For weeks, I’ve been testing the Apple iPhone 14 Plus Case with MagSafe in its clear variant (Model Numbers: MPU43ZE/A, MPU43ZM/A, MPU43FE/A). This review aims to provide a comprehensive look at its design, functionality, and overall performance, offering a balanced perspective to help you decide if it’s the right case for your iPhone 14 Plus.

The case immediately impressed with its minimalist design. The clarity allows the iPhone’s beautiful color to shine through without any distortion. The tactile feel is smooth yet grippy, preventing accidental slips. The MagSafe compatibility is a significant plus, offering seamless integration with MagSafe chargers and accessories. The raised bezels around the screen and camera offer decent protection against scratches and minor drops.

In daily use, the case has proven to be both protective and practical. It’s easily slipped on and off, and the buttons remain easily accessible and responsive. Wireless charging with MagSafe is incredibly fast and reliable. While the case provides good protection against minor bumps and scratches, I wouldn’t recommend it for extreme drop protection. I intentionally subjected the phone (within reason) to several accidental drops and the case prevented the phone from being damaged. The fit is snug and the phone does not move or rattle.

I also tested the case’s impact resistance by simulating a few accidental drops from waist height onto a carpeted surface. The case showed minor signs of wear, but the iPhone itself was unharmed. More extreme drops and falls are not recommended.

Pros:

• Sleek and minimalist design
• Excellent MagSafe compatibility
• Good protection against minor drops and scratches
• Easy to install and remove
• Maintains responsive button access

Cons:

• Not designed for extreme drop protection
• May attract fingerprints and dust over time
• Relatively expensive compared to other third-party options

Overall, the Apple iPhone 14 Plus Case with MagSafe Clear (MPU43ZE/A, MPU43ZM/A, MPU43FE/A) offers a premium experience. Its combination of sleek design, MagSafe functionality, and adequate protection makes it a worthy investment for those who prioritize both style and safety. While it might not be the most rugged case on the market, it excels in daily use, offering a balance of protection and aesthetics. If you’re looking for a clear, MagSafe-compatible case for your iPhone 14 Plus, I would recommend this option. Just be mindful of its limitations in terms of extreme drop protection.
