I’m really interested in the Apple clear case this year. I have a silicone case on my XS and it is just now showing signs of wear despite constant usage for the entire year. Has anyone gotten one of the clear cases from Apple? Thoughts?

love the carbon fiber. but they always lack of front protection.

It’s actually Aramid fiber, but yeah definitely no front protection. I’m very careful with my phones, have AppleCare, love minimalist cases, and use the MagMount, so it works perfect for me personally.

This or the Pitaka Air Case.

I’d love to try the Air, but I use the MagMount, and the Air doesn’t have the metal plates built in.

I don’t use the MagMount.

Air Case 9g/0.60mm vs. MagCase 14g/0.85mm. Doesn’t seem like a big difference on paper, but probably feels like it in the hand.

Agreed. And the MagCase for the XS is 0.65mm, so new MagCase is slightly thicker than that as well.

Thanotech k11 bumper. Wonder whether my old ones will fit? The 5.8" iPhone 11 pro is about half a millimeter larger in every dimension then the xs.

How good is that? Where you got it? They send you free?

I also have apple care, but I prefer rugged case like otterbox and ArmadilloTek Case.

Did they
Just put the Speck Presidio pro carbon in my amazon cart. 13 foot drop protection for $30 and they finally have the asymmetrical cutouts. :D
Have they made another carbon model before? I bought the pro version that says it ships 9/15 am Amazon.

The regular pro is almost too slippery. The ink models are way too slippery.

Curious about if this one has any texture
