I ordered mine on Sunday evening off a seller on eBay, paid extra for 1st class post and got it today.
I still haven't gotten a shipment notification but just got tracking for my phone saying it would be here tomorrow :eek: Hopefully it ships soon. Luckily I had ordered a inexpensive clear case as a backup, that arrived yesterday.

I tried the Gear4 Battersea. The case and grip were nice but the buttons were terrible. Hard to push with no feedback at all.

The Speck Presidio 2 and Otterbox Symmetry are good enough for now.

Presidio2 has the best buttons of any case I have tried. The grip is not as good as previous years and it does have some finger printing. The grip is good enough though and the protection and buttons make it a very nice case. Fit is also extremely nice.

The Symmetry has about the same grip as the Presidio 2 but not as good buttons. The buttons still work pretty well, just not as good as the Iphone 11 series. No fingerprinting on the back and a nice fit.

Price on both are too high but if you have a retailer that has sales, they can be worth it. ATT offers 30% off when you buy 3 accessories online or buy 2 get 1 free in store. The online offer can use just about any accessory as the 3rd.
Did you get the Presideo pro or grip?

Just saw this in an off brand Verizon store. Seems like a solid case. Might have to give it a shot.
Incipio are one of the top brands, been around for years and used to be available in apple stores.

Some more pictures of the ESR leather case... This time actually black.

Feel is good. A bit ... slippery? Almost paperlikeI‘d say. Feels like it is a rather slim layer of leather. But since it‘s actually genuine leather, I believe it will age well and grip and feel will get better over time...

I have a glass screen protector installed, and the sides are still raised above the screen...

By the way, it is exactly 25 grams. The generic TPU clear case I‘ve got earlier was 21 grams. So the leather one is not much heavier, but looks and feels more premium.

I‘ve paid 24€ on Amazon Germany.

Catalyst has some new cases out now and they look really good. I didn’t like the clear back that scratched and the small buttons on the original case. The case was always highly rated though. The new cases have dropped the clear back to translucent on one version and solid on the other. Grip looks like it should be good with both cases and the buttons were always very nice.

review I found


Newest model


I have one coming from Amazon tomorrow and will see if it passes.

Went with Apple Silicon MagSafe case in cyprus green. It’s absolutely amazing with my iPhone 12 Pro in graphite! First time going with an Apple case for my iPhone and I really love the texture. Quality is top notch.

Thanks for the great pics! I'm excited to get mine. Did you order the ESR glass as well? I hope the sides aren't too raised for me, I'm not a fan of bumping against the lip when swiping.

Care to share some photos? I'm really liking the colors on the silicone cases this year and green/graphite sounds like an awesome combo.

With the ESR full screen protector and ESR leather case, I barely notice the lip. I think you'll like it

Thanks for noticing... :D

I didn't get the ESR-Glass, but from a company named UTECTION. However, I used to get loads of ESR glasses for my iPhone X (they regularly shattered, because the case on my iPhone X did not have any lids around the display at all). For me, the UTECTION screen-protetors seem identical to the ESR ones.

But I have to say: The lid of the leather case is noticeably more... well, more noticeable than the lid of the clear TPU case I had before... You can see it in the third picture. You definitely will notice it when swiping up from the bottom, but since there are no sharp edges and the case is rather smooth, it is not annoying at all...

Just picked this up in black. Actually got it for 29.99. Which is 10 less than Amazon. Really nice fitting case, with really solid grip
