Pro max version not available until Jan 27th
What the heck, Spigen? Is it really that hard to upscale an existing case? Jeez.
I will keep it because it's cool.
I'm already back in the Monarch case for today
I’ve been using Defenders for years, that doesn’t happen. I’ve never had scratches on my phones and I am rough on them
Guess it's similar to last years, good buttons again? Bit heavier with magsafe though? Some don't like the smooth back but i did.
This is my second one. First one was a dud. Fit is much better as are the buttons. Not heavy by any stretch
It's a BEAST, please let us know how you like it?
Makes my Note 20 Ultra seem small

I like big cases sometimes And when I get tired of it I just take it off and put on a thinner one for the day. But it’s always good to have one thick case

Please report back on your opinion. A little concerning that it doesn’t mention anything about drop protection, and the case isn’t on the Spigen website. They also released a core armor case that is sold at best buy with no mention on the Spigen site either.
Waiting on a Pitaka Air for my Pro Max. Have the MagEZ now but picked up the Air Black Friday and curious how it can be thinner and lighter. Mag EZ is very nice and if I used the magnetic attachments I might stick with it but I don’t so Air has me very interested. Looks like it should arrive this week.
The Air Case is incredible, I prefer it over the MagEZ but I also never used any of the accessories with my 11 PM.
The Air feels nicer and has a finer fiber weave, it just feel amazing in hand. Somehow, it makes the 12 Pro Max feel smaller and much easier to handle. It's definitely the best case out there of this type.
That said, I also ordered during black Friday and received the case, however, there is a defect in the design. If you charge via cable, the case prevents the lighting cable from going all the way in, it still work but sticks out maybe 1mm.
I've contact their support, they are aware of this and will be shipping me another one with the tweaked design, so make sure to check that on yours.
Does your white case look dirty? Mine does. Didn’t notice it right away. I thought it was the lighting then I took it outside and it still looked dirty so I’m sending mine back. Just wondered if they were all that way.
Picked up the California Poppy case for my Pro Max in pacific blue. Was hesitant at first but once I put the case on in person, it’s gorgeous. Waiting on the Baltic Blue, nowhere near me has any in stock.
I am using the MagSafe to charge overnight but will try plugging in the cable to check once the Air arrives. Thanks for the heads up. No issue with the MagEZ as I just checked it.
Does the Mous Clarity have symmetrical cutouts?
EDIT: it has symmetrical cutouts, just saved $79.99

Picked up a Black Symmetry Magsafe, i am comparing against a sheath my only other case ATM.
Buttons are so good similar to Apples leather, I thought my sheaths were ok but nope.
Obviously bit bigger. Magsafe is excellent. No camera bump lays flat and doesn't slide around.
Overall same as 11 pro version, maybe back had a bit more texture on it.
On a winner i think.
Another thing I've noticed is the sides go out and taper back a bit so it's better for swiping, not a straight up finish on the sides near the screen, if makes sense.

iPhone 12 PRODUCT RED (with textured back skin) on my fav cheap Chinese case (50 cents USD)
After trying Pitaka and official cases, I’m still a sucker for this cheapy case .
I have Applecare so F covering up the red side accent. Obviously, the phone would great if the whole phone was as dark red . Maybe next year

No it still looks good. However I do wipe it down ofte. to keep the lint off. It has gotten better at picking up the lint which I had heard is the case.(no pun intended).
