I stopped reading case reviews year ago, I now just buy the clear "Spigen Ultra Hybrid" with every phone. Thin, with just the Perfect amount of protection. Bubbles/crash zones in the corners, slightly raised lip around camera and screen. Yes, they do yellow after about a year, just rub on a little "Volume Creme 40" from Sallys Beauty supply and set it in the sun for a couple of hours. Good as new.
Got a tip for us?

Mmmm. Made a mistake. The Ultra Hybird isn’t listed on Amazon for the 12. But Spigen is giving a discount bringing it down to $24.Ha. $35 direct from Spigen. $16 from Amazon...

Yes, that "Crystal Clear" version of the case seems to be cheaper than the other versions, including at Amazon.
No the link was for the Neo Hybird... the Ultra Hybird is not listed on Amazon for the iPhone 12. The Spigen website lists the Ultra Hybird for $29.99 but a discount at checkout brings it down to $24. Sorry for the misinformation.
Oh okay. Their naming conventions get confusing. Then what about this Ultra Hybrid at Amazon for $13.99?
That one is for the Pro Max
I got this one today from eBay, looks pretty similar and was $6.99

Yeah I wasn't looking for a Pro Max case either, but the prior links were for Max, so I was trying to stay on script
Here's the non-Max version of the Ultra Hybrid for the same price. I would definitely trust Spigen even if twice as much (though, again, the clear version is cheaper all around, and we're not talking big bucks anyway) over a rando eBay case. The Spigen on my X has held up for years with no issues whatsoever.
So 10 bucks less expensive buying the same product through Amazon then from the Spigen website. Hmph. 🙃Yeah I wasn't looking for a Pro Max case either, but the prior links were for Max, so I was trying to stay on script

Has anyone used Nomad Cases (https://nomadgoods.com/collections/.../rugged-folio-horween-leather-black-iphone-12) - be interested to know if any good. They look super stylish and effective.

Awesome Thanks! I was wanting to see how the Sea Green looked since there's not many pics of it online. Looks good IMO.
Yeah, hard to get the light right. It looks more "green" in person (but not too green), vs. my picture above. I like it!

I’ve had them for awhile and they are on their last leg haha ..Nike Epic React Flyknit iD
Seems like he and his team listen and communicate with their customers. Smart business plan. I’ll be watching for the moment they announce a mag safe case
