To me the only issue was how wide that it felt. I would say like a Tech 21 from last year. Just skinny wide on the edges

Dbrand grip with with teardown skin.
Fits really well. Very low lip on the sides with a better lip at the top and bottom. Easy swipe version.
Buttons are very tactile.
Grip is almost too much as others have stated. I am sure it will pick up lint at least until the grip/static wears a bit. Feels like a fuzzy caterpillar if you rub the sides but not so much just holding it.
I found a 20% off code from a youtuber that has since expired but they may do a Black Friday deal.
Ordered Thursday and deliver today.

Yes it adds a little width to the phone but not too bad. Nothing like an OtterBox defender or in that category. But the overall feel is good and for me it’s comfortable and has a good grip.
the Otterbox Aneu is way better than the symmetry. Buttons are clicky as hell, no sag, nice textured back, and it does have that magsafe sticker but it works and it’s flush with the case.
Not a fan of this iteration of the Symmetry. Even tried the symmetry with MagSafe. Not a great case imo
Mujjo case is in. Very very nice and it’s made exactly like last years Apple saddle brown case. Definitely smells of real leather and feels just as nice. It feels totally different from this years Apple saddle brown. Sorry for the bad lighting, I’m not a camera buff. Heh...
Also, the buttons are 10 times better than Nomad’s. I still love my Nomad case though. It also has a decently raised lip on the entire front face so the case shouldn’t pop out like the Apple saddle brown does. Mine has quite a bit of tiger stripping which I love. So far, it’s a keeper.

I just got the black Apple Leather case for my gold 12PM. I love it! Feels great in hand. It does have enough lip to lay down flat with a glass screen protector. I love how I can see the gold around the front too. The only thing I’m going to have to get used to is no PopSocket. Which will probably only be an issue when I’m laying in bed.

Well that was short lived. Back in the Nomad. Just felt so naked with the thinner Mujjo. I’ll keep it and use it every now and then, but until then, it’s Nomad all the way.
Agreed on the Otterbox symmetry. Those have been my go to case for my past 4 iPhones but the one this year isn’t good.
I received the Catalyst Influence case today and I agree, this is a great case. It is not a minimalist case and has a little more bulk but it’s not bad and the phone has a good feel in my pocket or hand. I’m very careful with the phone but occasionally I can get clumsy and the phone will get away from me. I feel comfortable that this case would protect my phone from one of those “OH CRAP” moments. The buttons feel great and the front facing speakers are a nice touch.
I ordered a SolidSuit also which will be delivered tomorrow. I’ll use one of these two for when I want more protection than my Sheath case.
Agreed. I used mine for a day and returned it. As for the Aneu, I can't find it anywhere online. It seems sold out so it is obviously a pass lol.

Got my 12 pro pacific blue last Thursday and immediately put it in the clear pelican ranger case from casemate’s website. Bought 3 (for the whole fam) of them as it protected my previous iPhone through various vicious drops. And this new one I bought is no different. Actually bought the combo with the screen protector for $40 after using the discount of providing my email. Highly recommend it!
Still plan on buying the apple silicon case in white or plum eventually as well.

for some reason the buttons on this year’s symmetry are on the stiff side. the sides of the Aneu feel more sticky grip compared to the symmetry, since the whole side is rubber. and it doesn’t feel heavy at all, i do feel it is a bit overpriced. Only reason i bought it is because i bought a watch band and returned it and didn’t have the receipt, but they let me exchange it for anything in the store LOL.
pardon my nails 🤢😂
Thanks, did you see the blue one in store? blue back and has black sides/front and yellow buttons.
yes! matches perfect with the PB color. You can always call and see if they are in stock at the apple store, the app won’t show any stock if there’s less than 5 in stock in the store.
Im curious, I bought the symmetry and returned it due to the lip of the case lifting my screen protector. Is the lip any smaller on the Aneu?
Darn, ok! Thank you! It honestly was a microscopic amount of clearance that was causing the problem, but even moving the screen protector didn't make a difference.
i think mines only works because i have a otterbox screen protector as well 😂
