Having spent the last few weeks using the Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G phone case (Black 07), I’m ready to share my in-depth review. This case promises a slim profile, excellent protection, and lasting clarity, a trifecta many cases fail to achieve. Does it deliver?

The Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G case is a hybrid design, combining a soft TPU bumper with a hard, clear acrylic back. This combination aims to provide drop protection without adding unnecessary bulk. The case snugly fits the phone, providing easy access to all ports and buttons. The integrated camera cover is a notable feature, providing dedicated protection for the camera lenses. The advertised yellowing resistance is a key selling point that will be examined closely in the long-term.

In terms of protection, this case has performed admirably. I’ve accidentally dropped my phone a few times (nothing major, mind you!), and the case has absorbed the impact effectively, preventing any damage to the phone itself. The buttons remain responsive, and the clear back maintains its clarity; there’s no noticeable yellowing after several weeks of use. The raised edges do a good job of protecting the screen and camera lenses when placed face down. However, it’s worth mentioning that this isn’t a rugged case; it’s designed for everyday protection against minor bumps and scratches, not significant drops or impacts.

The slim profile is a definite plus. The case doesn’t add much bulk to the phone, making it comfortable to hold and use. The TPU bumper provides a good grip, preventing accidental slips. The transparency is another strong point; it showcases the phone’s design without obscuring it.

One minor issue I observed is that while the case is generally easy to clean, fingerprints tend to accumulate on the acrylic back. This is a common problem with clear cases, but it’s worth noting. However, I must say that this was less of an issue than with some other clear cases I have used.

Pros:

• Slim and lightweight design
• Excellent protection against minor drops and scratches
• Clear back showcases the phone’s design
• Responsive buttons and precise cutouts
• Integrated camera protection
• Good grip
• Minimal yellowing (so far)

Cons:

• Prone to fingerprints
• Not suitable for extreme drops or impacts

Overall, the Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G phone case (Black 07) is a solid choice for those seeking a balance between protection and a slim profile. It offers good protection against everyday wear and tear, and the clear back allows the phone’s design to shine through. While it might not be suitable for users who need heavy-duty protection, it’s an excellent option for daily use. I’d happily recommend this case to anyone looking for a stylish and practical way to protect their Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G.
