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

[certifiedlovergirl]

rhinoshield solidsuit on the 12 gold pro! was using the apple silicone case initially, and although the rhinoshield case is quite thin, i noticed a significant difference in width - it's much wider than the apple silicone and thus adds more bulk to the grip. its also a bit slippery. overall great quality, very sturdy and snug fit.

UPDATE: ive only put this on once and removed it once as of today....BARE SCRATCHES on ALL sides of my phone. its not like noticeable hard scratches, but its those micro scratches that are consistent throughout the sides =( im not sure what type of material they use for the case but yup.. it scratched the sides. these are going back unfortunately, I did enjoy the aesthetics of the case but im not comfortable putting these on at all.

I went with the Apple brand clear case for my Silver iPhone 12 Pro Max. While I do realize it isn’t as popular as the other cases (I get it, I’m not a huge fan of the white MagSafe shape either), I wanted to be able to see the silver phone and still use a MagSafe charger. I’m sure I’ll get a few more cases but for now this is what I got. My wife got a MagSafe compatible Otterbox. That’s a nice feeling case as well.

I ordered the ESR leather case, because it is like $10 at the moment...

I picked up 2 cases for my Graphite iPhone 12 Pro Max from the Apple Store
1) Cyprus Green Silicone Case
2) Baltic Blue Leather Case

I also picked up the MagSafe charger with 20W adapter

My Graphite iPhone 12 Pro Max should be coming later this week. Can’t wait.

Going to use these 2 case every alternate week. Waiting for the saddle brown leather sleeve to release. Then will also order some dBrand skins.

I got the Sheldon leather flip case today. Nice for the price but wayyy to thick! Anyone know of a thin flip case? I've just always had them, saves on scratches while in the pocket

I like the Sheldon cases but agree they’re too thick. I have a KAVAJ one coming today so will report back on that later.

I’ve got the Apple black leather case but I can see some stripes on it? Only in a certain light. Not sure if to return for a replacement? Not sure you can see in the pic? Anyone else got this?

Can you feel them when you go over it with your hand/fingers.

Did it come like that outbid the box or you used it for a few days? In the US the people are lucky to return anything after 2 weeks to 30 days.

In HK, once you open the box, you have to go to Genius Bar and in most cases, they don’t accept returns. Everything is based on warranty.

That's just a leather thing. I remember getting an orange leather case for my iPhone X that showed similar stripes (except that they were much more visible than yours). I think it may happen as part of the leather conditioning. Not much you can do about it as Apple warns about these "imperfections" as being part of the leather....

It’s just the natural variations in leather. I wouldn’t return over that, and I am very anal about things being perfect when new. It’s going to patina a tiny bit anyway, though less than the other colors.

That just looks like leather to my eye. Given its natural it have patterns in it. That said, I just received my black leather case for the mini (at least 6 days ahead of the phone 🙁) and it doesn’t seem to have any lines in it:

Any pictures of the apple black leather / blue iPhone 12 combo? Sorry if I’ve missed them.

Yes. Only slight but yes.

Out the box. It’s for the max so not been used yet

Looking good. I am thinking of getting one for my Pro Max. Not sure whether to go with my normal black or get the blue one. I have a Pacific Blue on pre-order. How does the fit and finish seem?

I would have gone for blue but delivery estimated as December. I think black with the blue should look OK too, hopefully. At least it will cover the 12 blue, which I’m not a huge fan of but wanted to go for something different.

Can’t comment on fit I’m afraid as it’s for the mini, but it feels good which you’d hope/expect given the cost. I’m sure I’ll get over the cost once it’s on the phone and in use.

Then you can try to return it.

I haven’t even open my Baltic Blue box. You are getting me worried now. Lol

By the way which iPad Peo Max did you order? Mine will be the Graphite color. It goes will all case color options and not to forget, skins.

Yeah. My saddle brown doesn’t show any lines either, but I’ve had Apple leather cases in the past that had some faint lines showing.

I guess the moral of the story is this - if it bothers you, exchange it. These don’t seem to be in short supply, and the odds seem good that you’ll get one with no lines in it.

Just checked my case. It looks fine. If you are not comfortable, you can go to the Apple store tomorrow to have it exchanged.

I’d keep it. I wouldn’t worry about the stretch marks. To me, it adds to the case’s character right out of the box.

 

[MCube74]

I tried out the Baltic blue leather with the graphite iPhone 12 pro on display at the store and it looked great hence I bought it for my Graphite iPhone 12 Pro Max. Was tempted to get black but then I will be using mostly black and grey skins. This case being blue will give a different look until I get the leather sleeve and skins.

 

[MCube74]

Here is the other case I tested and bought for my graphite phone.

 

[Nspyr]

Just ordered the Baltic Blue leather case last night. Perfect timing. It will get here on Friday.

You'll get that with leather; no two pieces are the same.

I like the stripes
