Protection Tips from Gorilla Gearheads
- Clean the stainless steel before installing: Use the included microfiber cloth to wipe the iPhone 14 Pro back and stainless steel sides before snapping the slim case on. Stainless steel is softer than aluminum and more susceptible to scratch marks from trapped grit.
- Pair with a screen protector: The slim case leaves the iPhone 14 Pro's Always-On Display and Dynamic Island fully exposed. A 9H tempered glass adds the front-face protection this display deserves.
- Deep-clean quarterly: Stainless steel can show micro-scratches from grit trapped under the slim case. Pop the case off every three months for a thorough wipe of both surfaces.
- Avoid solvent cleaners: Acetone and alcohol degrade the HALS coating. Use only a damp microfiber cloth with mild soap on the iPhone 14 Pro slim case.
- Protect during travel: The stainless steel frame on the iPhone 14 Pro is more scratch-prone than titanium. Keep the slim case on at all times in busy environments like airports and concerts.
- Check MagSafe alignment: Wipe the slim case back if MagSafe charger alignment seems off-center on the iPhone 14 Pro.
