I put a pledge in at the $62 level. $3 shipping so $65. You don’t get charged until later if they meet the production goal.

Curious to see how it is. Only a couple of bucks, more at the Super Early Bird pledge level, than the regular Bullstrap case or even the Apple leather case.

Looks like 25 left at that pledge level.
 
Thanks for posting this. I pledged for the Super Early Bird. It looks slim and minimalist. Love the natural look without the plastic camera ring. I forgot I have an iPhone 12 mini and only available at Stretch Goal ($75k). Will cancel pledge if it doesn't make it to the Stretch Goal before project ends on February 21, 2021.

The Super Early Bird Special for $62 is no longer available (120 backers). The Early Bird Special (not Super) starts at $81. That's cool I made it. Just waiting now if it's going to meet the Stretch Goal ($75k) for the iPhone 12 mini.

I wonder if the aluminum would interfere with reception?

Years ago, I got an aluminum bumper cases for my android phone. What I found was that the case interfered with reception. You didn’t really notice it in an area of good reception, but if you were in an area with bad reception (my house at the time), it made things much worse to have the case on, compared to a regular silicone case.
 
I got in at the $62 pledge. There were 33 left when I did it. Looks like there are definitely more than just a few people pledging, so that’s a good sign.

Not to be a downer, because the case looks really nice, but I have backed things on Kickstarter for at least 15 years and projects rarely ship on time. IMO this will ship near December if we are lucky. And I won’t have the same iPhone. If the 12S Pro Max or 13 Pro Max is the same size as my current 12 PM then I'll be fine. But if not, it will just be another wasted expense.

So true but I figure if I spend $50 on a dozen Titleist ProV1’s at the golf course when I forget to buy balls before a round and those last me a few rounds, $65 for this case will last a lot longer than that. I give my phone to one of my kids when I get a new phone the next year. So I still see the value in getting it whenever as they can use it or just sell it if they don’t. It will still have value next year as there will be plenty of 12 PM phones still in use for at least a few years.
