    Great reliable case for the price.
    Bought this back in August of 2021 and just recently bought a new one after 1 1/2 years.I have a iPhone 12 and suppose to fit the 12 and 12 pro.Went with this case cause i wanted something reliable but not bulky.The case is a nice size, easy to slide in and out my pocket. I’d say it’s a Good size for most people that the phone still feels comfortable in your hand. I was very hesitant about how bulky it would be and wasn’t disappointed.The rubber layer, on the buttons it’s pretty thick and i personally struggled a bit sometimes to get it to work that i was patient enough to wait for it break in that i started to using my nail and ended up digging into the rubber of all buttons and even the socket to switch to vibrate had to dig in there to switch it. Overtime the rubber does start wearing out so dust/dirt will tend to get in between the case and the phone and will potentially scratch the phone as it did to mine. It’s only two small a scratched at the edge of the top of the phone.Also the port protection probably ripped off after about 4-6 months? But that’s due to me using my phone so much and having to charge it and still using it which made it wear out faster so i think for someone who’s not always on there phone it’ll definitely last longer than it did for me.The plastic is good but could be better. If you drop it in the bottom the plastic is the first to take the impact which will probably crack as it did for me on two spot. Can’t recall when the crack by the camera happen as i only recently noticed it when buy this for the second time.The first crack in the bottom corner happened around the 1 year mark but if you look at my photos i can easily pop it back in place and keep using it without issue.There’s also a small thin plastic that goes in front of the port protection that broke off around 6 months of having it.The plastic is pretty durable, you’d really have to put some force on it to dig into the plastic so small scratches are not really a thing to worry about.If your responsible with not dropping your phone, almost any line of work that’s not construction, i definitely suggest this case if you don’t want a bulky case.For those who work in a more active line of work like huge construction job sites, i recommend upgrading to “DEFENDER” series case. Those are the cases my job has on our work phones and they’re pretty bulky.If you’re someone who’s slightly clumsy, i suggest this case.Overall a great case if you want something reliable, looks great and isn’t bulky. This was based off my experience and other will have their own that probably won’t align with mine.I looked at the reviews before buying it the first time and some people broke it within 3 months from what i recall. it still depends how active your are and what environment your in. If your a office worker, this case will most likely last you a few years compares to someone who’s in a environment that can get pretty filthy and is fast pace.It also depends on how you take care of you things. It’s going to happen to everyone at some point so if you really want more protection with sacrifice of it’s look and size, i suggest upgrade to the defender series or get two cases and swap them for work and off work. Silly but it’s a investment on saving your self the hassle of having to fix a phone or a get a new phone.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone Case!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023
    I have had this phone case for about a year and a half now and it is sturdy and durable! I'm someone who drop's his phone ALL THE TIME! and this baby has kept it from cracking. Along side a screen protector. The rubbery part allows for a better grip. I also assume the rubber part helps with shock absorption. It does not make my phone too bulky when I put it in my pocket. The hard plastic part would occasionally pop off if it is dropped a little too hard. Just last New Years I had drunkenly dropped my phone on concrete exiting an Uber in downtown and sadly wasn't strong enough from keeping the back of my phone from damaging. It cracked all over the back as well as the square part surround the the camera lenses. Thankfully the camera lens isn't shattered like the rest of the back of my phone. All-in-all this is a great product, but once the hard plastic part is damaged ( crack on any part of it ) do please get a new phone case, and save yourself the agony of seeing a shattered back.

    Always bought Otterbox and always been happy. Sadly not the case with this iPhone 12 cover. I’ve had it 6 months. Working from home it’s hardly left the house. Pulled my phone out of my pocket today and the corner came off the case (see photo). Very poor design!
