Purchased December 6 arrived next day. Also purchased HaloLock Wireless Charger.
ESR Shock Armor Kickstand Case
Also Posted under ESR Kickstand Case.
I took one star off due to Vent Mount interfered with dashboard screen in Toyota Prius. Read for my solution below.
The HaloLock Car Charger works fine the iPhone is held on very well and my iPhone does not slid off when I hit bumps in the road. I did not like using the vent mount in my Prius the iPhone would block the control screen when placed at the location I liked. Luckily I was able to swap the charging head onto my trusty iOttie one touch 4 dash mount as the ball mount work with the ESR head. This allows for a much better location for my iPhone on the dashboard. The fan in the ESR charger is surprisingly noisy but not noticeable if listening to anything over car sound system. I do not know how “fast” the charger is but I like not needing to plug the iPhone into charger using a lighting cable. It would be nice if the HaloLock came with a USB C Charger Adapter (I use the Ainope 30W charger) without issues.
The case is as expected a perfect fit for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. My last case for iPhone X was an Apple Leather case. I decided on the ESR because I liked the idea of a clear case and the added benefit of the MagSafe compatibility. I thought the kickstand would help protect the camera lens well.
The case is easy to hold in hand and does not feel slippery. The buttons are easy to press and work well. The kickstand is brilliant! I did not expect to like it so much. The hinge feels strong and holds its angle without issue. I have used it in horizontal and vertical positions without any problems. The case slides in and out of my pocket smoothly. I hope I never drop my phone but I will assume the “Military-Grade” protection will help prevent disaster.
The MagSafe works well I use it with the Apple supplied charging disk and the ESR Wireless Car Charger and the hold is strong. I do not have any other MagSafe accessories that I can test this with. I do have a few Qi charging pads flat and angled and the Camera Ring Stand does make placement a bit temperamental. Once I learned how to place the iPhone in the angled stand horizontally with the Kickstand Ring to the left I was able to obtain a slow but steady charge. The lens protector will not let the iPhone charge when placed in angle stand vertically. The flat Qi chargers I have work fine with this case.
The ESR case and wireless car chargers are well made and worth getting if the design is pleasing to you. I will keep track of new products coming from this this company.
