If you want minimalist get this one:
Ooh, that looks pretty sweet. Kinda pricey, though, for having neither reviews nor free returns. Will keep an eye out for it though.
 
My navy came in, looks good with the black 12, black buttons, logo and around the camera black too. Feels a bit lighter than i was expecting. no problem on the bottom with pinky. Feels good and easy to pick up with the squared edges.
Lint not sure yet probably the killer lol. Nice change from all black, makes the phone seem bigger though.
 
Peel has clear cases. Two models. The first is a hard, clear case with cutouts for all of the buttons. The second is a softer, TPU clear case with all buttons protected. I'm thinking about the softer, TPU version, but I have to email them first to see if it's anti-yellowing / anti-bubbling.


The clear options are the last two in the color palette.

Did you ever hear back from them? I tried a very similar case with my iPhone X, but it didn’t have button coverings. I didn’t feel like that one was rigid enough to hold its shape and stay flush with the phone. I’d want to know how much better/different this one is.
 
Not boring! Are you still happy with it?
I love the white on white look. Yes, totally happy with it. I gave my X to my grandson with probably 20 cases to go with it. This year I vowed to not go silly buying so many when I tend to use the same couple of cases all the time.
 
I got the Apple MagSafe clear and a red silicone one. Returned the clear immediately after trying it on. As others have said, slippery, fairly ugly and the Apple logo was not centered in the white circle on mine. It was also more difficult to remove the phone compared to the silicone.

Pretty happy with the red silicone. I’m not having a lot of the lint magnet issues others have mentioned, it comes off easily, and grip is good enough. My only issue is I do have concerns that it might come off in a drop since the lower part sometimes pushes off when I take it out of my pocket.

Ive never really done phone cases before, but I have little kids now so I need one when they’re around. Will probably get a Sena leather sleeve for when they aren’t as that’s what I’ve used on all my previous phones.

I do have the same problem with my black silicon case. The phone pushess itself off from the left corner of the case, which starts to really bother me. I guess I need to get an other brand. Any suggestions for tight fitting cases?
 
I currently use the clear Ringke Fusion but sadly I am not fully satisfied with it...
I don’t like the sides of it.
Don’t know how to describe it correctly though but I try my best... The sides stick to the phone and you can see air pockets where the two don’t stuck together... just looks like a terrible applied screen protector in the old days... completely ruins the look of the steel frame...

I also have an ESR clear case at home (which has dotted sides so I guess my above mentioned problem should be solved with it) but after comparing the cases I don’t think the ESR one offers enough of a raised bezel when you use a screen protector...

I don’t understand why it’s so hard to design a nice looking clear case...

I also love my white Apple silicone case and I have a navy coming as well. I primarily use the silicone case, but I got the Smartish Clear Kung Fu Grip case & the Ringke Clear Fusion Matte to alternate for a different look. I've never used either of them before on previous phones and so far, I'm very pleased with both. The Smartish case provides great grip on the sides and the Ringke provides pretty decent grip on the back. I like that they are both different and not just a basic clear case. I recommend both.

I have one too. Only tried it once and took it off. I don’t like the feel of it as you put it on. Very squeaky and sounds like it might be scratching the sides. Also the sides of the case seem quite loose when the phone is in it. The dust and other gunk might get in there and scratch the phone.

I've used the Totalee Clear case, Caudabe Lucid Clear, and Spigen. The Caudabe provides the least amount of protection and is a little slippery when trying the rest your phone upright. But it is the only one that did not yellow.

The Spigen looked horrible after a couple months. My Totalee case I really like as it provides a bit more protection and is very grippy. It also yellowed after a few months, but it was not horrible.

I will probably go with the Caudabe Lucid Clear again. The iPhone 12 Pro looks so sleek its a shame to cover it up.

ESR clear case for the 12 is great. Also if you get it from amazing the retailer sends you a link to leave a review an than page you £12.99 to do so. Effectively paying you to buy the case.

lucky it was great so I left a good review. Wouldn’t have otherwise!
 
I have been using a Saddleback leather case for my iPhone Xs Max for almost 2 years, it is an absolutely terrific case and completely unique.
Can you share some pics please? Is it still holding the phone? There is a rumour that it doesn’t hold well after few months, we need more proof and defend if the product is great
 
My wife is using this clear case on her Gold 12 Pro Max. Great clear case for the price, comes as a 2 pack.

Rumor? For crying out loud, the case is 100% high quality leather, it is going to last longer than the phone. And it does continue to hold the phone tightly.

I had/still have one of these for my X iPhone. It was great - buttons were very responsive. I had no problem with it loosening up and coming off the phone. You have to love that bulky, rugged look. PM me if anyone wants my older case - will fit either X or XS. Offered for free; I’ll even pay for shipping in US 48.
 
In the end, I ended up with a Razer Arctech Pro and a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear cases for my iPhone 12. Given the wear complaints about both the Apple Leather and Silicone cases, I think I made the right choice.

Hmmmm. I’ve had the white Apple silicone case since launch day and it still looks like new. My husband has the product red one and his is pristine also.

Very kind offer.

If you post that in the Marketplace forum, you will have a much greater chance of someone expressing interest, I think. Just a suggestion!
 
Got a Pelican Protection Pack for $20 at Costco, for our 12 Pro Max’s we got there. Clear case and tempered glass. Buttons jiggle a little, but fine for now....
 
Has anyone successfully exchanged an Apple clear case for a new one because of the stress fractures at the bottom? I’ve heard that Apple regularly replaces silicone cases that have started peeling of breaking at the bottom corners.

Has it happened? Reckon they would/should.
