Trying another Laut Crystal Matter 2.0 case. I’ll know at lunch if they revised the fit of the case compared to their launch inventory (buttons jiggled and the fit was loose).

Edit: They haven't revised their case fit or buttons at all. Still fits poorly and buttons are still jiggly. Frustrating because this case has potential to be near the #1 spot of my case line up. Maybe they'll be more precise with 2021 iPhone lineup.

I feel the same about Blackbrook. I ordered one directly from them, it was awful. Tried 2 different versions from Amazon, both awful. Also, zero camera protection.

Lesson, don't buy Blackbrook.

Comparison with Bullstrap, look at the corners:

Blackbrook should be ashamed of those cases. Their quality is a joke and everything about that case looks like a cobbled together mess. I had one, as well. I sent it back for a refund. I hope they don’t just send that case out to another buyer to see if that buyer ends up keeping it.

Here is the Capri Blue on a white 12 Pro. It comes with a pre-defined magsafe ring to save the trouble of waiting for the "burn in" to appear? :p

Another edit to add a photo of the case with the Arizona wallet.

Finally caved and bought a nomad case. My shipping notifications are coming all the way from Hong Kong. 😳 I feel like I’m tracking a new iPhone release.

I’ve contacted Nomad about getting their cases shipped from Hong Kong. This was their response.

“Thanks for checking! Don't worry - we ship from various warehouses to accommodate inventory for our orders. Our system directed your order to ship from our international warehouse in Hong Kong this time around instead of from California. The quality will be the same since all cases are still produced in the same place!

If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know.”

What color did you order? They sent me that response when I ordered the natural leather case. Each time I’ve ordered the black or brown cases they’ve shipped from California.

.....really??

Do all the new silicone cases from Apple come like this then?

That's horrible if they do.....😒
Well I think mine just happened to be pretty visible. Not sure if they are all like that. And I do use magsafe, so it will get the ring over time anyway, so it doesn't bother me too much. If I didn't use magsafe charging and the wallet it would definitely bother me, however.

My wife got the pistachio silicone case for her green iPhone 12 and the ring wasn't visible right out of the box, so mine is probably just "special."
