I don’t know why I don’t like this year’s Apple silicone cases??

Sorry! I meant to ask the person who said they usually bought a white one each year, but thanks so much for the extra info.

Lol no problem! I was like, “White?” 🤣😂

Sad to hear some are experiencing lint issues still. Not sure what the difference would be between cases. Some aren’t having any issues, and others are. Environment, perhaps? Different properties due to color? I really don’t know.

To be more clear the phone doesn’t pop out all the way, but I need to push it back in to reseat in the case. It could be a QC issue with mine.

12 Pro + silicone feels noticeably heavier than 11 Pro + silicone. Not a big deal unless wearing shorts or something like that that could weight it down.

Does the case have a lip so I can put the phone face down and not have the screen touch the table?

also is the lip hold the phone in somewhat or is it purely being held by the magnet? As in I could hold the phone by the case and potentially jerk/throw the phone out of the case

Mine isn't. The last silicone case I had was a smart battery cover. That thing was a pain. These new ones have none of those issues. No stickiness, no lint attracting, easy to get in and out of pocket. It works really, really well. I was anticipating a month break-in for those issues, but pleasantly surprised!

I think the lint is color depending. I had the green & plum and it was lint central, unfortunately

Is it because the case makes it too big, or because of the MagSafe battery?

I'm not sure. If I put my phone on my regular Qi charger it works. With the Phonesoap there's a layer of glass between the charger and the phone. I'm guessing the case makes the distance between them too far?

The phone is held by a happy balance between the magnets and the lip, but I guess my Plum didn't have enough lip at one of the corners and I had to push the phone back in every once in a while. The benefit is that the silicone case is easy to put on and take off.

Hmm, one corner for sure lost its magnetic connection, so would a sudden jerk propel the phone out? Maybe, but you would have to be making sudden strong movements with the phone in your hand. I think the Plum that I returned was defective and it seems this year's cases were rushed out. I didn't exchanged it because for some reason(s) I just didn't like it. It's not bad, but in the past I would just buy a case and I was done and happy. I wouldn't care if I learned another case was better because the one had was good.

Thanks, coming from a 6s plus I was previously just satisfied with Apples silicon case. Sounds like it's just OK this year. Seems like this time I might have to shop around to see if there's anything I like better
