iPhone 12 Series

What colour is yours?

Sounds pretty bad if taking off a case causes hairline scratches

Pacific Blue

tbh the cases are also quite tight

Spigen Ultra Hybrid/Liquid Crystal

I have to fit 3 corners in then at the last corner, press really hard to get it to fit.. poor corner
pretty sure if you keep taking in and out and use the same corner, the paint will come off

Taking it out is equally hard.. I cannot believe how tight they made the case fit ffs

Can use autosol to remove minor scratches

Only works on the white one as it does not have the PVD coating

maybe should change to the white one so can buff

What are the devices which support both 5G NSA network (already launched) & 5G SA network (to be launched in early 2021)?
The current devices which support both 5G NSA & 5G SA network are Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G, Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G, Samsung Z Galaxy Fold2, Galaxy S20 FE, Huawei P40 Pro 5G. However, the devices which support only 5G NSA and don’t support 5G SA network are iPhone 12/iPhone 12Pro.

Any thoughts?

what is 5G SA?

Ultra Hybrid is my choice of cases for previous iPhones.

I used to take it off now and then to clean off the dust trapped in the case without any scratches on the phone.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid and Liquid crystal is TPU material at the sides, not PU, also will cause scratches by abrasion to the PVD steel material?

If psaj plastic PU material remove in and out, even more worse.

TPU is as case friendly as silicone and leather material. Surprised how easy it can cause scratches.

quite sure PSAJ will do you in

I inspected it against strong LED light for 10 mins when I first received it - totally 0 microscratches, smooth surface

Just took out just now to change case and inspected it against the same light, got a few scratches around the phone lol

Maybe because I use tissue wipe? but cannot be the coating so cui until tissue paper/dust is rougher than it?

aiya also depends on how anal you are when seeing, you need to inspect it against direct light/sunlight to see it

but tbh I don't really care about these scratches/dings anymore - confirm got scratches one way or the other when you use it long enough

A too-yellow or un-uniform screen however..

also will cause scratches by abrasion to the PVD steel material?

btw the PVD coating is only microns thin over the stainless steel

they should have used a harder - DLC coating but guess too expensive

hi5! haha thought I was too rough or putting/taking my case wrong (I was gentle af)

how ah bro changing to Silver so can polish or just embrace the microscratches on the still-gorgeous Pacific Blue?

dam jialet the coating used this year
remove PLASTIC case also can microscratch

those using without case confirm will peel their Pacific Blue coating after a month or even weeks of use

tbh just prepare for the worse ba..

don't be surprised if one day you take your case out to beo your beautiful shiny phone de sides and realise it has some microscratches from dk where because the coating really cmi

I bet with you if you gave me any random person's iPhone 12 Pro right now, I can shine flash and find microscratch(es) on their phone

--

Side note, I changed from the horrible Spigen Crystal Hybrid to Liquid Crystal and the buttons are day and night man, so easy to click now compared to the stiff and non-tactile buttons on the Crystal Hybrid

AW6 graphite stainless steel is using DLC.
