When Apple announced that they were releasing the latest iPhone 12 in the colour purple, a lot of friends separately messaged me about it.
Purple is my favourite colour and I’m very obvious about that, so my friends usually know this.
Unfortunately I had already bought the iPhone 12 last year. Why wasn’t that colour available then? I got stuck with white instead.
But it’s not such a big deal actually, because it still is a purple phone, thanks to its case which I bought from Burga.
I sat on the decision for weeks, actually. I was torn between two brands – Casetify or Burga. I ended up choosing Burga because I fell in love with their Golden Taupe design which is also available as a matching airpods pro case. No design compares in Casetify. And besides, Casetify is also a lot more expensive. I think for the price of one Casetify phone case you can already get a phone case and an airpods case from Burga.
I chose the Tough Case which offers double layer protection compared to the Snap case which is slim and lightweight. The case literally comes with double pieces – a black silicone-like case which serves as an inner layer to the outer thin case with the gorgeous design. It’s still not that bulky despite that, though.
I think it really does a good job of protecting because I have dropped my phone a few times, even on concrete floors, but it hasn’t cracked at all.
In fact just today, I laid my phone on top of the toilet bowl tank and it somehow ended up sliding behind the tank and landing with a loud clatter on the tiled bathroom floor, then got wedged between the tank and the wall. It was not at all easy to find it, but I somehow managed to fish it out with a pair of tongs. 😅
As for the Airpods case, I honestly can’t tell if you even need that, but I have to say they look really cuter as a set. I also really like the ring it comes with. I slip my Airpods on to my finger using that and it’s easier to carry that way because we women usually don’t have pockets on our clothes.
I’m really happy I decided to buy these! And oh yes, also the iPhone of course! The camera quality between the iPhone 12 and my old iPhone 7 is so dramatic, especially the front facing cams. Compare these two pics:
The iPhone 12 takes such good photos that I don’t even bring out my clunky mirrorless camera anymore. Most of my blog’s photos from last year onwards were taken with a phone.
I don’t even remember where my camera is that’s why the photo of my phone and airpods were taken in front of a mirror which I then flipped. Maybe it’s not as great as an actual camera pic but it’ll do!
