iPhone 12 Pro Who’s going caseless with the 12 Pro Max?

[ladytonya]

I am way too clumsy to go without a case! I used the LifrProof Next in my XS Max and using the same on my 12 Pro Max. I also always use a tempered glass screen protector. I broke the screen on one of my first iPhones and have used them ever since. Heck, the screen protector on my XS Mac is cracked so I’m glad it was that and not the screen itself! My new 12 Pro Max is at home, patiently waiting for me to get home from work!

I wish I could but would be too nervous! The phone is a gorgeous piece of jewelry! Just stunning but with a clear case it isn't bad. The shiny silver rim shows up nicely through the case as does the beautiful white back. So, I'm happy with the set up.

This thing is a beauty and I’d love to go caseless but...no. It’s hefty, slick, and I’m clumsy af. It’s going into a case.

I'm waffling between case/no case. Probably will cave after a few days and use a case like Totallee. I watched some of the drop/scratch tests online and it looks very promising, but not infallible.

Having used the 12 PM all day today, I absolutely will not be using it caseless. It is the most slippery back iPhone I have ever used in my 12 years of iPhone usage. Wow. This is slip-city on the frosted glass back. ?

Just a question if I will go skin or case now. I'm gonna try a few cases and I pre-ordered a DBrand skin today.

I’ve always gone caseless, but for some reason with this phone I don’t think I feel comfortable with that. I think it’s the weight and heftiness of it.

i ran the iphone 11 pro max naked with only screen protector. i also have apple care+ but never used it once. Never dropped my phone and it looks brand new even the steel bands doesnt have any scratch on them and they were the silver stainless steel ones.

I plan to do the same thing with 12pm also with apple care+

going naked this time... besides it’ll be replaced with a 13 in a year.

Cameras must get scratched up?

even if cameras get scratched pictures will be fine. its the glass on the body or dropping it you have to worry about

I’ve got the Baltic blue leather case from apple. Just something about going the official route.

I ordered that one. How is it?

I have the black  silicone case for my pro Max, but I have been naked since getting the phone, other than trying the case one for fit. Hasn’t been an issue, the square sides make the grip way easier. I will be using a case on it when I’m at work though. And I do have a screen protector on it.

 

[psy_duck]

I never put cases on my iPhones and definitely not putting one on my brand new gold 12 Pro Max! It is such a beaut, dont want to cover it up. Caseless is more satisfying for me IMO GL!

I’m using a case. Yall “it’s too beautiful for a case” people got me once when I kept mine naked and it tumbled and absolutely smashed the rear glass on my XS Max. Not today Satan. I’ll admire it in my bedroom, otherwise when I go out it’s going in a case.

I’ve got a really thin bumper on it right now but it felt better caseless.

When I go out it’ll be going in the Apple Leather case though.

It’s lovely. I do think a leather case suits the bigger iPhones better. Prior to this is was using the forest green apple leather case on the midnight green 11 pro max

I went careless yesterday and now my hands are sore. Its easier to hold, but the sharp edges are a strain

 

[GrandeLatte]

Just out of curiosity, since I've been browsing the Apple leather cases. Right now none of the colors really go with the gold pro max (they are all too winter-ish). Any chance Apple comes out with a new batch of colors sometime in the summer? Is this something they do?

Really ?

I‘ve gone caseless (but always with a screen protector right out the box) with my Xs Max and 11 Pro for about 50% of the time. But the PM 12 is such a hefty piece of phone, wowza.. I put a cheap (and not very good) silicone case and a screen protector on it right away. Ordered two new ones. Will try through some different ones until I’m happy with it. It’s a shame having to hide this beauty, so I’ll probably use a clear case in the end.

I'm curious about the Apple silicone cases. Are they slippery or sticky? Is the material at all similar to the silicone sport band on the Apple Watch? That would seem to be kind of slippery for a phone case.

I was looking at the silicone and the leather at the Verizon store and they wouldn't let me open one to feel it. Sadly we don't have an Apple Store nearby so going there isn't an option. I have used a LifeProof Next on my last 3 phones and with this phone I just feel like it's too much wider than the phone, it makes it really bulky in a way that I never noticed with my other phones.

My 12 Pro Max arrives tomorrow. I’ve been rocking my 11 Pro Max case less since I’ve been working from home. I like the feel of the phone without a case. I don’t want to add more weight to the 12 Pro Max as it’s already a big boi. I may search on Amazon for a case.

 

[kp98077]

depends on the "occasion" lol... around house = caseless. Out and about, sometimes a case... or in this case a very THIN case.... Pitaka.. etc... any other THIIN case recommendations??

 

[treyjustice]

I'm using an amazon case currently. I have AppleCare+ so will probably switch to careless eventually....

When I go out it’ll be going in the Apple Leather case though.

What bumper case do you have?
