For half a decade, Smartish’s Gripmunk has held that title despite going by several different names and receiving modest adjustments. And given that Smartish has improved on the tried-and-true design by including a MagSafe magnet, it’s not surprising to see that this case once again outperforms the competition when it comes to the iPhone 14 case (for a small premium).
Smartish Gripmunk with MagSafe for iPhone 14 case
The Gripmunk case is a single-piece cover made of flexible, rubber-like plastic (TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane); it has just the right amount of giving to be simple to install on your phone without stretching out, and the corners won’t sporadically come off. The casing features a smooth back and a pebbly texture around the outside, which, along with three tiny grooves on the left and right sides, significantly increases grip.
The Gripmunk gets this right, which is a relief because we prefer cases that protect the iPhone’s buttons without muffleing their clickiness. We can personally vouch for the case’s capacity to endure more than a few drops, even though we are unsure of how protective the air pockets in the four corners are.

One of the reasons we adore Smartish’s cases is because they are affordable in addition to having excellent case designs. Although cost isn’t our primary concern, when analyzing everything available, we haven’t found many cases that offer empirically superior features for the same or comparable prices; frequently, case manufacturers charge even higher prices for less remarkable models.

Apple iPhone 14 Leather Case with MagSafe
No one has been able to match the quality of Apple’s leather iPhone cases since they began producing them in 2015, especially not at the $60 (quite affordable for leather) price. Because of the premium materials, all-around protection, clicky buttons, gorgeous colors, and MagSafe compatibility, the Apple iPhone 14 Cases with MagSafe is once again our choice. This leather iPhone case is perfect in every way because of all of these factors.
The majority of other leather cases include a plastic or rubber component. The Apple version, meanwhile, is completely covered in leather with a thin layer of durable plastic hidden underneath. Even though the Apple cover rises beyond the phone’s screen and camera hump, this design helps the case look nicer than the others and makes it smaller (for protection).
Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for iPhone 14
It will still be a few years before everything is wifi and without a wallet. But until then, most people need to carry a few cards, including IDs. The best way to pack a few is with Smartish’s Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for iPhone 14, as Apple Pay does not currently support identifying alternatives. We’ve discovered that it works perfectly for a license, a credit card, and a transit card; in essence, it’s the Gripmunk with a three-card wallet integrated into the back.
