Hey, @edfoo how did you get your phone to display your name like that?

It took me a looooong minute to adjust the this case's slipperiness but all in all it's grown on me. When I tried my aftermarket Meifigno cases I was shocked at how much I didn't like my old favorite case anymore. I've got to return at least 2 of the 3 I bought and hang onto one.
it is quite slippery i must say. most likely will end up eventually getting the leather case but for now this is fine

Any suggestions on a case that is clear, minimalist, yet makes the phone flat when laid on its back, ie. thicker than the camera bump but also doesn't have its own raised lip around the camera bump.

I'd go with Peel or Totallee

Leather Baltic Blue case. Picked it up earlier for my Pro Max Graphite
Since I can't just walk into the Apple Store and browse, I had I go by pictures, color of a AW Baltic Blue band.

Not 100% sure right now on the color, under certain lighting it looks good, maybe too bright in other conditions...maybe I'm just not used to it.

I have to see it on the actual phone next week, not on my current XS Max. If not, I'll return it, maybe exchange for Saddle Brown.

Why recommend them when NONE of their cases is like that? Not one of them. Instead the opposite.

Anyone got any clear type cases that don't yellow so fast? Looking to get something for my gf since she's getting a Gold Pro Max this Friday. A lot of these solid colored cases kind of hide the beauty of the phone.

Oh, didn't know that, i thought it was like payWave limit with card.

To my knowledge Apple Pay has no limits and definately never asks for a pin.

That's why I'm so curious why this Apple Wallet seems so popular, why carry cards at all...but, maybe that's just me.

Has anyone been able to compare the Apple Leather Case and the ESR Leather Case? I am still debating on whether to go premium, but they seem very similar. Haven't found a comparison online either...
No one? 🙁

Yep.

I used the ESR for a week. A very nice case for the price. The leather is very papery and thin but it does feel good; I'm not convinced on it being 'genuine' based on this. I returned it once I received my Apple leather case.

In my opinion, the Apple leather case feels like a quality product. The leather is soft and will wear nicely. Others have complained of the lack of leather smell but mine definitely smells of leather like previous years. I picked my Baltic Blue case up off Amazon for £48.00 and paid £20 for the ESR. The Apple case is definitely worth the extra money

Their UK stockist is desiredtech (I emailed them last year as I wanted the case for my Xr and caudabe linked me).

They have the cases for £27 plus p&p
I love the sheath. Had one on my 11 Pro Max but found the buttons to be a bit stiff. How are they on the new ones (or won't you know until you get your 12 Pro Max?)?

Thanks! I think this will look real nice with the Graphite. After I placed the pre-order, I went back to look for cases on Apple and saw the leather's were available. Placed the order for the Baltic Blue, did in-store pickup - had to reserve a time for 6:15pm Fri. The Apple Store is only a few miles from me.

I am also going to get the Baltic Blue to go with my Graphite iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Also getting the Green Silicone case to use every alternate week With the Baltic Blue leather.

I used the Saddle brown Leather with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. So need a change and black leather is nice but most of my skins later from dBrand will be black or grey

Will probably get the saddle brown sleeve later when using the dBrand skins.

I am sure ai should be okay for 1 year until iPhone 13 Pro Max releases.

Nudient case arrvied. It feels nice in the hand, doesn't add much bulk. The silicone isn't as grippy when it comes to lint but it's still a little slippery. This may change over time with usage. The button cut outs do make accessing the buttons a little harder, but I'm sure I'll adjust.

Is it a hard shell case? I usually avoid them as they sractch the edges of the phone.

I don’t have the case. Was thinking of buying it for my standard 12.
