Just another update. I repurchased the OtterBox Symmetry+ with MagSafe, this one seems to be fine with my screen protector, and I like it! A little loose on the edge but no worse than some of the other cases i've had. I think ive found my case!

I just repurchased this yesterday at ATT since it’s cheapest there.

This one fits far better to the previous one I tried. Only looser tpu is at the bottom, over buttons is quite firm.

Buttons are better on this one too. Far superior to the Aneu

Pelican Shield G10 showed up today. First con symmetrical cutouts second con charge port opening is one tight mother. Rocker switch door is also very tiny and hard to operate.
Otherwise the tank is a decent case and turns your Pro Max into the SUPER MAX :oops: Case is HUGE, the G10 is of nice quality, sides a little slippery as they are hard plastic. Like last years Shield the phones edges are surrounded by a soft silicone border that will keep the sides and back scratch free. Buttons work perfect and have nice tactile feedback. Case fits perfect with my case friendly glass screen protector. No saggy bottom on this one.

They changed the 3 latch system to use the power, volume buttons and charge port for the latches. Last years latches were better IMO. I believe the phone will be 100% safe in this case for drops and other mishaps.
Those symmetrical cutouts though Here are some pics.

I will check it out. I don't use heavy duty cases a lot but when I need one this looks to fit the bill. Do you think you will keep yours? Or would you rather have a Defender or something?

I will keep it because it's cool. :cool: I won't use the Defender as the sides of the phone rub up against the hard plastic shell and will definitely scratch the shiny sides of the phone. The shield has a soft rubber liner where the actual phone edges come in contact with the case.
I'm already back in the Monarch case for today :oops:

Any chance the sharp/stiff edges of the Symmetry will scratch the shiny sides of the phone after taking the phone in and out a few times?

I am using the Baltic Blue leather case for my 12 pro max. Love it, but I wiped down my screen today with alcohol and noticed blue on the cotton pad. I assume that came from rubbing up against the edge of the leather case. Anyone else have that issue?

Did the Aneu have bad buttons for you? Mine feel about identical to a naked phone’s buttons. I like Otterbox’s MagSafe cases. I wound up with an Aneu because it seems easy to clean.

The tpu by the buttons was so loose it seemed to affect the buttons. Never laid flat. Don’t even get me started on the tpu at the bottom. Flimsy as heck.

My faves so far: Sheath, Totalee PB, and Spigen Quartz Hybrid. In that order. I have the new Totalee hard clear case coming next week. This year, I'm really partial to the minimalist cases.

Lol that is cool. I will likely keep it but hard to say since I won't have it until Friday according to UPS tracking. Good to know about the Defender, that is a hard pass for me.

Back in the Monarch? I sent mine back. :rolleyes:
 
Anyone running Cyrus Green case with Pacific Blue iPhone. Thinking of Cyrus Green and Saddle Brown wallet on Pacific Blue iPhone.
 
My Pelican G10 kind of looks gray in certain lighting or out in the sun. The SKU on the box is for the black one but I'm starting to wonder if the one I received is a gray one in the wrong box?

When anyone else gets their case please let me know if it's solid black or has a grey tint to it?

Here is a picture where it looks pretty gray :(
