Even though the iPhone 14 Pro Max is no longer the latest iPhone, it’s still an actively-supported, lovely flagship smartphone. Thanks to Apple’s excellent update policy, it should continue to receive new iOS versions in the years to come. When it comes to maintaining its exterior, the most effective and practical way to shield it is through a protective case.
Not only will this cover protect its chassis from physical damage, but it can also liven up its appearance with a fresh look. To help you find the perfect case for your iPhone 14 Pro Max, we’ve listed some of the best options below.

Editor’s choice
Spigen Rugged Armor iPhone 14 Pro Max case

Shock-resistant
ESR Classic Hybrid iPhone 14 Pro Max case
At a more reasonable price, this ESR case is similar to the official clear Apple case. It’s simple and supports MagSafe connectivity, making it ideal for those who dislike overly complex patterns and designs. While I think the visible MagSafe pattern looks somewhat out of place, some may find its design iconic.

Grippy texture
Speck case for iPhone 14 Pro Max
Speck is one of the trusted brands in the phone accessory department, and for valid reasons. This case, in particular, has a grippy design that makes dropping your phone more challenging. Thanks to its unique texture and build material, you can expect your device not to slip easily.

Rugged protection
Pelican Shield Kevlar iPhone 14 Pro Max case

Pelican Shield offers four-layer protection with 5mm raised bezels around the screen and camera lens. The case also includes a holster to carry around your iPhone easily. The built-in kickstand adds a convenient touch for taking calls and watching movies on the go. Even with rugged looks, it is compatible with MagSafe accessories and wireless chargers.
Avoid accidental damage on iPhone 14 Pro Max
Many of us at XDA have used cases from Spigen, and we appreciate its balanced approach to protection, nice bulk, and overall style. Also, the MagSafe compatibility ensures you retain access to all MagSafe accessories for your phone.
On the other hand, the TORRAS Kickstand is a good option if you want a kickstand, which you will appreciate on a phone as large as the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Both brands are reputable and offer solid products that will likely last for as long as you’d expect them to. You can also pick leather options from BlackBrook, while those offered by OtterBox, Speck, and Supcase have their own appeal. If you are fine with rugged looks, get a case from UAG or Pelican.
Once you apply your preferred case to iPhone 14 Pro Max, familiarize yourself with the latest iOS build on your iPhone. Check our dedicated post to learn more about the upcoming new features with iOS 18. If you plan to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max instead, we also have a list of excellent cases for that model.
