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

[iApple_man]

Got a new Torras case today for the mini. $18 but it’s worth it as it’s a soft feel and the lip don’t stick out as much. Very niceee 👌

Yeah that blue out of stock. Nice tho.

Clear cases don’t do justice for the black phones, but this one does. Spigen rugged for my black mini. This convinced me to keep the black lol.

Where the power and volume buttons and charging port, do the lip of rubber give easily so dirt etc can get into the case easily?? Is it hard to peel back the corners when you take phone out of case?

I have two cases for my new iPhone12PM.

My first case was the RedPepper Designed case. It is a clear back, with black surroundings. It does come with a front screen cover as part of the 2 piece case. Overall it is a nice case.

• Good protection, decent grip.
• The downfall is it doesn't keep dust and all out of the back as good as it should and it's a little bulky.
• I feel the camera opening should have some TPU or silicone around to help seal out the dust.
• Fingerprints are bad as well.
• While some like the camera cutouts on the front screen protection, I find this just allows more dirt/dust in. I would have liked it better if it was more like Lifeproofs.
• RedPepper Designed

The second, which came today, is the Mous Limitless 3.0 Aramid Fiber. I just put this on, but here are some of my observations thus far...

• The case is tight-fitting and compared to the RedPepper, it is thin.
• While everything tells you this should be a protective case, I was expecting a little more TPU or silicone on the inside.
• I was also expecting a bit more Aramid fiber - it feels like a lot of plastic ad the Aramid Fiber is just "window dressing"
• No banana boat on mine. Completely flat.
• I prefer more of a lip around my screen for drops and protection. I know that Mous was not made this way, but I would have liked a little more of a lip on the top and bottom.
• Port openings are nice but symmetrical. Not the worst, but when paying this much for a case, they could have been made to match the phone and give more protection.

I also have the Catalyst Influence coming on Saturday.

The problem with Mous I think is that the buttons have slits/perforation to make them click BUT allows dirt/dust into the case... thus scratching the sides of phone.

barely any sag and no actually it is easy to take off

Does anyone have the Incipio grip? If so do you like it?

I do. Very firm case, but the grips are a hard plastic, so can be quite rough on the hands.

 

[TheKerremenke]

Here are my original cases. Product red and Baltic blue leather and Plum silicone. Fit nicely with my Baltic blue wallet and Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro.

I just received my caudabe sheath replacements. They have a much tighter fit around the phone, as well as the power and volume buttons stick out further for much easier access. Big improvement from the first generation in my opinion.

 

[Ipadlover29]

Just picked up the tech 21 evo clear. Nice grippy feel, buttons are easy to press, slim, but hard to take off. Have the evo check coming in the mail so will have to compare the two.

Rhinoshield is having some good deals on Amazon. 20% off plus and extra 10% for almost all 12 models

 

[bubulol]

Hey does anyone have non transparent magsafe case?
I mean neither clear case nor Apple official cases

 

[TheKerremenke]

Yes I have. This one. In green instead of leather. But then from AliExpress for less than half the price. Magnet works, but official are much better. Both quality as the strength of the magnets.

Would you mind posting a picture of your MagSafe case with the wallet attached from the side? I’m curious how much depth it adds to the phone.

Thanks!

Off course. Here you go. With silicon case and MagSafe wallet attached.

I am getting a 12 Pro soon. What clear cases are best? I am in between the Speck Presidio and Tech 21 Evo clear. I prefer a clear case with a lip so the screen is protected.

Apple Clear case is the clearest all around.

Walmart has a good clear gel case for $4.88: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/12-walmart-clear-case.2271769/

Thanks! Do you notice the wallet a lot? Does it make the phone harder to hold? That’s what I’m curious about. It’s so hard to gauge new products these days, since it’s impossible to touch anything before buying.

 

[asleep]

a little bit, if you put pressure on the left top side.

Apparently varies by model, this video looks like Otterbox Anue has no wobble on the Mini.

How are the buttons on the Aneu? Grip? Any sag at all? Thinking about picking one up. Thanks.

Off course you’ll notice it. But in a good way.
When in my pockets I don’t even know it’s there. Like wearing a wallet without knowing. Screen is then to the inside facing my body.
When in my hand it’s like a iPhone 3G. With it rounded back. The case makes it feels slightly thicker but because of the form it’s very nice to hold.
I can recommend it. But beware of the limitations. You can find those in every review. I can recommend this review.

Thank you, that’s interesting they look like soft rubber

I still can't decide, my Amazon delivery date is now a day later (at least) because of it. 😅

For the Mini was going to go with Nomad Rugged but the lip isn't high enough above the screen for me.

Then I had the Otterbox Anae locked & loaded but read a few very negative reviews on it here, and there seems to be some question about compatibility with screen protectors.

IIRC Speck matte finishes have always rubbed off after a little use so Presidio2 Pro is out.

I won't do anything clear or shiny clear... matte all black is my preference. Don't want camera bump wobble, do want at least some drop protection.

I invest more time buying <$50 cases than I do >$700 phones. 😑

The DBrand Grip might fit what you’re looking for. I don’t have it yet, but from what I’ve seen, it shouldn’t have any camera wobble (someone that has it can correct me if I’m wrong). Matte black, great grip (I have the updated version on my Note 20 Ultra with the more grippy sides and love it), and you can always use it with or without a skin (I tend to use them without a skin). The drop protection is great, and I actually love the way they raise the top and bottom bezels but lower them on the edges of the screen to make swiping easier.

An aliexpress shop that sells under the counter on Aliexpress, official magsafe silicone case
Unfortunately after 11.11 they randomly send the color
I ordered 3 then two weeks ago i found they canceled my shipment
They argued it was out of stock and i opened litige which i ve won
In meantime, i ordered a Magsafe charger from this store, it a knock off, bad one, package is really similar if you dont look closer
I am glad they refund me and canceled shipment
But at same time, Apple magsafe silicone cases are so expensive tho
I hope i can find good magsafe case under 20/25 eur/usd which is my psychological price

Got my Caudabe Lucid Clear. It is so thin and very clear! Has also a lip if you want to set your phone face down. My iPhone has a screen protector too.

Got mine too and already have a scratch in the top inside right corner from taking case off and on. Had the same problem last year with my 11.
