The wait’s over: iPhone 12 Pro Max is in hand, now buy it a cool case

Check out these iPhone 12 cases from Apple, ARMOR-X, OtterBox, and more. You’ll also find cool iPhone 12 accessories.

First-adopters were anxiously waiting this weekend for UPS to deliver their new iPhone 12 Max. Relieved that their enviable smartphone is literally in hand, it’s time to look for a new case.

After much speculation–and despite the lack of 120Hz high-refresh display some were hoping for–the general consensus about the four iPhone 12 models is a good one. Anticipation was not only high amongst first adopters and avid Apple users, but amongst third-party manufacturers, which have already produced iPhone 12 accessories, including a multitude of cases. Here’s a look at a few that are available to outfit your iPhone 12 kit.

The Portland has an electroplated interior shell and an interior card pocket has been included. The Blake is made from the same leather which is used to upholster Bentleys. It has an inner card pocket and either a brass or a gunmetal finish electroplated surround, and a snapback feature.

For the sophisticate: Here’s something slightly different, a case that’s also a crossbody iPhone 12 (for all models) holder. It comes in black leather with either gold, pewter or silver colored accents. This one comes with a side slot for ID, credit cards, etc. Perfect for (when we’re able to start) going out, running into a shop, or for perusing estate sales which don’t allow you to bring a bag, “just a wallet.” Price varies depending on the type of phone.
