Just received the Spigen Thin Fit in metal slate color and the baltic blue leather case for my 12 PM. Hard to choose which color I like better.

Got my Rebel. I like it. It's thick! The sides are a little slick for my liking, but it's not the worst. I don't have that gap at the top, so I am guessing it might be a defective case. The magnets are the strongest of any case I have used so far, so a test this weekend driving through NY will put them to the test. Between this, the Pitaka and the dbrand - I wish I could make a damn frankencase!

Anyone have any problems with floppy ports on the Spigen Thin Fit? Mine are fine now, but seem like down the road they could get loose.

What’s the verdict on the apple clear case? Getting bored with the leather.
The powersupport Air Jacket is amazing and a perfect fit but doesn’t work with MagSafe.

I've heard the pro of the clear case it is very, very clear, one of the most glass-like on the market. But the con is that it's slippery.

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.

Did you have to use a crowbar to get it in? If not, wait until you try to take it off lol.

A bit dramatic. I get Symmetry cases for the XRs and 11s I issue at work and yeah, it’s a little tough going on but a thumb on the cameras while peeling back the corner gets it off with little effort.

Try this and let us know..

Mine just came in today. I like it so far. Reminds me of the Caudabe Lucid Clear. If fingerprints bother you then this case is not for you. Strong magnets too. I got the blue ring to match my Max.

This little guy was delivered today. Fits pretty good and I’m surprised at the bit of raised lip this one has. My other Apple saddle brown cases for the 12 sucked. I’ll see how long I’ll use this one. I’m already really missing my Nomad. The mini feels so fragile in the Apple case.

Interesting. I used the mini shooting video while snowboarding (and crashing) with no case and thought it felt very sturdy. Set outside hot tubs on brick/pavement with no worries and even took some underwater video. The days of the fragile iPhone, I think, are long gone.

Yep. I’ve had my previous iPhones fly off my car, get thrown while wrestling a criminal down to the ground, dropped and kicked at the shooting range, flown out of my duty belt and having to retrace my steps finding it in grass, woods and debris. They are sturdy, I still try not to take chances with the mini though. This phone feels like a feather compared to the 12 and my previous 11 pro. So far, I’ve been able to keep the mini on my vest in its own pocket nice and secure. ?

Edit: And on that note, I’m back in the Nomad.

Do the buttons still suck?

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.

It’s reassuring it’s unlikely to yellow. This is one of the nicer cases to hold so I’ll be more inclined to use it more frequently.

It says MagSafe compatible but I’m going to guess it means charging is possible only.

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.

I have heard good things of the DB grip. Update us on how it looks and feels!

That's good to hear. I have the PM, but am getting a mini delivered today. I'm hoping I will be as fond of that little phone as you are with yours.
