14 pro max case overheat recommendations?

Submitted by dazednconfused365 t3_1216mvw in iphone

i recently switched from samsung to an iphone 14 pro max and usually leave a game open afk for grinding while i'm working, and noticed the phone gets very hot. I think the case is the issue, insulating instead of dissipating heat. I also discovered that since the cameras are so extended, the phone when laid flat wobbles which just bugs me. Because i have a case idea in mind that is specific and am unfamiliar with iphones or overheating issues, i thought maybe the best bet would be to ask for recommendations for a reliable case with some kind of heat dissipation and some sort of sliding camera cover that makes the phone's weight evenly distributed with 4 contact points so it doesn't wobble.

Here’s my two cents: iPhones will get hot, case or no. When it feels particularly warm, I feel the best thing to do is stop what you’re doing (if possible) and turn off the phone for a while. I give it 30 minutes minimum or as long as possible until it cools down… Again, just my opinion.. Hope this helps a little…

yes, but i do think the case is also kinda expediting the issue, and was hoping to find more breathe-able cases that also dont wobble, because case or not, the phone still wobbles, and without the case it runs waaayyy less hot with the same amount of use.

I switched from s21 to 14 pro and also noticed how much more hot it gets, from fast charging or intensive apps, however, it’s only annoying without the case, with a silicone case it feels fine, so not sure why you experiencing issues

Just get an original case from apple and you’d be fine. I go caseless though
