I posted this in the main U.K. order thread but I’ll post here to as some people may not see it there.

Personally I think the official Apple clear case is over priced for what you get. You can get clear cases by other brands which are just as good if not in some cases better for a fraction of the price. I’ve decided to go with the 11 Pro Max version of the one I currently use with my Xs Max. Granted all clear cases eventually go yellow as has mine and so will the Apple one but for the cost of a cheaper but just as good third party case you can justify a replacement.

That one has served me well along with the full coverage glass screen protector by the same brand as I’ve dropped my current iPhone several times. It has a hard “glass” back which offers great protection.

That’s exactly what I thought about the Apple clear case. So I bought a clear case from Amazon for $12. It’s the same one I have on my XS Max right now and it’s great. It’s the Spigen liquid crystal case.

Picked up a green apple leather case today, and I have an ESR glass case coming. If I know myself right a saddle brown leather case will also appear before long..

Just picked up a black Presidio grip from Best Buy. They finally got the speaker grills correct. Great case.
My Grips supposed to be here tomorrow. What color phone? Black case and green phone. Not sure how I'm going to feel.

I’ll be using another an impact case from casetify. It’s thin and protects, just a little pricey, but I like the personalizations. It takes about 2 weeks to receive so I’ll be using the bootleg version from amazon until I get it.
Cool, thx for the tip. I ordered one customized with my name. Have you dropped these from heights of about 4-5 feet? If so, do they do a good job in protecting the phone?

I’m back and since I’m upgrading this year, it’s time for another thread for all of us case addicts out there. Those who are getting the 11, 11 Pro/Max, share your case(s) that you are planning on getting! Of course the phone hasn’t launched yet, but as time goes on and as we discover more cases, we can share them all here.

Starting off with the Apple silicone in Alaskan blue.. I’m sure that won’t be the only case I get. :D

I ordered the Apple clear case and the UAG Plyo case. Same price, going to see which I like more and probably return one.

I have dropped it so many times from waist level and even on concrete (!) and it’s held up. My daughter’s, on the other hand, she has a caudabe lucid, never dropped before it had a hairline crack on the camera lens. I’ll be sticking to the casetify case.

Do you like those cases? I have just bought one for my future iPhone 11 Pro in MNGreen and I believe it will be good to show the color. Do you have pictures of your previous iPhones in it? :)

Yeah I just bought one from ringke on eBay for 8.99 last Friday lol.

Check my Xs max, that’s one year of use... and the 8 plus is from 2 years ago. it pretty much holds its color. It doesn’t color as fast not like the others who turns yellow right away.

I ordered the Apple clear case for Midnight Green 11 Pro Max, but I’ve pretty much been using apple leather cases. I just wasn’t sure about color and I had to look at my phone to remember what color I ordered last year. The leather case brown or green may be in my future.
