The iPhone 14 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Plus share a 6.7-inch screen, but the iPhone 14 Pro is a smaller 6.1-inch phone, so no single case fits all three. For the Pro Max, the iPhone 14 Pro Max Double Sided Metal Tempered Glass Case is our pick, and this iPhone 14 Pro Max vs iPhone 14 Pro vs iPhone 14 Plus guide explains how to choose for the other two.
Gorilla Cases offers a dedicated collection for each of these phones, and that is the right place to start. Welcome to the Gorilla Family, where fit comes first.
Why This iPhone 14 Case Comparison Matters in 2026
The iPhone 14 family launched in 2022, yet in 2026 plenty of Gorilla Family members still carry one every day. These phones are past their warranty window for most owners, which makes a good case the cheapest insurance you can buy. A cracked back glass or bent frame costs far more than a case ever will.
The three models look alike from a distance, but they are not interchangeable. The iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro have the Dynamic Island and a triple camera system, while the iPhone 14 Plus has a notch and a dual camera. Those differences change how a case must be cut, so ordering by size alone leads to returns.
This guide compares the iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Plus on the points that matter for protection, and it names the best Gorilla Cases starting point for each. The Best iPhone 14 Pro Max case 2026 choice and the picks for its siblings come down to size, camera layout, and how you use the phone.
10 Key Things to Compare Before You Buy an iPhone 14 Case
- Screen size: The iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Plus are both 6.7 inches, while the iPhone 14 Pro is 6.1 inches. A case for one will not fit the smaller phone.
- Camera layout: The two Pro models use a triple camera with a large raised block. The iPhone 14 Plus has two lenses and a much smaller bump, so camera cutouts differ.
- Front cutout: The Pro models have the Dynamic Island, and the Plus has a notch. A case with a raised lip should clear both without touching the display.
- Weight: The iPhone 14 Pro Max weighs about 240 grams, the Pro about 206 grams, and the Plus about 203 grams. Heavier phones put more force on a corner when dropped.
- Frame material: The Pro models use stainless steel, and the iPhone 14 Plus uses aluminum. A rigid metal case protects either frame from dents.
- Thickness: All three are about 7.8 millimeters thick before a case. Adding a case changes pocket feel, so slim styles suit the smaller phone best.
- Port and button access: Every model keeps the Lightning port and the ring/silent switch. A good case leaves both easy to reach.
- Screen protection: A raised edge or a built-in glass layer helps keep the display off flat surfaces. Cases with a glass element add a second line of defense.
- Grip: The Pro Max is a large, slippery phone. Texture and a firm bumper matter more as size goes up.
- Use case: Jobsite, commute, travel, or desk life each favor a different style. Match the case to the day, not just to the phone.
Who Should Pick Which iPhone 14 Model Case
If you own the iPhone 14 Pro Max, start with the iPhone 14 Pro Max Cases collection. The Double Sided Metal Tempered Glass Case pairs a metal frame with glass, which suits people who want a premium look and real structure on a big phone.
If you carry the iPhone 14 Pro, the iPhone 14 Pro Cases collection is the match. Look for a compact, rigid style so the 6.1-inch body stays pocketable. Owners of the iPhone 14 Plus should browse the iPhone 14 Plus Cases collection, where the dual-camera cutout and notch layout are respected.

Tech Specs: iPhone 14 Pro Max vs iPhone 14 Pro vs iPhone 14 Plus
These are Apple's published figures, rounded, and they are what a case maker designs around. Use them to sanity check any listing before you buy.
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 6.7-inch display, about 160.7 by 77.6 by 7.85 millimeters, about 240 grams, triple camera, Dynamic Island, stainless steel frame.
- iPhone 14 Pro: 6.1-inch display, about 147.5 by 71.5 by 7.85 millimeters, about 206 grams, triple camera, Dynamic Island, stainless steel frame.
- iPhone 14 Plus: 6.7-inch display, about 160.8 by 78.1 by 7.8 millimeters, about 203 grams, dual camera, notch, aluminum frame.
Notice that the iPhone 14 Plus is almost exactly the Pro Max's footprint but 37 grams lighter. That is why people assume the cases swap, and it is also why the camera cutout is the deciding detail.

Illustrative Scenario: One Household, Three iPhone 14 Models
This is an example, not a customer review. Imagine a family where one parent has an iPhone 14 Pro Max for work, the other has an iPhone 14 Pro, and a teenager inherited an iPhone 14 Plus.
They order three cases for the 'iPhone 14' and assume they will swap freely. The Pro Max case does not fit the Pro because the body is shorter, and it does not fit the Plus because the camera block is a different shape. Checking the model name on each collection page before ordering would have saved a week and a return label.
Protection Tips for Any iPhone 14 Model
- Confirm the exact model in Settings, General, About before ordering.
- Match the camera cutout to your lens count, three or two.
- Remove the old case and clean the back before installing a new one.
- Choose a raised lip so the display and lenses never touch a table.
- Replace a case whose corners have cracked, since it no longer absorbs impact.
- Keep the Lightning port clear of lint to avoid charging problems.
- Pair any case with a tempered glass screen protector for the front.
What's in the Box and How to Install
Each Gorilla Cases order ships with the case and any included accessories listed on the product page. Check the specific listing for the exact contents before you buy.
To install, power the phone off, line up the camera cutout first, and press the case around the edges until it sits flush. Test the buttons and the port. If anything feels loose, contact us at info@gorillacasestore.com.
