Anyone found a bumper-type case for the new phones? I’ve used the ThanoTech K11 for years but don’t see any 12 versions yet.
Got a tip for us?

Bumper-type case?

I think I still have my iPhone 4 Bumper somewhere.
After seeing how kind of meh the magnet seems when there's a case on the new 12's, (like the Magsafe wallet falling off when going into a back pocket), I really want to go back to the old school iPhone 4 bumper case style. Looks like RhinoShield's the only option around right now -- googling "bumper case" just comes up with regular generic cases with backs.
That looks great! Thanks for the info, I found one on US ebay and added it to my watchlist. Let us know how it works for you when you get it from the slow boat from China!

Yep a lot appeared on eBay yesterday. I’ve ordered several from different suppliers now as there seem to be plenty around
These metal bumpers seem horrible. Scratches Galore. Might be a good idea to get some side protection
Not looking good for a ThanoTech version. Got an email response that said, “I myself do not have any information, though the last I heard we were planning on making them.” Really, their customer service doesn’t even know? 😛
Best bumper case will end up being Rhinoshields offerings. Sadly
Looking forward to your thoughts, @Bazooka-joe. Subscribing to this thread as I am also interested in a bumper-style case.
I like the looks of this one on eBay, and the fact that it can be used with or without the plastic back cover.

I am thinking of using a metal bumper and tempered glass on the front and back. I am going with the Pacific blue color so the blue metal bumper would be a good match.

Looks good and in the photo you will see that it has a rubber insert that protects the sides of the phone so no metal on metalLooking forward to your thoughts, @Bazooka-joe. Subscribing to this thread as I am also interested in a bumper-style case.

I have the cheap Chinese bumper cases before. The quality isn’t brilliant but they work well and last for a few months and at 6 quid a throw, three will last a year at a total of £18
I saw that one as well but was concernedthat it might not actually fit the 12 Pro or Pro Max. Let us know how it is when you receive it!
