I wonder how the clear or matte finish cases are going to look with the iPhone 11 Pro being a matte finish itself.
 
Debating between the Pitaka Magcase Pro, Caudabe Sheath, or the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. What do you guys think?
 
Caudabe Synthesis Gray. Good choice?

Apple leather cases are very thin.
You think so? I’ve always gotten the leather cases but they seem to substantially bulk up the phone. I’m considering a third party case this time around as I’m going to try the max and want to keep case bulk to the minimum.

Going to go with this I think. Hopefully is a nice complement to the midnight green.

These types of sleeves are such pain because there’s no place to hold the phone while trying to drag out. I’ve bought many and have returned. Major issues if you use public transport.

Bought a basic clear silicone case for the first few weeks (Purple 11).

Has anyone tried the Elago silicone cases on Amazon? Would be grateful for an opinion as to quality.

Normally buy an Apple leather or silicone case every year, but as they've apparently decided not to make any for the 11...
 
Think I will try this cheapo till some good ones com available.


Otter box back in the day had something like this, I had it for my iPhone 6 and they don’t make it anymore. I wish they still made it. I use a portfolio one and I’m just not a fan of it. I hate carrying wallets too.

I used a very similar one for my X. It's alright, there's plenty of space to be able to get the phone out. I've used sleeves on every phone I've owned. They are a compromise, but one that I like as it means the phone's protected on the go but I can still use it caseless.
 
I wonder how the scratching is?

I have one on my Gold XS Max for the last year and I work in a mining construction environment... there are signs of use but I'm hard on the case... the edges have raised bits so the front is perfect and the camera lens' are always protected because the corners are raised a slight but on both sides... best case I've ever used...

The phone is pristine like the moment it came out of the box though... which is the main thing

I have been using a Spigen Slim Armor wallet case on my 8 Plus for two years and love it. The Max Plus is backordered right now but I’m definitely getting it again.

I am the same. Had a solid leather sleeve for my iPhone 6 but since then it has been a struggle for me to find a really good one for the plus / max models. This year I’ve gone back to the traditional smaller size. I’m hoping the sleeve I used for the 6 will fit the new 5.8 inch Pro. Fingers crossed

iPhone 6 -
Height - 5.44 inches
Width - 2.64 inches

iPhone 11 Pro -
Height - 5.67 inches
Width - 2.81 inches

If it doesn’t fit the existing sleeve then I’ll just rock it naked with screen protectors on the front and back glass panel.
