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

[jmgregory1]

I decided to buy the Apple leather case for my 12 Pro Max since my sheath is not fitting snug. The Saddle Brown is nice and the buttons...!!!

I ordered early Sunday morning and it was delivered outside my door today, Monday morning before 9AM. That’s some very fast shipping.
When trying to take the leather case out from the box, I accidentally nicked the corner of the leather. It’s leather and it’s bound to happen. I haven’t encounter the corner of the case becoming undone yet. Love the color and the case. I appreciate the bottom protection with this iteration this year. It’s also pinky friendly, at least to me. I guess the callous on my pinky makes all cases pinky friendly.

I’m a little disappointed in Caudabe. Emailed them regarding the issue with my sheath and they replied back with how to properly install the case. But they also did mention a free replacement when the new batch are ready. Emailed them back but have not heard from them since. Don’t reply back to a customer on how to put a case on a phone. It’s not hard to install a basic 1 piece case. If it’s defected, it’ll be very obvious.

That is fast turnaround. My orange Apple leather 12 PM case isn’t supposed to deliver until Wednesday - ordered on Saturday after getting the Totallee case that just doesn’t have the case mold perfected yet, so I wanted something better. My wife has the blue leather on her 12 Pro and it looks and feels great - even better than the 11 PM leather case I have on my now old 11 PM.

I went with Spigen Liquid Crystal Case.

Here are a few pics of my new Peel cases.

I have more at different angles. If you want to see those, just let me know. This clear case is the most comfortable to use but buttons are stiffer than say the Torras clear case. The jet white is pretty much like holding the phone without a case but less slippery, not as comfortable to hold.

Really making me want to order the matte black one! , I’d love to see more angles of the white case!



Side note, I don’t know how so many people love the looks of those tacky UAG cases lol

I got the otterbox symmetry clear glitter case and I am loving it so far!

I have this case but it’s the PopSocket versions

Just consider first tho. I worried a bit whether it will scratch the side stainless.
It seems like it has white foam insert inside.

Black Sheath v Apple Black Leather.
Sheath is a tad smaller and 2 grams lighter, seems to wrap around the front edge a bit which looks better imo, also has a tighter fit, the Apple will push off on the corners the sheath won't. (hasn't happened in my pocket yet though)
Grip great on both just different.
Both pass the pinky test.
Buttons a bit better on Apple's. The leather is perfect no stripes, one edge has bit of a dip near bottom.
Overall think i like the sheath better so far, better fit and tad smaller. Also $49AUD cheaper here.
Rang to return the apple leather they said keep it and refunded.
Might get the magsafe charger and try it out might make me like it better.

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

Can a "Saddle Brown" case go with a Pacific Blue Phone? 🤔

Gotta admit, that case is beautiful. I just don’t think it’s going to age well. I really really hope I’m wrong.

got a black otter box symmetry and it’s horrible sag near the volume buttons... my sister bought the blue one and hers doesn’t have any sag.

i bought a clear speck presido grip case and the buttons are stiff as hell

i also bought a otterbox defense pro on sale for 20, probably the best case of the bunch but it does not work with my logitech wireless stand

guess i have to return all these damn cases back why do all the cases suck this year?

Try the tech21 evo check. Very happy with mine on the pro.

I got a Torras clear case, and it looks nice, but it gaps on the sides...I just know that dust will get in there like crazy. As soon as my Apple silicone case gets here on Wednesday, the Torras will be packed up and returned.

I hear ya. I’m having a heck of a time finding a case I love this year for my 12 Pro Max. Even old reliables aren’t working out.

Caudabe Sheath has fit issues that they’ve apparently identified and will ship updated cases in a couple of weeks if you contact them (which I have).

Multiple other usually reliable cases cover the sides fine, but don’t completely cover the frame above and below the screen, almost like they’re not deep enough. I guess you could call it sag.

The leather and silicone Apple cases fit great, but I’m not sure how protective either would actually be. I’ve tried both, but I’m not convinced yet. And plenty of people seem to have the issue of the corner of the phone popping out when it’s in a pocket.

I feel like I’ve returned so many cases already and still haven’t found one that grabs my attention.

Just the opposite. A lot of us prefer it because it actually ages as you use the phone.

The black Symmetry for the 12PM has the sharpest, stiffest edges of any case I've ever fondled. I can guarantee you this thing will scratch the sides of your new shiny phone. I've had the black Symmetry for the past 5 plus phones and always loved them. Won't be purchasing it for the 12PM The Apple silicone on the other hand is one sweet case and I need a few of them.

Anyone have a photo of the gold iPhone 12 pro or pro max with the Apple saddle brown leather case?

Here ya go...

 

[jbachandouris]

Apple black leather case as per usual. I tried the clear, but the ring made it look hideous and the buttons were too hard to push.

Now I need to sell my 2 black leather cases for my 11 Pro Max....

 

[nrvous1]

I think you misunderstood my comment. I have been using leather cases for years now and always want it to patina. No kidding, it ages as you use it; any vegetable tanned leather good will and should age. My comment is directed at the possibility of outsourcing the leather on this years apple cases. If, this is a blend of leather and a synthetic, it will not age well. My Nomad is developing a nice patina, but it’s 100% Horween leather. Hopefully my Mujjo case will age just as it should since it’s a vegetable tanned leather as well.

I’m gonna try Tech21 and Griffin cases next, they are the only ones i haven’t tried that i had from the older iPhones that i liked.
