Not only are these cases super cute, but they re also protective. The back of the case is a hard PC (polycarbonate) plastic, while the bumper is a firm but flexible TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). These materials maximize protection without bulkiness, so the case maintains a pretty slim profile. The iPhone mini s diminutive size actually makes many cases surprisingly hard to remove, which is a pet peeve of mine. But this case is easy to put on and take off. The edges are not slippery, so I feel I have a firm grip on my iPhone.
Wireless charging works just fine. This includes Apple s MagSafe charger, though you don t get quite the satisfying click that you do with a naked iPhone 12 or a MagSafe-specific case.

As a long-time OtterBox fan, I had to have the Figura case from the moment I saw it on the Apple website. In the past, I ve purchased OtterBox cases purely for protection, but this time I wanted the case more for its good looks. The artistic, painterly feel of the design is a far cry from the heavy-duty, bulky look we usually see from OtterBox. This case is meant to protect the phone and look good doing it.
Despite its elegant appearance, the Figura series still provides substantial drop protection for the iPhone, from corners to screen to camera. And let s not forget the built-in MagSafe compatibility! This aspect was important to me since MagSafe is perhaps the most innovative feature with the iPhone 12. I m looking forward to exploring the different ways I can use this feature.
