Dropping by this thread to say I’m still using the grey Caudabe Synthesis on my graphite iPhone 12 Pro and haven’t even had the urge to switch it out. Also haven’t purchased any other cases since I first put this case on my phone
Had a look for this but it doesn't look like they do one for the max?

Feedback on the ESR Metro leather case. Last night my phone fell two stories and landed on concrete. It survived without a scratch. The case is a little mangled in a few areas but overall not so bad. I'm sure it landed just right as the glass screen protector isn't even scratched. 😓

Picked up a hardly used Apple MagSafe Clear Case off eBay for £12.

Been debating getting one for so long with the thought of probably not liking it because of finger prints.... at least I can come to that decision without dropping £50 on it 😄

My Totallee (Soft) case arrived. Here are some thoughts:

- It's SO SLIPPERY. However, the flat edges saves it from feeling like a bar of soap. Also, the more it's used, the more it becomes less slippery because of the smudges from your hands.
- The buttons are so much better than the version I had for the XS Max. The version of the XS Max were stiff, but the buttons on version of the 12 Pro Max are similar to the buttons on the Caudabe Sheath.
- The case passes all of my pinky tests. I might argue that it feels better on the pinky than the Apple leather case.

Someone on here took some good pictures of the case, so I'll share theirs:

Just got this ESR clear case delivered and I have to admit the magnet is by far stronger than my Apple leather case. Buttons feel great as well only 9.99$ on Amazon.

Any chance you could post a couple of photos of it on the phone? I can’t tell if I like the frame of the camera module from the stock photos.

Got my dbrand grip with matte black skin. Wow- amazing case.

Great fit, everything is top notch. Really impressed

So, no bulges by the volume or power buttons that show the frame?

The first one I bought had a bulge by the power button. I contacted them and they said it was a known issue where there was too much material on the inside of the power button and they’d send me a replacement as soon as they got them in.

About 3 weeks later, the replacement arrived and this one blushes by the volume buttons.

I kinda gave up at that point and haven’t contacted them again. I should probably do that.

No issues whatsoever. Very flush and barley any movement by the power button.

Surprisingly was able to nail the skin install. Now the question is, how do I buy skins just for the case

Not seen one of these posted anywhere before so wanted to share. I just got this Casely Power 2.0 battery case with MagSafe today.

A bit thick and shows a tiny bit of the frame at the top but gives me more battery(4700mAh) along with wireless charging and the most important of all, MagSafe to use with my car mount.

Got it through today.

Gotta say, I’m liking it! Whilst it’s never worth £50, I’d say it’s probably the best clear case I’ve tried in terms of not being a finger print magnet; somehow it just doesn’t really show them.

Feels nice in the hand too.

@AE14 - you can the robots at Dbrand a message and just purchase the skins. Did you get the regular case or the MagSafe case?

How are the buttons? I’m currently using the Ringke Fusion and the buttons are as good as the Apple Leather cases. Very responsive.

Not sure I like the ring on the back of the Apple clear case though?

The buttons are a little stiff, I’ve read they’ll loosen.

I have a Ringke Fusion too, that just adds a bit too much bulk for my liking.

Welp, reading the discussion on the clear case just cost me. It’s being delivered between 1230 and 1430 today (nice!).

Looking forward to the open bottom and being able to see some of that graphite frame without having to worry about fingerprints.

Just got the Apple Leather Case in black for my 12 Pro Max. Fits good, looks good (so far....). Had them for previous models, never any issues.
Also, my wife just ordered the Product Red leather case for her 12 Pro Max. Looking forward to seeing how this is and how it really looks in person....
