    Hey forumites :) I have just joined the XR owners club. I upgraded from a iPhone 6 I am generally very happy. But oddly, my wrists seem not to be! After only two days of use, they feel sore. It could be coincidence, but I feel it is more likely the phone. Questions - (1) Do I need to adjust...

    Case suggestion for iPhone XR

    With apple’s cases nowhere to be found I’m forced to look elsewhere. I’m looking at the caudabe’s sheath case. Anyone with this case around here? Would you recommend it? Any other case recommendations? It would great if you could post a picture of your XR in a case.
