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

[KentuckyHouse]

Right but you said the rubber lines on the back are gone. But they are there in the pic.

They’re not the same TPU as what’s around the screen and inside the case now. That’s what they meant. The “grip lines” on the back are the same material as the rest of the case now (they’re hard plastic, not softer grippy TPU).

Purchased the Tech21 Evo Check today at Best Buy for $19.99 and it's a great case for the money. Very tight fit, excellent buttons, good grip, overall a fantastic case for the 12PM. Tech21 added a little texture to the sides this year for a better grip. It also comes with 2 sets of different colored buttons which are interchangeable. It's a little tight getting the phone into the case but once it's in you don't have to worry about it falling out. One of the best $19.99 cases you will find.

Here are a couple of pictures of the smokey black on my graphite 12PM. Sorry the pics suck as I have no lighting or camera at my current location.

Thanks for this! Does it make the phone wider at all? Been eyeballing this case now but after your review and the price drop, may go for it..

Yea, a little wider but nothing I can't live with. This is a well made case. I've had the Tech21 Evo Check for past phones and it did not thrill me, this one is so much better than the previous versions. They also have the blue version of this at Best Buy on sale.

Awesome, thanks! Going to grab the blue one

Can you let us know how it feels in a couple of days? I had this exact same case on my 11 pro and it felt really greasy after about a week. 😕

 

[DianaMR]

Only have 1. The white one is nice. Soft like silicone soft. No lint. I got it for style but it would protect from scratches.

Can you post a pic? I have the white Apple Silicone but not happy with the color and don’t know if it’s defective or just this years shade of white. It looks dirty. I even tried to wash it and that didn’t help. Is the white on your case really white?

I'll probably be out of it before a couple days go by. I am definitely noticing some fingerprints on the back already.

Going to order the UAG Monarch and can't decide between the black carbon or black leather? What you think?

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.

Caudabe will send you the updated version of the sheath, if you ask them to. Mine did not fit correctly, and they have now sent me a replacement from the newer batches. Others have said that the new version fits perfectly.

That’s a tough choice. I’m partial to leather, but black carbon looks tough!

Do tell.

How is the grip? Buttons?

Buttons have super good feedback; comes with a few other colors in pack! Definitely not a bar of soap but absolutely not a Speck Grip; somewhere in between. For any case the squared sides help me with grip. At $20 this is a dang good case. Maybe not end all end all... but at a $20 it’s a bargain. FOT posts some pics and thoughts above, too.

The blue is gorgeous. I’m sold, grabbing one before it goes back to the regular $40 pricing.

I’m rocking the black carbon. Grease and fingerprints don’t show on this years version.
Sagging around charging port though

They aren’t rubber. They are hard plastic now.

Saggy Bottom, I don't like that

Thanks for the clarificaiton. Guess I will pass this years model.

Well was about to pull the trigger until you said fingerprints.

As for UAG, black leather.

😍 It’s gonna look amazing with my white 12. Just ordered, says it’ll be here Friday but hoping sooner. Thanks for the pics and the review!

Fingerprints definitely collect on the back.

That looks nice. Would prefer a sale.

I only have the black Apple leather for my 12 PM so far. Looking for a more rugged case but it seems a lot of the third party cases are kind of crap this year. Wish Nomad had better buttons.

The only downside is it definitely shows some fingerprints on the back.

This is a super bummer. Why the heck would they change it after all these years?
