5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent case for the price point

After purchasing a $60 clear case for my new iPhone 12 Mini, it took only a week for one of the side buttons to control volume to fall off, rendering it useless. I also hated the way it looked against the red phone. I wasn’t looking forward to case-shopping because although I need my phone I am not glued to it. Took a chance on this one because the price was right, and so glad I did! Reasons I would recommend:
1- Material. It feels like brushed rubber, and it allows for an excellent grip. Phone doesn’t slide on surfaces and even grips well to car dashboard. I haven’t found this friction an issue when pulling the phone in and out of pockets like others seem to have. Works perfectly for me.
2 - I have only had it a month so may well be too early to say, but for less than $20 this case has held up well and looks brand new. I’m famously bad with my phone, dropping it, scuffing it, etc. and there are no marks at all.
3 - screen lip. This is a simple but nice feature where the screen is inset to a slight lip. For someone who drips their phone as much as I do (even with a screen protector!) this is useful.
4 - looks. Usually my least concerning criteria, but this is a good looking case. Simple, nice curved edges, and the red colour - although not an exact match - is vibrant and at a slight shade bolder than the phone it compliments great (you can only see the camera housing area of the phone on the back). In conjunction with the style of the mini the whole unit is giving me stylish 80s vibes and I am loving it!
Very good quality for less than $20 Canadian. Recommended.
