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

[SisterBlue22]

I wouldn’t say zero. I’ve witnessed a drop of 3m & the phone was unscathed.

& unless they’ve changed the design from all prior years, then there’s usually a decent lip on Apple’s leather & silicone cases.

Now if you have a screen protector, the lip may not be enough, but on a naked screen, the lips are fine.

My silicone case definitely has plenty of lip on the front, and I'd be surprised if the leather cases don't, but I've been reading that they don't, so who knows? I also hear of the leather cases popping off on the corners, so maybe they are designed improperly so the phone doesn't sit quite deep enough into the case...hence popping corners and no lip?

How do you like the Apple leather case? Do you have the Baltic blue or the Saddle brown? I’ve been looking at the Apple leather cases and the nomad case and nomad has a rubber fitting where the phone goes into where the Apple leather case has thinner sides with leather around the edges and like the Silicon case nice soft Suede material inside.

I like it a lot. Not too bulky and has enough grip for me. It's no Otterbox for sure and not much of a lip to cover the screen. But I personally do not mind that.

So far, this year, I’ve played Otterbox Defender, Spigen Thin Fit and the Evutec. Just as typical with every year I keep finding myself back in Evutec. @FellOffTheTruck, I realize it isn’t your style because occasionally it KFC CHICKEN bucket fingerprints but MAN it’s such a good solid case for the money. Great compromise between phone protection and size. Year after year I come back to this case.

Ugh keep trying to attach images and stupid Tapatalk

Only other case I have a desire to play with is one of the Mallard UAG Pathfinders.

They are nice but are fingerprint magnets.

So are you keeping it? How does it "feel in the hand?" Lol.

I'm thinking about getting one but eh. So far all I have is black leather and I like it a lot.

I may never use it but I'm going to keep it. I do need to get the silicone case in black though.

Got the Baltic Blue leather case for my 12 Pro and the corner popped out soon after putting it on so it's going back.

My Decoded Leather case just shipped from the Netherlands and due to come tomorrow and I have high hopes for that one.

I just ordered the Spigen thin fit case which is regularly $19.99. With a 30% Black Friday discount and $11.00 in reward points it cost me $9.52. Also got the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Designed for iPhone 12 Pro Max Case (2020) - Crystal Clear for $11.99 on Amazon which is regularly $29.99 on Spigen’s website. I’ve had both cases before for my iPhone 11 ProMax.

An almost 10 foot drop with the leather case?

It was a one off. & a very lucky one off.

But the leather definitely does provide some drop protection.

Got my smartish grip today. Buttons are much better. Seems a bit more substantial than the sheath. Good case.

Does anyone know when the colored Otterbox Symmetry with magsafe cases will ship? Only black is available on otterbox.com

 

[sneeks]

A definite lip on my saddle brown leather case even with a screen glass protector fitted.

How is the TPU? Firm? Or still saggy?

 

[VaderRulez]

Smartish?

Smartish?

Good company, makes solid and interesting cases. I had one for my 11. No complaints. I think they used to be called silk, or some such...

Gotcha. I remember Silk cases from some years back. Thanks.

Is anyone actually getting the apple leather sleeve that’s available now?

 

[nrvous1]

My Decoded Leather case just shipped from the Netherlands and due to come tomorrow and I have high hopes for that one.

I think someone is taking my Mujjo for a ride. I paid an extra $11.xx for expedited shipping and it looks like it’s not going to get here any quicker.

Just picked up the incipio organicore in black. Interesting texture, excellent fit, no give at all. Only issue are the volume buttons are very stiff. Otherwise it’s a winner for sure.

I probably will. I have the blue one in my cart.

I picked up the Schnail iPulse series folio case from Amazon. I'm not much of a folio guy, but I like to have one on deck for when I travel. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Beautiful box that housed the black Napa leather case (which was wrapped in a fine cloth bag). So far so good! Put it on my Pro Max and fit like a glove. Nice feel to the soft black leather. It has a magnetic closure tab that snaps shut. Great folio case for $30. Looks and feels very high quality. I gotta tell you, the Max feels pretty good in the case! I'll definitely use it for more than travel. Turns out Schnail case company is located pretty close to where I live as well! I'll update the post as I use it and break it in a bit.

Thinking about it because it looks kinda interesting. Except I’m struggling with the use case (no pun intended). If I’m out in the world I’ll want to wipe it down, but it’s leather so 🤷‍♂️

Just got my Caudabe Sheath in Navy Blue, took 2 weeks to arrive to the UK, not sure if its a revised version or not, but it came via Holland.

All sides are fine apart from where the volume buttons are, its ever so sightly loose there, but to be honest its acceptable

Still amazes me that this case is rated at 2m drop tested, i think its the slimmest id like to go and have drop rated protection.

its a great case.

How do the buttons feel?

Mine was shipped with FedEx and already at the depot here. I love modern logistics, when it works.

I’m hoping the Decoded case works out. I’d rather not process a return to the Netherlands but it looks good from what little I’ve seen about it online.
