## Description

Get a grip with the Gripmunk from Smartish. This case hits the grip sweet spot, putting the odds against gravity ever-so-slightly in your favor. With its ultra-light and durable construction, it's both thin and collected. The corner air pockets (think airbags for your iPhone,) truly corner the market on protection and corny jokes. With a bezeled front, it also safely elevates your phone's screen off the table and away from rough surfaces-- you bezel believe it.

Review: Great case, nice price, good customer support - This is my 3rd Smartish case. I purchased a clear one for my prior phone (SE 2020), a purple one for my wife's 13 mini, and now a clear MagSafe one for my 13 mini. We are happy with all three of them. It fits the mini well, the buttons work easily, and it seems adequately rugged. Neither I nor my wife have yet dropped our 13 minis, but in the 1-1/2 yrs that I had the SE2020 it experienced a few drops and survived them all. The purple one (my wife's) is a nice bright color. Unfortunately, none of the other colors were as appealing to my eye and so to get one I could easily distinguish from hers, I chose the clear. It turned out well. When the phone lays on its face, I see its red color clearly through the case and the interesting white circle+line of the MagSafe feature. When laying on its back, I see the completely black screen surrounded by a thin pearlescent border that helps it stand out when sitting on a surface so I can find it easily, yet isn't so flashy as to stand out on a restaurant table where it might be snatched. I used to use other brands that make more rugged two-part cases, but they were larger, harder to install, and the buttons did not work as well. I think the Smartish is a good balance between a tank and something more usable. I like the pebble-grain perimeter that makes it easy to pick up and grip (much easier than a naked iPhone). Although the clear back is slick, the border stands out above its perimeter so when laying on a surface it will not easily slide if bumped or if the surface is tilted. As for the clarity of the clear case, time will tell. However, I just took a look at my 1-1/2 yr old SE 2020 case and it has mildly yellowed with age, so I suspect if you want clear clear, you might be replacing your case in a couple of years. Fortunately, due to Smartish's lifetime warranty they will replace a case due to yellowing as they confirmed to me in an email. However for most users, if you keep your iPhone about 4 years (industry estimated average use life), the case should likely be fine as long as you don’t mind a bit of discoloration. And finally, I am pleased to note that they are quite responsive to questions and comments via email, responding back within a day or so. I like a manufacturer that is easy to contact.
Review: A phone case I actually like! - I don’t know much about smartish or how long they been around. First time ever seeing a phone case by them. I just got a new IPhone 13 mini and I’m a avid user of OtterBox as they are solid reliable cases. Sadly I feel they have gotten to expensive and I needed a case and I see all these “flashy” “designer” cases with too much going on. I just need a case, a solid color, gripable, not expensive, but not too cheap either as I’ve seen brands with case for $5-10 that are just piss poor quality. So I went out on a limb as I found a solid blue case that claims to be gripable, which it is and for a $20 price tag! The installation was very easy and the feel of the case feels like good quality, doesn’t feel like cheap plastic and that it’s gonna break instantly, not to bulky but not too thin either, it fits snuggly around my phone and honestly I’m quite satisfied with this purchase. The design is simple, usability is great! The gripping is great! Obviously this being a first time purchase, I’m not sure how the case will do over time but I feel like it’ll last. So at this moment I will give 5 stars for the overall feel of the case, the pricing and the ease of installation. If you are looking for a case and either do OtterBox or another brand and they are a little pricey, I recommend trying smartish. I got the gripmunk, but they also have cases where you can put your bank card and ID into as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very slim case, great alternative to other slim cases but still has good protective qualities
*by A***N on July 24, 2025*

Great case that is still very slim but very grippy on the sides, still has more than adequate protection for corners/camera of the iphone 13. Sides have great textured feel, more aggressive than other slim cases I've used. Still has magsafe which is really convenient now. Giving new life to a recycled iphone to the kids. Very satisfied with the case, will keep this line/brand on the radar as an alternative to my Caudabe cases, was a prime day value :)
