also doubles as a wallet, with a card pocket capable of holding two to three cards, whether it's a credit card, an ID card or what have you. A raised edge keeps the rear camera array safe, while a microfibre lining protects your phone from the inside. Choose from three different shades of leather that will develop their own unique patina the longer you use the case.

I love a leather wallet, honestly, they feel great and the softness of the external case makes it way more comfortable to hold. Also, users praised the feel, fit and quality of the case as well. However, the issue with soft covers is that they can get beat up over time, so you'll need to pick up a new one sooner than most.

Best case protection

Colors: Kevlar Black
Materials: Kevlar
Weight: 2.4 ounces

+ 16-foot drop protection
+ Folio cover has slots for 2 cards
- Just one color option
- Hefty

It's going to be very hard to damage the iPhone 14 Pro Max when it's tucked inside one of the Metropolis cases from Urban Armor Gear. The case is made out kevlar and promises impact resistance plus enhanced corner protection. The iPhone 14 Pro Max's screen can be covered by a folio that uses magnetics to snap shut. For added flexibility, you even get a pair of card slots on the inside of the folio.

The reviews for the case indicate that it is certainly sturdy, and it looks stylish. However, there are some complaints that the case doesn't have a magnetic closure, which might be a bit of an issue for some.

Best basic case

Colors: Blue, Black, Red, Clear
Materials: Recycled plastic
Weight: 2.1 ounces

+ 12-foot drop protection
+ Made from recycled materials
- Plain design

Get the Incipio Duo if you want strong drop protection from a basic case. Incipio promises 12-foot drop protection with the Duo, which is also designed to work with MagSafe accessories. Incipio uses recycled materials for its case, too, so you can rest as easy about the case's environmental impact as you would about the impact from crashes.

The Incipio case is stylish, cheap and does everything you need. However, it is a bit basic looking, so if you want something with a little more wow-factor this is one to miss.

Most distinct case

Colors: Aramid Fibre, Bamboo, Black Leather, Speckled Black Fabric, Walnut, White Acetate
Materials: Polycarbonate
Weight: 1.4 ounces

+ Unique materials
* Slim fit
- Costs more than $50

The Mous Limitless 5.0 doesn't look like most iPhone 14 Pro Max cases. Mous turns to a wide variety of materials — everything from Aramid fiber to bamboo — to give your case a distinctive look. The Limitless case features protection as well, absorbing the shocks from unexpected drops to keep your phone safe.

However, the price is a major issue with the average case costing nearly $60, which is steep for a basic case. It should be noted that Mous cases are sporadic, and don't always have release options as such it may not be possible to grab one for a while.

Best case for photographers

Colors: Indigo, Black, Clay, Olive
Materials: Polycarbonate, thermoplastic polyurethane
Weight: 1.4 ounces

+ Works with Moment iPhone lenses
+ 10-foot drop protection
- Lenses sold separately

Photographers should consider the Moment Case for iPhone Pro Max. It can fit an optional snap-in 67mm filter mount, CineClear filters or Drop-in Lens Mount (sold separately) so you can attach Moment's filters and lenses to your iPhone 14 Pro Max for enhanced photos. Even without those additions, you get 10-foot drop protection from a thin case with a textured surface that's easy to grip. Four distinct color options add to the appeal.

Currently, the indigo case is 20% off, making it a great time to grab one for only $40. You can also grab the moment with Joy case that comes with a splash of color.

Good protection alternative

Colors: Black, Light Blue, Navy, Pink, Realtree Edge
Materials: Polycarbonate
Weight: 0.29 ounces

+ Made with 50% recycled plastic
+ Survived 4x as many drops as the military standard for drop protection
- Very expensive compared to other cases
- No magnets for MagSafe accessories

OtterBox's hard shell case promises strong protection for your iPhone 14 Pro Max, having endured four times as many drops in testing than those that are required to meet the military standard for drop protection. The case can work with wireless and MagSafe charging pads, though be aware there are no magnets in the case for attaching accessories.

The Otterbox cases are all pretty hardy, and the clip makes it easier than ever to keep it close to hand. The grip is apparently great, and it's a great value for money. However, it is weak to scuffs which can make it look tacy over time.

Best MagSafe case

Colors: Midnight, Ink, Forest Green, Umber, Orange
Materials: Tanned leather
Weight: 4.2 ounces

+ Stylish leather material
+ MagSafe compatible
+ Six terrific colors
- Leather can crease over time

For the best fit for any MagSafe accessories you use with your iPhone 14 Pro Max, turn to Apple's Leather Case with MagSafe. Apple's case has built-in magnets that line up perfectly with the MagSafe connectors on the back of the iPhone 14 Pro Max for a secure fit. In addition to that, you also get a stylish-looking leather case that's available in a half-dozen different colors. You can slip your iPhone 14 Pro Max inside the Leather Case for a perfectly snug fit.

The reviews for the case are pretty clear, we're looking at great durability, a good feel and ease of use. However, the issue is the leather quality has a tendency to crease, and it gathers dirt. So, if you want a leather case this is worth a look, but it's not the best overall.

A clever case design

Colors: Black
Materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane
Weight: 3.3 ounces

+ 10-foot drop protection
+ Works with MagSafe
+ Scratch resistant
- Just one color

We appreciate the thought that went into designing the Catalyst Crux Case for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Even though it's got a slim design, the case's corners are 33% to keep your iPhone's edges from being damaged by bumps. The Crux claims slip-proof corners as well, and if that doesn't reassure you, you can make use of the included lanyard to keep a grip on your iPhone 14 Pro Max. If the case does take a tumble, you've got 10-foot drop protection to fall back on.

If there's one clear benefit to this case, at least according to all the reviews, it's that it's tough. Arguably, the grip and durability are second to none. However, there as some complaints about the buttons and the mag safe could be better.

Best clear case

Colors: Clear Black, Clear Purple
Materials: Polycarbonate, thermoplastic polyurethane
Weight: 3.5 ounces

+ Slim design
+ 4-foot drop protection
+ Works with wireless charging
- Prominent Casetify logo around camera array

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is such a looker, that you don't want to completely obscure that gorgeous design. The Casetify Essential case gives you a clear look at the iPhone inside, with just a pop of color around the edges to add some flash. The case has been tested to withstand 78 drops from 4 feet high and raised edges protect the screen and cameras.

The Casetify case is stylish to look at, especially the mix of clear and not clear sections. It looks good, and it feels sturdy in the hand. Not to mention the fit when placing it on the phone. However, it can be a bit of a pain to get the phone out of the case and, like all clear cases, it is vulnerable to scratches.

Best MagSafe case

Colors: Clear, Skyblue, Cucumber, Rose Quartz
Materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane
Weight: 0.1 ounces

+ MagSafe ring
+ Lightweight design
+ 10-foot drop protection
- Fairly plain

The BodyGuardz Carve case for the iPhone 14 Pro Max puts its love of MagSafe front and center. There's a built-in ring with magnets to help you more easily charge your iPhone 14 Pro Max or equip it with additional accessories. The case comes in several different tints to show off your iPhone's design, and you can also count on 10-foot drop protection plus an anti-microbial coating to keep your device protected.

The Carve Magsafe case is pretty much exactly as it appears, as a classic transparent case. While it is durable, there are reports that the buttons rattle a bit and that it can be difficult to remove the phone from the case.
