I have this pic. My 7 inside my Apple Midnight Blue silicone case, inside my X Midnight Blue silicone case.
Thank you. The X is wider which is good
I will keep that in mind, I currently use one of Apple’s silicone case’s for my 7 Plus and it’s been great so I might just get another one of those, or a clear case from Amazon.
How is full coverage screen protector? will stick on the edge around? my experience is not good with 6I already brought 3 cases and 2 more on the way. Also picked up a screen protector.

depends on the brand. I used a moshi on my 6+ and while it looked/felt great, the thing cracked so easily that I wouldn't even have to drop it for it to start cracking. Just enough pressure and you'll see spider webs all over the glass.
I've used edge protection screen protectors on my iPhone 7 plus and they were excellent.
The only thing is you have to be careful with the kind of cases you use because it might not fit over the screen protector.
Makes me consider going naked. The width of the iPhone X cases I have are a little wider than feels completely comfortable. I’m sure I’ll get used to it though
I have the silver lucid clear and will be ordering the silver X. I posted the pics quoted below a few pages back. The silver has some chrome-effect lines on the back which I'm hoping will cover the E.U. regulatory info!
The logo is on the back, rather than the side as on the clear version.Use the code MacMike2017 to get a 25% discount on any Caudabe products.
The clear one has a clear back. The silver has silver ridges across the bottom 1/3 of the back.
Clear still has the caudate logo on the side (see my earlier pics)

Wow a whole collection of cases before even knowing if you get to pre-order one lol. What if the rumors are true and you can't get one till January or something?
Well I'm going to ordering exactly at 12:01am pst so I'm confident I'll have an iPhone x on November 3rd.
You and about another million people worldwide! I like your confidence tho.
Well even if I have to wait past November 3rd, at least I'll have cases ready when I do get it. Ive done this for my previous iphones. I buy all my cases before I even get the phone.

Just got my Caudabe Lucid Clear, case is great, nice and thin.
For those worried about how thin these are, I have the same case for my 6 and have dropped it countless times for the whole 3 years I've had it and it's never been damaged once, even the case shows no scratches. I was a serial case changer, couldn't stick with one for longer than 2 weeks but as soon as I used a Caudabe I've never taken it off.

Received my ringke cases - air and fusion. Comparing to the spigen they are very similar but generally slimmer.
Ringke fusion / spigen hybrid - both hard back with TPU sides. Height seems about the same but the spigen seems about 2mm wider. And considering the X is already wider than the standard iPhone that may make a difference. Also less branding on the ringke - both have a logo on the side but the ringke’s is smaller. The spigen also has ‘air cushion technology’ engraved on the top edge
Ringke air/spigen liquid crystal - again the spigen is larger - I’d estimate 75mm wide vs 73 for the ringke. Height 247mm spigen, 245mm ringke. Both feel similar but the ringke slightly softer. Spigen has air pockets in the corners but the ringke doesn’t
I think if you were going for a slim/soft case the ringke air may be a good option - assuming you want as slim as possible. If you want a hybrid with a hard back then both ringke and spigen seem pretty close

At that price, it may 'yellow' after a couple of weeks

I have 5 now
And they’re all basically the same - different variations of slim clear cases. Some TPU, some hybrid, some polycarbonate. They’re cheap enough that I just want to feel them in my own hands as they can be such a personal thing
they will unless there is a black camera ring around the camera cutout, from my experience in the past.
