The same carbonthat cases are available from AliExpress for much much cheaper!
Got a link can't see them? I see similar but not the same, you could be right though as i read on a forum here people reckon they get them from aliexpress cheap and sell fro $60-75AUD.
Bit shady if so, i just returned the Kevlar and they refunded, their screen protector too is the first one i have ever had a deep scratch on.

Got my Cyrus Green Silicone today. Instantly ditched my Plum case. Love this color plus it makes the pacific blue camera bit pops out even more.

Gorgeous!! Funny, I had a plum too and returned it, then decided to try it again and get the Deep Navy. It’s now my main case and I haven’t switched cases in a week. Think I’m going to grab the Cyprus next as the ship dates were so far out when I went to order the Deep Navy.

So Sal, what are your favorite cases this year? Apple Leather & Silicone?
To be honest I keep going back to Apple Silicone cases. To me it just feels right with felt inside and them bottom cut outs I like a lot. I know people complain about it being lint magnet but if you are like me who got tens of micro fibre clothes and boxes of wet wipes lying around the house you can always give it a wipe now and then. And yes they are overpriced even with 10% discount lol. I bought Ringke, Spigen, Esr and Mous. All returned.
I tried going back to Baltic Blue Leather case yesterday but within an hour I was back in Apple Silicone.
I will give Otterbox Symmetry a try once I see more pics and review posted here.

Anyone try the Presidio armory cloud 2? It is on a massive sale by me for 50% off. Reviews are decent, but white cases typically aren’t my thing
Where are you seeing 50% off?

Case is pretty big but should handle any fall. The back will eventually scratch and its a little slippery. But at 50% off... I might go back to it.

AT&T wireless has it for $30.

I picked it up to try. The white is fingerprint prone, but it’s a tank for sure. Great fit and buttons

Out of curiosity, what do you mean about the edges? Are they loose? Saggy? Or what?

The edges are a little saggy at the power button and lightning port. The rest of the edges have relatively little give.

However, the thing that bugs me is that you can see the phones aluminium/steel frame around the bezel in certain places and you can’t in other places.

Also, the case has no grip on the sides and it has symmetrical cutouts at the bottom

Perfect. Thanks for the info. You just saved me $45. I appreciate it!

No problem mate. I have 11 cases atm (lol) and the iPhone 12 Bellroy case is probably my least favourite.

It’s a shame because I love Bellroy wallets (I have 3) and their Google Pixel 3 case was my favourite case of all time.

Haha, I think I’m up to 7 cases so far with 3 more on the way. And I’ve returned 5 or 6 so far. Cases are tough this year. And the Bellroy I had for my Pixel 4 XL was one of my favorite cases too. It’s a shame the iPhone one this time around isn’t great.

Never tried one but have had my eye on it. It is not showing a sale for me though. It is 60 bucks.

Just ordered it last night with the "Free" shipping which is that FedEx Smart post. This is the slowest shipping in America :( probably be about 10 days before it shows up.

My time table is off. I thought you ordered it a few day ago lol.

Looks like the Pelican will be here on Thursday now. We shall see.

Just ordered a clear otterbox symmetry and moonwalker otterbox symmetry for my graphite iPhone 12 Pro.

Anyone have any comments or impressions on these cases yet?
