Ordered the Carbon Fiber Monarch case from UAG and they shipped it from Hong Kong and it took 15 days to arrive. This case has the thin, loose, saggy bottom like most Monarch cases have. Emailed UAG and after emailing them a couple of pictures they sent me a brand new replacement Carbon Fiber Monarch case which shipped from the US and arrived in a couple of days.
The bottom on this new case is not as loose and saggy as the first one (still not perfect) but the carbon fiber is 100 times nicer looking on this replacement case. This case really pops and is off the charts in the looks department. I like it ! The packaging has also been updated with the iPhone X marking instead of iPhone 2017

Here's some pictures of the new and old case side by side.
that bottom lip is one of my gripes with UAG. Their plyo doesn't have it, but suffers its own issues

Just purchased this bumper for my Silver X. It is made of aluminum and TPU and is my favorite "case" so far. It is the Ranvoo Bumper Frame for the iPhone X:

Ordered what I thought was a skin that fitted the iPhone X in an retro anniversary design;

This is what I got:

couple of pieces of 3M stick on material! for $25.

I have made two refund requests from Slickwraps so far, the first one was 2 hours after I got the package in the mail, no response yet, so buyer beware of what you are getting. No way was I going us a stick-on on my new $1000 phone! I can imagine what the edges and corners would look like after a week of taking in and out of my pocket.

Could someone recommend a case (if there is one) similar to Caudabe Veil XT but that's more transparent?
I have the Veil XT black but it just closes to much of the back of the phone and I would really like to see that gorgeus glas back a bit more. Don't understand why are there no similar MATTE clear cases...

Also wondering if someone has their Veil XT Frost case on a Space Grey X?

Here you go:https://www.caudabe.com/products/lucid-clear-iphone-x

I bought it about 3 weeks ago and it has been fantastic.

Pretty sad that they copied our 10th anniversary skins and charge $25 when ours are $6! Blatant rip off, ours were even featured at BGR over a year ago... https://www.grfxp.com/search?q=10th+anniversary

Verizon is shipping the Lifeproof FRE case for the iPhone X in the black/neon green color (Night Lite) now.

Ordered one up and I'll let everyone know how bad it sucks once it arrives here. :eek:

Thoughts on the Otterbox Symmetry vs Otterbox Statement?

Statement is form (slippery finger magnet clear plastic)
Symmetry is form and function (pleasantly textured back and sturdy feeling)

Now if there was a frosted textured Statement (kinda like the frosted see-thru back of the Otterbox Symmetry Hybrid for iPad Pro 9.7”, which by the way disappeared from Otterbox site), I could see me using it, but then it wouldn’t be a “statement” (frosted looks dull)...

Someone help me!

This is after returning countless others and i will probably end up returning most of these too.

First of all decide if you’re an open bottom kinda guy or not (I see an intruder on the left) :)

My Caudabe cases are coming soon (the first shipment went missing before even reaching USPS international hub, never left North America, and Caudabe was kind enough as a “one time exception” to ship the cases again at their expense, this time with FedEx)...wonder how they will feel compared to my supremely solid and substantial (a bit on the bulky and heavy side though) Otterbox Symmetry...

Hello!

Anyone has both Tech21 Evo Check and Evo Elite for the iPhone X? Could you share your thoughts on which one would be the better choice and why?

I’m looking at those two cases for my silver iPhone X and can’t decide which one to get...

Just received a nearly identical bumper from grfxp.com that I’m using together with my faux leather skin from dBrand. I just put it on yesterday and I already dropped it from about 6 ft (not intentionally) and it survived with just a couple of bruises. I’ll be using it about a week or so and then plan on uploading an informational video about it on my YouTube channel, “TECH-FIGHTER”. Here’s a few quick pics.

Haha I’ve been trying to decide which way to go for a while now. I can tell you the Caudabe is going to feel extremely thin, light and fragile compared to the symmetry. I’ve tried the symmetry in store and like you said it feels rock solid. The caudabe surprises me in how thin and light it feels every time I put it on.

Speck grip case is on sale for 50% off. $20 at Best Buy. I was just able to price match at target as well. Great deal in my opinion. Case is extra grippy (duh) has 10ft claimed drop protection and has the best buttons of any case I’ve used. I really like the design too and the good raised lip.

Totally agreed. I have 3 colors for my X. Best case out there imo.

Surprisingly saw it on a random shelf in TJ Maxx. Didn’t see any other color though unfortunately.

Will have to pay my local TJ Maxx a visit tomorrow. I found one from a seller on Amazon. Price is a little above retail I think so I may give it some time. Strange that the Speck website doesn’t even mention them. Nice find!
