Did you ever report back about the Otterbox Defender XT?

It’s a great case. Exactly like the pursuit. I used it for a week. Even though it isn’t that bulky, I ended up missing my thinner cases. So I dropped back down to a rotation of the sheath, Apple leather, and now in my Nomad Rugged Rustic Brown case.

My wife has had the XR folio brown for 1 and 1/2 years, ages so nice.

Agreed, it ages beautifully. I’ve had this one in my regular rotation since I received my iPhone 12 Pro on launch day and it still has that nice leather smell. Great grip as well. And now the buttons are responsive!

So it would be worth getting if it ever goes on sale then I guess?

Yes. Sooner or later Amazon should list it again. I find that Amazon will occasionally have prices way lower than what OB lists them for on their own website.

I will likely wait for that time. I refuse to pay 70 bucks for it lol.

That one looks a lot more like real leather than the SB one from the mothership.

I'm thinking about picking up the Apple Silicone Plum or the Pink Citrus for my graphite iPhone 12 Pro. I had to talk to a specialist first about whether or not the silicone cases would transfer the magsafe imprint onto the phone while using the magsafe chargers. According to them, it shouldn't transfer the magsafe imprint when having the case on and using the magsafe chargers. Apple specialist said that the imprint will probably happen on the case (which I don't care about) but the imprint shouldn't transfer to the phone itself. I currently have the Otterbox Figura case, but I'm not sure I'm liking this case.
