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

I also traded in my plum for the deep navy but it was more about looks than feel for me. That deep navy is probably the best looking silicone case I've seen.

I know right, it’s gorgeous. I am wondering what the spring colors are like (hoping there are new colors)

The Spigen Thin Fit I ordered on February 12, which was shipped on February 16, still hasn't arrived.

Glad I wasn’t alone! So it’s a grippy hard plastic now for the grips/ridges?

Sorry, I meant to reply to you and never did.

Yeah, the grips are hard plastic now, but they’re covered in the same soft touch coating as the rest of the case. I really like the new design, but apparently I’m in the minority.

Changing subject slightly (sorry!) but what is the razor blade trick?

Use a razor blade to cut down the long side of any buttons on cases that aren’t “clicky”. It’ll fix almost any mushy button on a case.

Most of the time, you only need to do one side of the button, but if it’s really stubborn, you can do both sides.

Thanks for the explanation

I’m having a difficult times going to the sheath on my 12PM. Loving the Catalyst Vibe. Slim and protective!

I ordered a Tech 21 Evo Botanical case from Apple for my new 12 mini, arriving tomorrow. But I am also thinking of getting one more sophisticated/simple. Leaning towards a baltic blue leather, but also considering the white silicone. Do you all think the white silicone will look dirty over time, or should it be easy to maintain with something like a gentle dish soap or cleaning wipes?

I got the Otterbox Symmetry a few days ago. This is the non-MagSafe one. I love it! It’s super thin and I have to have a PopSocket so the slipperiness isn’t a big deal. I like the feel of the hard plastic, it’s not “oily” like glossy cases.

Love the Symmetry !

What are your main issues with the Nomad Rugged?

Wish mine had magsafe now, none really.

Don’t get the gear4 Rio snap. It’s awful. So loose and of poor quality.

You try the Battersea ? Looks like they changed the Battersea name to Denali for the S21 Ultra.

This is my latest addition to the family. I have never owned a Tech21 case for any phone that I have had and it looks and feels really,really nice. It’s got a decent quality build and not sure if the pics do it justice but it’s a smoked frosted look rather than totally clear. I personally prefer this one because I’m not keen on showing everyone I have a bright blue expensive iPhone that not long released lol

Decent tight fitting and the buttons are interchangeable with black, blue and green on offer. A nice touch. Port opening is generous and extremely so for 3rd party cases.

Given that it’s smoked frosted I’m looking forward to seeing if there is any form of yellowing.

If this or evo clear had built in magsafe, it would be my case of choice. This or the Influence would be the best on the market. I used tech 21 for over three years and they are great cases. Unfortunately, there's some give after a while, but I've dropped this guy at least twenty times without a scratch or dent. Also, the buttons are reference quality. Also, I had the same smoked black case for my pixel 2xl. There's no yellowing whatsoever on the smoked black.

I think this would be my choice over the Color Brick with how my Color Brick has aged. It doesn’t feel as nice as it did before, and the coating around the camera bump is wearing off.

I have a Dbrand Grip on the way that I’m hoping is my endgame case.

Here are some of the first I’ve got

Element Case - Special Ops : +protective, - Bulky

Carbon Fiber (Ali Express) : 22$ alternative to later case: better protection since it covers all of the rear and sides, super slim, cons: it is a pain to remove and there’s a hole in the flash and LIDAR sensor (all carbon fibers that cover the camera module suffer from this) - my favorite case so far

and 3rd one is a slim case I forgot the name from spigen (nothing wrong with this one) is cheap and protective just a bit bland but sober I guess,

waiting for a Nomad Rugged and this Herschel case to be delivered, I’ll update you!

Like that Element case.

 

[HelyCopter]

Like that Element case.I love it too, I love the brand as well, very well made product, just look at those corners!! But I have to admit I bought it because it matched my Oakley tech bag.

 

[Hooterville]

Can you post a pic of the cutouts on the bottom of that Element case?

The nomad rugged will be my last purchase. Then into the next iPhone in September.

Ooh that spigen one is the rugged armour. Had one on both my iPhone 7 and note 9. Very well designed comfortable case that gets the job done.

Just received the Caudabe Synthesis in stealth black and grey for my iPhone 12 Pro in Graphite. Definitely dig the fit and feel of these cases. Buttons are great and ya get the semi-transparent back w/o fingerprinting. I think the Grey Synthesis on the 12 Pro will be my daily driver for awhile.

How does the Synthesis compare to the Sheath in terms of size/bulk?

It is slightly thicker. Doesn't really feel like much of a real world difference on my iPhone 12 Pro. I actually like the feel of the Synthesis better than the Sheath.
