rockcase R14-CV06 Matte Case for iPhone 14 Plus Review: Slim, Shockproof Protection
For weeks, I’ve been putting the rockcase R14-CV06 Matte Case for my iPhone 14 Plus through its paces. This review details my experience with this slim, shockproof case, covering everything from its initial unboxing to its long-term performance in daily life.
The R14-CV06 boasts a minimalist design. The advertised 1.5mm thickness is impressively accurate, providing a barely-there feel while still offering protection. The frosted translucent back allows the iPhone’s color to subtly shine through, while simultaneously mitigating fingerprints. The TPU bumper provides a reassuring grip. The advertised easy access to all ports and buttons proves accurate in use.

The drop protection is where this case truly shines. I’ve accidentally dropped my phone several times (on various surfaces), and the R14-CV06 has consistently prevented any damage. The raised edges offer additional protection for the screen and camera lenses. While the case is thin, it provides a surprisingly good level of impact absorption. The material feels durable, showing minimal signs of wear and tear after extended use. The clarity of the back has also held up well; I haven’t observed any significant yellowing.
One minor drawback is that the case is somewhat slippery, making it prone to sliding off surfaces. This is a common problem with many cases with smooth finishes, however. It might have benefitted from a slightly more textured grip on the sides.
Pros:
- Slim and lightweight design
- Excellent drop protection
- Durable materials
- Maintains phone’s aesthetic
- Easy access to ports and buttons
Cons:
- Slightly slippery surface
- May not offer sufficient protection against extreme impacts
Overall, the rockcase R14-CV06 is an excellent case for the iPhone 14 Plus. The balance of slim design, robust protection, and reasonable price makes it a strong contender in a crowded market. While its slightly slippery nature is a minor drawback, the peace of mind knowing my phone is well-protected outweighs this. I would wholeheartedly recommend this case to anyone seeking a stylish and effective protective solution for their iPhone 14 Plus.
