I have had the Grip on my IPhone 13 Pro Max for 2 years now. I really like it for all the reasons that you stated. I really like the raised edges and curved shape and the flat middle made for swiping. I also like how it doesn’t rock when laid flat and how the raised edges keeps the camera bump from touching the surface. As far as putting the case into my pocket I have learned to put my entire hand around the case when I put it into my pockets that way my hand will minimize the touching of the Grip case to my clothes. The skins are really cool and unique too!! My only complaint and it’s a very small one but I wish that the case was available in other colors besides the black but I’m sure that a black case can match better with all of the various skin options. I hope that helps.
I love my Dbrand grip case for my 14 pro max,I’m definitely gonna pick this up for my 15 pro max,I use to be a speck case fan,but ones I got the Dbrand grip case,I said goodbye to speck,this case is my go to case now.
Got sent 3 replacement cases from them for the 15 pro max all had issues with the action button, maybe just my luck. But in the end I had to get my dremel tool and file down the action button. Now works perfectly good.
Any issues with the Action Button, as I have seen a few reports on Reddit of this not working properly/being able to activate it without pressing the button
@@Brians_tech You sure? The problem isn’t that the button doesn’t work. The problem is you can activate the button by pressing the case north, south, or in front of the button. Does yours not do that? I have two for my 15PM now and both do it exactly the same.
@@simonsays6965 Both of my cases have the issue, exactly the same, so I’ll bet it’s a design issue. That being said, it really is a minor issue and does not affect daily use at all.
Personally have this case for my iphone 13 very protective, big downside for me is how dirtly it gets and how hard it is to clean around the skin and the buttons/speakers also gather dust and dirt. Wet wipe also leaves pieces on the harsh side. Other than that it is great.
I just received my 15 Pro Max case. Like the feel but concerned about the protection surrounding the camera. Sure it’s protected when laying down on a surface, but what about a drop on the ground?
Maybe I’m crazy but I have the Grip and Synthesis for my 14 Pro and the Caudabe is the most slippery case I’ve ever used. If you’re holding onto the sides, sure, it’s got good grip, but when you use it like normal, the back is WAY too slick and if you’re at the slightest angle, it’s slipping out of your hands. Was super disappointed with it tbh.
Did you get MagSafe marks after charging the phone with the case? Got the case yesterday, charged last night and woke up with a ring in the back of the case.
Sometimes from certain accessories, but that happens often. For me, a quick wipe down takes care of it. It’s like a dirt ring, not something actually imprinted to the case.
Do you have issues with sensitivity on the action button? Sometimes when I press the volume up button, it somehow pushes the action button too. I can't replicate it each time, but I try touching parts around the action button and it can indeed make it perform my action.
No I don’t. Have you tried to take the case off and push the buttons a little bit from outside and inside? See if that helps. If not, you may need to contact Dbrand for a replacement.
@@Brians_tech I’ve taken the case off and put it back on a couple times. But I haven’t pressed the inside of the buttons. Either way. Just making sure if this is common or just me before I contact Dbrand
They say it’s got military grade drop protection, but I can definitely say it’s got some drop protection for sure. I’d feel comfortable saying you can drop it from a few feet and it should withstand it.
MagSafe looks hella weak, I got the spigen with the most ridiculous magnet ever at 1/3 the price. And the skin isn’t a sticker 😂. No grip tho… almost bought this but I’ll prob just sand the sides of this spigen case now that I know the magnet is superior
The MagSafe on this case is actually much better this year. I liked the strength on it. I can definitely recommend the grip case. Spigen's cases stepped their MagSafe up a lot as well. So many great options this year.
It's coming! There's some more cases I want to check out before making the video, but my list is already being developed. Thanks for tuning in and subscribing!
@@Brians_tech Unfortunately, yes it is. The back can be scratched even if you use a Magsafe charger. My case has a scratch ring on the Magsafe position and several others. They definitely motivate you to buy another skin though.

just bought the case, thanks for this review man, keep making videos
Thank you!
@@Brians_tech have had a couple of days, absolutely love it

Why would you get a 15 pro max if you have a 14 pro max already?
Some people like to upgrade every year to have the latest and greatest. I’m guilty of that with my phones 😂

It is clearly "bowed" to even out the back of the phone with the camera bump to get rid of wobble lol.

Nope, no issues at all. I click it at the microphone so you can hear it in the video

@@cfmistryI really wanted this case but the whole issue with the Action button is a deal breaker for me. Hoping they fix this issue

I’ll have to check out pushing it around the button vs. actually clicking the button. But I don’t ever get any accidental clicks.

I haven’t tried to put a skin on it. I prefer it without the skin, but I figured it may make it a bit more difficult to clean.

It should be pretty protective. The case is decently thick and has some shock absorption technology. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
No case will be able to protect against everything. Unless you cover it whole in some pillow it will get damaged if it falls 50 times on it's camera.
How’s the grip compared to the Caudabe Synthesis? Is the Grip silicone edges?
I’d like to know the answer to this too
The grip is definitely more intense than the synthesis. And yeah it has silicone grip edges. Very nice grip
@@Brians_techthanks bro! For you, which one you like? Synthesis or grip?

Just a mark
Yeah, the quick wipe worked fine. Thank you!@@Brians_tech
Is there hole at the bottom corner of the case where you can loop a lanyard to?
No there isn’t. May be a nice touch to add, though.
I sandwich another MagSafe ring in between the case and skin
Nice Video..There is Version Iphone 15 regular and plus models please?How much please?Where Can I Buy Online or Actual Stores please?
Click the link in the description of the video. You can buy it there and you can see the cost of it for each device.

Yeah I would contact them and see what they say. Keep me posted, though. I'm curious to know if they replace it and how it is for you.

Waiting for your top 10 case video

dbrand grip case without skin is easily scratched. Of course, you can just put on a skin and pretend there is no scratch on it.
Really? I haven’t experienced any scratching yet

The magnets still suck
I wouldn’t say they suck. They’re significantly better than before. They’re not the strongest, but they don’t suck
Oh no it’s a sticker for the skin….. drop it and goodbye cool skin 😭😭😭
Usually their skins stick very well. I haven't heard of many instances where it peels off.
Dbrand aint what it was before...
Why’s that?
The magsafe is stronger without the skin.
Thank you for letting me know! I may test that out, now that you mentioned it.
