Which Case Did You Get For Your New iPhone 12/Mini/Pro/Max? [Merged]

[nrvous1]

Are they switchable?

In this video, at the 5:10 minute mark it doesn’t look like they’re interchangeable without damaging the case.

Does the little MagSafe animation work for anyone with leather cases? Hasn’t worked with the two I have tried

From what some others have said on here, it has been hit and miss.

What is the point in the animation anyway?

Seems like a complete gimmick* from Apple, yet people are loving it. It adds nothing...

*accept there could be interesting uses for this feature in future, for ecosystem accessories, but for now there is no sign of anything

I can only see it when the phone is locked and screen on.
In general Home Screen, I did not observe animation. Same for both wallet and case.

Yep, this works 👍

Have a clear case coming and then preordered a Loopy case. Only case I’ve used since my 8+ I think it was.

How do the dimensions of the Loopy Case compare to other cases? It is slimmer than the Apple Silicone Case for iPhone 12/12 Pro?

He we go another year of cases. I ordered the iPhone 12 Pro Max which Will be here Friday, and the dark navy apple silicone case to start , which will be here on Tuesday. Not sure what other cases yet but I do like the Latercase Cyber edition like I have for my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Good protection for the camera lenses.

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.

I have both. I love the Sheath. Had one on my iPhone X most of the time. It's all I need for a case, good grip, overall protection, tactile buttons, easy to put on / take off, and slim. I ordered mine way ahead of the iPhone, but as shipping to Europe takes around 3 weeks, I had to get something to protect my phone, so I got the plum silicone case and the transparent magsafe case from Apple.

I am somehow disappointed with Apple's cases this year. The plum is lovely, overall very good protection, but it's a lint magnet no matter how often you wipe it clean. Also, hand oil tends to form stains that are difficult to get off, even when wiping it clean.

So to choose between the Apple silicone and the Sheath, I'd go with the Sheath any time. They are both very similar but I have the impression the silicon will age way faster.

The Apple transparent case was a huge disappointment. It is nowhere as elegant as the Sheath or the silicone case, it has thick lips and is open at the bottom. It is extremely slippery and a nightmare to put on/take off. I sent it back within a couple of days. If I want a transparent case, I'll get it from Spigen or Caudabe.

So for now, my vote goes to the Sheath. But I decided to give Apple another chance and ordered one of their new leather cases, incoming on Tuesday. I used to love the Apple leather cases on my iPhone X, so I hope it'll be a nice alternative to my Sheath once in a while.

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...

Caudabe ships to Europe. I'm in Switzerland and received mine within a couple of weeks. I was even offered the shipping costs as I ordered my cases before 12 Pro pre-sales started.

I’m looking for a leather wallet case. Any recommendations?

I am getting a blue Iphone 12. I decided to wait a bit before jumping in on a magsafe wallet/case/charger/car mount. I want to see how the magsafe system is liked after a bit more usage.

So I got the dockem case below The picture is not the best. it has an integrated metal plate which will work on my car mount. It is cheap so it will buy me time to decide on a more premium setup. It will meet my needs for now.

Ultimately I would like to get a quality leather case either with pockets or a magsafe wallet. Bullstrap look real nice, but magsafe is not available yet and the wallet version is preorder only.

hmm interesting. What didn’t you like about it?? I kinda would like something that is either frosted or clear on the back but i have a feeling the clear will be a scratch magnet. I’m also not looking to scratch the back of my new phone.

It was quite chunky and the edges were a sharp and untidy.

Check out the Ringke Fusion Matte

The ESR is the only one that came in so far. The plum MagSafe is supposed to be in today.

 

[slippery-pete]

Apple clear case for me.

I did the same returned the navy silicone for the black sheath, much lighter and no lint, feels better to imo. Will try a black leather but that will be it hopefully lol.

I would get that but can't here in Australia, had the fusion cameo for my 11 pro, was the cheapest case i bought and one i kept.

Sheath and Apple Leather are usually my combo. I also got a Veil this year. Debating over whether or not I’m going to get Apple Leather case this year. I’m not thrilled that they raised the price on an already expensive case.

Yeah $89 here. Not even quality leather.
