Best MagSafe cases for iPhone 13 Pro Max in 2024
Protect and charge your iPhone with these great cases.
MagSafe is one of those features that feels like it's been on the best iPhones for years, when in fact it only debuted in 2020 with the iPhone 12 series.
Created as a different method to wirelessly charge your iPhone, MagSafe has quickly integrated into countless accessories, such as iPhone car holders, power banks, bedside table chargers, and more.
When MagSafe first launched in 2020, many were worried that it wouldn't work with cases. Fortunately, Apple anticipated this! Thanks to the strong magnets on the back of iPhones with MagSafe, most cases work great with the wireless charging method.
So much so, that we've listed nine of the best cases below for your iPhone 13 Pro Max that are fully compatible with MagSafe.

Clear cases let you show off your iPhone's true colors. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid comes in transparent white, clear blue, and clear black. It's also resistant to the yellowing that plagued clear cases in the last decade. There's a raised lip on the Ultra Hybrid to shield the camera and screen from scratches when you set your iPhone down, alongside Air Cushion Technology that provides superb shock absorption against drops.
Apple's leather case line has always been a favorite at iMore. It's sleek, weighs almost nothing, and develops the kind of wear and tear that makes it look even better over time. Made from tanned and finished leather, you can get this case in one of four colors.
If you're prone to dropping your phone or working a job that requires better-than-average protection, you'll want the Meifigno Magnetic Case. The shiny translucent black case looks fantastic, and it's equipped with perfectly aligned magnets for charging. This case has passed the military anti-drop test and can survive being dumped on the ground more than 3,000 times. Impressive stuff!
The Apple Silicone Case with MagSafe won't weigh down your pockets but will let you use a MagSafe charger. The finish is soft, and a little grippy, and the inside has a soft microfiber liner to keep the back of your device scratch-free. In typical Apple fashion, you can get this case in one of eight different colors, and they all look amazing.
Ultra-durable cases tend to be bulky and difficult to get in and out of pockets. That's not so with the Spigen Mag Armor. This slim case features Air Cushion Technology that shields your iPhone from damage when it's dropped — yet it's one of the lightest cases on our list. The Mag Armor works great with all MagSafe chargers and has cutouts for the camera lenses and charging port too.
The Soap Bubble MagSafe case is a colorful rainbow of soap bubble-looking swirls that change with movement and light! There's a lot to love with 10-foot drop protection, flexible sides that encourage better grip, and built-in magnets that work well with MagSafe.
Smartish knows how phones tend to slip right out of our hands, which is why it created a case called Gripmunk. It's lightweight and slender with finger holds on the sides, so you can always keep a firm hold. Air pockets are in each corner too, so if your iPhone does slip out and hit the floor, a cushion of air surrounds it. The Gripmunk comes in numerous colors and patterns and, of course, is MagSafe-compatible.
When the iPhone 13 series launched in 2021, Apple also released this great case. It's thin, light, and grippy on the sides. Shock absorption is baked in too. Unlike other clear cases, Apple's model doesn't collect scratches or turn funny colors. And of course, it's made to work with MagSafe.
The world needs more kickstand cases like this one! Throw down that kickstand for hands-free FaceTime calls, better selfies, watching YouTube videos, and more. The TORRAS MoonClimber is shockproof, comes with perfect cutouts for camera lenses and buttons, and has a metal kickstand that will make your life easier. Grab this now in black, blue, or clear.
Can i use an iPhone 15 Pro Max case with my 13 Pro Max?
Nope. Both phones may look similar in size, but their designs are different — from the thinness to the placement of the cameras at the back. We recommend making sure that the case you buy is compatible with the iPhone you own.
Do I need to buy a case to use MagSafe?
Not at all. MagSafe is built-in to iPhone 12 devices and above, but we recommend buying a case just so your phone doesn't get damaged anytime soon.
