Best iPhone X Cases [MERGED]

[walds11]

I have the Caudabe Lucid Clear for my iPhone 7. Just thought I’d chime in and give some feedback. I don’t notice any rocking of the phone, when it’s laid down in a flat surface. The case has very good clarity and also provides good grip. It’s also pretty easy to install and remove. Compared to the Sheath, the grip and and feel of the case is much better (to me). The sandpaper feel of the Sheath sometimes bothers me, especially when my hands are dry.

I have noticed two things that have me slightly considering whether or not to keep it.

1. It does allow dust and small particles into the case, mostly through the camera cut out. I think it’s probably the nature of harder materials. They don’t create as much of a seal with the phone. I have better results with the sheath on this front.

2. I have noticed a couple scratches and a good bit of micro-scratches on the case, which is making me question the scratch resistant coating they claim on it. I saw the same thing with tech21’s impact clear case, which is made of the same material. I think I can live with it, as long as it doesn’t end up looking awful.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m going to pass on Caudabe cases for now. Gonna stick with my good old standby Apple silicone case and Magpul Field Case (hopefully they don’t take forever to release it). I’m also going up give the ThanoTech K11 Bumper a try.

I like it! Having exposed buttons means reaching for them will be easier on the wider X.

If only it didn’t have a bump around the camera!

I think it lays flat on the table though

I bought the Elago Open Button case

I like the look of this case. For $10 I’m going to give it a try. Thanks for posting.

You're welcome!

Though...we're going to have to wait a month before we can actually try the case lol

I bought this one as a temporary case, in the event that my case of choice (Lifeproof Next) is not available at the time I receive the X.

Feeling adventurous. Thinking about going with Caudabe's Veil XT for the X. The only thing that bugs me is that the Veil XT doesn't offer coverage for the side buttons.... I've never used an iPhone case without button coverage...

Going by the pics, it looks like there’s a small ridge around the camera.

Most people probably won’t mind that, but I like a flat back on my case.

Let us know how it is when you get it. Is it shipping now or when the phone’s released?

Oh, I just checked the Elago website for that specific case and the last photo shows that the camera ridge is raised so it won't touch the table.

But I've also asked on amazon if the case lays flat on its back, so I'll update you if I get a response!

I ordered it and it’ll arrive tomorrow. I’ll post an update then. Too bad I won’t have anything to place in it tomorrow.

Yeah I understand the ridge & it's purpose of protecting the camera. This is common in very thin cases.

But my main gripe is it causes a ridge-bump, so the phone won't lay flat on a surface.

I'd rather a case be slightly thicker, so the depth of the ridge is matched/eliminated by the thickness of the case, therefore resulting in a flat back.

Who bought bumpies in the past. Are they good.

I had the Utomic bumpies for a couple of my past iPhones. They do work nicely and seem to protect the device. I never actually dropped my phone so I don't really know. My problem is I follow threads like this one and end up buying a few cases. The bumpies are no good after removal. If I only bought them and didnt see all the other cool looking cases, Im sure I would have been happy. Buy them and then stop looking at this forum and you'll be good.

ooh nice!! i hope they come out soon. It says sold out on the site, but i don't think they even put them for sale yet.

Im going to try to not use a case this time around, because im getting apple care.

Re: Magpul Field Case for iPhone X:

I just received an email from Magpul that the Magpul Galaxy S8 Field Case is now shipping. The Galaxy S8 was released on 4/21/2017, so do the math

 

[Ntombi]

I’m not a case person, but I might try these corner bumpers just to see how they feel. I like the idea of a tiny bit of protection, but I HATE using cases or skins.

Apple will not give the specs of the phone to Magpul so they can be ready at release. Magpul literally has to purchase a phone and take measurements. So it will be well after release.

Why are they so late to the game? It’s obviously not Apple’s fault alone, if their case for the S8 is only just shipping?

Cases are not their core business, this is why it takes so long for them to come out with new design cases.

Very interested in your thoughts after you've tried these.

I like slim, minimalist cases that offer lay on table protection on both front & back.

Spotted these weeks ago & was very curious. Might hunt down some YT vids now!

 

[walds11]

In the past, Magpul released the new field cases about three months after the new iPhone release. For the iPhone 7/7+, it was about six months. I’m not sure why there was such the long delay on the last release...?

I remember when I got my Nexus 5, I wrote them if they planning to release case for it. They said they are working on it. If I am not mistaken, it took them more then 6 months to release it. Just received email from them saying that iPhone 8 and 8+ cases ares shipping, and they even joke that new case looks the same as case for 7/7+ because it is the same case.

It also took them almost six months to release the field case for the Galaxy S8 as well.

Right, the 7/7+ is the same case as the 8/8+. The only thing I can think of is they may have changed the description on the box and inside of the case to reflect 7/7+ and 8/8+. But still!

Like many have stated, phone cases are not Magpul’s core business, so they take their time. They also don’t get the device specs ahead of time like many case manufacturers.

The Torras Love Series in Midnight Blue. Nice Apple Silicone replacement. Available from Amazon.

[doublepost=1507329125][/doublepost]

[doublepost=1506823775][/doublepost]This has to be one of the ugliest cases I have ever seen, you completely destroy the asthectics of the iphone X, you should just get an Android phone and bury it in that case

I wish it was matte white, like previous iterations. I use this case while on my road bike in case a douche runs into me.

Nice. Is that yours in the photos? Have you used this case on prior devices?

Amazon doesn't ship to my region

Btw, here's another similar model...
iPhone X Case, iPhone 10 Case, MeanLove Liquid Silicone Gel Rubber Case Cover with Soft Microfiber Cloth Lining Cushion for Apple iPhone X (2017 Release) (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075F33PFF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_QVi2zb4P5X151

The picture showing the soft, stretched sides doesn't impress me though - those sides should be stiff, not rubbery & flexible.

Still, they don't ship to me area either....
