The photos are from my old 3 year old bumper to show the wear.
So far so good.
Best phone case I've ever bought!!!
Slight issue: the silent switch is super hard to reach with it. The hole is somehow really deep. Can barely reach the switch with my nail.
Also some MagSafe accessories won’t mount properly in landscape due to the slight bump the bumper has. Portrait accessories are fine. Just a note, not a complaint. It comes with bumper cases.
This almost provides a “naked” feel to your phone! The things that might take that feeling away are the corners on the back (as you might feel them when holding the device, which could give away the illusion/immersion(?) of using a caseless phone. The raised bezel on the back might also give that away, but it is really not as bad as other bumper style cases, like the more popular RhinoShield bumper cases. That’s not a shot at RhinoShield, that’s just how they do things and it probably offers greater shock protection than this case. But again, that is NOT why you buy a case like this.
Things I like about this bumper case:
It’s metal with a rubber or silicone layer for shock absorption and a bit of drop protection. The metal [almost] gives you the feel of the metal frame on the iPhone. This varies between iPhones. If you have Apple’s Pro models, it WILL feel differently. If you have their normal models, you should feel at home. The reason being, this case’s metal frame has a matte/satin finish. So if you have a Pro model, you would be accustomed to a polished finished, which offers more grip. If you have their normal model iPhones, you would be accustomed to a matte/satin finish on the frame, which this case would feel like normal and you really wouldn’t need any adjustment time to feel like you’re caseless.
The raised corners on the back are high enough to keep your camera lenses off of a flat surface. And this is key to knowing what you’re getting into with a bumper case. If you drop your device on a *flat* surface, you should feel confident that nothing will get damaged, and this case does give me that. But just know, if you drop it on an uneven surface, where the middle of the phone makes contact with that higher level surface, you can be sure that you more than likely cracked the rear glass. This can happen on something like a gravel path, rocks, etc. It doesn’t feel like it would plop right out the case if you do drop your phone. Feels quite snug and formed to the phone. See pics for how much lift the raised corners provide. Just enough space to keep the camera lenses off of a flat surface. Plenty of space to keep the back of the phone off of surfaces.
I like adding kickstands to my devices, and I highly recommend the kickstand from ESR! I usually am a Spigen guy, but their kickstand relies on magnets to remain closed. And if that magnet happens to fall out (which has happened to me and a few others who reviewed the product), the kickstand will remain open, as they rely on a type of spring mechanic to remain open, whereas ESR’s kickstand uses tension to stay open. This case’s rear corners give enough room to add something like a kickstand and it can still lay completely flat on a table, without having it lay uneven or to not have that rocking effect if you press down on one of the corners of your device. So that is a huge plus for mer, personally. If you like kickstands, you’ll probably feel the same way. But there is a bit of an asterisk when it comes to kickstands and Apple’s Pro model iPhones. I don’t want to get too off track, so if you have a Pro model and want a kickstand, find my review for ESR’s kickstand.
I also like adding a skin to my devices. Most full coverage cases have super tight tolerances, so if you add a skin to the back of your phone, you may realize that the case doesn’t fit as nice as it used to and as it should. That’s just due to the slight thickness of the skin and the tolerances of majority of phone cases. With a bumper case, you really don’t have to worry about that, as the back of the phone is exposed. So if you like to customize the look of your phone with a skin, you won’t need to worry if it will affect the fitment of this bumper case.
Things I don’t like:
The buttons. They are far from the worst from some other cases, but they aren’t that great either. They don’t wiggle/feel loose or anything like that, which is good. It’s just that they are slightly spongey feeling. This is because this case has pieces of a foam material that sits between the case’s buttons and the phone’s buttons. So when you press any of the buttons, it has a slight give to it before the actual buttons on the phone actuates. It’s not that big of an issue, but if you’re someone who likes that tactile feel, it will be a bit numb, at least until the foam material fully compresses and then you get that “click” or tactile press at the very end. See pics I provided to see what I’m talking about. It might be hard to tell what they are, just from the pictures, but it is foam and you can squish it from the inside of the case.
Another con, the metal frame. Because it is a matte/satin finish, it doesn’t offer the best grip to your fingers when picking up from a flat surface, mainly when face down. Once it’s in your hand though, it’s fine.
That is pretty much it for pros and cons. One thing I will note is, on some reviews of this case from this seller and other sellers, people complained about the bottom charging port portion of this case. It’s just that rubber/silicone material. It’s built like that to provide the case some give to it so you can apply the case and remove the case to your phone. It can become a weak point if you are not careful or improperly remove and insert your phone in/out of the case. My recommendation, remove/insert the top corners of the phone FIRST, gently. And then remove the entire phone/wiggle in the bottom corners evenly LAST. Do NOT fully seat one of the bottom corners first and then try to snap in the other bottom corner. This will surely put too much stress on that silicone charge port and it can lose its shape and become slightly deformed. This should keep you from stretching out the charge port opening too much.
Overall, it’s a VERY decent case for minimalists. I don’t like the look and feel of the rear corners, but that is something I’m willing to put up with for a slim and metal case, that can also lay completely flat on a desk or table without rocking. Again, this case isn’t for everyone and it’s kind of a niche option for minimalists.
Back to my Otterbox.
1. The 5g antennae cutout doesn't line up, so it interferes with the signal.
2. The silence/mute switch above the volume buttons is completely unusable when the case is on. I can't reach it at all with my finger nails - the cutout is too deep and too narrow.
I really wanted to love this case, and was hoping that after years of other reviewers mentioning these same issues back to the 12 mini, I was hoping it was fixed by now. But it's not. I'll be returning it.
Re: the product photos, I wasn't sure if I'd like the slightly raised corners (i.e. 4 stubby "feet" to protect the lenses) but they're actually quite brilliant since they not only prevent potential damage to the camera lenses (iPhone 13/14 Pro cameras protrude out the back quite substantially) but they also prevent a wobbly phone when placed on a flat surface. Also, other reviewers mentioned that the case makes the phone very slippery that makes one wonder if they're coated in Teflon, but it's no more slippery than the edges of a bare iPhone. I would argue that the slightly raised rubber lining (both front and back) helps minimize slippage.
The one issue is that the edges are slippery and not everyone will appreciate or want to risk it slipping out of fingers. Would be absolutely perfect if the edges were slightly raised or bumpy - anything but smooth.
But no. The case still has the antenna cutout below the antenna cutout on the phone, covering it almost entirely with aluminum.
