Which Apple case color would look best with the Pacific Blue 12 Pro?

I am in the same dilemma. I always get leather but got a silicone on sale this year and think it is more tight with the phone/lighter which comes in handy holding a big phone. I think I will do navy silicone
A clear case I can recommend is Spigen's (Ultra Hybrid or Lucid Clear - I like the latter myself)
I picked up a plum case last night to go with my phone (which should be delivered Friday).
it's a nice colour; understated and a bit different.

I am between the navy and plum... I think the more I see the plum the more I want it. Only thing is I ordered a blue leather wallet and think black or brown would go better with it...
Orange and blue go pretty nicely together, so I think Kumquat would be a pretty good option if you don't mind something a little brighter. Either that or go with Navy and blend the case into the phone a bit more.
I was always taught that black and navy don't mix; brown shoes with navy suits in my house...
I narrowed it down to the blue & saddle brown wallet and plum & saddle (or blue) wallet. I always get the color that blends (i.e. currently use a midnight green leather with midnight green phone) BUT something about the plum is just catching my attention a lot. It looks unique and has more personality to the usual blended color. I think the saddle brown would look good with it too but the blue wallet kinda blends in too. So hard! But I think as of right now plum and saddle brown is what I am leaning towards. What do you think? Which wallet are you getting with your plum?
I'm unsure about the wallets after seeing how lightly the magnets hold; I'd want them to cling fairly well. Also not ideal that you can't use MagSafe charging through the wallet; so jury is out.
But if all of that doesn't bother me, I'm thinking either the poppy or the blue to go with my blue phone. Depends on the finish on the wallet - if it's going to patina, the poppy will look rough quite quickly and it'll pick up dye from jeans etc; so the blue is probs the safer bet, as they're not cheap, and I like the blue phone, plum case, blue wallet coordination.
I ordered both the Kumquat and Deep Navy silicone cases for my PB. I think they’ll each look great! (I ordered them all after I saw real-world photos of the Pacific Blue)
I also ordered the Deep Navy Apple Watch loop. It’ll match either case, so kind of a 2 birds-1 stone thing.

I pickup up my Pacific Blue 12P today and took a long look at the cases and wallet attachments.
OP: since you already have the blue wallet, I think the white would look sharpest. I also think the Plum would look nice too.
I didn't buy the white or the plum, mostly because I think the price is silly. But in terms of the white my fear is that it would turn dingy over time. I've always been a leather case person so am not sure to what if any this might happen with the white silicon.
HOWEVER, I also put a case on my phone along with a wallet and the wallet fell off every single time I took the phone out of my front and back pockets. Didn't matter whether it was wallet facing in or out. Every. Single. Time. And in fact one time it fell off on the way into the pocket. My jeans aren't especially tight.
YMMV but on the main I'd definitely try before buying if at all possible, or know that you may wind up needing to send it back if your experience is similar to mine. I really wanted to like this...

Well, I pre-ordered the blue wallet BUT it won't ship until late Nov - Dec so I was thinking of switching to Saddle Brown. I think brown wallet would look good with the navy silicone or plum (I am leaning towards plum)
I've heard about the wallet though... Either way I won't get it anytime soon so I will wait to see how it is
I purchased Apple’s clear case, as well as the Red, Kumquat, and Plum silicone cases.
Just to be clear, I like to go caseless as often as possible, but every now and then I feel I need a little extra protection (exercise, travel, on-the-go, etc.). So I usually get one case to accompany each new iPhone. I always look for an easy-on, easy-off case, too.
I couldn’t stand the clear case: it was very tight, and pretty difficult to get the phone into and out of. I couldn’t help but worry about scratching the phone, even for the one time I put it in and took it out of the case. And the buttons were lacking, too; they felt mushy and devoid of any clear tactical feel and response.
The silicone cases are all comparatively much easier to put on and take off, and the buttons feel great, too.
The Red silicone case is very nice; I thought it looked sharp on my Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro.
The Kumquat is the one I really figured I’d keep: orange is my favorite color and mentally, I was set to declare this color the winner. However, after putting it on the phone, all I could think about were “Circus Peanuts” (I’m hoping there are a few members on here who remember those big bags of rubbery candy treats). It didn’t look bad; just brighter and somehow not as sharp as I had hoped it would.
The Plum more than compensated; it’s a gorgeous color that looks great on this phone, and it’s the one I’ll be keeping. it’s very smart-looking and the color is very complementary to the PB phone.

The plum/burgandy goes really well with 12 Pro. Did anyone match a green silicone case with the blue pro?
