And let me know if it in-fact wrecks your signal like I’d expect? LOL

WTF is DBrand doing? Apparently you can’t purchase the grip case now and when you go to the product page, it just says “come back 12/12”. Are they even interested in selling a case? What a stupid sales model.
I ordered just last night the matte black skin for my 12PM! It’s dumb of them to keep customers waiting, looks like they are just bouncing off big YT names to get sales. The MKBHD theme stuff is a total ripoff.

And rubbish. I expected better from him than just a skin whereas other top you tubers are making proper products.
 
I use Totallee cases, and i always buy an Apple leather one each year. Really love how slim the totallee one feels but i really want that brown leather to age..

I use the 12 Pro Max in graphite.

Got the spigen liquid air in blue today. Fit is great, as you’d expect. But it’s a bit sloppy. Hoping that wears off.

Can anyone recommend a super thin case that gives good grip? I don’t mean like the ultra thin totallee cases. But basically one that just adds minimal bulk and grip.

Tech21 evo check.

I always have a leather and a silicone, Grabbed the Apple Silicone last night and it feels darn good compared to previous years.

Not sure if its some placebo effect because of the flat sides or what? I hate the term "buttery soft" but that's how it is kind of feels...as always, this has a great grip, this would slip out of my hands, especially this time of year when my hands are dry! Will it still attract lint? Yes..yes it will.

Baltic Blue, love it.

(The other case is a very thin Casekoo model. Still on the fence about this...love the color - it is "Pacific Blue" and kind of has this color shift thing happening on this like the phone. Grip is ok. But I do fear the inside of this case MAY scratch the sides a bit. I have a clear case coming tomorrow)

*I have to calm down with my case fetish! 😆

Not sure if the $25. off is all weekend or only today.
Looks like UAG is out of the blue Monarch but it's available on Amazon with a $5.00 off coupon. Plus Amazon is easier to return if there is a problem.

Ended up going with the black leather. The blue looks cool, but was afraid of scratches. I forgot I had some Amazon credit, so got it for about 30 bucks. Should be here Monday. Will keep you posted.
 
If anyone is on the lookout for a nice thin tpu case then I suggest the Tech21 Evo Slim.

Pros:
- thin yet protective
- firm fit
- ample lip
- perfect cutouts
- no fingerprints
- textured sides for grip

Cons
- none IMO
Two questions about this case

1. Does the side bend out a little bit when it’s on the phone (can you see it move if you press below the volume or power button)?
2. Does the lip go into the screen at all (interfere with screen protectors)?
 
Has anyone ever tried one of these cases? The prices are insane though.

I know right. I wanted to try one cause they look slim and protective, and cool but the price tag is a big no no.

1. No movement. Buttons are floating and removable.

2. Yes, lip goes into screen significantly - similar to the evo check case. It doesn’t interfere with mine however it will most likely interfere with an edge to edge screen protector.

Totally agree. I mean even with the sale the prices are insane. I don't know anyone that has owned one but figured I would post up here about them.
 
Picked up the UAG Outback case (olive).

The buttons on this thing are perhaps some of the worst I have ever experienced. The final fit is also a bit off with the metal frame of the phone viewable in some places and not viewable in other places. The case still fits tightly to the phone though.

Despite the above I haven’t taken the case off my phone since buying it because in the in-hand feel of the case is so damn good.
