It's obviously rather early in the game for a new iPhone form factor, but I've been using a scratched 11 for a year on account of being slow to get a new case and dropping it three days after I bought it, so...
I'm looking for a wallet case option for the 12 Pro that:
Hated it, returned it, and got a Pad & Quill Bella Fino, which I don't like quite as much style-wise, but is still really nice.
I was really hoping they would revise the BookBook vol. 2 this year to fix what I hated, but they have preview photos up and it looks like no luck there (too bad--they could have used MagSafe to omit the phone shell entirely and turn it into a perfect case). And from the looks of the preview photos of the Bella Fino, it's been revised this year so now it has the stupid fat button-covering outer ring as well. Foo.
I really love the feel of Apple buttons, I really hate the feel of silicon button covers, and I'll be pressing that thing around 20 times a day for the next two years, so that's pretty much a deal-breaker.
The only other options from those companies are the Pocket Book, which exposes the buttons but is huge (I'd get a Max if I wanted to carry something that big) and looks ridiculous (wood? really?), or the Surface Pad, which is still in development for the 12 but I'm assuming is out on account of a shortage of card slots and probably insufficient edge protection for when I drop the thing.
I looked at some "best wallet case" recaps, but every one was either horribly ugly, had insufficient pockets, covered the buttons, or all of the above.
Suggestions for other options on the market?
I'm looking for a wallet case option for the 12 Pro that:
- Exposes the buttons on the phone.
- Doesn't have the mute switch at the bottom of a little well.
- Holds at least 3 cards and has a cash pocket.
- Preferably has a driver's license window.
