Best iPhone X Cases [MERGED]

Anyone got the Camo Sheath? These cases just feel like the phone is moulded in with grip, fits like a glove best way i can explain it. Not tight around edges but not loose/saggy, only have play if you do it, never any problem with normal use.
I dropped my original X Sheath from 1m on timber floor no probs. With bottom protection i would say as good or better than Apple leather/silicone, I had a 7 plus dint on the bottom with a Apple leather, fell on my car seat rail.

Long wait down under for my classic.
 
So I bought a couple of these from AliExpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/for...r-iphone-6-8-7-Plus-X-Luxury/32862327230.html

The Red one with red border is interesting, it looks like the (PRODUCT)RED for iPhone X that Apple didn't make, it even includes the Apple logo and "iPhone" branding on the back! The back bit is hefty as it extends beyond the camera area and on the outside it looks like a glass back. I also got the "Gold" one but with the silver border and not as "warm" color, doesn't look right.

The thickness is about the same as my Apple Leather Case, except the official one has more of a lip around the front. How do I know? Because I also bought this:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/6D-...lus-X-Glass-Screen-Protector/32863489978.html

It's rather thick, and while the edges are not rounded off, it fits perfectly with the above case and makes it virtually seamless as you swipe or run your finger along where the tempered glass meets the case. It's so seamless there's no lip around it, while the Apple Leather Case does give you a little. Because Apple's case is "open" along the bottom edge, this makes the tempered glass edge a little more abrupt and not as smooth to the touch. If I used the cheaper case however, no lip means there's more of a chance the tempered glass will cop any drop.

It's an interesting combination — almost like holding the X naked, but adding a little bulk all around for "protection".

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a slim, not bulky, iPhone X card case that can hold 2-3 cards.
Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Apple's Leather Folio case is perfect, if a little expensive.

There are a bunch on amazon that look like clones of the apple case for much cheaper.

So are these sticky in your pocket?

No they are actually not, it feels like regular plastic. If you press a bit hard it will slightly sink in but return to it's normal shape.

It's almost like magic how they stick to walls. It would probably be useful when in the morning when I'm brushing my teeth and watching vlogs.

Has it ever fell off a “wall”? That’s my biggest fear. Only takes one drop to crack the screen.
 
Got a Black Apple leather folio off ebay for a good buy, just under half price, wasn't sure i would like it but it's excellent, best leather case i have had, very soft leather, much nicer than the twelve south my wife has, love how screen opens with front and no problem with calls.
 
I've been using Apple Silicon cases for the longest time! I have a UAG and a clear Spigen (hard). They aren't that bulky but much heavier than I like.
 
Tired of the bulk of the Tech 21 clear case. It offers great protection but I hardly ever drop my iPhone X. Never really ever dropped any of my iPhones to tell the truth. I went with Tech 21 because it was discounted heavily at Best Buy back when.

ESR slim clear light case ordered today. Over 2000 reviews on Amazon and very positive, that is good enough for me.
 
My iPhone X had a nasty face down fall as I was taking it out of my pocket yesterday. I held my breath picking it up and it was fine. Caudabe Sheath has impressed me!

Meanwhile, my wife just cracked her iPhone 7+ screen for the third time. It was in a Rhinoshield Mod too. Crack in the upper right corner that you can see but she said she can't feel it. I can't wait to swap her phone in the fall so I can put AppleCare on it. And maybe a glass screen protector.

I just got the Spigen Liquid Crystal iPhone X case yesterday in Matte Black and am pretty disappointed by it. I have the same case for my iPhone 7+ and that one is thinner and lighter. Also, as touted by the clear versions of this case on the same listing page, I figured the inside would be smooth or those tiny micro-dots. But instead, it has a thick tough-armor like pattern which I'm assuming adds to the thickness and weight.

Is caudabe sheath safe from drop? Tempting to get as for thier thickness.

Anyway, anyone got recommendation for slim ( not bulky ) but drop safe?

I think they sent you a Liquid Armor instead. Does it have a diamond/triangle pattern on the back?
