If you've chosen the iPhone 15 Pro Max, then it's probably safe to say that you're a maximalist. And if you're not one to compromise on features, you're probably not one to compromise on cases either.
That's why we put together this tightly-curated list of the best cases for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. You'll notice that Apple's new FineWoven offering is not on here. PCMag's Managing Editor for Consumer Electroncs Eric Zeman tried it out and said, "I am not a fan of Apple's new FineWoven. While I applaud the company's move away from leather accessories, this material is slippery and doesn't have a pleasing texture."
You won't find a disappointing case like that on this list and hopefully you'll find one that fits your needs. If there's one that you love that's not here, let us know in the comments.
