Welp I made it a week. The Bullstrap is in a drawer and I’m back in the Cyprus Green silicone case. As I was typing this I noticed a big gob of lint stuck to one of the corners.

No big deal.
What made you switch out of the bullstrap, something about the case itself or just wanted a change?

I had the green silicone and returned it due to the price tag. But I was able to get it 40% off through Amazon, and it should be here today. I really like it, any potential lint issues aside.

I think it'll turn out that my rotation will be the Bullstrap Sienna, Apple Silicone in Green, Sheath in Ocean Blue, and Spigen Slim Fit in Navy Blue. I have a few others that I can throw on from time-to-time if the mood strikes me, but those will probably be the main ones.
Both of my silicone cases were purchased with gift cards so they cost me $1.72 per. Easy pill to swallow. I’d still like to swap my Plum silicone case for that Navy but I haven‘t had a chance to make it to the Apple store to be told by their “security” that I need an appointment.

I really like how my wife’s silicone looks; she’s been using it for over two years and it’s got a more shiny appearance but its still got that soft silicone feel. I think this green would look amazing with that same wear.

See above. I’ve aged plenty of leather cases in the past so I’m inclined to try something new. The silicone also matches the Smart Keyboard I just got with my new Air (material, not color unfortunately). Only problem with this is I now have a light leather Bullstrap wallet that doesn’t match anything.

I’ve always liked there D30 stuff. Wasn’t there some other brand case with same or similar though?
I think humixx has the same case with correct cutouts.

That’s how my navy is now. It’s worn down and has the perfect grip to it. I can’t find a case that can beat it right now, as every time I want to swap cases I always end up putting the silicone back on my phone.

Turns out I still have my midnight blue silicone cases from my X and XS along with a leather case from one of the two. They’ve got more of a “lilac” look in this shot.

I would buy this in a second if I could get it for the 12 Pro Max. Wonder why the 12PM version is still not anywhere to be found?

Nice. I really liked the green color and plan on keeping it this time. Hopefully it will wear well over time.

Yep! Fingers crossed. I have high hopes though.

Even though I‘ve never been much of a germaphobe, it is nice to be able to disinfect my case without worrying about wrecking it.

I just picked up the symmetry + last night and I just say it’s much better than years past. The grip is nice , buttons work great and feel clicky yet are sort of flush ..lip is a little more than the Apple Leather and most importantly the bottom does not sag like past cases , I like it a lot more than I thought I would , it will hold up much better than the Apple cases for sure .
Not imo, i had last years for 11 pro, it had more grip on the back and sides plastic, buttons were better, this years is way more slippery.
Returned mine, tried a heap more in shop and they were all the same.

This stupid little thing kind of neat. I like pop socket... sometimes. This scratches that it h; can move to different case or take off entirely in seconds.

Aliexpress clear Magsafe case with chrome edges, also the Magsafe ring is in silver

It looks really nice, i like the idea of silver metallic lens protector, it sounds like i had same idea as Samsung for their Galaxy S21^^

Looks better than Apple’s offering! Probably less fragile, too.

Its really thin and worth the price (under 10 usd)
The only downside its really really hard to remove iPhone out of the case
It exists in every color, gold, blue, black, red...
It will fit to your own iPhone color pretty well
The official doesn't cover the bottom and white Magsafe ring looks horrible on dark color iPhone (blue or black)

Has anyone tried the new otterbox defender xt with MagSafe ?

It’s a great case. Exactly like the Otterbox Pursuit, if you’ve used it in the past. Buttons are responsive. Adds some bulk, but if you need heavy duty drop protection, it’s well worth it. Somewhat pricey, so try to snag it on sale.

Thanks , I think I’m sticking with the symmetry + , don’t really need much more protection than that ... always use the Apple leather and silicone though but something about the symmetry just feels different this year that I like ..

Hi Folks,

Greetings. Happy New Year!
Please give me some sound advice.

Does this case look defective to you? I've noticed it right out of the box. It's from Casetify @casetify and I want to return it immediately. But it's customized with message, but why would they customize a bent/ crooked case in the first place? Now, my 12 pro max cannot properly fit inside, and they won't return any messages. I'm really, really disappointed! @Casetify won't even process a return if they don't "approve" of it first.

But what can I do with a case that doesn't even work! This is really bad quality control. Arghhhhh...What would you do if you were me?
