****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. :(

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

You need the jaws of life to get that case off. I know I just about did. No Otterbox for me this year it seems.

Dbrand grip case, why can you only buy one skin?
I don't see anyway to order extra skins.

Bulletproof Banana for the win ! :oops:

Yeah, they’ve changed some things I don’t like. I hate that you can’t order just the case, but are forced to buy a skin for an extra $10 (that I won’t use anyway).

I didn’t even realize you seemingly can’t add an additional skin. Weird.

Wonder how slow the shipping will be?
It's been a minute since I've ordered from Dbrand.

After proclaiming that the Sheath will be the only case I buy this year, I already have two cases in my shopping cart:

1. Ringke Fusion-X (camouflage)
2. Cyrill Color Brick

To those that have tried either of these cases and the Sheath, how would you say they compare in terms of bulk, buttons, and grip? Between the two, the Ringke Fusion-X looks like it would add the most thickness. I really like the camouflage pattern, though. @Hooterville already mentioned that the Cyrill Color Brick is a grease, fingerprint, and smudge magnet, but I think I can live with those issues (I'm used to the old Pitaka and Evutec cases being the same way).

Cyrill Color Brick would be the prefect case if not for the fingerprint problem on the back.

I haven’t had the Fusion-X for the iPhone this time around, but I have had it in the past for the Pixel 4 XL (and 3 XL before that) and it’s a great case. Only thing I didn’t love is it was a bit tough on your pinky if you’re like me and rest the bottom of your phone there when you’re holding it. But the buttons are excellent (like pretty much every Ringke case) and the grip should be good. The “frame” of the Fusion-X is a harder, rougher plastic-type material and should be easy to hold on to.

I do have the same Color Brick @Hooterville has and it’s a great case too. The buttons are really clicky and he’s right that the back can be a bit of a grease magnet, but it cleans off easy with the wipe of a cloth. I like how the frame has lines cut into the sides that make it easier to grip. Fit is spot on too. And the interchangeable buttons are a nice touch.

ok, I had the Ringke fusion cameo last year for my 11 pro, loved it for like $15AUD was near best case I had and kept it and sold with the phone. Would be a bit bigger than the sheath, I should get another one for my 12.
I would like the version with the clear matt back but can't get it here, cameo didn't show prints, good buttons, good grip. Can't think of a negative.
Oh and sides taper so good for swiping.

Guessing the clear gloss back version is FP magnet if anyone knows?

Going to exchange that Symmetry with Amazon and hope the replacement is a little looser. :rolleyes:

I love the color as it goes perfect with the Graphite phone. Here's to hoping the new Earl Grey is softer. ?

My dbrand grip was very saggy around the volume buttons. Trying to return it for a new one but their customer service is awful.
