Which Case Did You Get For Your New iPhone 12/Mini/Pro/Max? [Merged]

[NativeTxn]

Sigh. Fedex F'd my UAG order. Won't see delivery until tomorrow.

Eh, I still haven't gotten a shipping notification for my UAG order that I placed January 1st and it said it'd be here tomorrow (1/6).

I sent them a text and they said "We have now forwarded this to a team member for further assistance with your order. Rest assured that we will respond as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience."

Finally got my Apple Silicone cases today! They arrived a day early, Apple said it would deliver on Wednesday but arrived today — Which I was surprised about considering that a lot of mail carriers were still busy with some holiday deliveries. I'm really liking these cases. These are my first Apple Silicone cases. I bought the plum and citrus pink cases. I'm really enjoying the colors and I'm debating on which one I should keep on my phone! My favorite color is purple, but I'm seriously considering keeping the citrus pink case on my phone for awhile. They look super good with my iPhone 12 Pro graphite.

Citrus is so nice! I have the navy blue now and wanting to grab another color but wasn’t sure which one. Think it may be Citrus now

I recommend it! the lighting in the picture with the citrus case made it look a little orange, but it is such a nice color. I was surprised how much I liked citrus. I'm not a pink person at all — more like a purple/lavender person but I really like the color. I currently have the Plum case on my phone right now but I'm seriously considering about putting the Citrus on.

I was thinking of trading in my Plum silicone for a Navy Blue. Any chance you could share some photos of it?

Sure! Sorry the lighting/quality is bad. Took this with an iPhone 7.

Randomly back in the Cyrill Color Brick today. Can’t get over how perfect the buttons are and how great the case feels. Used some rubbing alcohol and got rid of most of my grimy fingerprints (for a day) lol.

That is one of the absolute best and cheapest cases out there. I still want to try the leather back version of this case.
Think I'll break mine later tonight also

Loaded firearms near kids, not a good idea.

Your unedited reply yesterday reminded me of Jack Teller from SOA.

Phew, I’m glad you wrote this. I received my Cyrill Color Brick a few days ago, but besides taking it out of the packaging to compare sizes and briefly put it on my phone for a second or two, I haven’t touched it because I noticed everyone on here that has the case moved onto other cases, so I thought you guys all decided the fingerprint/smudges were too much to handle; I figured maybe you all knew something I didn’t.
Does the rubbing alcohol affect the soft finish of the case?

It’s in my top 5 favorite cases ever. The fingerprinting is the only negative about this case that I can see from my usage.

So far, rubbing alcohol has not changed the soft finish.

Got a shipping notice from UAG, but now it’s not supposed to get here until 1/7 when it said 1/6 when I bought it. No biggie - just a little annoying.

I’m currently using a spigen liquid crystal on the mini and received an email that my nomad shipped. I found it weird that nomad is shipping directly from HK now. All of my previous nomad cases shipped from San Diego. That’s strange.

What happened to the Rebel case guy? He was suppose to come out with a Gen 2 case with closed sides. Did this take a dump?

Good question. His social media channels have been silent since about mid-November.

I think so. He made mention of the gen 2 case in a few of his YouTube videos, but he was waiting on either molds for the 12 or materials. I’m guessing he can’t get what he needs to manufacture the cases.

He said the clear version is coming first, and estimated February for the carbon fiber with magsafe. I’m holding out for that one, it looks good if they can actually deliver in a timely manner.

OtterBox pop. Target exclusive color.

Noticed the Burkley Barlow is really starting to develop some character. The leather was drier and velvety when new, with an antique aesthetic. It looks like it ages into a smooth rich dark brown, like a dark coffee bean. I’m also liking the emerging grain pattern on the back. I’m digging this case for sure.

(edit - deleted dup image, spl)

After rocking the spigen mag armor for 2 days, I can whole heartedly say I will be returning it. MagSafe is way weaker than the apple leather case, and the magsafe ring was obvious before i even slapped it on the phone for the first time. Another downside in my opinion is the rounded edges don’t look flattering to me anymore after using the flat edged apple leather case. If you don’t mind the round corners, and actually prefer them, and don’t use the Apple leather wallet and only the MagSafe charging then I’d say go for it! As for me the negatives out weight the positive.

Cost saving?

In case anyone is thinking about picking up the Cyrill Color Brick with MagSafe that was just released, I've had a negative experience with it. I've been using the case for about 3 days on my 12 Mini and when I took it out today for the first time, the magnet detached from the case and came off with my phone. The glue they use just doesn't seem to be strong enough.

Too bad, I expected it would be a nice case. I actually ordered and canceled this before it shipped. They’ll probably exchange it for you.

I already messaged them and I think they'll send me a new one too. I'm really really hoping that this one is just a dud because I actually really like this case.

Here is the defender XT next to the symmetry +

Definitely a hard case to take on and off, it is identical to the Pursuit. It is just rebranded with the defender name.

Back is quite slick, but the sides are more reminiscent of the Aneu. Interestingly, this is supposedly their most durable case, as it is 5x the military drop test. Definitely not putting that to the test. lol

Thanks for your review. I was hoping the back would be rubbery and grippy like the regular Defender

Nope- just the sides. Its an ok case, but I am not sure its a keeper, even at $49
