Finally found a flip case thats thin enough to carry! I'm just used to the samsung S view case and like the screen
protection and handling of the phone in general. I tried Sheldon, platinum from best buy, Touuch and now Aunote. Surprising good quality for 12 bucks

It does not. Not in my opinion at least... the case is quite thin.
It depends what you like:
- elegant/discreet/understatement: go for plum or deep navy.
- fashionista/young-and-poppy-bold statement: go for kumquat.
- modern and socially responsible: go for product red.
(of course, this is second-degree humor! pick whichever ones you like best)

Similar issue here. It's as if the flat back of the case isn't quite wide enough, and the sides do't quite wrap properly at right angles to the back, causing a gap along the edges on both sides where the buttons are. I just know that dust and grit will get in there and make a mess of the edges of the phone. As soon as my Apple Silicone case arrives next week, the Torras is going back to Amazon.
I have the exact same inner struggle...I love the Pacific Blue, but hate the way clear cases look in general.
After reading the thread on corners popping out with apple leather case, I canceled the order and went with Peel clear hard case. I’d like my pacific blue pro Max showing through with a clear case. I’ve tried apple clear case but it’s too slippery and buttons were difficult to press.
anyone else had experience with Peel clear case (hard)?

I do and it’s amazing. I really love how bright the Kumquat is in person.
I'm taking the Apple clear MagSafe case back - the bottom left corner of my Mini seems to want to pop out of the case all the time.
My silicon case is fine but I do need to be sure to push the phone in properly when I put it on for the first time. Not sure if its the flat edges, but it seems really easy to not put the whole phone in and have a random corner sticking up.

When I first ordered the iPhone 12 Pro I got it with the black silicone case, however I have now purchased a Baltic Blue leather case. I changed to the leather case after getting the Product Red leather case for my wife (she found the clear case a bit slippery and the volume buttons more difficult to press, so I wanted to get her another case). The quality is just so good, would highly recommend the leather cases.
Hard clear has no grip on my Mini. Midnight green has a different texture but not so grippy (GF’s 12 Pro). But their cases are minimalist, so you can hold the phone easier than a bulkier case.
Picked up an Otterbox Aneu from the Apple Store yesterday.
Pros: Nice grip, good tight fit around phone, significant lip protection, no fingerprinting, MagSafe, thin, seems like it would cope well in a drop, asymmetric cutouts
Cons: a bit of sag near charging port, expensive, power button not very tactile.
Overall I like it. For those with OCD re sag near charging port I suggest you stay away.
ATM I have 4 cases. My rank from favourite to least favourite:
1. Otterbox Aneu
2. Mous Limitless
3. Raptic Defense Lux Carbon
4. Official leather case

I got the Otterbox Symmetry for my 12 Mini and the fit and finish is amazing and it seems a lot thinner then the OT Symmetry I had on my Xr.
Picked this up tonight; pretty impressed for the money awfully rubbery. Definitely not a 12ft drop case but not a bad little bump fall case jobber.
I'd like some recommendations for this also. I got the Totalee case but returned it. Was OK but not worth £29. I was under the impression you could see the Apple logo but no, it was completely black. Fit was Ok but as I say, not worth £29.
Since you’ve got the Mous Limitless, others have said the buttons are still hard to press. What do you think? Are they hard to press? Anything you don’t like about the case? I keep thinking about ordering one, but I’m hesitant.
I don’t have any issue with the buttons. Both the volume and power buttons are tactile enough on my iPhone 12 to the point where I haven’t ever given 2 thoughts about it.
IMO the things that you should think about are:
- case is a bit saggy around volume buttons
- “banana boat”
- grip on the sides is bad if you have dry hands
- speaker cutouts are not assymetrical
- price
- it’s bulky
Personally I can live with the above “issues” hence why I like it.
