You’ve selected the latest and greatest handset from Apple, the top of the line: iPhone 15 Pro Max. Titanium makes it stronger and lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro, but back is still glass. No more Ring/Silent switch, now you have an Action Button that can be customized to do whatever you’d like. The new A17 Pro chip makes this Apple’s most powerful iPhone yet. It’s got USB-C charging and the data transfer is faster than ever. You expect the best camera on a Pro Max model, and this one has a tetra-prism 5X telephoto lens. In fact, you get the equivalent of seven lenses. You can’t just slap any old case on this colossal beauty! Grab one of the best iPhone Pro Max cases to protect your considerable investment.
Quick List
Classic Apple
You can’t go wrong with this classic slim case from Apple, which gets updated every year to perfectly complement the latest iPhone lineup. The Silicone Case with MagSafe comes in some great colors that will enhance the titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max. And it won’t add a lot of bulk.
Minimalist
If you really hate the bulk of a case, at least get scratch protection with a barely-there case like the totallee Thin iPhone Case. In our review of a previous model, we noted that it’s about as thin as your fingernail. A minimal case is better than no case.
Ultimate toughness
We reviewed an earlier version of the UAG Monarch case and were wowed by the tough protection in a surprisingly light package. The latest model from Urban Armor Gear offers 25-foot drop protection and it’s MagSafe-compatible as well.
Clearly protective
What we really liked about the Incipio Grip for MagSafe case that we reviewed on an older iPhone was the fact that the grippy edges helped prevent drops. But the case is 14-foot drop tested just in case.
The real deal
The ultimate in real leather luxury; it’s a wallet and case in one. Carry up to three cards plus paper bills along with your iPhone 15 Pro Max in this elegant American Horween leather case. Eight foot drop protection keeps it all safe.
Blingy
Does protection have to be stodgy and serious? No, no it does not. Get your bling on with this fun case that comes in plenty of trendy designs. We reviewed a previous Case-Mate case and reveled in its cuteness.
Don’t cut corners
We love CASETiFY’s endless selection of cute and custom cases, and this one gives you heavy-duty protection for the vulnerable corners of your iPhone without being too bulky all over. It’s drop-tested to 21 feet, six times the military standard.
Minimal wallet
Carry up to three cards plus a bit of cash stowed within the case. It’s grippy without being sticky, and the back is smooth and pocket-friendly. Cool feature: there’s a slot you can prop your credit card into that creates a kickstand.
Thin but protective
This simple, slim case comes in a handful of colors and offers up to ten foot drop protection. It’s also MagSafe compatible so you can use your favorite MagSafe chargers and other accessories. It even comes with different color button covers to add a fun and colorful highlight.
European leather
This sleek and gorgeous MagSafe compatible case is made from European Gold-Rated leather and tanned using the water-saving DriTan process. Mujjo is a certified B Corp; phone cases are made with recycled materials in the metal buttons, camera bump, microfiber lining, and polycarbonate shell to minimize environmental impact.
Get a grip
PopSockets PopGrips are well known, but did you know they make some great cases, too? The MagSafe compatible case goes perfectly with the grip that comes with it, but of course you can mix and match with other MagSafe phone grips and accessories. It’s a great way to balance the larger phone in a smaller hand.
Floral fantasy
I raved about how stunning an earlier Rifle Paper Co. case model was, while offering 12 foot drop protection. I think this MagSafe compatible case will look particularly gorgeous with all of the Pro lineup colors this year, especially the natural titanium. Well, and the blue, of course. And the white! Heck the black works as well.
MagSafe accessory included
This clear MagSafe case is rated for 10-foot drops, and the camera module bezel is raised, you can feel secure in your phone’s protection. It comes with a useful MagSafe wallet/grip/stand, so it’s like getting three bonus accessories in one.
Clever design
We were charmed by this gorgeous premium leather Bellroy 3 Card case when we reviewed an earlier model. It comes in several color options and has a hinged wallet compartment for your important cards. When opened, the lid can be used as a stand for watching videos.
Natural wood
We reviewed a previous Mous Limitless case, and we loved how the cases are made with real wood, leather, and other cool materials. Mous’ AirShock technology protects your phone from drops; in fact, you’ve probably seen videos of them dropping phones out of helicopters to prove it (though we don’t recommend trying that yourself.)
Q & A
Do I really need a case for the iPhone 15 Pro Max?
You can always trust iMore.
Our team of Apple experts have years of experience testing all kinds of tech and gadgets, so you can be sure our recommendations and criticisms are accurate and helpful. Find out more about how we test.
Hopefully you’re getting AppleCare+ to protect your investment, but even so, you can avoid spending half a day (plus a deductible) for repairs if you prevent breaking the phone in the first place. We do recommend using a case to be extra safe.
Will my old case fit the iPhone 15 Pro Max?
No, it will not. Even if you had a case for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the newly contoured edges of the iPhone 15 Pro Max create a different shape for the phone. So you’ll need a case made specifically for the iPhone 15 Pro Max in order to fit the handset properly.
Which iPhone 15 Pro Max case should I get?
You can bet that Apple-engineered Apple cases will always fit to perfection. The slim silicone case is an enduring classic for a reason: it’s soft to the touch inside and out, protects your iPhone, and doesn’t disrupt the gorgeous lines of the phone. As always, Apple ensures that the colors enhance the iPhone 15 Pro Max colorways. And it’s the only opaque case on the market with the geniune Apple logo.
