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

[naturalstar]

For my Pro Max, I’m currently wearing the Ringke Fusion clear case and it is the best clear case I have tried out of the usual bunch. I have the Glitter version on order now.

I‘m getting the California Poppy case from Apple, but also looking for other leather cases that aren’t plain. Example, I had the Mercedes leather case for my 11 PM that was designed after the leather that wraps the steering wheel of a Mercedes.

Anyone know of any interesting leather cases with a bit more flair?

Could you post some pics?

I ended up running the Smartish on my 11 Pro Max and (work) XR for the past several months. Hard to beat them in my opinion. This year I went for the 12, after having the Pro’s, Pro Max’s, and Max’s for many years. I really enjoyed the size of my (work) XR; 6.1 is a sweet spot and the 12 is so stinking light, I don’t even feel it in my pocket!!! And Incan use it one-handed!! Not missing the screen size. Yet. And definitely don’t miss the weight!

it’s too dang cold to hold it in chilly Cali morning.

I just ... you can’t even ... nevermind.

Is there a MagSafe accessories master thread? I see lots of people posting non-MagSafe thin cases or whatever, or cases that say “MagSafe compatible” but obviously that just means some magnetism goes through it. But that inevitably reduces the strength of the attachment compared to actual cases with MagSafe and chargers with MagSafe attaching directly.

Walmart has the Otterbox Defender Pro cases on sale for $20 for Black Friday. Bought one, fits real nice on the phone and real thin, unfortunately it makes the phone too tall to use with the Logitech POWERED 3 in 1 dock’s stand.

Nice!

1) How much thinner (if at all) would it say it is compared to the Apple Leather case?

Also,

2) Any idea on what they refer to as:



Does this mean the case has magnets and will repel against magnet mounts?

@LLL1424 would you kindly be able to test this?

@LiE_ - perhaps you can chime in too, as an owner of the blue Nudient?

I have the Apple Leather iPhone 12 Pro Max case and I can tell you the Nudient is slightly thinner then the Apple version of the case. The Nudient also fights slighty more fit and slim. As far as the magnets Nudient talks about, it didnt interfere with the MagSafe charger. Nothing noticeable on that end. Also, the case literally was shipped out of Sweden to get to the USA. Pretty cool.

Is that a slimy smudge magnet or not?

I have a feeling you’re not going to like the nomad on the pro max. It will add a decent amount of bulk. I’d say about the same as a presidio grip or tech 21. Although, I’d say the closest case in size/bulk comparison would be the otter of symmetry. The nomad is definitely a middle of the road type of case.

This video may give you an idea of what it looks like on the 12 pro max.

That graphite looks sweet and i can smell that leather lol, good combo.

 

[naturalstar]

Is that a slimy smudge magnet or not?

Not slimy. The back is polycarbonate. Only the bumper is TPU. Easy wipe for any prints.

Apple leather cases. Also have a neo hybrid and a Candabe sheath waiting for me at work Monday!

Why are the Apple logo in white?

Hmmm disagree. I have a gray Sheath and noticed that the sides don't find snug on the phone, either. I was hoping it was just me, but after buying other cases such as Apple's, there's an undeniable difference in the way the case fits. I'll now contact Caudabe as well. Pity because I love this case and still recommend it. I hope they can fix this.

I thought it was just me. I put the gray Sheath on my 12 Pro Max yesterday and noticed the sides do not fit snug on the phone. One side is worst than the other. The top and bottom also do not fit snug. I have the Sheath for the Xs Max and the 11 Pro Max and they fit perfectly.

they are just decals. I like them better than the case by itself. Looks less boring.

A buddy of mine at work has the same issue with his sheath on his 12 pro

I got the otterbox defender max pro from target that was on sale for $20 and with 5% off and rewards I got it down to $13.35 and taxes, with the added size and weight this thing can be really used for self defense..😂

they really slimmed it down this year! i tried it on and it’s the best case so far! only negative is that it doesn’t work with my Logitech Wireless Dock because it makes the phone a bit taller

No offence to you but that looks hideous IMO.

I think I quite like that. Maybe not white, mind. Might pick up some black ones and see what they look like on the Baltic Blue case

Anyone have the otterbox symmetry for the 12 pro max? Thoughts?

Many thanks @LLL1424 that's really helpful, and glad to know its slightly thinner than Apple's case.

Regarding the magnets, I was less referring to MagSafe, and more referring to whether the case still would stick to a magnet mount (this kind of thing) where the magnet is in the mount, and it sticks to the metal plate on the back of your phone. My worry is if the Nudient itself has magnets within, how would it reaction to a magnet mount that also contains a magnet...

Pic of a worn-in saddle brown leather case for iPhone 5s from Reddit- Just a reference point as to how the new cases with flat sides would wear with time.

Personal opinion - won't be going with saddle brown this time after seeing this pic, do not like the edge patina

 

[naturalguy]

This is the conundrum I’m facing: love this pacific blue, but I’m finding clear plastic kinda cheapens the whole vibe. Maybe gonna switch gears and do leather again

Clear cases look like plastic on my grandmothers couch, they look really cheap

That is an AMAZING price! The Defender is my go to case. It’s the only one with adequate front drop, screen protection. I am rough on my phones and they are always in pristine condition because of the Defender

What's hideous about it?

Apple Saddle Brown case for my 12 Pro

 

[Nhwhazup]

My favorite case is the Torras Love Series silicone case. But alas, they are not offering this case for the 12’s. 😩

So I have settled for the Apple silicone case.
