original Leather case or silicon case? and why

[fulhamx5]

and what about raised lip camera protection?
I think most important change is this with closed bottom.

will it damage your clothes after a time as a hook ?

The case does leave enough clearance to protect the camera.
I do use the 12Pro phone with the case in and out of a snug side pocket in my purse and also my back pants pockets with no issues thus far.

I always get the white silicone. It does attract dust but cleans right up. I’ve found that once it gets worn a bit and “broken in”, it doesn’t attract dust as much. It won’t look any different but feels different - almost softer if you can imagine that.

But I can say that this one which I’ve been using since Oct. 23rd has not gotten that “broken in” feel yet.

Has yours broken in yet? I think the biggest thing for me was it makes your phone heavier this year as others have said, but I guess I didn’t give it enough time to “break in”. Contemplating on trying it again.

Mine is getting better but not totally with that “broken in” softness yet. I’ve had it over a month now. I still like it as everything is so even and precise. And the buttons have that great expected feedback.

I mentioned before that I bought the 3rd party Cordking case and loved everything about it except the buttons. They worked fine if I pushed really hard or concentrated on hitting them in the middle. So that one is sitting on the shelf and I’m back with my Apple silicone.

I like both the leather and silicone. This year I promised I wouldn’t buy a bunch of cases when I usually use the same one all the time. I love the feel of the silicone, especially once it gets “broken in”. So I bought the white Apple silicone and another 3rd party silicone in a lavender color. I like the Apple one best.

Which 3rd party silicone brand did you get? Would you recommend it? The Apple silicone case is too steep for me.

I bought the Cordking lavender case. Overall it’s a fine case, especially for the price. My main complaint is that I don’t like the feel of the buttons. I am probably not going to use it. If lavender works for you, PM me your name and address and I’ll send you the Cordking. It fits the 12 or 12 Pro.

my white apple silicone has started to yellow around the corners but i geniuenly dont know how. I rarely go out and my hands and surroundings are always clean. idk could be foundation lmao but i doubt it. has yours gotten visibly dirty yet? thinking of returning it or switching it but i love it so much =(

Mine has stayed clean. No yellowing. If you really like it, return it to Apple for a new one. Definitely shouldn’t be doing that.

and its never turned yellow or semi permanently dirty (dirty enough that you cant clean it off)? like if youve gotten it before with previous generations.. NEVER turned yellow?

I have had many white silicone cases - both from Apple and 3rd party. I’ve never had any turn yellow. Clear TPU cases absolutely have turned yellow after a while. That’s very common with the soft clear cases.

I have both leather and silicon case and I think silicon is better at magsafe wallet magnet strength. On the leather case this thing just slips off easy.

I have always had leather cases as far back as I can remember. I really don’t like the 12 Pro Max leather case. The edges are very high and the bottom is now a full edge. I really liked how on the XS Max and 11 Max cases the bottom was open. Allowed easy finger swipes.

I’ve always seen the cutout for plugs break on every case as that little thin strip of case gets a lot of wear. We will see how long this one lasts.
