MagSafe is epic. Even with limited accessories, I love it. Won’t buy a case without MagSafe. Hell I thought companies would be bringing MagSafe to the 11 series as well.
I’m liking it more and more. What are you using so far? I have the wallet and leather case which is an amazing combo and have an ESR car mount on the way.

Wallet, case, and Duo
Blissful convenience.
everything really does “snap”
I quite enjoy the wallet on the bare phone, much easier to remove.
i stopped using the MagSafe puck because the cable is too short.

I hate how much lint build-up there is around the camera lens on the 12 Pro Max so I’d like to find some sort of protector around it, either glass or film.
The only caveat is that I don’t want anything that covers the camera lens and that’s all I can find on Amazon.
Anyone have any ideas?

Yea, and if it's just a hair off one way or the other, one of the sides will overlap the ridge and look like crap.
Plus once it's stuck down it's done. Peeling it off stretches it all out of shape. The skins for the grip are a one shot deal.
I ruined 3 skins @9.95 each trying to get one on perfect. :(

I guess I’ll be getting the Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 2 instead whenever it decides to be available.

I wound up ordering a Pitaka Air case. I have purchased a Pitaka for every iPhone I've owned, but I decided to skip it this year because I thought the combination of the phone's weight and the sharp bottom of the case would basically cut my pinky finger off. However, after looking at how this year's bottom wraps around the edge and reading @Radeon962's review, I'm going to give it a chance.

I'm legitimately confused.

Whats the difference between the Otterbox Defender XT and the Otterbox Defender XT Pro???

Both have mag-safe and I'm not seeing a difference between them, but they're the same price on the Otterbox website.

Have the Lucid graphite, but it is a reg 12, not the mini.
How is it so far? I’ve been thinking of picking up one for my mini as I like going caseless, but wouldn’t mind a nice hard polycarbonate super thin shell. Do you have any pics of it on the phone?

Pics and first impressions (Otterbox Defender Pro XT for iPhone 12/Pro)

Feel free to ask any questions about the case.

1. This is exactly like the Otterbox Pursuit case
2. Fit is literally perfect
3. Button response is fantastic
4. There are no mesh screens over the mic/speaker ports.
5. Installation is quick and easy.
6. Works great with my Spigen EZ-Fit Glass Screen Protector
7. It's grippy, but doesn't collect lint or pull out pockets
8. I've been using very slim cases for the past year. Yes this adds some bulk, but doesn't seem too big.

is it possible to cut off that battery port cover? I don't know how that will hold up and is it just rubber covering the port so I can just slice through or is it hard plastic?

From previous pro and no-pro model cases; the pro models have the antibacterial coating as well as ridges for added grip on the back side of the case. Other than that, that’s about it.

That’s terrible. I bought a leather wallet and case from Mous that I was not pleased with and they refunded my purchase without any questions asked. I was impressed by their speedy response and bought their Clarity case for my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Casetify cases are expensive. You would expect that their customer service would be responsive.

How are you liking the Clarity on your iPhone 12 Pro Max?

Good for the most part.

pros: it’s thin, shows off phone, exposed buttons so they click as they should, precise fit, top lip is just the right height for me (doesn’t interfere with swiping, still protects screen), same grip as back glass.
cons: button cut outs leave a top edge that feels kinda weird, a corner will occasionally pop out in pocket, bottom corner slits catch on fabric, same fingerprints as back glass.

Overall it is good. It is my only case (my wife has the Synthesis on her mini, which is an excellent case, but thicker). I have been keeping an eye out for something else to try but nothing has jumped out to me yet.

When I put my phone in the Presidio2 Pro the case had a bow in the back of it that didn't allow it to lie flat on a flat surface... it kind of wobbled and you could spin it.
So I finally connected with Speck to have them ship me a replacement for the spinner Presidio2 Pro they sent me in November. This is the replacement I received...
