Granted, it's not the most stylish phone case, but it does a good job at protecting your iPhone from dents, knocks, and scratches. In fact, it's passed military-grade standard tests, coupled with Air Cushion Technology, to ensure your phone doesn't get damaged through daily use or occasional accidents.
While there isn't much choice in terms of colors or design, the Spigen Tough Armor is definitely worth investing in if you're looking for a basic iPhone 12 Pro Max phone case that's easy to install and comfortable to hold.

Protecting your iPhone 12 Pro Max is what matters, and the Spigen Tough Armor case has been designed to achieve just this.
There's a lot going on in this little package, including military-grade standard testing, anti-shock protection, and dual layers to keep your phone looking in mint condition.
But, hidden away in its sleek black design, you'll soon appreciate the added extra—a built-in kickstand for hands-free viewing on your iPhone, making this a great choice when searching for the best iPhone 12 Pro Max cases for your phone.
Hardwearing Design
Despite its name, the Spigen Tough Armor iPhone 12 Pro Max case is surprisingly lightweight and slim. It adds just 0.16 inches of thickness when installed on your iPhone, making it a great choice for people who don't want a bulky phone case.
The flexible interior is soft and ensures your phone doesn't get scratched while inside the case, while the exterior is durable and features impact foam for shock absorption.
Spigen prides itself on durability, and this can be seen in how the Tough Armor case has been designed. The Air Cushion Technology protects the corners of your iPhone 12 Pro Max from becoming damaged if dropped. They feel solid and when pushed, are hard to bend.
Like the Apple Silicone case, the only exposed areas are the Lightning port, speakers, and Silent/Call switch, which all look to be aligned correctly when the case is on the phone. However, getting the case on your iPhone 12 Pro Max can be a little fiddly and requires a bit of adjusting before it's spot on.
The Kickstand
Being able to prop your phone up is definitely a feature that some users appreciate. It makes it far more convenient to watch content on your phone, take video calls, or scroll through recipes.
The built-in kickstand on the Spigen Tough Armor case is easy to pop out with your fingers, however, it does feel pretty flimsy and you're able to bend it with a little force. It's also possible to angle the kickstand which isn't supposed to happen, nor is it a feature of this case.
But, if you're gentle, once the kickstand is in position, it does hold the phone sturdily and offers a good horizontal angle.
Durability and Protection
According to Spigen, this case has passed military-grade standard tests. What this means is that the Spigen Tough Armor has been put through various iterations of testing to simulate certain conditions like shock and vibration.
Before being installed on your iPhone, the case feels light and the hard back can even be removed (though I'm not sure why you'd want to do that). However, once it's on, it certainly feels durable, scratch-resistant, and protective.
The power and volume buttons are responsive and easy to press but feel like they have enough padding should you drop your phone. And, without feeling too bulky, the case does a great job at stopping the camera lenses from protruding out of the case, ensuring they don't get scratched or damaged.
A Tough Case to Beat
If you're not fussed about being able to charge your iPhone using a MagSafe charger, then the Spigen Tough Armor makes for a solid choice.
Spigen is a big name in the phone case market, and there's clearly a reason for that, which has been displayed in this affordable iPhone 12 Pro Max case.
