I want to order a pitaka slim case. They only one in stock is for the iPhone 12 and NOT the 12 pro. Pitaka advises that the camera dimensions are different on the 12 and 12 pro. Does anyone know this to be true?
 
They are the same. 5 seconds googling would of told you that.

The protruding "square" of the camera housing is the same between the 12 and 12 Pro. The 12 Pro just has an extra lens and Lidar scanner on the right side. And of course the dimensions of the phones are exactly the same, so any case should fit either the 12 or 12 Pro.

I appreciate the reply. However, 5 seconds of googling would have justified my questioning. The case manufacturers design the cases based off of precise measurements. Pitaka stated that there was a difference hence the question.
 
I was wondering that too since Apple sells the exact same cases for both models. I’m holding off before I order another Pitaka case, which I loved on my 11 PM, until they clarify this.

I have it in my pro max as well. I’ve decided to hold off as well.
 
It's true that some phone cases that fit the iPhone 12 will fit the iPhone 12 Pro, like the Apple ones. But the PITAKA case has a raised ring to protect the camera. When we put the iPhone 12 MagEZ or Air Case on iPhone 12 Pro, the camera part doesn't fit quite well. Vice versa. So PITAKA makes two cases, with different rings, for either model. The camera dimension is slightly different, which can't be observed with naked eyes.

Other phone cases do not have the same kind of ring design, so they don't need separate cases for those two iPhone models.

Thanks for responding, I guess it’s time to order one then!
