This was taken a few months ago now but will need to get more up to date pics.

These were just coming up to the 100 day mark. I don’t use it every single day but it shows some wear and tear.

It’s typically my weekday case

The Decoded case did not disappoint. It’s fantastic. Very grippy new out of box and it fits tighter than apples. The buttons are basically the same as apples and I’m extremely happy with it. Ordered from Decoded and shipped out of The Netherlands and to me in the States in 2 days via UPS saver. Excellent service and crazy fast.

Edit: mines the MagSafe version with the closed bottom. Very smooth on the pinky

I just replaced my Apple leather case with this and I like it too. I tried a Mujjo early on after getting my 12 Pro Max, but vowed to never buy an open bottomed case again as long as the phone sides remain flat. I had no problem with the open bottom when iPhones had rounded sides, but with flat sides, the lip on the open bottom is much more pronounced and very uncomfortable on the pinky, especially on the larger and heavier phones like the Max.

I finally broke down and ordered a Decoded brown Magsafe case. I'm moving on past Bullstrap despite the great leather quality. Excited to get it, but hope shipping doesn't take too long to the states.

Awesome! I've been wanting to get one for quite some time, but I just A) hate ordering things online most of the time, and B) especially hate ordering things internationally and waiting, ha.

I ordered the MagSafe compatible Bullstrap case on Monday and it came in today. After disappointment with an apple leather case for my 12 Pro Max I’m really happy so far. Great quality that feels quite a bit better than the apple case. The MagSafe magnet seems on par with the apple case which was one of my concerns. Not sure I could be happier after a couple of hours with it.View attachment 1797104View attachment 1797105

I just got my MagSafe Bullstrap today and so far love it. Mine is different than yours though. It doesn’t have the puffed up part around the camera area. The case is thick enough to protect the lenses. Maybe cause mine is the 12 Pro and not the Max.

That would have been nice!

Gotta love Tee for showing what the new skin looks like.

Looks awesome. I'd like something like this much better on a 12 as I can't really do the bare stainless edges due to the fingerprints.
 
Returned my 13 PM apple leather midnight case. I had to press it back on in the lower corner all the time.
Leather also felt very poor.
My SENA ultra slim just came in and so far not disappointed. Way better fit and feel.
Ordered a Vaja custom as well and will get it next week.

Any update on your Decoded Magsafe case? How do you like it so far, and how are you finding the strength of the Magsafe magnet on it? I'm debating getting one myself for my IP12.

How do you find the magnet strength on the Magsafe of your Decoded case? I'm thinking of getting one myself but curious how the magnet strength would hold up on my car vent magnet dock.

I bounce between cases so frequently but it was pretty strong. Not as strong as apple leather cases but it was pretty good. The magnet on the back sort became visible some through the leather but it’s a nice case overall.

Thanks! Great to hear. Have you tried using your Decoded case on a car vent magnet mount by any chance?
 
These all look great but I just find cases tend to feel sticky after a few months and I hate it and usually just end up stopping using mine..

anyone else find the cases sticky? same for the silicone cases..
