Pelican Shield iPhone 14 Pro Max Case - Rugged MagSafe Phone Case - Black

This is also a very late review as I have had this case for three years now, and for all this time, it has protected my phone from numerous drops without fail. The protection is solid and one of the best you can get in my opinion. Finally, recently, my phone experienced a drop at work (I do warehouse and construction), and while my phone survived without a scratch, the top layer of the case finally broke from the impact and it wouldn't snap in place securely. Sure enough, embossed on the inner side of the back layer of the case is their warranty slogan "If you break it, we'll replace it, forever." I've always been skeptical about any of these kinds of claims but with nothing to lose I contacted Pelican/Case-Mate about it and submitted a claim, and within 24hrs, they approved it and sent me out a replacement as soon as the next business day. They are indeed true to their word - great company to deal with.

I am very tough on phones and so are my kids. $1000 phones and kids are a bad mix but with this case I've been able to navigate 3 generations of new phones across 4 kids and myself (wife is more careful than us apparently!!!). Lots of incidents over the years with no damage but the last one that is making me purchase another phone case today happened like this. Mind you .... I am just buying a case and not a phone. Put brakes on car and had the phone on the rear deck of the car as I went to test the brakes out. 40 miles an hour (est.) the phone fly's off the car into the street. By the time I got home, my wife is freaking out and getting in the car because she just got a notice from Apple that I was in an accident via the accident notification technology in the new software (the whole family gets the message btw). I explained I was ok and asked why she thought I was in an accident. She showed me the message from Apple and asked where my phone was....uh...bye bye. Retraced steps, part of the case is on the road and as I approached I could see the other half 20km away on the road but no phone. As I was walking to pick up the pieces, I see the phone on the sidewalk face up and working. Net result...one small crack on the back corner and a little road rash on a corner. That's it. Phone works perfectly. All the buttons and hinged pieces on the case are gone and a couple of pieces missing on the corners....but I'm still using it until the new one gets here. My case of choice for those times when only the best protection is needed.

Lasted 20 days ! I like the case but the clip fell apart in my hand today, this is my second pelican phone case and the first fell apart within 2 days. Please provide more quality equipment. Maybe let otter box make your clips!

This is my 2nd purchase my first case took a beating and my phone was good as new after each fall. I’m a trucker and I’ve dropped this case from the top of my truck it bounced took some damage on the edges and protected my phone each time. Highly recommend

This was a replacement for my otter box. As I had dropped my otter box defender so much it was physically broken. So what do I think of this one? It’s more slippery than the otterbox, the phone I do think more protected in this case. It’s clasped better and fit and Finnish is better. Over time the otterbox rubber was saggy and the inner shell just broke. Don’t have to worry about that with this. However the mute/action button is coverd by a flap. I don’t mind it but if you change mute often(iPhone 14PM) it’s a tight fit for your finger. I drop my phone enough to beat the snot out of cases and this does have a broken bit already on the inside of the case. Still would recommend

Really great protection for my old IPhone 14

I know this is late for a review. I’ve had this case for 3 years on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It has been warranty replaced 3 times by Pelican. It has saved my phone each time. The case is a little bit bulky but it’s a small price to pay for the protection. When I do get a new phone I will definitely be buying another pelican case. I have used other other brand cases and none have lasted or even came close to this. I work in a shop all day so my phone takes a beating. But once the case is off it looks new. Worth the money.

06/2023 UPDATE: I wanted to update my review after my case fell apart and I had to submit a warranty claim. The claim process was relatively easy, submitted a claim form, received an email, sent pictures in of the case now falling apart. Pretty much all the potential problems I listed in my initial review came true. The buttons on the sides started to come free, the hinged power port broke off, and the magnetic bits in the back had lost their adhesion and become free. The response I received was that the case was out of stock and I could pick an alternate case or wait for it to be restocked. None of the cases available were anywhere near the price point or protection of this case so I declined. I received notification today that the case was back in stock. Great! Well not so fast. Before they will ship I HAVE TO PAY $7.49usd FOR SHIPPING OF THE REPLACEMENT CASE. This is definitely poor customer service. This will be my LAST CaseMate brand purchase. And you will find the replacement on ebay at discounted rate as ive already switched to a Otterbox. My advice again is to not buy this case and get an Otterbox instead. Original Review: So this is my second pelican case and it seems they still haven't fixed the short comings from the first one I purchased for my iPhone 11 Pro Max which I finally replaced with a Otterbox Defender. Pro's: Sturdy case, very protective, allows use of screen and camera lens protectors. Two piece design, securely holds phone. Best drop rating I could find. Stylish Kevlar weave finish. Con's: Id say the BIGGEST one for me is the little "door" that covers the Ring/Silent toggle. Unless you have TINY fingers you aren't gonna be able to easily and quickly turn it on and off. Would have been MUCH better if they had put a toggle on the side of the case to actuate the phone. I use this feature alot, so not being able to easily switch is a big issue. The second annoyance is the lightning port cover, its hard plastic it only opens .90 degrees. If you try to open it more it will snap off. This is what happened on my first case. Pelican should have just put a rubber plug there like Otterbox does. Because this cover is hard plastic and only opens 90 degrees when I try to charge it in my dash cradle, it does not sit fully in the cradle. The only solution is to not bother charging it, get a new cradle, get a new phone case. I had high hopes for this case, but unfortunately Pelican let me down...again. My advice get an Otterbox instead. I will probably end up getting another Otterbox Defender in the future.

I love Pelican products, have used them for 30+ years for my job. Had the old shield case for my iphone 11 which was the best thing I ever got for it, really well designed and tough as nails, loved it. So I get this new one for my iphone 14. This new one is absolutely a disaster. What the hell were they thinking? It's an embarrassment to the Pelican name. The buttons used to be built into the edges of the frame, now they are flimsy bits of rubber that fit loosely into slots in the clips. They fall out every single time and are impossible to get back in their slots. I don't understand what they were thinking. This thing is a total fail.

Case received heavy damage as a result of tradeswork. It will keep your phone safe, however the case is in very poor condition after just two weeks of use.

数回落としました。 歩いてる時や走ってる時ポケットから落下 シャーと転がったり、ドンとコンクリートや、アスファルトにレンガの道に落としても iPhoneは問題無く本体に傷も付かずにホットした事が何度か、もちろんケースは傷ついたり、小さな凹みができたりしました。 パッと見は全然分からない感じです。 とても信頼できるケースと思い。 今使っているiPhoneは長く使う予定なので、セール時に同じケースをもう一つ予備として買ってしまいました。 不便な所は少し重くなる事位 パッと見、iPhoneの種類が他の人は 分かりずらい所ぐらい(私はそこも良いと思います。職場でiPhoneと気付かれる迄１年位かかりiPhoneとバレました。) 後は 他の色が無くて個性を出せない所です。 女性はかなり抵抗あるゴツさと思う でも、 リピ買いしたくなる程の良い製品 ブランド、所有感だと思います。

Excelente nivel de protección y buenos materiales de fabricación

I returned it within minutes.
