iPhone XS Max

Protective accessories for iPhone XS Max

iPhone XS Max with its 6.5-inch Super Retina OLED screen, A12 Bionic processor and stainless steel frame was the first truly large iPhone. At 208 g with an all-glass construction, proper protection is particularly important.

iPhone XS Max cases — what to choose?

The large form factor increases the risk of drops. Here are the iPhone XS Max case categories:

• Rugged cases — a priority for a large phone, reinforced corners and thicker bezels
• Clear cases — showcase the body colour: Gold, Silver or Space Gray
• Slim cases — minimise added thickness, important for such a large phone
• Flip cases — full screen protection in a pocket or bag

Tempered glass and films for the 6.5-inch screen

The large OLED screen is expensive to repair. 9H tempered glass with an oleophobic coating is the basic safeguard. 3mk and Spigen offer glass with full coverage, precisely cut to the rounded display edges.

iPhone XS Max vs other large iPhones

Cases for iPhone XS Max are not compatible with other large models — neither with iPhone 11 Pro Max nor with iPhone 8 Plus. Each of these models has different dimensions and camera placement.

Frequently asked questions

Does a case for iPhone XS Max fit the iPhone 11 Pro Max?

No. Despite a similar screen diagonal (6.5 inches), both models have different body dimensions and a different camera layout. Cases are not interchangeable.

Does a rugged case significantly enlarge the iPhone XS Max?

A rugged case adds 2-4 mm to the dimensions, but for a phone of this size the difference is minimal. It is worth prioritising protection — repairing the glass back is costly.
