Not too bad of a case. No pics of it on but crazy how the “micro grip” can be felt. Always have liked the Catalyst. I’m intrigued by mute knob; albeit admittedly nothing more than infatuation on my part lol. Slim case. Wish back was slightly translucent to let the blue shine through BUT back being matte like that doesn’t finger print it. Case overall pretty tight fitting all the way around.

Hi, hope this is the right place.

I recently ordered a 12 pro max which should arrive this week.

Looking for recommendations for cases which I can really rely on to protect my phone. I'm coming from an iphone X with the pitaka magez case pro which I overall thought was a very good case and fit what i was looking for...but as far as i can tell is not available right now for the 12 pro max. i also found however that for my brothers xs max it didnt work out quite as well

Protection is really important as I have 2 toddlers who regularly want my phone and i ultimately relent...so i need something thats going to stand up to their shenanigans (i kid you not that the other day my almost three year old had my wifes older phone - fortunately in a decent case - and was banging it on the floor like a hammer...this is what im dealing with lol)

recommendations would be great...along with a tempered glass screen protector!

There's 156 pages of great, insightful info in this thread. Take some time to read through some of the reviews and experiences with the cases. It should help you narrow down a few choices.

I’m still considering the defender with MagSafe since they made the case thinner ,but can someone confirm the wallet attaches well or is it a weak attachment? Also if u can post a pick of the wallet on the defender that would be great .
Thanks all

Has anyone tried the Flolab TAFFYCA case?
Click to expand...
No, because they ship from Hong Kong and it takes a month of Sundays to receive anything from them.
I purchased their screen protectors in the past and already had a new phone by the time they showed up.

?I still have a brand new sealed flolab screen protector for an iPhone 11 Pro. Ordered it and I finally received it about a month before I sold my iPhone 11 Pro. Took a solid 8-9 months to ship? I had completely forgotten about it. When it was delivered I was confused and then remembered I had ordered one.

No way that’s crazy. And “a month of Sundays”

I wasn’t going to upgrade my phone but we’re switching carriers so I’m taking advantage. I love my Phone Rebel but they haven’t released their iPhone 12 line yet. Considering the Casetify Ultra Impact but man $70?!

There’s also the Supcase bumper but they don’t have it for the Max yet. Sigh. On the hunt again for the perfect case. Evutec maybe??

I decided to pick up another solo loop in green since I love my blue one so much and figured I’d take a couple of my unused Apple cases with me to see what they’d say about an exchange.

It went very well. My plum silicone case became navy silicone and the saddle brown leather, black. The navy may be my new favorite over the green. The black leather is okay but I still vastly prefer the feel of the silicone.

Hey! I’m not completely clued up about USA states and codes but your Amazon screenshots show a location of some kind. It might be nothing though lol

Thanks for a lookout. Yeah just a zip code; it doesn’t matter though everyone’s address etc all over the internet with a little Google. Anonymous isn’t a thing anymore lol.

Thanks for looking out.

Otterbox Defender for iPhone 12. It’s grippy and MUCH slimmer than previous models. It still has a bit of weight, but manageable. In between liking this case and Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro. Not sure which I like the best. View attachment 1714469 View attachment 1714468 View attachment 1714468 View attachment 1714467 View attachment 1714466 View attachment 1714465 View attachment 1714464

How’s the screen protector on the Supcase compared to a regular glass screen protector?

I’ve never heard of them. I almost missed that they were hybrid leather cases because they color match the frames with the leather. I’d be curious to see how they age, particularly the tan one.
Click to expand...
I have one of their denim cases on my 6s+, while the leather aged beautifully, the leather peeled from the frame and frame itself is in bits. However, theyve changed the construction entirely for their 360 cases which is why i want to give them another chance because their cases look stunning! The only recent reviewer ive found of their case is this guy -
. Dont speak the language so im not sure what the verdict is haha
