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

[jkel777]

Silk Smartish Kung Fu Grip. Very underrated case. Feels great and doesn’t leave fingerprints. I’ve had them on my last 3 phones.

Same, however I'm not impressed with it this year. Kind of a bummer to be honest...

I purchased the same one. I’m finding the power and volume buttons pretty hard to press... Never had problems with their previous cases.

Because of this. The buttons are so hard to press. Never had this issue on their previous cases.

$90AUD for the UAG Monarch this year here, seems like all have gone up, must be covid tax.

Really disappointed with the UAG Pathfinder case for iPhone 12 / 12 Pro this year. I always get Pathfinder or Plasma cases from them, and this year the quality took a big dive.

The edge / lip at the top and bottom is very flexible and doesn't sit flush with the phone. I returned it.

Agree 100%. I had the same case on my xs and it was great. iPhone 12 not so much.

After being disappointed with the UAG Pathfinder case, I decided to go with Otterbox. Couldn't decided between the Commuter and the Symmetry, but decided to go with the Symmetry because it is quite a bit thinner, and I generally don't need the extra protection.

The UAG cases always look like this to me

Really disappointed in the Caudabe Sheath on the 12 Pro. Ive had the Sheath for the 11 Pro and X and both were perfect fits.. this one not so much. The sides don’t seem to fit as you can see the silver. I’m hoping this just may be a QA issue and if they replace it through their warranty, hope that fits better.

Wow the symmetry looks really good on the pro. I’ve been thinking of picking one up for my regular 12.

 

[Seanz25]

Have picked one of these up, why are you sending it back out of interest?

Mous Limitless 3.0 Leather. Most likely going back. Will keep the screen protectors though.

How are you liking it from your 11 pro if you can remember?

Its bent in the middle just like the one i had last year. Plus im not keen on cut outs.

Ordered and received the Liquid Crystal from Spigen for the 12 Pro. Just waiting for the phone which should be here Monday according to UPS.

So, has anyone tried MagSafe with any of these 3rd party cases, yet? That’s the one thing that stopped me from buying the charger so far.

 

[nrvous1]

Not to bad man. It feels like it weighs the same. It’s a bit taller than I remember, but reading and texting is much easier on a bigger phone. The battery life so far seems to be about the same. How about you? Have you noticed any differences from the previous model that stand out to you?

I am still on the fence, not sure if i want a 12 or the mini, you'd notice the weight if still had the 11 pro, 12 is 14% lighter. 2.6mm taller.
I checked out cases side by side yesterday and the mini is heaps smaller, tough call i just want lighter.

I have one for my 12 Pro. Perfect fit. You really have to snap the phone into the case around the corners and sides because it is a tight fit.

Just picked up the speck presidio grip today since the leather is not out yet. Hands down the best fitting case I’ve ever used on an iPhone. Absolutely 0 budge anywhere on the case. Previous models of this case had some near the bottom and buttons. Speaking of buttons, the best feedback I’ve felt as well. Totally impressed.

Isn’t the middle meant to curve in to be flush with the screen?

Also, did you mention you’re not returning the screen protectors that came with the case or were they a seperate purchase?

 

[Mr.C]

Does that spigen screen protector covers the notch. I cant find one that covers the notch for 12 pro. Only 12 pro max available on amazon

These cover the notch and are pretty good.

Didn’t I see a slip on iPhone 12 case in the Apple event? That is a case that slips over the phone with a window to see the time. I can not find this in the Apple store.

Yes

 

[JeepGC]

I’m still waiting for my Apple Clear MagSafe case to ship, so I went to Best Buy this morning and bought a Speck Presidio 2. As expected, it doesn’t work well with the MagSafe charger otherwise I’d cancel my order for the clear case.

 

[Mr.C]

I hope you’re right even though they both have the 6.1 display, the iPhone 12 has different dimensions as shown below.

I don’t like the Spigen and Belkin ones as they have a notch.

I’ve got the ESR one on my iPhone 12 Pro and I’m really happy with it! Looks and feels like almost no protector is on it.
I used the ESR protector on my iPad Pro and iPhone X, so I trusted them for my iPhone 12 Pro. Im glad I did!

 

[iFone88]

For anyone waiting for the Apple leather cases, I have just found that ESR have black and blue genuine leather cases available; https://www.esrgear.com/products/iphone-12-12-pro-metro-premium-leather-case/

I have checked few YouTube videos and Amazon reviews of them from previous models and they seem really good for a snippet of the cost of an Apple case (I don’t care for MagSafe).

If you shop about you can pick them up cheaper. I’ve just ordered a blue one off an eBay seller for £20. I’ll report back when I get it

 

[iFone88]

Amazon UK also have Mujjo cases in stock. Ie, easy returns if you don’t like them.
