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

Torres or nudient cases

Not a fan of them as they have those ugly slits at the bottom to make it easier to put cases on/off - I want something smooth all the way around. I considered Caudable, Peel etc but they are too thin and I HATE frosted/transparent cases...

No idea why no one has made a simple frame to put on phone to help protect edges better, I have glass on front and back just want a nice metal style frame that looks like the original frame on the iPhones - there’s some good bumpers made of Aluminum but they have horrible raised parts and it looks horrible lol

So been using a Speck Presidio Grip 2 on my 12 PM. Not bad. I don't mind the lack of rubber on the back. It is so far not a deal breaker for me. It makes the phone feel a little bit wider, but nothing to drastic. I am thinking about getting a California Poppy Apple leather if I can snag a sale from someone before the end of the year.

The Pelican is still showing delivery for this Friday. We shall see.

A mag safe compatible Spigen

Is it usual for Spigen to release a case on Amazon that they don’t have on their own website?

I HATE frosted/transparent cases...

You’re like the anti-me...haha. I can’t stand crystal clear cases and gripe that more case companies don’t make cases with frosted backs.

I can’t imagine being a case company and trying to please all of us!

Ok, so I received my replacement black Caudabe Sheath today and they’ve made it perfect! They seem to have made the case just a hair deeper, so no bowing out around the edges and it actually snaps on the phone now. Buttons are kinda meh, but I can fix that by making a slit down the long sides of them with a razor blade.

Also received the electric blue Sheath today, and it’s the updated version as well, so no worries there. I’ll post some pictures of both later.

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

Can you share the link?
I would like a non- textured but otherwise similar design for my 12PM if available.

This was my question as well. Seems like such a strange business model. The case looks interesting, but I need to see some feedback before buying. They did this for the Core Armor as well which is sold as BestBuy.

Mine is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday. I'm glad to hear about the fitment but disappointed to hear about the buttons. I watched a review on YouTube that echoed your assessment, too. I purchased three Sheath cases for my XS Max. The first one had awesome buttons, but I gave it to my crush. The second and third ones were a little bit more stiff. I'm starting to worry that the 12 Pro Max Sheath might be the stiff version.

Yeah, the fitment is spot on now. The buttons, after just a couple of hours on the phone, seem to be loosening up a bit, but I'll update after a day or so. They're not terrible, but out of the box they're not as clucky as I'd like either.

Here's a few pictures of the black and the electric blue. I'm really liking both of them so far.

Yeah i agree on the buttons, not Nomad bad but not as clicky as the apple leather or OB symmetry, last one i had for a XR was better, i pushed them out a bit with the plastic end of a nail file seems a bit better, other than the fit is perfect.

Returning my OB Symmetry it's too slippery, i was a defender of this case last year when some complained about that but this years is worse, especially the back. Even sides don't seem as good and has a small sag on bottom.
No idea why they have changed it.

Case makers this year really suck.

Got a link for that video?

 

[Hooterville]

Going to order a Symmetry. Should I get the Magsafe or regular version?

Is the Magsafe one thicker on the back?

 

[geekiemac]

Just received my revised sheath. Buttons are even better on this build (more tactile, on par with Apple leather case). Fit is even more snug, in a good way.

I got my replacement Sheath today. Fully confirm the above. Buttons are really good compared with the previous unit, but not yet as click-y as the Apple cases. Overall fit is snug, no bulging sides. And it passed the pinky test: the cutouts are smooth and have rounded edges. This one's definitely a keeper.

That electric blue is SWEET !

Plastic lip becoming detached from the apple leather case and a gap is appearing. Is this a common issue? View attachment 1683178 View attachment 1683179 View attachment 1683180

Not cool. I don't have this issue with my saddle brown leather case which I use on a daily basis.

Guys, i am torn between Apple Silicone VS Leather case
Do you think leather case worth it?
I m little bit hesitating about silicone lifespan, i know leather case can patinate overtime
What do you think?

I have both and while I really like the silicone one, I definitely prefer the leather case, from an overall fit / comfort perspective, how it holds in the hand... it just feels better. The leather is so soft. Besides, the fact that it's not a lint magnet like the silicon cases is highly appreciated.

Not sure if thicker, magsafe charger leaves a white ring on the back, have to use moisture to wipe it off, doesn't happen on the sheath.

 

[DianaMR]

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).

Try laying it on something white. Maybe my eyes are just dirty. I tried cleaning mine but didn’t help it and I didn’t even use it.

They are not bright white like the older cases were. They’re a little off white.

I didn’t see a size difference personally.

Also, at ATT they are the same price $50. I’d go with the mag safe for the same price.

Does the Symmetry case have a saggy bottom?

 

[AE14]

Not at all. I have the 12 pro, so the smaller size makes it easier to grip

It has give, but not nearly as bad as years past IMO

I have the 12, seems more slippery than last years 11 pro version ?‍♂️
