Looks pretty good to me as well. The symmetry is a solid case with awesome buttons.

Have you noticed all the case have gone up there, all at least $10AUD here from last years 11 series. Apple are even more, $79 for the silicone the leather will be $89 or more.

They’re meant to bow right? So that you get the feel of a near naked phone & to make swiping easier?
No, its not supposed to bow. If you look at feedback, its a mixed bag on the issue. I'm guessing its either a production or measurement issue. Its off by 1-2mm. Ive had Evutec before and this was never the case.

Rhinoshield Mod NX:
Pros: different color combos available for a custom look. The entire backside has a raised lip to protect the back glass and phone lies flat. Minimalist look.
cons: cheap looking and feeling plastic material. Not premium to match the iPhone 12pro. Was expecting it to be more of a grippy material. Bulkier than expected.

ESR Halo Navy Blue:
Pros: looks sharp. Minimalist appearance. Good color match. Slim bumper doesn’t add bulk.
Cons: I thought from the pictures the outside bumper part would be metal. (My bad for not reading the description close enough). Clear plastic back cover is a fingerprint magnet. Only a lip around the camera bump on the back. Also, the buttons are stiff and hard to press.

I also have a no-brand bumper coming from ebay to try out. Supposed to be an aluminum outer frame. And I want to try out the supcase bumper when they have blue back in stock.

Catalyst Influence Series:
Pros: High quality premium materials, great drop protection, excellent buttons, smoke back still lets some blue color come through with a scratch resistant material.

Cons: Still feels really wide, thin edge isn’t super grippy and is difficult for one handed holding, very tight fitting and not good for someone who changes cases often

.I came across this otterbox prefix series case ... it’s only sold on Amazon. Must say it is nice and slim but still has the otterbox feel and I know will protect the phone if I drop it. Def recommend.

I just picked up a Spigen clear case from Amazon. This is pictured next to my Pixel 4xl case.

I also bought this one on Etsy.

I’m thinking about getting the Caudabe sheath. Not sure if it’s going to meet my needs. I currently have the apple silicone case for my 12 pro. How do they compare? Does the sheath have a good grip? How much thinner is it compared to the apple case? Are the buttons easy to press on the shealth? Thanks in advance.

Have a black silicone case coming Thursday, some iCarez screen protectors (some of the best edge to edge tempered glass), and this Ringke Fusion. Have it for my 11 pro max and love it because it’s got a frosted back. No fingerprints and minimal.



I pick up my phone in store on Friday and I’m sure I’ll be leaving with more 🤣

Thanks for showing this, I had bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, but I now ordered this Ringke Fusion. it seems this is the best design, it respects the matte finish of the iPhone 12 Pro and still has the 'shiny' frame which makes it look good, but the main advantage is that it avoids fingerprints/smudges with the matte back.

Are we sure that the apple leather cases will have a closed bottom lip, unlike in previous years? I miss having the lip open for swiping up and resting my pinky on the metal band. Sounds stupid, but I can’t stand the silicon case as a result.

I think with the shape of this year’s phones, open bottom cases are really uncomfortable to hold. They really dig in to my little finger.

Why would that be any different to no case? Not finding that myself with no case yet.

Yeah I have a silicone coming, that and the lint problem I am reading is not sounding good.

Yes, the Sheath looks like everything I would want from a TPU case... Slim, grippy, fully closed, tactile buttons etc... There are some good reviews on YouTube for the iPhone 11 version and some first impressions for the 12 Version...

Only issues they mentioned on the reviews:
- Not a lot of drop protection
- Lids are only minimally raised above the screen, especially when using a glass screen protector
- the grippy texture wears over time, especially at the edges...

However, it is not available here in Germany and with shipping from UK it would be over 40€, which is a bit pricey for a TPU case. That‘s why I have bought the ESR Leather case and am liking it so far...
