(Update 5/08 4:45 a.m.): Our roundup of the best iPhone 13 cases has once again been updated with a series of new models that have released over the last few months including the latest capsule collection from CASETiFY that debuted just ahead of the Stars Wars Day May the 4th celebrations (here’s our hands-on review) and more. Spigen has unleashed its very first high-end offering wrapped in full grain Italian Genoma leather and accented with diamond-cut, anodized metal hardware while Twelve South has now unveiled some new spring colorways of its iPhone 13 SurfacePad folio case. All of those are also joined by the gorgeous SANDMARC MagSafe leather case that delivers unique and robust gunmetal aluminum machined threading surrounding the camera array that both looks great and supports the brand’s lens attachments (if you’re not already familiar with the brand, this case is a must-see for iPhoneographers or otherwise.)

Like the name implies, the dbrand Grip is a super grippy case for your iPhone 13. This is all thanks to the “thousands of microscopic ridges” adorning the surface of the rubberized bumper, as described by dbrand. It features clicky buttons and a tapered lip to protect your precious iPhone 13 Pro camera array… all without adding bulk to the 2mm thin profile. The MagSafe-compatible iPhone 13 cases also feature a 10-foot impact rating and are customizable with any of dbrand’s skins and tempered glass screen protectors.
