PEEL Original Ultra Thin Case for iPhone 13 Pro

So, it seems most of the negative reviews are written by people who weren't exactly sure what they were buying, or people who believe in magic or something. There are natural drawbacks to using a very thin phone case. If you understand these drawbacks then this case is excellent. Protection: First, it's a 0.02mm thick phone case made of plastic. In other words, it's EXTREMELY THIN. This should go without saying but, if you use this case just assume that drop protection is essentially non-existent. If you are someone who is very prone to dropping your phone, this case isn't for you. However, if you've ever put your bare phone onto a desk, for example, you may notice over time that that alone can cause scratches to form on your phone. These tiny scratches most often form toward the bottom portion of the rear of the phone, or the edges of the phone screen depending on if you place the phone down on it's back, or screen. This case prevents that, specifically. Magsafe Compatibility: They aren't lying when they say it's compatible with Magsafe chargers. However, the strength is slightly affected, naturally. There is no magnet built into the case, and you're putting a layer of plastic between the phone and the Magsafe charger. This will obviously affect the strength. As you can see in my photos it's still strong enough to support the weight of the phone. However, if you use a Magsafe charger in your car then you should not trust that it'll hold in case of a sudden change in direction, such as hitting a pothole, going over a speedbump too quickly, or turning sharply and quickly. If you require a very strong Magsafe hold then get a case that has magnets in it. The good: - Offers basic scratch protection. - Keeps phone nice and thin. I recommend the "blackout" color if you want your phone to look super minimal. Looks awesome. - Fits very well (as long as you don't remove and put it back on repeatedly). - There is the SLIGHTEST lip around the screen and the camera. So, it protects the screen and lenses from tiny dust specks on your desk or nightstand. The bad: - The case is very thin and made of plastic. Now, this isn't really a bad thing if you understand that it doesn't offer much physical protection. But, there is one thing: stretching. The plastic will stretch slightly overtime if you repeatedly put on and take off the case. This isn't to say NEVER take the case off, just don't do it too frequently. I don't blame the manufacturer for this. This is just a natural result of the case being extremely thin and made of plastic. I'm not sure if there's really any way for the manufacturer to fix this issue aside from making the case thicker, which defeats the purpose. In conclusion, this case isn't for everyone. It's for people who prioritize maintaining the form factor and look of their phone above all else, and just want the most minimal of protection. It will protect from scratches from your desk or whatever you put it down on. That's it. This case is actually the thinnest case available on the market to my knowledge. If you want something thinner then go for a Dbrand skin. If simply want protection for the back of the phone and can be removed easily, then go for a Suti phoneback. 5/5, highly recommend, but with some caveats. Just know what you're buying.

Terrible - cracked during install. Customer service offered to send another, then ghosted me. Proceeded to use the case since they never sent a replacement. It only lasted a month before losing a corner of the case. Additionally the finish doesn’t look like in the advertisement photos - Very ugly with lots of scratches.

I take my iPhone cases seriously. First things first: the Packaging. I thought there was an actual iPhone in the package. See photo, it arrives in a fancy box that is padded, and the folding top cover magnetically closes the box. I mean, I was very impressed, but I would have been happy with a simple plastic bag. It was nice to see how much they care for their product and their brand. The truth is, I'm going to throw this box away if I decide to keep it. Second: the Product. It's not exactly clear. It is slightly opaque, but - when it's on my phone I can easily see the Apple logo on the back. My iPhone 16 Pro is Titanium so I can easily see the edges are clear and the back nicely. Third: the Fit. It fits perfectly! It is so thin that when I look at it from above I don't even notice I have a cover, which is what I wanted to see. It feels great. It is sort of a slippery plastic which is also what I wanted since it easily slips into my back pocket. So great job in the "fit" department. My iPhone looks like it doesn't have a case. I've had the case on for three days, and although I treat my iPhone with kid gloves, I handle it with care, I always gently place it down on a hard surface, there are already teeny tiny scratches that probably most people won't notice, but someone like me with OCD will see them. I'm assuming they are from slipping into and out of my jeans pocket? I don't know, but I'm giving this case a month long test to see how much, if any scratches show up. If it's too crazy with scratches, it's going back before the time is up with Amazon. I'm happy with the initial vibe of this case. I do give it a five-star review for now, and will update after 30 days. It is very expensive at $35.00 which caught me by surprise, but maybe if they did not invest in a package that would protect an actual iPhone maybe the price can be brought down to $12.99? Just a pro-tip to the manufacturer.

I’ll start with the pros. It’s exactly what they advertise: one of the thinnest cases on the market. Switching from a regular Spigen case i can clearly feel the difference in weight and thickness. It felt like i was actually holding my phone instead of a bulky case! As for protection, i’ve dropped it a handful of times and it hasn’t cracked yet. So it gets a thumbs up from me Onto the cons. It’s easily scratched. If you look at my pictures that’s just a little under 2 months of wear. In those same two months, the case developed an oily sheen that will not come off with any type of soap(also pictured). Its build quality is the biggest gripe I have. It’s priced at $30 but feels like the quality of a $7 case. In one of the photos you can see a build defect where the area surrounding the volume button protrudes outwards. The charging port hole also has a weird protrusion at the front. I’m assuming this results from a bad mold on the production line. The area around the camera also feels very rough and not smooth to the touch. All in all, its a decent case. Would i buy it again? Yes, but only if there’s improvements in the build quality or a reduction in the price. Otherwise, no.

First, this case is obviously a minimalist design (providing basic scratch protection) so other reviews complaining about drop protection missed the point. I, however, was only looking for scratch protection in the thinnest form factor and this case ALMOST fit the bill. The overall case fit is excellent, super thin, and provides scratch protection for the phone body and also has a lip to protect the screen and camera bump. The problem is the lip protecting the camera is even or maybe slightly short of the camera lens glass. It is so close to perfect, but because it isn't, the glass on the lenses sometimes hit when setting on a hard surface (granite, glass or other hard table/counter). It is especially true for hard textured surfaces that aren't completely flat, but you can feel the camera glass hitting on flat surfaces as well. It doesn't help that the bump is so large the phone rocks and creates an angle for this to happen. Honestly, it needs just a little more depth added to the lip and it would be an excellent case. That is if you don't mind paying $35 for a case that only provides scratch protection. I have no idea how much a case like this cost to manufacture, but I have to believe the price point could be quite a bit lower providing a much better value. To be fair, similarly designed cases by other manufacturers are in the same price range. Lastly, I purchased the clear/hard case which really isn't that hard but must be hard"er" than the soft ones. I liked the feel of it, but the problem is the clear/hard case shows scratches almost immediately. The fact that I have small scratches after a few days tells me this thing is isn't gonna last. Not to mention it is a fingerprint magnet. Long story short, expensive case that fits very well and is certainly minimal, but might not protect your camera lenses over time. You can probably get around the case scratching/fingerprint problem by getting one of the other soft cases in an actual color vs the clear.

Update: I’ve now quit using this case after realizing that it was the cause for my phone overheating constantly for the past couple weeks. This case is much much worse than my initial review showed. It is way overpriced, does not decide a premium feel, and caused the overheating issue. Also despite the thinness I could not reliably use MagSafe accessories with it. Don’t buy. I’ve only had this case on for a few hours now but already love it. The color is amazing, I will say in certain lighting it looks more royal blue/purple than navy blue but I don’t mind that. For being so thin it’s still protective, proven by the drop within 10 minutes of putting the case on. It fits perfectly on my phone and doesn’t feel like I have a case on at all. The one gripe I have with the case and why I cannot give it 5 stars is there is no MagSafe magnet and thus my MagSafe charger does not grip as strong to it as other cases. This isn’t a huge deal to me as I just use MagSafe for charging, if you use any MagSafe accessories or phone mounts, I doubt they would stick well enough with this case. Overall a very very good case that I am very satisfied with!

Nice case, nice feel and thin as described, but no good for magsafe car mounts. The case is just enough to make the connection weak and the phone falls on floorboard. If they add a magnetic circle like the thicker case, this would be perfect.

This is the case I've been looking for. It's not the most durable (I've bought it 3 times now), but it is the sexiest. I've gone caseless for years, using only screen protectors, to preserve the clean minimalist look and feel of the gorgeously designed iPhone. I'm pretty good about not dropping my phone ever, and if something really bad happens I have AppleCare, but accidents happen and it really does suck when I've dropped my phone without a case. So I've been looking for a case that give some protections, while also preserving the beautiful design of the iPhone. To my surprise the drop protection is actually surprisingly good for how thin the case it. It does scratch easily, and it will warp over time, but its something that is easily solved by just buying a new one. Mine tend to last 6-9 months.
