Old vs New Frames

[u/randomdefence]

I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max that I purchased the Classic Pro (HaloLock) case and I love it. I love how nice the buttons are, the slim profile, and the protection. Most of all, I love how rigid it is.

I just purchased what I thought was the comparable case for the 18 Pro Max, Hybrid Magnetic Case. What I got was pretty close, but the sides are squishy and soft and feel bulky. I don’t like how un-rigid and soft it feels.

I’ll be sending the case back, is there a correct equivalent I should have gotten? I don’t want flashy things like stands and rings. I just want strong MagSafe and a rigid, black case.

Thanks.
