For the past few weeks, I’ve been putting the Liquid Air (ACS01701) case for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro through its paces. This matte black case promises durable flexibility, shock absorption, and military-grade drop protection – all while maintaining compatibility with wireless charging. But does it deliver on these lofty promises? Let’s dive in.

The Liquid Air case boasts several key features. Its TPU construction feels surprisingly robust while remaining flexible enough for easy installation and removal. The advertised “Air Cushion Technology” is evident in the slightly raised corners, designed to absorb impact from drops. The matte black finish is sleek and, importantly, fingerprint-resistant – a definite plus for maintaining a clean look.

The slim profile doesn’t add significant bulk to the iPhone, which is a huge win. And the compatibility with wireless charging is a non-negotiable feature for many, myself included, and it works flawlessly.

I subjected the Liquid Air case to a series of (controlled) drops, bumps, and scrapes. It consistently protected my iPhone from minor damage. While I wouldn’t recommend throwing your phone around recklessly, the case certainly provides a significant level of protection against everyday mishaps. The grip is excellent, and the case never felt slippery, even in sweaty hands. Wireless charging worked perfectly consistently.

However, I did notice a minor trade-off. The case, while slim, isn’t the absolute slimmest on the market. It adds a small amount of thickness, which some users might find negligible, while others may prefer an even more minimalist option.

Pros:

• Excellent drop protection
• Comfortable grip
• Fingerprint-resistant matte finish
• Wireless charging compatible
• Durable and flexible TPU material

Cons:

• Adds a small amount of bulk compared to some other cases
• Limited color options (at least at the time of this review)

Overall, the Liquid Air (ACS01701) case for iPhone 12 and 12 Pro is a solid choice. It delivers on its promise of robust protection, comfortable grip, and wireless charging compatibility. The minor addition of bulk is a small price to pay for the peace of mind it offers. I would wholeheartedly recommend this case to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish protective case for their iPhone 12 or 12 Pro.
