REALLY like this case. The leather is soft and has a much more "leathery" smell than the Apple leather cases I've had and the buttons are VERY tactile. I also prefer the silver buttons over the matching ones on Apples cases. The issue I have (and why I'm considering returning it) is the bottom left corner not wrapping all the way around the edge as can be seen in the first picture.

Bought a Caudabe Synthesis and like it, but it the back is not nearly as see through as I thought it would be. Was hoping to see a little of my XR Red through the back but it just looks like an all-black case. I just ordered a UAG Plasma Ice and hopefully that will show off more of the red.

Received my UAG Plasma Ice case and this is the one I'll be sticking with. It's a clear case with drop protection that is NOT a fingerprint magnet. . The areas on the back with the hexagons are smooth and I love how the red also shows through the long side of the phone as well. The top is solid black and the bottom just has cutouts for the speaker and connector, but they're big enough that you see plenty of the XR color there too.

Is it just me or everyone feels that the Apple leather cases are slick as grease. Boy! I tried the Apple Leather case for an iPhone 8 and it's really slippery. The leather case was in use for more than a year now, so it definitely has nothing to do with the case not been broken in. Maybe it's my hands, I don't know, but have been using Apple Silicone cases and I feel they are much better with regards to grip.

But for my Xr, I've already placed an order for both the Sena and Mujjo leather cases and I'm really starting to question my decision. Would all the leather cases have slippery feeling in general? Anyway this can be improved.

Just got my official Apple iPhone XR Clear Case. Kinda disappointed. It's bulky and a fingerprint magnet. The grip and feel is pretty good, but I don't like how it looks. Maybe that's why they only show the back view on the website. I've never tried a clear case before now, and can't say I'll ever try one again. Going to return it. Really wish Apple had made a leather case for the XR.

Someone who has had TPU cases and TPU side/polycarbonate back cases, is this one any different material wise?

I've heard its stiffer than standard all TPU cases,

The thing I hate about clear cases is the sides...if they made the borders black (or a color to match the side of the phone) I would like it. But the sides all around the bezel look like glass and I don’t like it.

I’m currently using a Bellroy Leather Case and it’s great!
