So by looking at the pitaka pictures here, it seems that the 12 pro is not that much smaller than the existing 11 PM. What do you all think ?
That’s a fair and interesting statement. When I was comparing phones last year in the Apple Store (remember those, lol), I noted that the size difference in-hand between the 11 Pro and the 11 Pro Max was not that large. The 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max gain most of their screen size from bevel thinning, they are not maybe noticeably larger in hand than the 11 models, though the external dimensions are slightly larger.
My conclusion was that if I got an 11 Pro Max, the case would be critical. I ended up getting the 11 Pro; this year the 12 Pro Max for the camera, I can no longer resist, it will be my first Max.
The Apple silicone battery case made it difficult to get even the 11 Pro out of even cargo pants pockets, so a silicone or other ‘sticky’ case will be a non-starter for me for the 12 Pro Max, as would be a large case like some of the the Otterbox cases. I have tried the Caudabe Sheath on the 11 Pro, and like it, it seems a good balance between size and protectiveness, and the material is not ‘sticky’ to fabric.
A Max case for me needs to be 1) not increasing the size that much, 2) not made of a sticky material that makes it difficult to get out of pants pockets. Of course if you carry a purse or a murse, or put the phone in a back pocket, you can get away with a lot more case size at least.
Hope this helps
