Top 10 Ultra-Slim/Minimalist Cases For The iPhone 13's

There are certain types of cases that we generally stay away from and it’s the ultra-thin cases from Peel, Bare and Totallee. These ultra thin cases aren’t worth getting as they are significantly overpriced for what they are. Most of them aren’t even branded so it looks like they went to Alibaba and bought as many thin, cheap cases as they could.

I`m using the Spigen Air skin case. It fits perfectly and feels very good in the hand. The design is close to the Lucid clear case and costs only 12$.

[@Julio0o]

Thanks, guys! Ordering the sheath right now

[@dmorales125]

Great video as always. Love the woobie Val is wearing.

Finally. I have been waiting on this one.

Thanks for the recommendation. Have a sheath on order.

Caudabe Sheath is the best! I had one on my iPhone 8 and now on 13 Pro. Perfect case.

[@hinonashi9439]

Thank you for the review.

[@moncho33]

Jam Up the Mash, nice! Cheers! I have the Pitaka MagEZ for my 12 Pro Max and so far I've enjoyed it.

[@Harvey017]

I upgrade my iPhone yearly and I’ve been buying the Caudabe Sheath since the iPhone 6 and can confirm the drop protection is not marketing fluff. With the amount of times I’ve dropped my phone I never had a damaged or scuffed iPhone with this case on. In my opinion it’s the best minimalist case out there.

[@Cardmonger]

I have the caudabe for the 12 mini, but i wish it were mag safe. UGH

[@Harvey017]

@@Cardmonger Yeah I hear you, unfortunately the 12 mini gets the least love from aftermarket manufacturers, still an awesome case though.

[@kevinp4305]

Great video as usual! I have to agree with the Caudabe Sheath being the winner. I have been using this case for a few years now and it is hands down the best case made IMO.

[@rafikz77]

[@tsenif]

MY favorite cases: Caseology Vault Mous Limitless 4.0 OtterBox Defender PRO dbrand Grip

[@theWynn3]

I went with pitaka over the latercase because of better magsafe compatibility

[@ThreeTwentyTech]

I hate phone cases so when I need to have one on my phone, I *always* go with a thin case. Slim phone cases give you the best of both worlds. It maintains the sleek size of our iPhone's whilst providing you with *some* scratch and drop protection, too.

[@fluffy24]

Hey guys! Thank you 4 the great info. I would like to see, if possible, a rating for the cases that flashes out the camera and iphone 13's don't woble when left on the table on it's back. Thxx

[@greencheeze3954]

Saw Caseology on the list and was wondering if their Nano Pop line was also good cuz I love the colors with them? Thanks!

[@anrn5303]

val: totally agree with you on how aaron mispronounce things like "accessory", "access"... :) lol

[@Tyler_ThaTruth]

I literally just bought the caudabe sheath a few days ago and waiting for it in the mail, with the Black Friday coupon you can get the case for 29-30 dollars, I hope I like it as much as y’all do

[@jaxonvictoria4345]

I’ve been using the Sheath since the iPhone XS era and I gotta say now I just got my 13 and am still using it. It’s incredible.

[@waltman5478]

Really cool to see Val come out of her shell as time goes on

[@928ruf]

I’m a big fan of the Pitaka MagEZ, the Fourth one I’m buying, the feel of the soft Aramid fibre is making the grip so confortable and they have now a magsafe magnet built in. Yes they are not as protective as other cases but they are incredible to hold.

[@lydiaw]

Me too, it reuduces the chances that you drop your phone.PITAKA case is amazing!

[@Kumar-qg5uz]

Good Job Guys.. 👍🏻

[@kyle7574]

You are a legend

[@Caution40404]

That's a solid list! Sheath seems to get most of the praise online but it was disappointing when I heard it's 41g which is a bit heavy for me personally.

[@RadtechCustoms175]

Awesome job as always! Do you guys or anyone who reads this know of a company who makes clear glass protection for the back of the iPhone? It would be like a screen protector but for the back. I’m trying to keep the original look and “hand feel” of the iPhone 13, instead of covering everything up. I’ve found a few discontinued ones, so I’m left to diy modify a tablet screen protector.

[@joshuapowell88]

Love the video! I know you guys don't like the ohsnap grip, but I was wondering if you knew about the ohsnap 2.0 and were going to review it?

[@Kanister0911]

Very nice video!! Can you tell me if the texture on the Caseology Vault is the same as on the Caudabe Sheath?

[@azimqayyum89]

Try look into Air Jacket Power Support. Thin clear case.

[@y_y_zed]

You were 100% correct on the Caudabe Sheath “hand feel”. It’s awesome. Got two thru your link. Thanks for the comprehensive review!! Ps hi Monty

[@pratikalladi]

Please test the hoda sapphire screen protector. I’d like to know if it’s real sapphire.

[@carblanco4065]

I love to see your dog in each video!!!!

[@reganbrannigan3006]

I like the look of the Caudabe Sheath but they only sell it on their US website and international shipping is an absolute nightmare. Going to go with the Spigen Mag Armour instead

[@yuenmanson9860]

Totally agree with you, there international shipping is really awful

[@grantmcmullen]

Literally was watching the video wondering if you were going to mention Peel, didn't know much about it but the cases looked kind of cool. Guess I won't be getting one lol

[@discontinued5491]

What car mount works best with the loopy case? I’m have not found a good one yet and I love my loopy cases. Please help

[@severin9419]

Can you recommend a peel-like case for a reasonable price? I had one but as i expectet it broke very easy. But if its only 5 bucks it would make it a good product

[@xL9Px]

I’m someone who usually buy 4-6 case and swap them out depending the occasion but I always find myself going back to the caudabe sheath

[@MalakiQC]

Oh well, my Apple Silicone case that I got 2 months ago is already messed up and I was shopping for a case last night and got the Mous Limitless 4.0 based on your previous case video. Since you are Canadians, is there a way to order the Caudabe Sheat in Canada? Keep up the good work guys!

[@jacobtorres9494]

I have some spigen cases I’m surprised you guys never cover them they’re great and thin

[@randyfhorvath]

Does the MagBak case allow for an edge to edge screen protector?

[@x316RiotMakerx]

Have you reviewed car mounts that use Magsafe but don't charge? I just upgraded to the iPhone 13 and have CarPlay in my car, it doesn't do wireless CarPlay so I have to plug my phone into the car.

[@surg0083]

I like the carbon fiber cases. I have the later case. But i did notice if i hold my phone sideways while playing games or watching videos. I do lose signal. Wifi and cellular occasionally

[@Sadd16]

Do you guys know if the Patika case fits iPhone 13 pro? on the Pitaka website, it shows the 13 pro as "coming soon". Is the one you have in your video for the Iphone 13 and just used on the pro?

[@andema83]

I agree with you on the ultra thin cases, I grabbed one from a German brand in the clear version which, according to their website, consists of a mixed material of PP and TPU, thankfully, I paid only about 20 € for this case and a tempered glass screen protector (which was included and which I don't need). I hoped for the TPU material to be not as slippery, but unfortunately, it is indeed slippery and more so because of the thinness of the whole case. Like I said, thankfully they don't charge 50-70 € here. I'm currently rocking the original Apple silicon in red, but I'm still looking for a clear case that's magsafe compatible and doesn't have the ugly white ring on the back.

[@Kupkaik]

I've usually used the Otterbox Symmetry case. Has lip protection, tends to be more grippy than Apple's crappy clear case, doesn't have huge areas cut out either, and I haven't had any issues with scratches on the case either.

Can you let me know what type of glasses frames those are? They look perfect for your face shape

Aaron, what Watch band is that?? Is it an orange leather link or something similar? I do love me some slim cases…but I always default to Apple’s “leather” cases (these days the quotes feel necessary). Great grip for MY hands once it’s broken in, and it just works.

[@qimatswift4829]

Hi! I own both of these cases and I tend to use my limitless 4 more since it has MagSafe. But I love the solidsuit and feel like it’s equally as protective, and has way more designs to choose from, as well as swappable colored buttons. I think rhino shield is probably the best value.

@@qimatswift4829 I could not disagree more rhinoshield needs to put more grip on there cases will never buy them again cheaper to buy a bar of soap

I wish they would just make a bumper frame for the iPhone like the 6S. I miss those things. And no on Rhinoshield. That thing is too slippery and bulky. Add something like Dragon Grips on Rhinoshield if you want a better grip.

Can u review Moft's new case n Ohsnap 2.0's case? Ik u guys didn't like their products like how the moft wallet easily detaching off of magaafe cases n how the ohsnap's metal ring is like a bad tattoo. However, I wanted to know if their cases is just as bad or may actually b gud at protecting the phone? They also added some improvements to their products. For moft, they added "stronger magnets" so their wallet is less likely to fall off. If u guys can test that out if it's true for their products n for other 3rd party magsafe accessories? For ohsnap, they made a v2.0 grip which is thinner, supposedly "smaller diameter," n is compatible with other magsafe accessories unlike the v1.0. If u can review their case, can u review their ohsnap 2.0 as well? (Their metal ring on the case is probably still a bad tattoo but perhaps it's "right size" bad tattoo that looks closer to like the magsafe rings on some cases? Since they said the diameter is smaller now n actually made their metal ring on the case to look like magsafe stuff with its "magnet tail" thing.) Oh n apparently, u can switch out the backs too for other designs, so I was wondering if that would ruin the case's ability to protect ur phone, if the back would "snap" off the case when dropped?

Is the texture of the Caudaube Sheath similar to the GripMunk? I have a GripMunk and really don’t like that case. It feels like it costs…cheap. I’m currently rocking a Nomad Modern Leather Case and it’s kinda ho-hum to me. Grip along sides is meh, front lip coverage is just ok and volume buttons have almost no feedback. Have a Moment Leather Case in olive green on order but shipping dates keep getting pushed back further and further. So I’m looking for something to bridge the gap until that delivers and then become part of my rotation. I like grippy cases What case, would you guys consider a “best buy” (Not necessarily a slim case) that’s available now and not on backorder?
