I’m currently using the Spigen Liquid Air Armor. I love the grip it provides, not sure how I feel about the lip around the edges though. It’s a little high.

What case(s) are you using on your 12 mini?

I haven't ordered my iPhone 12 Mini yet, but I will be using a basic silicone case from ESR, which I got for $5 after a Slickdeals coupon code. These are the two cases I am targeting for Black Friday/Holiday sales:
- Casetify Impact in Navy Blue or Olive: https://www.casetify.com/custom-iphone-case#/16001996
- Apple Leather Case in Saddle Brown: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MHK83ZM/A/iphone-12-mini-leather-case-with-magsafe-baltic-blue

I also plan on picking up the Smart Battery case sometime next year. I don't need the extra battery life right now, since I am mostly stuck at home!

I wonder if they are planning to make a silicon battery pack for iPhone 12. I feel like it would be perfect with the mini

Would you say the lip is rigid or flexible? (the latter is annoying!)

I’d say it’s rigid. For $10 on amazon, this is a great case. I just don’t like the lip.

Black apple leather case and this one from Amazon. Got the clear case just to test the size of the mini before pre-ordering. But it’s actually pretty good quality. No rough edges, nice looking, and not very bulky. I like the leather case more as it feels more luxurious and the buttons are amazing, but I’m worried about the leather getting damaged lol, so currently using the clear case more. Once the leather case isn’t so new, I’m sure I’ll be running that as my daily. But this amazon one is a surprise.

I bought 6 different clear cases from amazon and returned them all...forgot how slippery they are and how they attract grease and fingerprints on the back.

Splurged on the official apple silicon case instead.

Does anyone know of a clear case that’s grippy like silicon?

How are you liking the silicon case so far?

It’s nice! The most I’ve ever spent on a case.

I have a spigen liquid air coming today too.

I picked up a deep navy silicone case from Best Buy a few days ago. I’ve not loved these cases in the past due to the lint attraction, and the fact they stick to my pocket. But, either they changed a few things (not as sticky?) or the size of the 12 mini helps, too. I’m a fan. I love how thin it is and the combination on my white 12 mini.
