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

[ricktat]

Anyone get the Gear4 Battersea for the 12 Pro Max?

Wondering if the cutouts are asymmetrical or symmetrical ?

I had one for the 12 Pro. Cutouts were good. Grip was good. Quality was good.

Buttons were bad. Verizon and ATT both had them in stock so most likely for the Max also. You could try one out and see if the Max has bad buttons.

My ATT store had buy 2 get one free

are 2 right here:

I have the ESR camera lens protector on my 12pro. It’s basically a flimsy plastic cover that goes over the entire camera area. I was disappointed when I put it on because the quality sucks and it cheapens the look of the 12pro. I would not recommend.

I also have the Shellrus sapphire glass lens protector on my mini. Instead of a sheet of plastic that covers the entire camera area, the Shellrus is like a hood that only covers the lens. And, it's made of sapphire glass. I prefer these over the ESR.

This is my first time using lens protectors and I don’t know how I feel about them. I like them because they protect the camera lenses but dislike them because they take some of that *bling* away from the phone’s appearance.

Great review. The Shellrus is sticky ? Or how does it stay on?

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.

The fit is very good and grips to the phone very well and the camera cutout is near perfect as well.

 

[speed608]

Sorry to be annoying but I can't find any reviews online! Is there a lip to protect the camera lens like on the Apple leather case?

There is no lip for the camera lens as the case is flush with the Camera lens, in fact the camera lens sit just a hairs width below the metal ring around the case.

Yes, the Shellrus is sticky.

Does anyone remember the Incipio Feather cases? I used to love those especially back in 5s body. I don’t think they make that one anymore but does anybody know of a snap-on case similar to the Feather?

I've just ordered one of these to see what they're like; https://decodedbags.com/products/back-cover-split-black-iphone-12-pro

Anyone got one? I have heard good things. I have seen the solid black one on the previous page.

Is it comfortable to carry daily? And what about the bulk?

While I like the d brand grip, my main issue is it’s so grippy on the sites that lint and dust really sticks to it. Back to the sheath for overall the best case I use.

I like the look of that but personally open bottom is a concern for me with 5 year old picking up the phone now and then.

Please post pics once you get it

Well.... I have a two year old picking my phone up every now and then 😂

I had this issue too but somebody told me to reboot the phone and then try, all works great now. Hope that helps 🙂

Yay thank you so much it works

Snagged a Rinke Onyx as a cheap first case and I am very impressed.

I just got my Caudabe Sheath in and its going back. The Ringke is a better case IMO. The Ringke I got just fits better and is slimmer in the right areas to hold. The textures are similar enough and I think the Ringke offers better protection on the corners as they are raised a bit. The final touch is the metallic buttons. I'm pretty sure they are plastic but they respond better than the Sheath.

I received my Mous Limitless 3.0 yesterday and so far I love it. It a bit thicker than the MagSafe Leather case I own and adds quite a bit of weight to the phone which some people probably will not like but I do not mind.

It has a good grip and I love the feel of the aramid fibre back. The buttons have a nice tactile feel but I dislike the symmetrical port openings. Because of the bigger top and bottom lip (compared to the MagSafe leather case) when swiping in either of those directions your finger may touch the lip which may bother people. The MagSafe leather case lip is much smaller so when swiping up and down using that case it doesn't feel like you have a case on since your fingers will smoothly go over the lip. I should mention that the lip is reduced on the sides so left and right gestures feel smooth.

Overall this case is a keeper and I will rotate between this and the MagSafe leather case. I will attach some photos taken with a i̶P̶o̶d̶ T̶o̶u̶c̶h̶ 4̶t̶h̶ G̶e̶n̶ potato.

Which Ringke do you have that you like better than the sheath?

Anyone got a new smartish grip case with the button issue fixed?

Yes, I received the revised version a couple of days ago and the buttons are way better. It's a really nice case now.

There is no lip for the camera lens as the case is flush with the Camera lens, in fact the camera lens sit just a hairs width below the metal ring around the case.

I would imagine this would make it thicker than the Apple leather case. Do you have any photos of a side view?

I do! I had one for my 4, and ended up not getting one for my 5 just because I had plenty of others. A few other favorites of that era were the Incase Pro Snap (rubbery, colorful sides, hard plastic back), the Belkin Grip Candy Sheer (TPU), and the Speck CandyShell Grip (felt less bulky than the Presidio ones now and came in more fun colors).

Incase was bought by Incipio, and it seems their lineup is stuck in the XR/XS era, while Belkin isn't doing much with cases anymore either.

So far I'm pretty pleased with the easy case options for the 12 and will probably end up accumulating way too many.

Ringke onyx

Good grip, pretty slim too, military drop protection (if that's a thing), buttons a little rattly, and still rocks on the table due to the camera bump. Cutouts are perfect.

for £8 it's a bargain.

Il add more pics shortly.

Has anyone tried Pipetto? I can't find any reviews but it looks like a nice leather case.

Ringke always makes some nice cases.

Of the three, black leather

Out of those three options though I'd definitely jump for black leather.
