Ordered a 12 mini and a leather sleeve from Lucrin to go with it. Had a few things from them now, very good quality and customisable for leather type and colour.
So,
I got this case
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ShockPro...764766?hash=item4db564d01e:g:Z5cAAOSwIwtfAuFW
Its not bad for the money tbh, took a while to arrive, but it still arrived before the phone..
I'm going to get the Torras Military case as well and some screen protectors.
Has anyone found a decent car mount yet?

What chargers are you guys using. My wireless charger isn't compatible. Looking for one that chargers my watch too?
Caporegime
Which wireless charger is that?? I have a few wireless chargers and so far they all work well with my 12 pro.
If you want to charge your watch as well then Apple are doing a MagSafe duo charger. Expensive at £130 but folds up so you can take it when you travel.
Personally I’m waiting to see what other manufacturers will put out before settling on one. Belkin do a 3 in one MagSafe charger and it’s pricey as hell but does look very nice.

anyone know a good camera lens protector for the 12 pro max?
Commissario
IIRC, the iPhone camera lenses are sapphire.
Caporegime
No point in getting one, if it gets scratched which it will do then your pictures won’t come out very good. Talking about the camera lens protectors.
Just get yourself a decent case that has a lip around the camera lens, that will save your camera from getting scratched...if it ever does as they are made out of sapphire glass, which is hard to scratch.

my mini coming tomorrow. Really fancy an orange case and Lucrin do an orange leather one. Good protection and build on them?
Soldato
It’s never been sapphire although the Apple used to advertise it was :/
Check 7min mark on this video https://youtu.be/7jD5Gkh4K34

They still do. If it wasn’t, I think the ASA would be all over them.

/edit - I've just looked at the video you linked and he's wrong. The iPhone 11 specs say the same as the 12: "Sapphire crystal lens cover"

Yep it's a sort of suede inside. I dropped my old iphone 7 several times in it and it's still mint condition.

Fair enough but the lens scratches at level 6 and 7 so defo not sapphire. Zack proved that.

Ended up going for the apple leather case for my pro, pretty happy with it.

Have the case, awaiting the phone. Glad you like it on the phone.

I’m getting a pro max tomorrow and I always get an Apple case but dunno if I want to this time.
will probably get a MagSafe charger but just dunno about a case tbh. I have toddlers so need one.

So, I think I prefer the Torras case, feels a bit better in the hand than the £3 ebay special, although I'm not a huge fan of the transparent back..
Screen protectors came today

Easy to fit if you leave your case on, tiny gap between the edge of the protector and the case but that's to be expected..

Curious as to which wireless charger it is as well. I've got a various anker ones dotted around my house and they all work perfectly with my 12 pro.
I like the look of that magsafe duo but it says you need a 20w power supply for it to take adv of the 15w charging. Which would put it up to £150. I couldn't find any reliable information if you just use a standard ipad 10/12w block with a usb-a to lightening whether it would have enough power to charge both the watch and phone. I'm just speculating the 5w phone charger wouldn't.
Anyway, that belkin 3-1 charger looks ideal. I'm going to wait and see what others come up with as well. Theres a better looking one from native union which is £129 that only has 7w wirelesss.

Anyone using a Mous Clarity case, tempted with the sale to get on for my Mini but not sure I like the glossy plastic side. Only other option is the limitless?
Or the Lucrin as mentioned about. Does the Lucrin support qi charging?
