What are people using to clean their phones with leather cases? On my 11 PM I had the Apple leather case and would clean my phone with Clorox wipes or alcohol wipes. The alcohol wipes would remove the color. I stopped using the leather and moved back to the Sheath.
Now on my 12 PM I’m using the Apple leather case again. Sheath has quality issues. I do have a phonesoap homesoap that use when I’m home. But what about when our grocery shopping? I can’t waste 1 Clorox wipe just to wipe down the phone.

With the amount of bacteria leather cases absorb, you’d need to use some heavy duty detergent to clean them completely.

I wouldn’t bother - just dampen a paper towel with water & wipe it every day.

You could try a mild dish washing detergent (diluted may be better in case it impacts the leather), but water should be good enough if you do it daily...

In saying that, water & leather aren’t a great mix either...hence why leather cases disgust me, especially after a few months/years...talk about a Covid hotspot. 🤮

Is anyone using those square camera protectors? How are they - they seem bulky...? Any recommended ones?

Do you mean this lens film? It is quite pricey for ESR in terms of buying from Chinese website. Other brands may sell under £1.

They’re ridiculous imo. What monstrosities 😂

The glass on the lenses is the most scratch resistant glass on the phone, so I see it as pointless.
its not for the lens, its for the lens surround that can get scuffed up/scratched, depends how OCD you are :)

I will look ridiculous rather than suffering from anxiety. Starting to notice that lump gonna scratch at some point.

It depends on preference too. Some like things in pristine state and some for rugged look for personality. Whichever way we go, it’s cool.

And I think I m bipolar too. Want to take a bigger risk with this aluminium bumper frame. It will probably scratch stainless side for big time.

Finally received my Decoded Leather case for iPhone 12 Pro , used their case for my last iPhone and even more impressed with the case for the 12 Pro.The case has the bottom cutout like the previous Apple cases which i prefer and the leather is nice and not very grainy and smells like leather.

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. :oops:

Wish I knew about the OB Symmetry. I ordered one last night from Target for cheap.

This looks awesome, how come I didn't see this before? How are the buttons?

Buttons are metal and just a little stiff, but i think that's due to the case still being new and expect them to soften up with use. Otherwise they have a very nice solid feel to them.

And the fit is good? Only reason I am considering this is because I've heard Apple's leather case has issues with the corners popping out.

I returned my Apple silicone case and bought the Apple leather case when it was released. The leather really is very nice, and fits very well (I’ve read others have had issues).

I also ordered a cheap bumper from eBay UK, and I must say I prefer it to the leather case!

Read on here that someone had a bumper for theirs and ordered one expecting it to be crap. It’s nice to hold, adds minimal bulk and is very pocketable.

Not had a bumper since my iPhone 7.
Bumper source?
