Wondering if Amazon will stick with this price even if it comes in higher?
Once you pay for it..,the price won’t change if it goes up or down or if it’s their mistake.
Down side could be it takes 2 months. Up side is that if they get stock next week yours will ship.
But since they don’t charge you until it ships...you aren’t out anything
I’m very pleased with my new silver Pro Max. With a body like that, there’s no way I could cover it with a big bulky case. So I bought a Ringke clear matte case.
I can only speak for the Defender but the answer is yes. It’s the most protective case and the only one in my opinion that has adequate front lip protection for the screen
I love the Pursuit. I had the clear Pursuit case for my X. But of course 2 years after, the sides just started breaking away. The back is a scratch magnet but it still looks cool.More on the XT-
OtterBox Defender XT with MagSafe Protective Case Black for iPhone 12/ – Endless Accessories

It is the pursuit just renamed.
I hope they make an XT in clear. Already got the Defender Pro black.
Got mine yesterday. Loving it so far. It's not flimsy. Lol. It's a hard rigid case. Quite thin too. Edit: sorry. Mine is the Totalee case. I misread.
Glad to hear that
. I was torn between Totallee and Peel. Used to use Totallee and getting flimsy overtime. Looking forward to receive the PEEL case.Edit: Totallee seems to be improving. Mine was back with iPhone X. So may be that was early age of R&D.
Otterbox Symmetry in Earl Grey in today. I was hesitant to try the Symmetry this year because the sides and rubber edging around screen are mighty stiff and sharp feeling. Caved in and purchased this one. It's a fantastic case but one tough mother to get the phone into and I pray these stiff/sharp edges do not scratch the sides of my phone. 
The case fits tight and adds hardly any bulk to the phone at all. The only cons are the stiff/sharp side edges, the buttons feel a little too flush and the back is slippery. This Earl Grey color is like an Army Green and Olive color that looks fantastic with the graphite phone. This is a great feeling case that I like.
Might need a crowbar or Sawzall to get the phone out of the case though.
****UPDATE on the Symmetry**** I literally could not get my phone out of this case. I've had 100's of different cases over the years and this is by far the hardest case to get the phone in or out of. I'm returning it and I'm DONE with the Symmetry this year.

Yeah man getting it in and out of the case is a cluster f. Yet another reason I sent it back. Along with the slippery back like you said. Buttons on mine were trash. Though it seems like I am in the minority here. Maybe I just had a dud. Liking that color though!
Not sure what case to get at this point. I have sent all of them back minus Apple leather lol. Still need a stronger case for when I am out and about etc.
Have you tried the UAG Civilian? Easy to get on. Responsive buttons. Protective front lip and no camera lip on the back so it lies flat. Comes in five colors.
Yea, these Symmetry buttons are almost flush with the sides and not as good as past Symmetry cases.
I'm wondering if the neon green buttons of the Cyrill case would work in the Symmetry?
Black Symmetry with neon green buttons
I have not. Tried the Monarch but sent it back as per usual due to sagging at the bottom.
The one I got has a bow in the middle of the back of the case that makes it wobble on a flat surface. This on my iPhone Mini.
And the mute switch hole was not centered on the mute switch.

In a day or two when I remove my phone from the Symmetry I'll see if the buttons are interchangeable.
It they are interchangeable there is a black Symmetry in my future.

More slippery than last years. I have returned everything too, sold my black leather, only have a black sheath, might get the grey they offered me 70% off and free shipping as good will gesture from previous purchase. $9Aud all up.
The Civilian is a rigid case, so no sagging. Just a suggestion, as I understand that cases are personal. The Civilian does have symmetrical speaker cutouts (which bother me not at all). But a perfect fit and terrific quality.
Yeah, same here every so often. The Tough Armor has those weird line cutouts which I don't know serve any purpose.

Also the neon green buttons are not interchangeable with the Symmetry case.
