This is probably the first true praise for MagSafe I’ve seen. Glad to hear someone is finally enjoying it. My wallet arrives tomorrow so this is refreshing after all the criticism.
I like it too. Pairing the baltic blue leather with kumquat silicone, white silicone, or cal pop leather and my silver 12 pro. Love it.

Evutec Carbon. Hard to photograph so I guess it’s not too bad of an issue. I turned on the flash so you could see it reflect.

Is that the 12/12 pro? Do you mind taking another picture by stepping back a little bit? The edges showing is my biggest issue with the case. It is my absolute favorite case each year but I feel like they botched it this year.

I got the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Style, Cyrill Leather Brick, and Cyrill Color Brick in the mail last night! Trying all cases on my first impressions for each.

Cyrill Color Brick - LOVE the feel of this case. The matte back makes it super grippy. So far my favourite out of the 3.

Cyrill Leather Brick - Identical to the Color Brick except I don't feel that it's as grippy because of the smooth faux leather back.

Suppose Unicorn Beetle Style - Nice, but doesn't feel as sturdy as the Cyrill cases. Not a big fan of the completely clear back.

Sounds like some good combos, white silicone with the blue wallet in particular.
Here they are. I wish the orange and blue combo was a bit brighter. I’m a Gator, not an Auburn Tiger. ?

Absolutely! I agree. It’s tough to photograph but I definitely notice it. If you have any other tips on how I can get a better pic let me know. I think the non flash photos captured it best but I put both here.

Yup, I see it, thanks for taking a bunch of angles. I bought the first batch of cases and it was the same. Sad to see it’s still not fixed. Seems to be a iPhone 12/pro issue only with the max and mini fitting correctly. I even emailed them and told them about it but they just said “return the case”. Hope they get it sorted out soon.

My pictures are of a Max. But I also got a sample of the fabric 12/Pro case for my wife and it’s much worse. I sent pics from both phones to [mention]Min Wang [/mention] and she said that there were adjustments made to the case because the iPhone 11 version had several reports of the fit being too tight. They may make adjustments if they continue getting reports.

Oh man that's unfortunate. I am going to email them next month and see if they made any changes to the case. It's still my all-time favorite.

Bought another SlipperySuit from RhinoShield :oops: Tight fitting case with fantastic buttons and I love the fact that you can swap the buttons for many different colors. Quality built case and fits the phone perfect with no sag anywhere. Case is as slippery as a wet bar of soap. You would think that after all these years they would have added a little texture to the sides for better grip and fixed the cutouts on the bottom :rolleyes: No fingerprint problems with the fake carbon fiber :)
Couple of quick pics:

You would think one of these case makers would ASK US what we would like in a case. I believe most of us have very similar wants in a protective case...

  • The grip of a Dbrand Grip case (my preference of all the cases right now)
  • The front bezel and camera protection of the UAG Monarch (lay flat back)
  • The button response of the RhinoSheild (or insert another great case - I like the Catalyst mute knob)
  • Matte back to hide fingerprints
  • Clean asymmetrical cutouts that arent sharp
  • The drop protection of the Battersea
  • The size/weight of a Catalyst Influence
Colors really shouldn't be too much of an issue... Am I missing anything that we all seem to be looking for? Other than a clear case, these "should" be easy for a case maker to do...
