SPIGEN Ultra Hybrid Case iPhone 12 Pro Max - Red

Ordered on 13 May. Received on 15 May. Secured packaging. Very secured and hard. Used the same brand before & last for 4years. Thats why I repeat the same brand. I also love the high gap around the camera. Recommended

Decent alternative to Apple's clear case - but without the ring

This is a very good case that displays the iPhone 12 Pro in all its beauty. The fit is excellent, with the phone snapping in snugly in the case. The back is hard polycarbonate with flexible TPU sides and even around the cut out for the camera. The case feels very slim in hand and looks to offer good protection all around, especially in the corners and edges. It is an excellent alternative to Apple’s much more expensive clear MagSafe case. The only negative I can find is that fingerprints show up easily on the back of the case, which has me wiping it often, but that’s the nature of having a clear plastic case.Spigen’s iPhone cases have always provided an excellent value over some of the more expensive competition.

Feels quality, looks like would provide good protection, a bit thicker than I expected.

It's always a trade off on phone cases between protection and thickness of the case. The thicker they are, obviously the more protection they provide. But also the more intrusive they become when handling your phone.This case provides good coverage and protection. Edges are raised so you can put your phone face down without touching the screen. There are also raised ridges on the back in the three corners opposite the camera lenses to keep that off of the surface too. And then the thickness of the case itself around the phone - it's not excessive, but does to provide substantial protection (I'm not going to drop test it though). Case looks crystal clear, is easy to get on, and comes with protective stickers for the clear back to keep it that way until you install ... MoreIt's always a trade off on phone cases between protection and thickness of the case.

Case material is smooth, but not slippery.All that being said, it's a bit more than what I typically like to wrap my phone in. I prefer minimalist covers, and I thought this might be that kind. Phone feels a bit thicker and wider in the hand, but remains handy.

Great quality case that needs just small refinements as the side buttons are not very responsive

I’m a huge fan of these cases and every year it’s a struggle to find a case that is aesthetically pleasing, comfortable to hold and functional. Ultimately it’s this clear case that wins. It started out as a quick shopping experience to get something protective on the iPhone while more cases make it to the market. Four years ago when I did that I immediately loved the case and ultimately everyone in the house was using them. The constructive criticism is as much as I love the slim profile, the three buttons are near if not flush with the side of the case and determining volume up or down as well as taking screenshots can be a bit of a challenge. If the buttons were a maybe 2 millimeters higher the buttons would be more responsive. I also believe if Spigen could get ... MoreI’m a huge fan of these cases and every year it’s a struggle to find a case that is aesthetically pleasing, comfortable to hold and functional.

I also believe if Spigen could get the MagSafe in this case it would flat out be so much better than Apple’s clear case which I found too slick and not a fan of the bottom not being covered.Update 11/1 after many attempts it is nearly impossible for my 16 your old to do screen shots and identify buttons due to the low profile. While the low profile helps keep the case form fitting it causes the buttons to be too difficult to respond for volume up and down as well as screen shots. I’ve struggled with it as well but have decided I will keep my case but will have to send his back as he gets too frustrated with the button covers being too flat.

Nice case cluttered with printing.

I’ve been using Spigen clear hybrid cases for some time and have generally been pleased in spite of the fact they have darkened over time. So I got this case for my new iPhone. It seems both light and reasonably protective. I like the feet on the back and the screen protective edge on the front. While there has always been too much printing on the clear case, what I hate is the gratuitous labeling of the volume and wake buttons. It really takes away from the clean lines of the new iPhone. Please Spigen, lose the printing and the button labels. Just the Spigen logo is plenty. The case is still a good value and fit perfectly. Just please lose all the clutter.

Not great ...

As other reviewers have written, the case doesn’t seem to fit quite right.It’s loose around the volume buttons. Almost as if the case got stretched out a bit on that side.It doesn’t sit flat. There are raised edges on three back corners. But not on the corner by the cameras. There are raised edges around the camera but they aren’t the same height as the corner edges. So it rocks whenever you have the phone sitting flat and push in the upper right corner. This is just poor engineering and design.There is way too much branding and text on the sides of the case. Having “Spigen” (left side, lower corner) I understand. But do I really need to see that it has “Air Cushion Technology” (top side, left corner)? Or “Designed in Irvine California. Made is South Korea” (right ... MoreAs other reviewers have written, the case doesn’t seem to fit quite right.It’s loose around the volume buttons.

So I think I’m just stuck with a mediocre case. It’s ok but far from great or what I’ve come to expect from Spigen.There are probably better cases out there. I would recommend looking at other ones.

Quality phone case.

I’ve bought Spigen cases for my phones for a while now. I find their quality for the price the same as you’d find as the big box store. Why pay that huge retail price. The grip on it is great, it’s not slippery. I do like on this particular case, that they closed the tabs on the corners of the case on the back. They used to have small openings, and when you put your phone in your pocket dirt and dust would get back there. I like my phone fingerprint free. Now let’s discuss that, you will get fingerprints on the back of the case, big deal. Get a microfiber cloth and wipe it down. I really like the feel of this new design case too, the buttons on the side seem to have gone through a redesign since my xr. Yellowing, yes I have noticed overtime some yellowing of the ... MoreI’ve bought Spigen cases for my phones for a while now.

Yellowing, yes I have noticed overtime some yellowing of the case; but come on it’s not a $49.99 case. But another one. How long do you keep your phone for anyway? I noticed this after about 8-9 months. I now have the iPhone 12 in the beautiful blue. If your looking for a good, inexpensive case, buy Spigen.

The only good thing about this case is it is cheap, and it isn’t cheap enough

When you buy a clear case, you do so because you want the beautiful phone to be the focal point.But Spigen went and etched words into three of the five sides of this case, including the term “Air Cushion Technology” on the top. Spigen: nobody who buys a clear case wants your branding on it, and nobody who sees branding on a clear case is going to want to remember that name so they, too, can buy a product that doesn’t serve it’s intended purpose.The fit is bad too — it’s just a smidgen too thin to lie square against the sides of the phone and they bow out just enough that you feel the case move whenever you grip the phone.Then there are the completely flat panels covering the buttons. Not only can you not use the buttons without looking, you can’t even tell if your ... MoreWhen you buy a clear case, you do so because you want the beautiful phone to be the focal point.But Spigen went and etched words into three of the five sides of this case, including the term “Air Cushion Technology” on the top.

Not only can you not use the buttons without looking, you can’t even tell if your phone is oriented properly. The buttons don’t work as well either.Finally: there are these atrocious curved bumps on the three corners opposing the camera that are uncomfortable and ungainly. I think they are meant to allow the phone to sit flat — except it doesn’t sit flat. The raised area around the camera is ever so slightly less raised than the bumps, so this phone rocks back and forth on a flat surface.I believe this case protects a phone. Beyond that, it’s a complete failure.

Wow. Wow. WOW! Really impressed!

Honestly WAY better than I was expecting. Most clear cases have a somewhat textured surface obscuring the design on the back but this is crystal clear. The back is equipped with footing at all corners to protect the back from scratching when on the table. The buttons are VERY easy to press despite being thick and protective. The corners are fitting with air cushion technology for impact protection. The design allows the phone to stand freely on its side and just barely fits with a screen protector! This case (unlike others on the market) actually covers the metal frame of the iPhone 12 all the way to the glass! I suppose depending on how accurately your screen protector is fitted would either make or break this case working with your phone. I am overall VERY happy. ... MoreHonestly WAY better than I was expecting. Most clear cases have a somewhat textured surface obscuring the design on the back but this is crystal clear.
