Ugh, that's a pet peeve of mine too, as I also rest the phone on my pinky and I usually hate cases that cover the bottom. I have no issue with 3rd party silicone cases, so that will definitely be an option...in fact, I really hope the company that makes the case I have on my 11 Pro Max makes a 12 Pro Max case, because it's been great!I agree, and the charging port is made out of a super hard plastic that digs into my pinky when I rest it there. May try another silicone case on amazon. It’s better today but it’s still there.
