Yes, its a great case and it won't yellow. Only the clear version from the past, which it seems they replaced with the evo clear. Magsafe works decently, but its not magsafe built-in.
I bought this one on AliExpress. Very impressed with the feel of it. The back feels like a soft cloth/suede. The one drawback is that the front lip is small. So I ended up putting on a screen protector. This makes case number 4 that I have. I have another case coming in the mail. I enjoy switching out the case based on my mood. I do prefer this one over the Clear Caseology.
Technically Tee put a video showing the MagSafe strength on the new Nomad. It looks pretty good. He does mention that the Apple magnets are still stronger feeling over the Nomad.
I’ve been in my Pitaka MagEZ Case Pro 2 iPhone 12 Pro Max for about 16 days now and haven’t taken it of yet. Only a few times just to clean under it, one of my many pet pevs. I’ve used the Apple Wallet with it and like the strong MagSafe magnets. Light fingerprints are sometimes there but overall very little, more on the left side where my index and middle finger hold it. It’s easily wipe away with a microfiber cloth. I have 15 other cases and keep a list of them in my notes so I can remember which ones I have but so far I’m surprising still using this case so overall I’m very happy with it. I’m looking at a few other cases but for now I’m good. I’m sure I will change it out soon but will definitely come back to this case.
Thanks for the share! Yeah the magnet is strong on the Nomad, probably the strongest outside of Apple but I still think that Apple has a stronger magnet. I think im going to go out and pick up the Apple leather case again and compare it to the Nomad.
I'm still waiting for movement on mine but as soon as it gets here (tracking says Monday; we shall see) I'll share my findings.
The Dbrand Grip is a fantastic case but the skin on the back is hard to get on perfect.
Here is what mine looks like:
Can you also check the magnets on the Pitaka MagEZ Pro2. I use my Apple wallet on it and it didn’t budge at all.
I have tried a few different MagSafe cases and so far, the Rebel has the strongest magnets. The Pitaka EZMag 2 is a close second. Rebel put stronger magnets in and you can feel it on the car mount!
I’ll try it if they sell it in Australia.Try this and let us know..

The buttons on both of mine are very good. But you'll notice I said both of mine.
The first one they sent me bulged around the power button. Basically, it showed the frame right next to the button and nowhere else. So I contacted them and was informed they'd figured out some of their Grip cases has a defective mould where it left too much material on the inside of the button that caused the bulge.
For people affected by that, they were reworking the cases and sending free replacements. So, I had to wait a few weeks, but eventually the replacement showed up. I was excited.
The moment I put it on the 12 Pro Max, guess what? They'd fixed the power button, but this one now bulged around the volume buttons! Same exact issue, only on the other side.
At that point, I threw both of them in my storage drawer and wrote them off. I haven't even bothered to contact them again.
Maybe I'll contact them again and see if the 3rd time's a charm.
I definitely botched the skin install. Looked like there Was a crumb underneath it near the bottom right edge. Peeled it up to get it, and it didn’t go back down flat. I honestly didn’t want a skin anyway, I would’ve just gotten the case had Dbrand let me.
The case itself is fantastic. Great attention to detail, and mega grippy even with my insanely dry hands.

My Spigen Thin Fit finally arrived. I used it for a day and a half. I think a majority of the people here would love this case.
- The size is literally between an Apple leather case and a Caudabe Sheath (in terms of height and width).
- Out of the cases that I have, it's the most rigid and it feels incredibly solid. I'm not sure if it has any drop rating, but the case gives the impression that it'll protect the phone through most anything.
- It hugs the phone really tight. Out of the cases that I have, it's the only one that has a snap when I put the phone in.
- The grip is amazing. I have the black and the back feels rubbery like a Pitaka or Evutec case, and the material extends almost halfway down all four sides. (Attracts lint, dust, and fingerprints that can be easily wiped off.) The only negative, besides the lint/dust/fingerprints, is that the rubbery material feels like one of those materials that can get permanently scratched and marked easily.
- There are cutouts around each of the buttons that are bigger than I thought they'd be. For those worried about dust getting in, I'd run away from this case. (Buttons are very tactile for this reason, though.)
- The cutout for the mute toggle switch is very, very generous.
- From pictures I've seen, it looked like the logo on the back of the case would be obnoxious, but it's really not bad at all. It actually looks subtle in person.
- Whether it passes the pinky test is a yes and no. While it passes my traditional pinky test (it doesn't cut into my pinky, leaving an impression, and turning the tip purple), the case does add weight to the phone, so I feel the extra weight on my pinky. So, instead of causing pain, it just causes a slight discomfort.
While I won't be using it, I definitely recommend this case. It appears that the Apple leather case has won this year for me.
Also, I was going to upload pictures, but I think it's safe to say that I take pretty bad pictures. All of my cases just wind up looking like generic, indistinguishable, black rectangles.

The buttons are good, not SlipperySuit good, but good.
Yes, the skins are very hard to get on the grip case perfect. If you stick it down a hair off in any direction it will be all jacked up on the opposite side. If you try and peel it up it stretches all out of shape and is ready for the garbage.
I burned through 3 skins at $9.95 each and screwed them all up
It did flatten enough to where I’m fine with it, but I probably won’t be buying another skin whenever I take this one off. The camera skin was just about impossible to installYes, the skins are very hard to get on the grip case perfect.
