Here are some pics of my Dbrand Grip case. I ordered it early in November and got it just before Thanksgiving. Haven’t changed it out since getting it. No sags, no issues around the buttons. All are responsive (so if there is a new version, I am not seeing the same issues). It has grip but not a lint magnet. I like the buttons though wish they were solid instead of the cuts in them. To me, it’s not bulky compared to some others I have had in the past (Tough Armour, Lifeproof, etc).

I don’t remember seeing the drop protection on this and what is can handle, but it feels as good as the Mous and others. I am using an ESR screen protector on my 12PM

That looks much better than mine which I posted earlier, especially around the volume buttons.

Otterbox Defender Pro XT cases now listed on Otterbox's website.


From the pictures it looks like it’s the same material as the regular Defender, if that is the case then it’s awesome. I like the rubbery, grippy Defender material as opposed to the hard plastic on the symmetry and commuter

Mag Armor. Much firmer than typical spigen TPU case. Still looser over the buttons than I’d like. Also, over the charging port, which is far too loose for me.

Slightly thinner than the Symmetry + but 1/2 the cost

The price is $14, the cost is ???, so they're paying at most $6 per positive review. But if case cost is, say, $3/unit they're making a profit purchasing the 96% 5***** reviews it has. ?

GESMA Compatible for iPhone 12 Mini Case, Scratch Resistant & Anti Slip Grippy Soft TPU Case Compatible for iPhone 12 Mini Phone(Black)
1.0 out of 5 stars
Case texture is neat, but the screen protector is not so great

Gear4 Battersea in today. Has the "Mous Banana Boat Bend" & symmetrical cutouts right out of the box ?
Tight fitting case and the buttons are pretty hard to push, otherwise a decent case. Glad I only paid $29.00 for it.
Here are some pics:

Is the UAG Monarch worth $30 even ill fitting? Best Buy has the 12 version for $49.99 plus a 20% off coupon 20percentoff and I have $10 in rewards.
But you have to take the red too
