This is what I currently have. Adds some flair, but keeps it clean. Has a matte finish translucent back as well.
Here you go :) Accidentally ordered a mint green one but it still worked out and don’t mind the blue green look. https://www.amazon.ca/elago-Hybrid-Clear-Compatible-iPhone/dp/B08HJ5149S/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=elago+iphone+12+case&qid=1619215231&sprefix=elago+iphone&sr=8-4
This will happen often with the White/Silver version of the iPhone 12 Pro, if you put on a case that doesn’t have a microfiber insert.
Silicon/Leather cases usually have a microfiber insert to trap dirt/debris, & prevent them from scratching your gorgeous iPhone. Here’s a link for an iPhone 12 Pro Max;

I use these. Sits very well on me screen. No air bubbles and sensitivity is same as without protection.
For a while I was using one of these with a pop socket but in my case I had a Spigen Magsafe case.

Oh and it held really really well as long as you didn’t slide it off.
So first you get some HomeKit smart plugs, either from Vocolinc or Meross. Wemo is overpriced.
Connect them in Apple Home app, no third party app needed. I usually connect them all to scenes as "Wireless Chargers Off" and "Wireless Chargers On"
Go to the Apple Shortcuts app (may have to download it), then Automations tab
Create new automation, prerequisite "Battery Level", put "Rises above 80%"/"Falls Below 40%, and in the Actions, Put a shortcut from the Home app that will "Set Wireless Chargers Off/On"
I would absolutely go for Miracase over anyone else. It's as good as you are going to get quality wise. I'm using the red one on my iPhone 12 right now. MUCH better fit than ESR:
​
after searching for clear cases that were's slippery as a bar of soap since the Mini came out last fall, I finally stumbled across this case and couldn't be happier:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DKD1L2H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and its only four bucks! My phone lays flat.
I thought I remembered Ghostek making frosted cases in the past. Can't seem to find one, now.
Check out this one from ESR...

I have this Invisible Defender by Ringke tempered glass with black borders https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JWSXJWQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for my purple 12, so, it's only been on for two weeks. Dry install. Easy to reinstall. I'd say make sure it's mainly centered so it fits within the lip of cases. It's oleophobic and not overly slippery/tacky so screen presses are still accurate.
(I love Ringke cases too.)
Out of all clear cases I have tried, I like this the most. https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Quartz-Hybrid-Designed-iPhone/dp/B08BGDDRBH/ Nice clicky buttons and the back is tempered glass so it’s easy to clean, stays clear, and doesn’t scratch. The have the ultra hybrid with MagSafe but on that one the buttons are flat and I don’t like that. The quartz hybrid is the one to get between those two. I have had it since November and so far no yellowing.

I bought a generic brand silicon case from amazon about 1 tenth of the price and in my opinion it has a much better feel and better look than the apple branded ones, also i dropped my iphone 12 down a flight of stairs and the iphone came off fine, not sure i would have had the same experience with an apple one.
Heres the link to the one i bought but im pretty sure the off brand ones are all mostly the same.
I got this one for my 13pro. You forget it’s there. No feeling difference. No bubbles. Seriously ridiculously easy to apply.

Certainly got a metal protector for that camera bump. Don't buy cheap plastic ones that cover up the camera lens like this but rather buy a metal protector that doesn't cover any of the camera lens, much like this one.
I use the metal protector all the time since I scratched mine 2 months after owning the phone.

I got the Magsafe Casekoo one and its been pretty great. I got the Red 12, so I didn't want to cover that up. The MagSafe part works well, works with the puck and my MagSafe Car mount.
I went with this one and so far very happy. Doesn’t yellow, super slim, and doesn’t distort the color of the phone too much:

Wait which clear case? The Apple one? I have the clear magsafe case from Casekoo and it looks pretty red to me.
Idk if I’m just lucky, but I bought these cheap ass screen protectors off of Amazon and I’ve had it on my phone since I bought it (about 6 months) not a single bubble. Here they are
Alternatively the LaterCase screen protectors are AMAZING. Best I’ve ever used! I gave mine to my husband for his 12 Pro, they’re immaculate. 100% would recommend. I just didn’t get them for me because I’m cheap.
You want color or clear? I really like apple leather. Apple silicone is good if your like the (I do not like the feel of them.) Clear ask like spivey liquid crystal which is thin, protective, and smoother than silicone. I have survived many drops with the Spigen and they are about $11 on Amazon which is good because you’ll need to replace it in 6 months due to yellowing (all clear TPU yellows.)
I’m using a SpigenSpigen Magsafe Hybrid (mainly for the magnetic ring) but it’s a tad bit bulky unlike the liquid crystal.

That’s the one I use along with the rhino shield one, I switch between the two. This one is much more slim, but the metal framing might make it harder to grip for some, I personally don’t find it harder to grip. And as far as protection I’ve dropped my iPhone X on concrete before and it was fine, the bumper took the damage, so I felt comfortable getting it for my 12
Admittedly I got mine at Five Below so I think the brand is called Aconic but it’s actually pretty good imo. They sell similar ones on Amazon too (if you’re going to buy on Amazon I’ll recommend something more like the Benks or the Focuses 3-Pack )
I recommend getting a spigen tempered glass screen protector

They all seem to leave a little space but this one seems the best so far. It also comes with a protector for camera. I go back and forth between case and careless so I always like a little extra protection.

I honestly have never bought a case from Apple. I am definitely biased in that regard, so keep that in mind! I find the cases sold by Apple just overly expensive and not really looking like they protect much.
I had a Spigen for my 8 Plus and it was honestly amazing. I didn’t find it felt slippery and it had a stand built it which made it great for viewing shows when you don’t want to watch at an angle.
For my 12 Pro Max I have been rocking a Poetic Revolution. It only cost me about $22-25 ish bucks (Canadian) and while I have only been using it for a few days and have not dropped my phone I have no doubt it will do it’s job well.
I honestly think that you’re better off getting a cheaper case, while the Apple cases might look nicer you can get some better quality cases for far less. I will link you the case I got (Canadian link) on Amazon. It’s a great buy and seems like a really solid product.

yeah speck's clear cases are usually really good, i initially wanted to get one for my 12 but i tried on multiple at the store and for some reason the buttons on all of them were insanely hard to press. i was saying the new speck candyshell cases are super slippery and have a weird soft touch material that looks grimy after a day, rather than the older ones which are glossy and have some decent grip.
I use this case and it’s very good if you’re into clear cases.
The ESR screen protector is very good. It covers the entire screen so you don’t notice it’s there.
I returned mine and bought this instead, the quality it identical and actually offers better screen protection as the raised lip is slightly larger. Unless you need the magsafe connection this might be worth a try.

I uncase during most if the day, but when cased up for an extended time, say an entire weekend, I do remove the device and clean the case... mainly because the clear case is a finger print/dust magnet. So maybe in your case a more minimal case is best. This one shows off the color and sharp edges of the new design. I’ve owned this brand for my last three phones and find it didn’t yellow as mush as my clear Spige cases. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H5WLXD8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_egI4Fb4VTCG4P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I’m using this one. Super thin. Probably offers no drop protection so beware. Haven’t tested with MagSafe yet. TOZO Compatible for iPhone 12 Case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GS2285G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_AMH4FbQME9QQC
I highly recommend the amFilm OneTouch glass screen protector. It's pretty magical seeing it line it up perfectly; took one minute for the whole process and really took a lot of the headache out. Touch and screen display also look and feel great.
They kinda have a lot variations too besides the Black Dragon one. Check them out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LTW8Y4C/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_fabc_p7V2FbJR1SMEY?psc=1
I guess the Apple logos might look better on certain variations and not the others!
Like this maybe? iWALK Wireless Power Bank 5000mAh, Mini Portable Charger by Sticking to Phone, Compatible with iPhone 12/12 Mini/Pro Max/11/11 Pro/SE 2/X/XS/XS MAX/8 and Samsung S20/S9/S9+/S10/Note 20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CDH7571/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1ZH2FbY97NXTC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I bought TechMatte amfilm temppered glass screen protector and its pretty good. Got it from amazon and was pretty easy to apply. Totally recommend it.

Does anyone know of a more...legit... product than this one? Seems like an awesome idea but no reviews on Amazon yet. Amazon link
I’ve had a lot of luck with TORRAS but they don’t seem to make a silicone case for the 12 line, or at least not yet. Miracase has also been good to me though, and SURPHY is also solid.
Target also has a good silicone case called Heyday :)

This is the best screen protector I have ever bought, you don’t even notice it’s there. 100% recommend it.

Anyone have used this case?
Spigen Neo Hybrid Designed for iPhone 12 Pro Max Case (2020) - Satin Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KRW2ZXW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_.gP0FbF853VM5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
That’s what I have.
I’m loving this Spigen case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BGCRLCD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_RLr0FbQV0SX6W?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. Its lightweight, thin, fairly cheap, grippy, and not a fingerprint/oil magnet
Hahaha in that case... this case shows off the phone design and color nicely on my PB 12 Pro Max https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H5WLXD8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_tcKZFb1QXT0VH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Not a dumb question. It took me a while to figure out and I'm not sure this is the best and only method.
Apple Home Kit smart outlets (I gave up on Wemo, they always lose connection.) set up on HomeKit with my AppleTV as the 'hub'.Use iPhone Shortcuts App to set up personal automation to trigger when the battery level exceeds 75%. The action it takes is to "control home" and toggle the smart switch. Pretty simple, actually if you have HomeKit set up.
The charger is plugged into the smart outlet.
I also have a trigger at 45% to toggle it back on (else I'll manually turn it back on when I need to.)
I have to control the switch at my desk and my nightstand. I put the phone on at night and it shuts off at 76%.
I can give you more details if you're interested.
I learned some of this from /r/shortcuts

Compliments the squared design, grippy and matte finish looks good on the 12PM
