Absolutely. The brick is a fantastic case if you don't mind a bunch of greasy fingerprints on the back.
I wash my hands 10 times a day and the fingerprints drove me insane.
Also, these fingerprints do not wipe off easy on the brick case.

Real leather would of been good, that catalyst looks good $67AUD here though.
Add another $20 here.The Fake leather is not bad for $16.00
I have the Presidio2 Pro in rotation. It’s a nice case for sure. But I should mention a couple of things people didn’t like about it: it “bows” so you can lay it on its back and spin it like a top; the mute switch cutout is oversized and off centered. I actually don’t see either as an issue and prefer the oversized mute toggle cutout for easy access. My personal gripe is how hard it is to put the case on and take it off. But truly a nice protective case, with a nice soft touch finish and seems to provide excellent protection. No sagging anywhere, no seems and pinky friendly port cutout. The black looks n wry nice imo and the buttons are very nice. I have pics somewhere in this thread.
I just got my 12 Pro Max. I was not prepared for how much bigger this would feel. I got a Spigen Ultra Hybrid as my temp case and it feels huge. The size of the phone naked feels good but I can’t leave it naked with my 1 year old grabbing it all the time. And I love the color.... so now I gotta find the unicorn of a clear, protective, slim case. Does such a thing exist? I was this close to ordering a CASETiFY Ultra Impact too.

Yep, this year’s updates especially. It feels grippier and has a nice soft touch texture.
...if this is the standard polycarbonate type case then it will be slippery as hell when on the phone, no?
Agree. Just got mine a few days ago and loving it. Also, loving the deep blue. My second favorite (first is apple silicone)
No...they added a hard rubber to it. It covers top and bottom now. Also have a tight lip that goes all the way around. It’s solid.
Is the baltic blue leather case on the left? They've just got stock levels in the UK so i'm tempted
I wound up ordering a Ringke Onyx. I couldn't resist a Caudabe Sheath with better grip and buttons. I'm hoping it's more forgiving on my pinky finger because the Sheath turned out to be brutal. By the way, this thread is turning me into a liar! After proclaiming I would purchase just one case this year, I'm now up to four. Ugh.
I ordered a Caudabe Sheath this morning. Might order a Ringke Onyx also to compare. I looked at the Spigen Thin Fit but there wasn't a drop rating so I was hesitant. I remember having a Sheath with my X and not having any issues after dropping the phone several times... lol.
There also seem to be a few negative reviews on Amazon for the Spigen Thin Fit, but reading thru them they mostly seem to be complaining that it's not like the old version of the case. Think imma try it anyway!

I really like the thin fit. There are two different finishes though - one that is more matte, silicone like, and the other more shiny/metallic like. I have the navy that is more metallic and my wife has the mint that is more soft and silicone like. Both solid cases, though I prefer the more metallic style personally.
Caudabe Sheath VS Ringke Onyx
Sheath 28.5 Grams
Onyx 34.7 Grams
Sheath $29.00
Onyx $10.99
Both fantastic thin cases but IMO the Onyx blows the Sheath away.
Onyx has a perfect grip, perfect buttons and would protect the phone much better in a drop than the Sheath.
Side glass protection is very minimal with the Onyx but otherwise it's one fantastic thin case for the 12PM.
I tried to take a couple side by side pics but I'm working with really gimped equipment at the moment.
Both cases are black but look kind of grey in these pics:

After 2 months of searching for a clear case with great buttons, I've found one. The Tech21 Evo Clear. Got it earlier this afternoon and put it on right away. Fit is perfect (& quite snug). Cutouts are asymmetrical and the buttons....are just as good as the black leather Apple case I was just using! It has just the right amount of lip on the front to provide protection, but doesn't effect swiping. I like this case far better than the clear OB Symmetry. The buttons on that case were complete garbage. I think someone earlier mentioned that the Evo Clear was slippery, but I haven't found that to be the case. Feels great in the hand and passes the pinky pressure test too.
Not much talk on here about this one, great case had one for my XR, can't get one here
