Product Description
A slim, full-coverage iPhone case from STEVVEX Gadgets with two standout features: a physical sliding cover that opens and closes over the camera lens, and a built-in magnetic ring that automatically aligns with wireless chargers for fast, reliable charging without removing the case. The sliding camera cover physically shields the lens from scratches, dust, and impact when closed, and opens smoothly without loosening or play in the mechanism. The magnetic ring is embedded in the case structure and works with Qi wireless chargers and MagSafe-compatible chargers. Ultra-thin profile keeps the phone close to its original dimensions. Available in Black, Blue, and Green for iPhone 12 and 13 series.
Key Features
- Sliding camera lens cover - a physical slide mechanism opens and closes over the camera lens; the cover protects the lens from direct scratches, dust, and minor impact when closed; slides open cleanly for photography without removing the case; no loosening or gap between the slider and case body - the mechanism is tight and precise
- Built-in magnetic ring for wireless charging - an embedded magnet circle automatically aligns the phone with wireless chargers for fast, accurate charging without repositioning; compatible with all Qi wireless chargers and MagSafe-compatible accessories
- Ultra-thin full coverage - full-coverage construction wraps all edges and the back surface while maintaining a slim profile that feels close to a bare phone in hand and pocket
- Anti-fingerprint surface - the case surface resists fingerprint smudging and oily transfer from daily handling; stays cleaner-looking between wipes than standard glossy cases
- Anti-scratch protection - the case material resists surface scratching on both the case exterior and, via the sliding lens cover, the camera lens
- Dustproof - precision port cutouts and close-fitting case edges minimize dust ingress into speaker grilles and charging openings
- Non-slip grip - the case surface provides secure friction in the hand, reducing drop risk from the glass-backed iPhone's inherently slippery surface
- Sensitive tactile buttons - the button covers transmit precise tactile feedback; the buttons feel close to direct button presses rather than the mushy response of thick button covers

The Sliding Lens Cover - Why It Matters
The iPhone camera lens is one of the most scratch-vulnerable surfaces on the device. Despite being made from sapphire glass, the lens can still be scratched by sand, grit, and abrasive particles - and a scratched lens directly degrades photo and video quality in ways that cannot be corrected in software. Standard cases protect the phone body but leave the lens housing exposed to whatever the phone contacts in a pocket or bag. The sliding cover on this case physically closes over the lens when you're not shooting - a level of lens protection that neither a standard case nor a lens ring protector can provide, since neither physically covers the lens surface. When you're ready to shoot, the cover slides open in one motion without removing the case. For users who care about long-term camera quality, this is a meaningful practical advantage over conventional case designs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the sliding cover affect photo quality when open?
No - when the slider is in the open position, the camera lens has full, unobstructed access to the scene. The sliding mechanism moves the cover completely clear of the lens and flash areas before you shoot. There is no glass, film, or material remaining over the lens when open - this is a physical mechanical cover, not a filter. Photo and video quality are identical to shooting with no case on when the slider is open.
Will the built-in magnet interfere with the iPhone or its other functions?
The embedded magnet ring is designed specifically for wireless charging alignment and is calibrated to work with the iPhone's internal components without interference. It does not affect Face ID, cellular signal, GPS, or NFC functions. The magnet is positioned to align with the iPhone's own wireless charging coil, which is why it accelerates charging alignment rather than disrupting it. If you use a physical credit card, transit card, or hotel key card stored directly against the phone back (without a wallet case), keep magnetic-sensitive cards away from the magnetic ring area to avoid potential demagnetization - this is a general precaution for any case with embedded magnets.
How does this compare to just using a separate camera lens ring protector?
A metal ring lens protector (like the STEVVEX lens ring protector sold separately) protects the lens from scratches by covering the glass surface with tempered glass - it provides always-on scratch protection but leaves the lens optically exposed at all times. The sliding cover on this case provides a different kind of protection: when closed, the lens is physically covered and shielded from both scratches and direct impact; when open, the lens is fully exposed with no glass layer between it and the scene. The right choice depends on your priorities: if you want 24/7 scratch protection without ever thinking about it, the lens ring is the simpler solution. If you want the highest level of protection when the camera isn't in use (and are willing to slide the cover open before each shooting session), this case provides more comprehensive lens protection than a ring alone.
