I liked my lightweight Benks ArmorAir, but I wasn't as careful with my iPhone as I claimed. So I switched to the Benks ArmorPro for iPhone 16 Pro Max, whose added TPU frame and raised lip better protect the screen.
Benks makes three Kevlar 600D cases: ArmorLite, ArmorAir, and ArmorPro. The ArmorAir for iPhone 16 Pro Max leaves the buttons exposed and the frame open, retailing around S$47 on Shopee, trading some protection for lighter weight.

Apple stopped making folio cases after the iPhone 11, so for my folio-loving mom I turned to Moshi. The Overture Case with Detachable Magnetic Wallet for iPhone 13 Pro retails for S$77, in black or pink.
The Moshi Arx Clear Case is a cheaper alternative to Apple's iPhone 13 Pro Max Clear Case, at S$62 versus S$75. Unlike Apple's, it protects the phone's bottom, with soft TPU sides and a hard back.
The Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max Clear Case with MagSafe is unchanged from last year's, holding the S$75 price or S$67.41 on the EPP. Shipping was even faster, delivered the day after the iPhone 13 announcement.
The Ugreen NVMe M.2 SSD USB-C Case comes in two variants on Lazada: S$31 with both USB-C and USB-A cables, or S$28.90 with just USB-C. Its space-grey aluminium enclosure feels solid, and setup is tool-free.
