Anyone have the otterbox symmetry for the 12 pro max? Thoughts?
I do and am very happy with it. It was hard to put on the phone but the fit is very good, especially reading about some of the case fit issues people are having. No problem here. Been my go-to case for several iPhone generations.

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 ?‍♂️
As far as I'm concerned, a quality clear case is good enough for home office. But for, let's say "non-home-real life-non-covid-times activities" I prefer the Apple leather case.

Placed an order for the Mujjo tan leather case for the 12/12 pro. It’s similar in design to last year’s Apple leather case for the 11 pro, but made with vegetable tanned leather. Hopefully it gets here this week. 10% off code with shipping cost was $53.50 (expedited shipping = $11.94). The case itself was $41.56.

LOS ANGELES BABY!!
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.

i ordered the otterbox symmetry case with MagSafe. Supposed to be here on November 20th. I’ve had the OtterBox symmetry on other phones and I really like it and I really want to take it advantage of the magsafe charging so I’m waiting for that one

Once they come out with this case that has the Magsafe charging I’ll order this one. There’s supposed to be out after the first of the year according to Nomad.

i’m going to receive my symmetry with magsafe supposedly this Friday, November 20. I have used the symmetry cases in the past on my iPhones and I love them and I did find out that the one with magsafe is being released on November 20 so that’s why I ordered it and I’m waiting for it. So hopefully it will come on that day as it supposed to but it’s a really good case I really like it. Normally I stick to clear cases but given the fact that there really aren’t many choices that incorporate the magsafe feature I’m going to go with the OtterBox symmetry in the black For my graphite promax.

Wonder if the MagSafe Symmetry will be noticeably thicker than the regular Symmetry?

Also, I scope the Otterbox Aneu last night at Walmart. It seemed very flimsy; pliable. Didn’t take it out of the box, but gave it a squeeze through the opening.

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

Does the silicone add much extra weight to the phone?

Received the Otterbox Symmetry just now and straight off the bat it's great!

Also grabbed a Caseology Parallax too in green, it reminds me of the Spigen Neo Hybrid with its soft tpu back and cage that fits on top. Pretty good slim case if this is your thing.

The symmetry is naturally a little taller and wider than the Caseology and the Torras Shockproof.

Symmetry feels great, decent grip and a hard Polycarbonate back, perfect cut outs, tactile buttons, camera well protected and decent depth for the bottom cutouts.

Works perfect with the Spigen EZ fit screen protector.

Was a little tough to get on but not Mous Limitless levels of stress though lol

I'd be very confident if I dropped my phone on the floor and it had the symmetry case on.

Full spec: https://www.otterbox.co.uk/en-gb/iphone-12-pro-max/symmetry-series-case/77-65462.html#start=1

I think I have found my go to case.

I just got a clear with blue edges on amazon but the magnet wallet does not stick so I just bought a clear Apple one yesterday. Hasn’t shipped yet. I think they’re ugly but I can’t risk the wallet slipping off

Does anyone have a real-life photo of Kumquat silicone case on Pacific Blue Pro? Usually use a fabric sleeve but would like a silicone one for days out, can’t decide between deep navy/plum/kumquat/Product Red!

Just got my black Sheath delivered and slapped it on my 12 Pro. Man the handling of this case is top notch. Now I see why you all love it. Has just the right amount of everything.

How does it compare to the Apple Silicone?

Yup. And even then, the plastic/TPU/silicone kinda cheapens how the phone feels in the hand, too. I guess I’m kinda over plastic cases in general.

I’ve been using my 12P without a case around the house and it’s nice BUT still nowhere near as comfy as my 6S in its tattered leather. So I guess it’s leather or bust for me.

I ordered the Saddle Brown leather case for my Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max, along with the 20w adapter to go with my MagSafe charger. I find it hilarious Apple felt it was more important to continue including an Apple sticker in the box than an adapter, lol
