Other Using a sock as a temporary slip in case for iPhone Xs Max

[Apple_Robert]

Most of the Apple cases were sold out or pushed back to October on Apple website. I have a peel thin case coming in but that’s not till later too. I have a good 2 weeks window caseless so I am considering various options as well.

All the leather and silicone cases for the new Xs series are in stock and appear to be shipping next week. Are you across the pond?

I miss iPod socks. That is all.

LOL and some of these almost match the XR colors.

OP, thanks for a fun thread.

Yes

Since the case I want isn't being offered yet, I've decide to use a sock instead to temporarily store my phone in when going out. It's the only soft thing I can think of that will completely cover the phone.

What do you guys think?

Yes! Lol! This is hilarious

That's too bad.
I have seen some cases on Amazon that are advertised for both the iPhone X and the new iPhone Xs so I was curious.

 

[Krayzkat]

I thought the X and Xs were physically the same size, shape, and button/cut outs?

Using a sock to protect a $1000 phone?!

I meant for xs max, for me(Canada), I see delivery dates around October.

I've been using a sock instead of a "real" case since the iPhone 3. Works for me! No joke.

I would highly recommend the soft bag that comes with a bottle of Crown Royal.

I would highly recommend the soft bag that comes with a bottle of Crown Royal.

But definitely not the box that comes with a bottle of Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia.

Yes I also miss those iPod sock cases.

I still use mine, on 2nd gen iPod nanos mostly, but they stretch enough to slide an iPod touch or smaller iPhone into in a pinch, just doesn't quite cover the top half inch or so. Love those things!

the cotton in a sock is probably abrasive and will result in microscratches.

The glass they put on those things now you could skitter one face down across a blue-stone driveway and be hard pressed to prove it, no? I have mightily abused my long suffering SE for a couple years now using just a cheap pop-in soft plastic case (came in a 7-pack of jelly bean colors) with no face film... no problems. I'm the kind absent-minded enough to pop a little fossil encountered on a walk home into my pocket along with the phone, too. A hazard to the gear or else a walking ad for its build quality...

I love the Symmetry Otterbox clear cases. Protects the whole phone and buttons, fits perfect, hasn't turned yellow and you can see the color of the phone through it. We bought Clear and Stardust for our prior iPhones and they are awesome!

I’ve run out of clean socks to wear. I have 2 spare phone cases though....

I have ordered a case from Urban Armor Guard. I have loved these cases. They really protect.

I would use a pair of Duluth trading "Bullpin" briefs
