I still have quite a few caudabe club points that I am holding on to, since they are supposed to be bringing out MagSafe cases in the near future

What case do you guys think offers better protection for my 12 PM? Otterbox Symmetry+, Phone Rebel Crystal, or Mous Limitless 4.0? I’m trying to figure out if I should upgrade from my Symmetry+. Also cause I’m starting to not trust those MIL-STD labels. I just want something that protects my phone from everyday life stuff. I appreciate how EverythingApplePro tests his cases (Phone Rebel) on video multiple times (like the video on his insta). The same with Mous, but I’ve heard of so much customer dissatisfaction (maybe because Mous is such a popular brand, so more people have their cases obviously).

Good point on the Poetic that it doesn’t come a holster. Both are great cases!

Makes all the difference when using on car holidays. The port covers are great on beaches and the holster add extra protection of phone is in a beach bag for example.

I acquired my iPhone 12 Pro Max 2 weeks ago and together I acquired the Ultra Hybrid case from Spigen. I always used Apple's silicone case, but it started to fade and was a magnet of hair and pocket powders. My doubt is: Apple's case has a microfiber protection inside it and Spigen's case doesn't. I'm afraid to scratch the sides of the device or even the rear glass. I clean my device once a week and wash the case with soap and water. Has anyone ever had experience of this type of case scratching the device? Mainly because it is very difficult to remove it.

Ps.: The case is very beautiful!

I’ve had that case in previous gen iPhones and never had a scratch. Wife has it on her 12Pro and no scratch’s. I clean it once a week

It’s a bit oversized but fine. I prefer the sheath overall and will be sending the mous back. It’s a good case though. Just not for me.
Yah, I feel like I'm still interested in the limitless 4.0. Does anyone know if I could apply a skin over the gaps and unnecessary cutouts on the case? Still looking at my options.

Phone Rebel Case: Quality built case with nice aramid fiber backing. The gray interior backing is of a softer tpu and a safe cushion for the back of your phone. The buttons have slits on both sides but are on point and work fantastic.
The Pro Max does lay nice and flat on it's back while inside of the rebel case.
The sides are smooth, slick and slippery. :( There is a gap at the top of the screen that lets the shiny top edge of the phone show through and I don't like that.:mad: The bottom is also a bit saggy. Overall I'm not that thrilled with this case but your mileage may vary. Here are a couple of low quality pics:

Is that a dust plug for the lightening port?

I have this coming. Looks decent.

Yes, let me know how this is. It looks a bit like tech21 evo without the unnecessary x marks. Was always hoping tech21 would make the evo clear with magsafe. I would buy that in a second. I've never used Gear4, but it looks good.

I love the look and idea of a leather case but just know that won’t work for me. I love to wipe my cases everyday with alcohol wipes to sanitize.

Nice! Link please? Can it damage the port?
Been using these for years and they have never damaged any of my ports. They are soft silicone.

Here's a link to the rounded ones which I like better than the newer squared off ones.
I always get the ones by Harbor Creek and shipped by Amazon.

Bought 'em! Thank you. Are they easy to remove? How do you remove them?

I’m not quite on your level, but I know that feel, bro.

Not pictured...the navy Sheath that’s on my phone, the royal blue Bellroy that’s in another drawer, and the gray Sheath that’s arriving today.

For the record, I now own 5 colors in the Sheath. Everything but the green.

Have about 4-5 of those grunting pigs over here myself :oops:

Sheath for the S21 Ultra now available.
