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.

Thanks for the in-depth reply. I actually prefer the banana boat design (Ringke does this with a lot of their cases as well). I may have to grab one and see what I think. I appreciate it.

The "Banana Boat" just kills me. Can't believe Mous still has not figured out how to make a flat case.
The banana boat I'm referring to is that the case is so bowed that you can use it as a fidget spinner.

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.
How's the fit on the leather case?

Exchanged my PB pro and BB case for the graphite and black leather. I always go black and thought I’d go outside of my comfort zone this year...that did not last very long.

liking the case and have until 8 Jan to decide if I want to keep it. Love the new long return date:)

I am hoping that dBrand is better this time around since Mous suck.

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.

Let us know how you like it bro. By the way, my 12 Pro Max is supposed to be here Tuesday now.

I’ve been thinking about preordering the DBrand Grip case for my 12 Pro Max, as I’ve had it in the past on my Pixel 4 XL and Note 20 Ultra, but it seems you can’t order just the case for the 12 Pro Max without ordering a skin as well (I never put a skin on my previous cases).

If you look at the Note 20 Ultra page, you can order just the case, but on the 12 Pro Max page, you can’t remove the skin. That adds $10 to the cost of the case, which just seems wrong.

Can anyone confirm what I’m seeing?

I got 2 cases from the Apple Store last week.

1) Cyprus Green Silicone
2) Baltic Blue Leather

Using the cyprus green one first

Looking amazing with my graphite iPhone 12 Pro Max

Anyone using the Apple Cases with the MagSafe chargers? Do the circle marks come on the back easily? Can they be removed ?

Can anyone with a glass screen protector say how much lip there is on the Apple leather or silicone? Looking to see if I could lay it face down without the screen protector touching the table.

I'm afraid I am sending the Otterbox Symmetry back. I've noticed quite bad sag around the charge port, so much you can see it without touching it.

For £29.99 this is unacceptable in my eyes. Could be a faulty case but not going to risk getting a replacement.

Currently using the Caseology Parallax, have ordered a caudabe sheath ages ago. Will evaluate that when it arrives.

Sorry for the reflection. I decided to go with the Pitaka/ Torras SP combo. It’s clean and simple.

Maybe you got a defective case, my Symmetry doesn’t have any sag at all!
Is the Symmetry that you got, the MagSafe version?
No this isn’t the MagSafe version and to be honest after seeing youtube reviews on MagSafe Apple accessories looks like a huge gimmick to me lol
Is that case two pieces?
No it’s one piece

It really depends on the screen protector as some are 0.35mm and some 0.25mm.

Mine is 0.25mm and there is just about enough lip on the silicone case. It is about as much as previous models.

iPhone mini just arrived, so I’ve been able to finally make use of the case that arrived last week. Blue phone, black apple case for anyone interested (it is a great fit, and shows off a bit of the blue aluminium at the front as well as the obvious blue camera housing):

Running both, there is plenty of lip for laying it face down.

I have the apple leather case with MagSafe and it’s not a gimmick. I like that it stays on the charger and cannot get knocked off. You know by the magnetic connection between the phone and the charger that it’s charging. There of been many times when I thought I put my price iPhone 11 Pro Max properly on my QI charger only to wake up the next day and find out that I didn’t have it in the exact right spot in my phone never charged at night. With my mag safe charger I know it’s in the right spot because it makes that connection and it’s not so easy to knock off because it’s magnetically attached to my phone. I do have the OtterBox symmetry coming on Friday with the magsafe and I like the case because I’ve used it before and having it with MagSafe is only an added bonus for me

I prefer to use my 30watt USB-C to Lightning charger, it charges my phone sooo fast, I swear 10mins will bring my phone from 38% to 75%.

only time I ever use wireless charging is when at my computer desk because my lamp has a 5-7watt charger built into it, and I can visually see its being charged.

but yes I can see why you like MagSafe and enjoy it
