More bulky than I wanted. Keeping it though for going out hiking and such. It also feels and looks cheap. The buttons are really good though.

For iPhone 12/Pro/Max/mini Bumper Case Hard Slim Aluminum Metal Soft TPU Cover | eBay
The iPhone bumper case could protect your iPhone edge, but can not hide your iPhone in a bulky case, this let you more individual and fashional. The iPhone case has three silicone joint, you can twist it and easily install it onto your iPhone without any scratch to your iPhone.

Just received this and it’s pretty flimsy. There’s no mechanism to open up the frame. You have to squeeze you phone into it.
There’s no padding or microfibre on the inside of the case, just bare plastic.
The edges look pretty sharp so I didn’t even bother trying to fit the phone into it.
Others that look like this one on eBay are probably similar.
Interesting because the description for that bumper states in the ad (notice bolder part):For iPhone 12/Pro/Max/mini Bumper Case Hard Slim Aluminum Metal Soft TPU Cover | eBay

So it does not have a inner silicon layer? Is it even made out of aluminum?
I didn’t even read the eBay description lol. I can’t be bothered to get a refund.
On closer inspection the sharp edges of the inside of the frame are actually malleable silicone. But I won’t trust this to protect the phone from damage.

Have you thought about using a clear film? I think I am going to try out XtremeSkins glossy clear Film on the sides and a matte clear film on the back. This years iPhones are too beautiful to put in a case.

I’ve used skins in the past and while they show off the phone, the plastic feels weird to touch (well, plasticky) and you can smell the plastic and glue smell even a few weeks after you apply it. The edges also starts peeling off.Have you thought about using a clear film? I think I am going to try out XtremeSkins glossy clear Film on the sides and a matte clear film on the back.

Just got in the Supcase unicorn beetle bumper for iPhone 12pro.
pretty nice so far. Not a lot of bulk. Keeps the flat edge aesthetic of the 12. Metal exterior. Nice satin finish. Backside has an all-around rubber lip to protect the back glass and camera bump. Buttons are more flush than the naked phone, but are easy to press and responsive. Flush enough I can stand the phone on edge.

So I put the eBay bumper on and it’s actually not that bad. Didn’t scratch the stainless steel frame and the phone feels thinner and lighter. Just gonna use this until I get the offical leather case.
Which eBay bumper...seems like there were a few. Need one for my Max
I have been watching this thread and ordered the same SUPCase pictured above but in Black. I received it earlier today and put it on my graphite 12 pro. I love it. Coudnt be happier with the protection and minimalistic feel and look. Highly recommend. See Photos attached.

I literally had the page open to buy this case right now, but wanted to look at some real life pictures first before ordering. I have the same color 12P, and I have to say this bumper looks amazing in black. Thanks for posting these! I feel a lot better about ordering it now.
Edit: Is the back panel any useful? I probably won't use it, but it seems very thin and flimsy in their promo pics.
Also, how do the buttons feel?
You are so welcome! Glad I could help. Seems like perfect timing I put these up.
Haven’t even put on the back panel and don’t intend to use it. To the touch it is very thing and flimsy. No doubt about that.
Buttons are great. Only con is the volume mute on off switch is pretty deep. You have to get a fingernail in there to turn on or off.
Also I am sure it is based on where you live but the shipping times scared me. The free option was 10-21 business days. I didn’t pay up for faster shipping and it got to me in 5 business days so prob underpromising and over delivering on that. Although again I’m sure it’s based on where you live. I’m in CA.
Hope that helps. Also Supanova promo code saves you 15%. Enjoy
