I have used this for 12 pro Max
Had to return
The silicon material gets stuck in pocket

Not a smooth operation putting the phone in and out of pocket in my opinion

I usually go for the more expensive cases that have been thoroughly tested by YouTubers. I watch MobileReviewEhh and he said that RhinoShield cases are really good. I currently have a RhinoShield case for my iPhone 12 mini and it has been solid.

That YouTube video is more than likely a PAID AD! I'm sure there's a link they provide and get a % of the sale too.

Yup, mini is too short and narrow for the Tesla coils. I put a spacer below. Plus one in the side to prevent the phone from sliding off.

I bought a cheap wireless charger for my Model 3 for ~$25 from China. It works fine with our iPhone 12 Mini and Pro Max, both with MagSafe cases. I guess the solution is go cheap.

Stop wearing skinny fit pants. Dad's fashion is back now. Love my roomy triple pleated trousers.

Switched to IOS because of the 12 mini so I'm sad to hear it might not be doing so well. Been somewhat happy so far (my main issue is how settings can live in like 3 different places). Love having a compact phone again with a high quality hardware.

I have the kumquat version for my 12 Pro Max and LOVE it!!! It's soft and has a good grip & feel.,

I generally dislike soft-touch silicone cases because they pick up dust and lint everywhere that is hard to remove. Lighter colors might show this less. Hard PU or flexible TPU cases don't have this issue.

Probably a sign that people aren't buying dark green products.

I think this case looks really good with the blue... but I have a pro, not sure if the mini comes in blue. The Cyprus green and Navy were the first colors to sell out at launch.

It's annoying but gets way better after a week or so. As someone who never bought Apple accessories, I actually love this case on my pro. Lots of grip and looks good too. A had a couple other third party cases I tried and just love the feel of this one. I do wish there were more mag safe third party cases though, I like options.

Of breaking those fragile galaxy's.
So far I'm very happy with the mini and the battery life isn't the best but if you turn off 5g you can squeeze out another hour or two

Very nice case. I love my 12 mini but I am not a heavy user so battery life is fine.

Quote from rspray :

I agree, love my mini too. Normally I'd gripe about the reported lower battery life, but with so much WFH right now, I suspect it's less of any issue than normal.

I love my iPhone 12 mini as well. I take it off the charger at 8am, and it lasts all day until around 11pm when I put it on the charger with about 20% left. Been waiting for a small flagship and this has been perfect.

Had this same case for the 12 it is a lint magnet if you keep it in your front pocket. Paid full price and returned it went for the otter box synergy which is great without being bulky and works with MagSafe.

I think I've got a dud because the standby battery time on my Mini is terrible. I'm losing 20-30% overnight.

Could be a rogue app but I didn't have this problem on my XR.

how do you fully disable 5g?
I have a 12 pro and 5g is pretty much useless on tmobile where I am located

current settings:
voice & date: LTE
data mode: low data mode
