I usually buy a ton of cases but usually gravitate to using a plain white silicone case. I’m handing down my X to my grandson and had well over 20 cases. Many of them, he doesn’t want so they’ll be tossed. I feel bad that they were such a waste.
I’m trying to simplify this time around. I bought the Apple Silicone white case and a spare. I’m hoping to not get into the case buying mode.
I would love to go without a screen protector but usually after a few weeks, I get some surface scratches that drive me crazy. So I’ll end up putting on an ESR glass protector.

I usually buy a ton of cases as well and realized how much money I wasted. I’m only going to buy 4 cases this go around. 2 Apple silicon cases, 1 clear case and a Caseology case.
I always like the Otterbox Symmetry. Smartish also makes good cases if you're looking for protectiveness vs something super thin.
From the attached video, the Spigen Quartz Hybrid clear case seems to work well for drop protection. The back of the case is tempered glass which is nice.

These are the thin clear cases I am considering. The ESR has a 2-year warranty and the Caudabe has a 1 year warranty.

Couldn’t decide between the Spigen Hybrid or Liquid Crystal so I ordered both. Keeping my fingers crossed they arrive tomorrow to use with my phone.
I had esr before. It kinda loosened overtime. But I just threw it away.These are the thin clear cases I am considering. The ESR has a 2-year warranty and the Caudabe has a 1 year warranty.

I find those material in the caudabe is slippery that my phone slips when getting into my car.These are the thin clear cases I am considering. The ESR has a 2-year warranty and the Caudabe has a 1 year warranty.

I’m not sure yet. I think ill wait until I go to the Apple store to test the small models to see how thin they are.
I have mous for my iphone X. I love it, protects extremely well.
I have the limitless on my 11 Pro now and it is indeed excellent, but a little bulky. It seems the clarity is less bulky, which is ideal. And now that the new phones have MagSafe, I don’t have to worry about adding magnets into the case (and to be honest I never had any use for any of the Mous magnetic accessories). I’m happy to pay less to toss features I don’t need.
For me it Tech21 clear case. 3 years iPhone 8 still no yellow. I am getting one for iPhone 12 mini too.
I've been getting the tech21 eco clear every year and it doesn't yellow. I ordered one of those for the 12 pro and I ordered the otterbox figura from apple since I really wanted something different.
I got this Miracase off amazon in Midnight Green and love it so far. Color looks great with pac blue

Update: my Otterbox Symmetry showed up and I was not impressed. I think this case has gone downhill since the last one I bought (for my X). I need a litte more protection than that.
I've also bought this one and am trying it out:
Please don't waste my time and yours whining at me about how evil it is to put a protective case on the phone... you can't see the "art" and all that nonsense. I'm a klutz, I drop the phone, I run it into things, I leave it places and then those places move (figure it out). I like this case so far. The blue is an almost perfect match for the Pacific Blue.
I've also bought this one and am trying it out:
Encased Compatible with iPhone 12 Pro Belt Clip Protective Holster Case (2020 Rebel Armor) Heavy Duty Rugged Full Body Cover with Holder (Blue)
The Rebel is built to exceed tough military impact standards, the Rebel case has been 10FT impact tested to provide you peace of mind when you need it most. We designed the Rebel Series with a reasonably slim profile to retain the phone's slim shape making it both comfortable and easy...
