Hello everyone,
I'm about to upgrade to the new iPhone 12. Been rocking a XR since launch currently out of warranty, battery at 79%, camera has dust inside it, cracked corner. Oh well, it was the most reliable phone I've ever had, I still love it to death but I've decided it's time to upgrade.
Over the years I collected like 15 cases for it: Adidas case, Mous wood case, fake silicon apple cases in a bunch of colors, clear cases, thin fit from spigen, some funky cases from aliexpress with patterns etc.
But in the last year I've been adopting a pretty minimalist approach regarding all my purchases (won't get into much detail but I've reduced my tech items in 90% for example). Therefore, I decided I would like to challenge myself into buying 1 case for the iPhone 12 and try to stick with it for minimum of 1 year or more! This will be a fun experiment and a good way to reduce unnecessary dispose of materials.
I'll be honest, I won't put a price tag on this case: I'll accept every recommendation dropped here regardless of price.
However, this are some considerations I already have thought of (feel free to argument them if need be):
- Clear cases, either good brand or off brand, always turn yellow and disgusting. Therefore I'm not considering them;
- I've only experienced the fake Silicon Apple cases from Ali, and those tend to turn to garbage so quickly. I'm not sure about the real deal, but I have the slight impression that the Silicon doesn't hold very well;
- No extremely thin or barely there cases... I still need a decent amount of protection.
I'll be pairing the case with a Spigen Glass screen protector.
My XR was black and I've decided to switch things up a bit this time around, I'm still struggling to decide between the white and the blue, mostly because the blue is a lot different from the 12Pro blue which I absolutely love.
Please let me know what you recommend. Let's play this like a "If you could only take one case for your iPhone to a desert island" kinda game
Happy New Year everybody!
Well I went with blue and I love it!
Recently acquired a smartish case but also have a slim Ringke onyx case and a sup case unicorn beetle case for trips where I don’t want to drop and smash my phone.
The smartish blue I particularly like alongside my blue phone.
This is good for me. I don’t plan to buy any additional cases for as long as I have the device. My only gripe is the sup case I got in black right at launch, they then released further colours later so I’m resisting the temptation to buy another colour...
(Just seen you made the choice! A good one at that)!
