I’m also got the smartish armour case. Amazing grip but more bulky than their standard grip case.

Case turned up today, really happy with it! The California poppy really pops.

Happy with my ESR screen protector and a “Torras” case (£15) from Amazon Uk.
The back is translucent so you can just about make out the Apple logo. It comes with black buttons as standard and a packet with yellow and red replacements. I swapped the buttons for red as it gives the case a bit of contrast ( and helps identify which is the top 😁)
Only downside is the matte black back tends to show smudges.

So, is there no way to order the DBrand Grip case without also buying a skin for the case?

The other day I checked some other phones (Note 20 Ultra, Pixel 4 XL, etc), and you could still select to buy just the case with no skin. Now it seems DBrand has changed things to where you’re required to buy a skin when you buy a case no matter what phone you select.

Seems kinda crappy to make me spend an extra $10 for a skin I don’t want or need.

Is anyone actually getting the apple leather sleeve that’s available now?
Now they reeeeeeally remind me of something.... 😇🤔

Seriously though, I'm waiting to see how the phone actually fits in those cases and if they make the whole thing bulkier or not. I still can't figure out the use of the little leash that comes with the case.

I think it functions like a wristlet. Having it at the ready, rather than in a pocket, means one less unsheathing maneuver. So having the leash is both a signifier that your got the hot item and a functional convenience.
Like you also wondering about the use case. I think it’s for the sleeve lovers primarily but I could see the convenience of having a card carrying function, and ability to fit a phone with a case on, as being attractive to potential converts.

Using the iPhone 12 mini I only have three cases (rookie numbers).

- Spigen Liquid Air
- Pitaka Air Case
- Apple Leather

All three of these cases have been awesome but I think my favorite is between the Pitaka and Apple leather.
Is the pit ska mostly for scratch protection, or do you feel like it’ll also provide some drop protection?

I went for the apple silicone case in black.
I have tried Rinkee and Otterbox symmetry. Found the symmetry buttons way to easy to catch 🤩

LOS ANGELES BABY!!
Can you post some pictures showing the Symmetry case with Magsafe? Please show the interior of case as I would like to see how Otterbox implemented the Magsafe.
Hi.
I really like this case. It’s a very tight fit but the buttons work great and it’s really a slim case. Here is how the MagSafe is on the inside of the case. The MagSafe charging is just like on my leather apple MagSafe case. For me this is a keeper. The symmetry seems more streamlined than before. I am very pleased with the case and highly recommend it.

When I had the 11 Pro I used the same Pitaka case as well and really it was mostly for added grip. I did drop the phone once or twice and I never had any issues with using the Pitaka for that. It’s not so much for scratch protection I just like the feel mostly.

does the rubber material near the volume and power buttons sag?

Thanks for the pic. Is that just a sticker stuck to the inside of the case or is it imbedded into the plastic?

It’s doesn’t really seem to be a sticker. It seems to be placed inside. It seems like it’s got an indentation where it goes. It does not feel like a sticker to me. It definitely feels like it is embedded into the plastic because I can feel that indentation where it goes. The MagSafe connection is just as strong as on my leather apple MagSafe case as I can pick it up from the cord. And for those of you that complain like I did about how short the cord is on the Apple magsafe charger I just went on to Amazon and bought an extension for it for like I think $11 so the the cord is not so short.

Just received mine today. So sleek.

After getting a Caudabe Sheath and Apple leather Saddle brown case for my 12 PM, I decided to order the black silicone and Baltic Blue leather. I have only ever used the Apple leather cases on my previous iPhones. I never even held the silicone before. I’m very impressed with the black silicone. It feels great in my hands and does not pick up lint or dust. It’s a keeper.

The Baltic blue is going back. I guess I was expecting a different shade of blue. I’m keeping the Saddle Brown and Black Silicone. It’s too late to return my Sheath. The Sheath is a great case and if it wasn’t for the defect, I would probably be using it and not explore other cases. If only I had just ordered the Apple cases initially.
