I've got a silicone one coming this week hopefully that was around the same price. I'll hope for the best.
I got the blue Mujjo leather case and I love it. It's thin enough to not add bulk but still adds protection. The only thing I didn't love when I got it was how the leather is wrinkled/wrapped around the top corners, but I got used to it.
The cases I've gotten from good brands that I spent $25+ on are this one, the Caudabe Sheath, and the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. The Sheath is great, but was just very plain looking for me. I liked how the Spigen Ultra Hybrid looked and the clickiness of the buttons was fantastic, but it added a little too much bulk which got annoying.
I've gotten a good handful of "Apple" silicone ones from Amazon and AliExpress, which are more than fine for the price I paid for them. Some are better than others....the mold lines on a couple are pretty bad, but the texture feels really great and smooth. Another one I got was a great blue/green color and didn't really have mold lines, but the texture after a couple weeks got REALLY rubbery which was annoying.

I have a Spigen Air Skin, Nillkin Textured Case, Roar Jelly Black/Gray, Roar Rico Armor.
I have to say my favourites are the Roar cases, I can recommend them. They are a korean brand, fairly cheap but high in quality. They also have some nice colours on the Jelly cases.

I am considering the Caudabe Sheath. Since I got the XR last December I have been using a Tech21 case that may have been exclusive to Best Buy. Part of a series of Liberty of London prints. Mine is clear with a pale white paisley design on the back and it looks very nice with the black phone. But the case is not really grippy - tho the sides have gotten sort of sticky over time.
I can’t decide between the Caudabe colors. I read one post here that said the cobalt was darker than the photo on the website. Does anyone have experience with the camo? I am trying to decide whether to go with my usual black or get a color.

Hi, I have the sheath now for ... 5 months almost 6 I love it a lot.
I also have the veil xt, but you never know if the phone takes a bump so I only use the sheath
Anyone have a favorite not super bulky card case? The only thing keeping me from upgrading is a case. I have the Spigen Flip Armor for my 7 and I can’t find something even close for the XR.
I need it to hold 2-3 cards (somewhat discreetly) and not be butt ugly. Help.

Still not found the perfect case. I keep thinking I’ve found it then something starts to annoy me about it.
The Ringke air would be perfect only there’s zero drop protection. And it’s starting to yellow despite being in rotation with like 12 other cases. I ordered a Rinkge Fusion but it’s like a bar of soap. The Fusion X is nice but it’s left a ring where it presses into the glass for the camera cut out.
The spigen liquid crystal is nice but no dot matrix so rainbow effect and finger print magnet.
All I want is a clear case that offers some drop protection. No fingerprint magnet/rainbow effect.

What about their slim Armor CS?
I have an XR and use a Mujjo Leather Wallet Case. I see that Amazon currently have a 23% off sale on it.
See here:

It also holds 2-3 cards - tho' not hidden as discreetly as the Spigen cases.
Have also tried the Silk Kung Fu and the Caudabe Sheath on my XR.
But, Mujjo won the day for me. It's made with precision and attention to detail. And Leather feels so good (unless you're a strict vegan, that is).

Ringke fusion X
I have one of those. Left a mark where the camera cut out is. So keep an eye!
It’s left a ring imprint on the glass of the back of the phone where it circles the camera cut out
I bought the SecondSkin Zero which is basically a wrap for mine because I didn't want another bulky case, especially with the XR looking so good. I can barely notice it's on but I just hope when I do inevitably drop it it survives. If it wasn't for that I would probably have bought Apple's if it wasn't so god damn expensive.

I ordered that on a whim because there was a 60% off promo and it’s literally perfect. Everything I’ve been looking for in a case.

saw this reddit post, and a comment from OP with link to ebay listing... giving a Cosmos Blue a try for $7, will be in rotation
I hope it turns out as clean as the guy's cocoa.

Bullstrap leather cases are amazing for the XR. Only 5 colors to choose from but they look great in person and are as good quality wise, if not better than the Apple leather cases.
