Anyone go for a Apple Silicone cover for their graphite iPhone 12 ? Which colour did you choose?

I went with this ESR case until the Apple leather ones release.

I had a Speck Presidio Perfect Mist arrive today. Verizon and AT&T are having sales on these right now. It's basically the Speck Perfect clear case with a smoke back and a matte texture. It actually has really good grip. Hopefully that lasts and it feels great in the hand. I will see once the phone arrives, but the buttons may be the only issue like the other SPeck clear cases. They are never as good as the regular cases.

I looked at this as well. How is the finger printing?

I am wondering if anyone has the same problem when it comes to the leather cases. Now in the times of covid: How do we clean the leather cases without ruining them? Does anyone have an idea or any experience? Right now I am on the iPhone 11 (non-Pro) and there are no Apple leather cases for this phone so I didn‘t have to think about it until now. But I really want a leather case, but I am also really worried about the cleanliness / hygiene aspect of the case...

Thanks for the heads up, for now I've purchased the mous case, the main thing for me is preventing damage from drops and they seem to have gone large on that front, they also have relatively good reviews. Hope your Otterbox works out though, as I said was a great case when I owned one way back when!
I just received it -- and I am not happy. My previous Otterbox for iPhone 8 had a built-in mylar screen protector but the one for the iPhone 12 Pro has nothing. They are wanting to sell a very overpriced glass screen protector which would put the total price at almost $100. Not going to happen!

For those of you also looking for the thinest case possible, I ordered the Tozo Ultra Thin Hard Cover off Amazon and the Totallee Super Thin case in Frosted Black for my 12 pro.

The $9 Tozo case is on the left and has a warmer frosted grey finish
The $35 Totallee case on the right is darker and less see through

Besides the slight color differences they are nearly the same exact case down to the openings, thickness measured with a caliper and mold lines.

Going to see which one I like better with my Pacific Blue 12 Pro and return or keep the other as a backup.

Otterbox dropped their screen coverings a few releases back. We had to buy a separate screen protector for the XR. You can buy one from another vendor - they are pretty cheap on Amazon.

Just a basic leather cleaner should do it. Perhaps from an auto supply?

On the back not to bad as long as the coating stays on. Feels like it will smudge and need to be cleaned if that makes sense. But not fingerprint so bad.

I don’t have a definitive answer but since this is not a MagSafe case then it has no magnets built in and the thickness of it probably won’t allow anything to pass through.

Otterbox Aneu still might be a winner for some.
I would call it a Symmetry Lite with MagSafe. Same hard back shell but thinner

Pros:
MagSafe
Thin (only 1-2mm more than Apple silicone)
Grippy (sides are completely grey TPE/TPU)
Buttons should be fantastic
Small air pockets in a slim design
Should offer some drop protection
Thicker lip protection

Cons:
Overpriced (So are Apple silicone cases but you get MagSafe)
Bottom lip may sag as it’s completely TPE/TPU ?
Slight warp that should go away once on the phone
Some will say not being a brick is a con

Does it have microfibre lining on the inside?
