I love this case Allot! The aesthetics are great . It’s thin in hand comfortable . The frosted black version is beautiful and the speakers in a different upright position work well as with the on and off toggle switch is unique addition also. It’s plenty enough grip for me. The one thing that really annoys me is that this case is 60 bucks and I feel even before you put the case on the phone , you shake it and the buttons rattle on the case. When I put it on the phone , the buttons also move back and forth and you can hear a rattling noise. When you press them they also make a rattling noise . For some people, this may not bother but for myself, it is annoying because it’s an overall amazing quality case but it gives it a cheap feel so to speak when the buttons rattle. I don’t know if I was given a faulty case from Amazon, but I hate to say that I may return it because this rattling noise for the buttons is a no-no. They must check this on their future versions to make sure no rattling. I have owned so many iPhone cases and without a doubt, rattley buttons don’t sit well for me. I hope Catalyst addresses this issue because they are a great company with great products, and they have won many awards for their products . I hope they fix this and make sure the buttons do not shake back-and-forth or up-and-down even before putting the case on .
thank you for the feedback! catalyst has been around for awhile now, thats why i tried this case, and it is a good case the design the frosted look overall built quality decent magnets and their rotating mute switch is definitely unique, the speaker holes is ok, and the buttons are clicky. You mentioned the downside, ours to has the rattling noise, which we can understand be very annoying hopefully they fix that. With other competition out there, they need to innovate , benks esr and others has cases that are decent quality and price friendly as well.
Hey my friend. I have an update! So I heard from another person somewhere that to stop the rattling they put a small clear piece of scotch tape cut in half over the buttons inside the back of the case to stop the rattling. Well this worked and now the buttons don’t rattle with the case off, and with the case on! I’m pretty excited! I hate rigging things but with this little touch up it corrects the problem and I don’t have to listen to the rattling and it’s Perfect now. Nobody sees it and it doesn’t damage my phone. I was going to return this case today, but I’m not keeping it. Love it now. I just don’t like rattle noises it sounds cheap to me .. I hope they fix this in the future because this is all it needed.
good hack! atleast it stops the rattling , but catalyst need to step up and fix that, we shouldnt have to rig it just to fix any issue, it should be working well from the start. Atleast you dont have to return yours and now you have your awesome case! thanks for the tip !
What screen protector you are using with this? I bought one before for my iphone 13 and have to buy a smaller screen protector that is not for my phone 😅. And right now, i upgraded to iphone 14 pro max and looking for the best screen protector with this case. Thank you in advance!
I just use spigen screen protector, it’s price friendly, and it doesn’t get in the way of phone cases, you can get it here amzn.to/4g9p1Ue nice upgrade by the way 👍, have a good day
I used catalyst case since iphone 12 came out. The only issue was that after a year of use if you remove the case, the side border comes off of the back plate. Still though extremely durable and protective. Today I am upgrading to iPhone 14 pro max and the case is still going. I am here on youtube looking if there is anything better than this. Catalyst already met my expectations and I am having a hard time choosing a different brand.
There are cases that has gotten better and some worse,,, benks has been putting out good cases for affordable price,,, rhinoshield with there strong magsafe, but to your point if your case from your iphone 12 is still intact, theres nothing wrong with going with the same brand , that catalyst case you have lasted you years that’s really good 👍
Have this for my 13 pro max. Feels very very slim. Switches make it feel like there is no case in the way. Stays clean - very protective. The mute crown makes the switch soooooo convenient to use! Just make sure to use a case friendly screen protector. Edge to edge screen protector will lift every time at the corners. Wrapping around the edge of IPhone is what makes the fit amazingly close and protective. I have bought a lot of cases- none feel as slim and protective as this. I just had to add a MagSafe ring. Wish they would make a MagSafe version for the 13 pro max. Oh and I have the neon green- so luminous at night - makes it easy to find it on the nightstand in the dark. 😅. P. S. The is No rattling of the switches at all. The buttons feel very tight and naked - very different from any other of the cases I own.
Thank you for the input, looks like the fit is better on the iphone 13, this case is pretty solid and catalyst has been around for awhile, I’m really surprised they don’t have a magsafe case for the 13 like you said, I’m sure there’s good amount of people would want that especially the phone being magsafe capable, it’s understandable for the iphone 11 but they should have it starting on the iPhone 12 and up, atleast yours doesn’t have the rattling sound, also that’s why we always prefer a screen protector that doesn’t fill the whole screen a gap would be better do the case doesn’t touch it, i know its s little hard to see because of the color but does yours yellow? Just curious, ours is still ok
it shouldnt , the toggle is not a sharp item that can scratch your mute switch, it would probably protect the mute switch if anything , because its usually exposed , with the toggle switch its covered. have a good day!

Does it make the phone feel wider?

It looks awesome but one thing I am afraid is that the mute switch/toggle/button will scratch the iPhone mute switch. Would that be an issue?
it shouldnt , the toggle is not a sharp item that can scratch your mute switch, it would probably protect the mute switch if anything , because its usually exposed , with the toggle switch its covered. have a good day!
