Which Case Did You Get For Your New iPhone 12/Mini/Pro/Max? [Merged]

I've said this before, but my dream case is the Apple leather case they made for the iPhone 5S, except with the current generation's buttons. This is my all-time favorite case. It's the reason I buy an Apple leather case for every iPhone that I purchase.
Yeah that’s sleek. I like the drilled holes on the bottom.
So a few weeks ago someone asked for pictures of the wife’s aged silicone case. We got it with her iPhone 8 not long after launch. Finally got around to snapping some photos.
What do y’all think. Should I hang on to my Apple gift card and hope that new colors get released for the spring for silicone cases or just grab one now? With what I have on my gift card, should only be paying $10 so that’s why I’ve been hesitant to use it now just in case.
How do you feel about the current lineup of colors? Personally, I think the blue and green are fantastic but they're definitely not spring-y colors. Kumquat or the pink would carry over nicely into the brighter days.

I wish they’d figure out how to get their cases out more quickly. That’s probably the case I’ll wind up with whenever it comes out.iPhone 13 will be out before Phone Rebel gets his cases for the 12 to market

Initially got the 12 Pro. Loved the size so much I swore I wouldn't spend hundreds on cases like I did with my previous phones. Got an Apple Silicon and was happy.
Wife gets her 12 Pro Max. I am jealous. I give 12 Pro to mother in law and get a 12 Pro Max. I then go through the Sena leather, Nomad leather, Apple Leather, and then Bullstrap (got accidentally for free) and Berkley.
Ended up selling the Sena, Nomad, and Apple. Sena and Apple too thin. Nomad was too big. I've kept the Bullstrap and Berkley but ... honestly prefer the Apple Silicon because of the reduced size/weight.
Well. Maybe next phone.

Sounds like he was heavily impacted by the pandemic. I won’t be buying as it’s to late now.
I tried the Evutec for a day. It’s nice. I like it. Today I’m trying the Thin Fit. Initially it feels smoother. Really nothing can beat the Onyx for me so far. I wish it had a slightly tighter fit on the phone though.

I’m trying that Crystal or the Rebel once they’re available.

How does that work? Just buy the max outright? I wanted the max after getting the pro but they said it was outside the 15 day window.
I got the 12 Pro on my Apple Upgrade Plan (traded in my 11 Pro Max for it).
Then I just used my Apple Credit Card to do a monthly plan for the 12 Pro Max. So... while mother in law is very happy, I'm paying for a few more phones than I usually do <cough>. (I gave my 12 Pro to my mother in law).
So basically, yeah, paid for 12 Pro Max outright from Apple's perspective.
Yes, and it's about the same size as the Sheath but IMO blows the Sheath away in every aspect.Is this the onyx people are talking about? Looks more bulky than the Caudabe?
I have some pictures of the two side by side. I'm looking for them now.

I think it's deceiving because of the extra material around the camera and the corners (on the front and the back). I can confirm that the pictures @Hooterville has shared (and will share based on his recent reply) are accurate. The sides of both cases are pretty identical. The only difference is that the Onyx is ever so slightly taller than the Sheath.Is this the onyx people are talking about? Looks more bulky than the Caudabe?

Well the next iPhone is going to have the same external design as the 12, so it may not matter.
I figured they had to have drop testing done to sport the badge. Makes me wonder why Spigen doesn’t have it on their Thin Fit cases.None of these cases are actually military drop tested, it's just marketing fluff.
Sheath is average in a drop the sides will come away, happened to me with a XS max, fell about 2 ft off a cupboard onto a draw that was open, hit on the side and case come apart and chipped/cracked the screen protector, luckily i had one on.
No way it would survive a 6ft drop onto concrete imo.

That is it. FWIW, the blue one I ordered fits perfectly. The black one you can see the metal band at the top and bottom of the phone. That one I will return and try another black one to see if it’s going to fit like my blue one does. Fingers crossed.Is this the onyx people are talking about? Looks more bulky than the Caudabe?
