Does anyone here have a Otterbox Defender on a 12 Pro Max? Do you need a crowbar to get the phone into and out of the case? How are the buttons? Thanks.

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
I'm a fan of the Monarch so I will say it's worth it. The rubber at the bottom is a little soft but mine has not sagged and I've actually used the case for almost 2 weeks. Best Buy you can always make an easy return or exchange in store.
The black is also a bit of a fingerprint/smudge magnet on the back.

Had it but got rid of it before even using it. You don't need a crowbar with the Defender but it takes some time to get the phone in and out. Check some YouTube videos.

Did you ever get the Pelican TANK ?

I replied to you but I think it didn’t send for some reason. As for the case I’m not really impressed, the hinges on the side and the bottom are very hard to open and it does have a cheap plastic feeling although G 10 is some form of plastic for the military. Overall I’m Probably going to keep it when I need a heavier case as I’m too lazy to return it.

That's cool. I'm not the biggest fan of it either.
Now, if the G10 was neon orange like the scales on my two Manix knives, I would be in love. :p

Is there any Otterbox worth getting? Only asking because of the 25% off sale. Still need a sturdy case.

Maybe try a Commuter? Been a while since I've had one. I'm tempted to try the Aneu while it's on sale.

The Aneu reminds me of a bumper car with all that thick rubber.

Love those knifes.

I heard some negative stuff about the Commuter, so meh. Not sure what to pull the trigger on.

No. I just ordered one tonight as it's the last day of the sale.

Looking like more of that slow @ss FedEX Surepost or what ever it's called shipping. :mad:

Ok pulled the trigger on the Blue Heeler Aneu.

Hope it is a decent enough case. I normally always just get black but decided to do something different for once.

This one.

And I’m already looking for another case.


Trouble being I’m not sure what I’m looking for. I keep seeing cases that have one or two things I’m not overly fond of.

I wish Ringke did the onyx in a lighter blue. The ringke air s was lovely. Thin. Nice colour. Great fit but it started peeling in less than two weeks.

Love the look of the Apple silicone case in blue but sorry there’s not a hope in hell I’m paying £49 a TPU case.

Spigen thin fit looks good but not available in blue in the UK yet. I have the liquid air case which is nice but a bit thick.

I don’t know why it’s so hard to find a case I like ?‍♀️
