Are we like a startup funding committee for all these new case companies round here? Poster above, again, brand new member, one post and coincidentally advertising his “favorite “ like the feller above him. Color me stupid but... ‍♂️
No doubt. It’s starting to junk up this formerly useful thread...

Switching gears here-I finally decided to pick up the Flash yellow Apple Silicone case, and see that both that and the Spicy Orange are unavailable now.

I can’t remember, are these “seasonal” colors issued in a limited run? Hope not, I really dug that yellow.

Yes. It was like how they had camellia and two other colors for a limited time and then discontinued them. I had a feeling that the yellow and orange weren’t going to stick around. Guess your best option now is to see if any body is selling it online.

True. Sadly, the counterfeit Apple case companies have really infiltrated eBay and Amazon. I don’t think any vendors other than Apple sell those colors either...dangit.

I have the flash yellow. Don’t wear it often but it’s a attention getter for sure. I wanted that orange but never got round to it

Yep and if you want any other colors, better be quick to grab them too. I am sure there is going to be a refresh of new colors with spring coming up hence why they’re starting to discontinue these.

I just chatted with an Apple associate. She states the Spicy Orange and Flash Yellow for iPhone X will be available again soon, they are sold out due to extreme high demand. She suggested to keep checking the website everyday for stock.

I should have bought the Spicy Orange case while it was available. I have the Spicy Orange Silicone watch band and I'm in love with it.

I know this post is a few weeks old, but how is the case keeping up? Does this case offer decent drop protection?

Seems fine to me. I haven't dropped it in any serious way. But the case still looks good and seems to be providing good protection.

Alright, thanks! I am trying to decide between the Nomad Rugged and Native Union CLIC Wooden. Do you think the Native Union case would protect the phone when dropped from over 1 meter?

Yeah I think it’d be fine depending on how it fell.

If you’re that paranoid, I suppose you could get something stronger. I’d say it is a case for style and every day protection.

Case identification time folks. X files. A spigen case?

I’m having a hard time knowing if the bottom is exposed or not but if it’s indeed exposed then it’s probably the Spigen Thin Fit case. And the (clearly visible) Spigen logo back up my claim.

Also I’m not sure if it is the person finger or an Apple logo cutout in the middle top of the case but if it’s the latter then it could be the Spigen Thin Fit A case which is the same as the one I mentioned before except it have an Apple logo cutout.

Absolutely mate. Haven’t heard anything good about screen yet BUT it was on sale and we’re going on a cruise this summer so... ‍♂️

I'm seeing a bunch of brand new LifeProof Fre cases for the X on eBay, some starting as low as $20. For $20, I'd pick one up for those occasions where this type of case may be required, but I'd rather not get stuck with a fake.

I keep following on amazon and the prices keep dropping. Have to say...the colors are not great. Not a fan of the lime green

I'm not a fan of the colors, either. I'm currently using the Incipio Dual Pro and am very happy with it, but wouldn't mind having something with 360 protection for outdoors activities.

Agreed, but when they advertise 100% Authentic Guaranteed or your money back. If I wasn’t satisfied with my purchase, it was going back!

Is there any way to verify authenticity, like a code that can be checked on LifeProof's website?

my wife just price matched it for me at target. I will be trying it out later. Not taking off my glass SP though

Let us know what you think. I keep seeing negative reviews of the screen protector.

Well, lifeproof’s website says there should be a white sticker on the inside of the case, but my case doesn’t have one... lol, if in fact the case I bought is a knock off, it’s a damn good one! But I guess I won’t be putting it through the water test... lol... I’m gonna keep it anyway, it will be fine for what I will be using for!
