Looks amazing! Can you take some photos of the sierra blue in the clear case?

No problem - here is the iPhone in the clear case with wallet attached - do you want one without the wallet ?

I was at the store today. Wow. I think I might still be in love with the gold. But my 12 Pro Max is in gold. They are so similar, so I really want a change of color. This blue is very neutral, very toned down, grayish blue. My impression is it is a very masculine color. It catches light and reflects it in different ways. A true chameleon color!

Yes, it will be very difficult to wear it with a case, so I might be going without one for the first time ever in the history of owning iPhones. Or I might get a funky Casetify case and rock it for a few months before going naked.

Yes please! Wanna see how distracting the MagSafe ring is!
Do the sides show off the stainless steel band as well?

Here you go, pictures as requested, the MagSafe ring is one of the reasons I got the wallet as it hides the ring. Not that I plan to use the wallet all the time. You can see the stainless steel band, but obviously due to reflections from the clear case it is not as nice as going naked, but I would rather protect the phone.

Thanks a lot for taking these. Shows off the sierra blue nicely. Makes me wanna get the clear case again.
How are the buttons? Last year I got the clear case and while it was sturdy and tight and kept the dust out, the buttons were very stiff.

There is a little resistance to the buttons with the case on, but I would not describe it as stiff. Feels ok to me.

I also got the Belkin MagSafe charger.

Nice!


Is the Apple Clear case the same thickness as the Apple silicone case? How does it feel in the hand? Good grip? Slippery?


I am wonder how Sierra Blue will look in a ultra minimalist black case, i.e. Pitaka Air Case?

The case is open at the top, bottom, near the mute switch/volume up/down buttons and on/off button.

the cloud case is really pretty on the blue!

That Sierra blue looks real good. Hopefully the Telus store (didn't preorder) that I'm going to will have the Pro Max sierra blue in stock when I get there this morning.

If not, Graphite will do.
 
One of the nice aspects of the new wallets is they support 'Find my' and can notify you when they are removed from the phone.

I don't know how the clear compares to the silicone. It feels good in the hand (definitely can feel the additional weight compared to the X) and grip is good.
Thanks. I will check it out when I am at the Apple Store on Sunday morning.
