Apple nailed iPhone Duo split screen, even as iPad multitasking feels convoluted

For the top-tier iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple's own cases are available but can be expensive and somewhat dull. Thankfully, third-party manufacturers offer a wide range of stylish and protective options. Here are the best cases currently available for the iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Photographers will appreciate the Peak Design Everyday Case, crafted by the renowned photography gear brand. Made from materials such as nylon canvas, full-grain leather, and vegan leatherette, the case features machined aluminum buttons and a camera control passthrough. It offers various options, including a plain rear, a pull-out finger loop for secure handholding, or both. The cases are Fair Trade Certified and backed by a lifetime guarantee.

For fashion-forward individuals, Burga Tough presents an array of striking designs catering to personal style. With more than 500 designs, including cute cats, animal prints, geometric patterns, and mirror finishes, there's a Burga Tough case for every taste. The CloudGuard 2-in-1 Defense System provides dual-layer protection against drops, while raised bezels around the display and camera lenses prevent scratching. MagSafe compatibility is assured, and the cases are backed by a lifetime guarantee.

When seeking a slim and lightweight case to preserve the iPhone 18 Pro Max's sleek design, the Pitaka Edge is an excellent choice. This high-tech case is made from aerospace-grade aramid fiber, weighing just 25 grams and measuring only 1.2mm in thickness. The case features a camera bump protector and a PitaTap Camera Control cover that maintains full functionality of the Camera Control button.

While physical buttons lack protection, cutouts ensure ease of use. Design options include a textured, pixelated look with names like Milky Way Galaxy and Glints of Gold.
