No sagging, buttons good. The lip tapers on each side for swiping. Grip is good not as sticky as the OB Aneu iv'e been using.
Got a tip for us?

There are some Magsafe clear cases from Amazon that would match with iPhone 12/Pro colors
The side and magnetic ring of same same color
E.g iPhone 12 Black or Pro Graphite would match very well with black frames + black ring
Blue/Silver/Gold etc...

Agree completely. I requested a refund and they told me to keep the case. Very quick and responsive customer service. Now I’m wondering what the clear (hard) case would be like but haven’t decided if I want to order it or not.
So surprisingly enough, the Aneu came today on a Sunday.
Just put it on my phone a little while ago. I have the blue one. Can't recall the exact color name. Grip on the sides is good. Buttons are ok but could be better. They are far better than the Symmetry I had and returned to Target. All around seems like a decent case. The only sag I feel is at the bottom directly above the lightning port. All the way around the rest of the case it seems good.I will have to rock it for a few days but so far no major show stoppers. Will try to get some pics taken and uploaded tomorrow for everyone to see.

Did it have the Mous Banana Boat Bend? What color are your buttons?
Ever so slightly if at all to be honest. Nothing like the Mous or dBrand grip that I have used in the past. Button color is kind of a yellowsh/green? Hard to say.
This is the one that I got here.
Discontinued Products | OtterBox
Apologies, but it appears the product you are looking for is discontinued! Take a look at our many products to provide the ultimate device protection!
This is good to know. I may pick one up for my Pixel 5 as I still have not found a decent case for it. The Otterbox choices suck. UAG does not seem to make one. The Speck variants are a weird rubber type. I guess case makers do not care about the device at all lol.
I got an inexpensive clear case for my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Meanwhile I'm waiting for my Casetify customized case to arrive. Some reviewers say, it takes a month to arrive. But at least I have something in the mean time.

Got my Native Union leather case for the iPhone 12 mini today. Really happy with it. It’s incredibly thin and adds hardly any weight or extra width/depth to the phone, but has just enough protection for my needs. The lip around the edge is about 0.5mm high and is nicely rounded, so I don’t experience any issue swiping across the edges of the screen.
The fit is perfect, snaps on and doesn’t feel loose or too tight to take off again
I know some people don’t like an ‘open bottom’ but I prefer it as I find it easier to attach charging cables and it feels nicer to hold. The advantage of the iPhone mini is the there’s less ‘bottom’ actually exposed.
The buttons are inlayed, rather than separate plastic or metal, which looks sleeker, although you get slightly less tactile feedback. At present the power and down volume buttons click perfectly, whereas the up volume requires a slightly harder press, but my experience with these types of buttons in the past is that after a few weeks they loosen up and click perfectly.
The cutout for the mute button is a decent size, making it easy to access (a constant frustration with other leather cases on previous phones).
On the back the cutout for the camera looks great, with no exaggerated plastic bezel. Because the case is so thin, when placed on its back there is about a 0.2mm clearance between the case and camera lens. So the lens would never come into contact if placed on a smooth surface, but some might not find it enough protection (I plan to add thin glass lens protectors anyway)
The leather itself looks amazing, and whilst it feels smooth and a bit slippery at first, this will quickly change as the natural oils from the skin will make it extra grippy. I’ll have to see how well it holds up to knocks abs scratches, and how it ages over time, but for first impressions I couldn’t be happier (particularly as I saved £20 over the Apple one!)

I'm done hunting around for cases.
After all the faffing around, saying I'm coming away from Apple's leather cases, and leather cases in general. I am back to an Apple leather case, in black; classic look.
I really struggle to be happy with how a case fits and feels unless it's one of Apple's.

Ha, this was my sentiment when I went back and got another black Apple leather case. Not exactly loving it but I’m somewhere between ‘meh’ and ‘it’s alright’. Seeing the front bezels makes it seem like a very busy transition from screen to case, and if that were a little smoother I’d be happier with it. And having felt a couple of genuine leather products recently, I have to say apple’s offering feels skimpier by comparison. Makes me less worried about treating it like the case it is, but also less thrilled to cough up $60.
Got the spigen mag armour. Nice case. No real complaints. You can just make out the magnet ring on the back of the case but no real issue.
Picked up this $12.94 gem from the local Walmart. Pass on this bar of soap. Really not a bad case... if it wasn’t so slick lol. Meh
their newer "duo" is better imo. The soft touch finish is slightly better than Speck & Nimbus9 imo

One of my favorite cases. Ringke almost never misses with their cases and this year’s Onyx is another hit.
After a month, I'm still really happy with my UAG Civilian. It's protective (with extra corner corner protection and a substantial front lip) but not bulky, lays flat (no camera lip), has clicky buttons and is grippy without being sticky. I know some don't like the orange accents on the black but the "silver" is a dark grey (hard to photograph accurately) and they also have a dark blue and a dark green. I'd never looked at UAG before but the OtterBox offerings were either not protective enough or (still) unavailable.
I wish they did them in lighter colours but I’m being picky. There’s nothing about this case I dislike.
I’m still in my MagSafe symmetry. They firmed up the tpu and in this one the buttons are good.
If we could get rid of the branding in the back, I’d be all good.
You?
I'm liking the Aneu but the Symmerty is a fantastic case if only it was easier to get on and off.
The Aneu has no branding on the back but that soft port rubber is bothersome.
For beating around the house I favor the Sheath case.
The addiction in this thread’s disturbing. How can anyone need more than one case?...Are you people even going to use all those cases or is this just an Instagram-for-iphone cases thing? ?
Anyway, for something different, I’ve spotted a minimalist, low-cost case on eBay...Very practical for those just wanting scratch protection on the back/corners, with near naked grip on sides & front/rear lay on table design...
