It works.. but real life usage for me, few caveats.

It needs to be unlock first. FaceID isn't helpful, then most of the time, i'm double tapping like mad. End up firing up the search and open app is faster. I given up on the double tap.
*
Agreed but it will be more helpful if at lockscreen we can customize with additional apps shortcuts like those in Samsung GoodLock module.

I can smell it, but not as strong as other leather cases I think. They do give this tiny part to prove that it's made from genuine leather. lol

I’m still waiting for the esr leather case. Still in transit. Is it really genuine leather? As when asked about this through their shopee, they mentioned pu. The same question asked through their AliExpress, they didnt response yet.
Anyway, how’s the case?

It's thin and light. Snug fit as well. But I won't trust this case for drop protection. Changing from mous to this, I forgot that the phone is actually not that heavy.
How is it?
There's a genuine leather debossed on the tiny part but with the price that I got, I don't bother to really question it. I love it and now I wonder if I should try Apple's leather case.  icon_question.gif
Let me know what you think when you get yours!

Yeah. The price really attractive for the way it looks. Sure will update back once reach. Enjoy!

Received mine around 6pm.

My feedbacks:
1. Feels good in hand. Not as good as apple leather or Belroy leather case, but at RM50-60, this is pretty damn good.
2. The leather/pu leather textured a bit rough to my liking. It’s rougher than Mouse leather back case.
3. The port opening is good. Comparable size with apple leather. Having said that, some thicker cable or shorter metal connector may have trouble (applied for both cases).
4. Buttons are surprisingly tactile enough. Nice!
5. The side bezels around the screen still manage to protect the screen along with tempered glass.
6. For me, this case suitable for daily use to office especially when using in cleanroom environment; to avoid residue of n-heptane/ipa/xylene on nitrile glove damaging the apple leather case.

Received my blue honeycomb from slickwraps.
Previously received dBrand honeycomb but after installed it, it took off as its thicker than slickwraps hence having difficulties to properly fit into Mous case, apple leather case. This slickwraps thinner and more flexible hence still able to fit into those cases.
Previously on 11pro installed the dbrand backside version due to the full coverage version not able to fit into mous case and oem pitaka like case.

Too bad the Slickwraps version doesn’t cover the edge as the dBrand full version coverage.

I’m using something like this but instead of snap on, it’s the glue type. It’s a great product, it can help the phone stand vertically or. horizontally. Let me know if you all buying, would love to get one too.

Used to backup moft via kickstarter. Bought the glue adhesive type for my old samsung at that time. Have a good experience hence this new product kinda peek my interest 😊

anyone who bought the 12 pro regretting not getting the pro max ?  doh.gif

Not in the same boat, but just kinda regret why am I upgrading from 11p to 12pm. Main motivation were camera, connectivity and battery. Battery aspect outstanding (really satisfied) but rear camera just not that significant upgrade for my average joe’s eye. Selfie camera and connectivity is pretty good upgrade.

All these at too heavy and too wide phone.
My personal preferences, this size of phone not exceeding 76mm width and max 200-205g weight. The height is ok though.

Slimmest
1. ESR slim tpu flexible
2. Apple leather case
3. Ringke fusion
4. ESR real leather

Strongest MagSafe charger
1. Apple leather case
2. IPhone naked
3. ESR slim tpu flexible
4. Ringke fusion
5. ESR real leather

Avoid ESR real leather because it make the phone bulky and feels very heavy.

Received this esr slim tpu case, really slim but its pretty slippery. The gloss bezels also imitate the phone fingerprint magnet characteristic. One thing good, it can fit well with iPhone wrapped with skin whereas the esr leather is pretty tight to put the phone in and caused the phone’s charger hole to misalign with the case charger hole’s opening

The esr leather although bulkier than apple leather case but okla, manageable to use and still slimmer than mous. Hehe.

May I know where you get your hoda sapphire?
*
maybe not popular opinion below.
myself bought directly from US.hoda.
after using it since Dec-4-2020, i dont feel it worth. if you're really looking for scratch proof (as it is sapphire), maybe that's the way to go but as for me, i'm more searching for excellent oleophobic coating which in this case, it just the same as normal hoda glass; i would rate sub-par. Would expect as this is the flagship glass line-up, it didn't hurt to provide better oleophobic coating out from factory.

i bought at USD 59.99 (privacy version) which translate to RM242 which i would rather buy 8 pieces of nillkin glass (RM30 for none-privacy through Lazada) and replace it every 4-6weeks which is good for 12 months usage and still having good oleophobic coating during those interval timeframe and also able to cater for those minor scratches (if any)

for the record, in my past phone ownership, do have experience with nillkin glass (various samsung phones and iphone11p) hoda glass (normal, privacy, sapphire privacy), zeelot (2.5d and 2.75d version for iphone11p), hao glass and etc.

hoda sapphire seems value for money if compared to IMOS sapphire and Shellrus sapphire which all these 3 came from Fuyuan Sapphire factory.

or you can have a look for flolab TG or latercase gorilla glass which seems to have good review by mobilereviews EH. Priced at USD29 (not sure shipping though) for 2 pieces. Seems cheap if compared to Hoda AGbC line-up (same price but single piece).

i'm also using nillkin TG. and with the price surprisingly after using it since the launch date till today the Oleophobic element still there and hardly see any scratch as of now. i didnt give any hope initially but lets see how long will it last  laugh.gif
*
i had good impression on nillkin based on iphone11p usage (especially considering the price). even for 2 S20FEs that recently bought for relatives, i just bought and installed them with Nillkin. anyway, as iphone 12pm is flat glass panel, replacing TG is too easy hence not an issue to replace it on monthly basis icon_idea.gif


for UV curve, dont really have good impression for hao in terms of durability but good impression for it's coating. compared with whitestone, i would go with whitestone (especially if have coupon).
Tmax still best bang of the bucks and sometimes lucky shot purchased generic UV glass (RM5-20) from AliExpress seems decent enough. biggrin.gif

Sharing my newly received (rcv on yesterday) pitaka MagEZ case blue. My favourite brand case, always have 1 version for each of my phone except iP11pro which I bought the generic version from AliExpress).

Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

The back side is more texturised compared to past iterations (S8, S9+, S10+ versions).
The texture make it much easier and comfortable when holding the phone.
The front side have raised lips, enough to cover phone screen glass. With 0.2mm tempered glass, it almost flush.
The top, bottom and buttons side all are exposed.
My fake apple magsafe wallet seems working with MagEz case.

I was using this case for my old iPhone X, the only thing i don't like is the case is so hard to take off. Is this an issue now for iPhone 12?
*
for me it's not hard. for ip12pm just need to push one side of bottom and then same side for the top, then it pop.
due to the phone design, pitaka on galaxy s8/s9+/s10+ were much easier for removal.

for ip11 and ip12; its damn hard if have skin on the phone side. this particular ip12pm, previously when i had slickwrap skin on the side, its really difficult to remove the case, hence i decided to remove the skin. (it also make removal of mous case, apple leather case and esr leather case with side skin become difficult).
