I've been using a Totalee frosted clear case for a couple of months now. I like the fact that it's super thin and doesn't really change the overall form of the X, but after pulling it off today, as I sit at my desk, I'm reminded just how good the X feels in hand without a case on it. Not sure I can live without something protecting the back glass - especially given the fact that two months in and my screen has several significant scratches (that I'll get fixed at some point through AppleCare+).

Have you all seen the Zagg Luxe 360? It's front and back glass. I like the concept and I love their front screens. I'm afraid of a $70 investment without hearing someone else's experience... and then having to buy a bumper. Thoughts anyone?

$70 is ludicrous. Cheap back glass is ~$10 on amazon and after trying/using(not abusing) several premium tempered glass the only one I can consciously recommend is the ~$12 iCarez on Amazon with install tray. Practically edge to edge but still VERY case compatible.

iCarez [Full Coverage Tempered Glass + Tray Installation] Screen Protector for iPhone X 5.8 Inch (Case Friendly) Highest Quality Easy Install [ 2-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077NVK2R4?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I’ve heard this is a excellent back glass, however no experience myself...

PATCHWORKS iPhone X Screen Protector, ITG 9H Rear Back Glass Made in Japan Maximum Strength Anti, Scratch Anti, Fingerprint Oleophobic Coated Tempered Glass Screen Protector iPhone X/10 - 0.4 mm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0784VRP56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ylFMAb4B60BR1

I do like a couple of Patchwork’s cases but Zagg wanting ~$70 is ludicrous. Their warranty is NICE but I find their products lackluster myself at the price points. YMMV ‍♂️

I have no issue in the price - if it's a good product

For the substantial increase in price over its much more affordable counterparts it isn’t the equal part in “that much better”. It isn’t $50 better undoubtedly. It looks functions and acts the same. No worse, and arguably no better.

The point was it is not a good product at $70.

iCarez is so much better. I would never buy a protector that did not cover the camera/sensor area. Have had the iCarez for a while. Perfect look, no loss of recognition.

These fat edge protectors are all the same. The take a great deal of effort to get the bubble out and are not edge to edge as they all indicate. The back glass on white looks like caulk. They could have done a better job to match the white.

Bet you could have used the tray front and back. Thick glass is not an advantage. ICarez still wins.

I've seen the video. I was curious if anyone had it out in the wild

Ok so I just saw this video. I have and absolutely love the iCarez 2.5 and can’t fathom this Zagg being 7 times better at that ridiculous price point but I’m curious. I have access to one of these protectors for half price so I might give it a go just to make a comparison video. Then again even at $35 I’m not sure it’s worth it.

That's pretty cool. I like apple case now, lol.

Wished apple made made a few different designs themselves. (Like some disney inspired apple cases....they are a corporate partner. much like how they include those in the watch faces)

I just found it on amazon and put it in my cart.

When we go to the parks in July, I’ll see what else they have.

Disney Store at Disney Springs has started getting some of the Otterbox cases in, but they are pretty limited right now. If I remember, I’ll try to snap some pics this weekend if we make it down again.
