Neither did I. apparently it's new, per the best buy description (link here). Could be exclusive to bb, not sure though.
That is nice. I loved the grip series. Have two for my Pro max in blue and black
$44 is too high for me. I got both from Amazon for $15 a piece. I'll wait to see if Amazon will get em and when the prices are down.
Has anyone seen this video yet? The Mous limitless 3.0 case is not very good in the test ..

Due to the Corona outbreak I have had the last few days to read all (3981) posts in this topic. In summary, I read that the combination of the Otterbox Symmetry and Apple's leather case are the ideal combination.
Now I have just under a week Apple's silicone case and I like it so far. It is still very nice to use, feels good and protects the iPhone well. However, I do miss the premium feeling that I did have with the leather case. So after the Mous AraMax and Apple's silicone case I think I'll buy apple's black leather case. Or do I regret this? I think it is important that a case feels premium and has a good grip, is the leather case the best choice?

Rhinoshield SolidSuit - Classic Black case after two weeks:
Pros:
- I love the handling of this case. The sides are textured and provide just enough grip, but aren't sticky or clingy to pockets.
- The back is tacky (in a subtle way), doesn't show fingerprints, and provides good grip.
- I can't emphasize enough that the buttons on this case are the best I've ever used. They are tight and responsive. They feel like real buttons on the phone itself.
- The case fits extremely well to the phone, even better than any Mous case. I don't think much if any debris can get behind the case.
Cons:
- Bottom speaker/microphone cutouts are symmetrical, not a big deal, but worth noting.
- If you switch your case very frequently, get ready to wrestle when taking this one off. If you leave it on for awhile or don't plan on taking it off ever, this isn't a problem of course.
Bottom Line:
- I think this is going to be my daily driver case for the foreseeable future on both my iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max (work phone). Overall, I love the handling and the size. It provides fantastic drop protection and doesn't add a lot of bulk.
**Note: you can order this case with different textured backs. I haven't tried those. I did hear that the Classic Black case has the best grip out of all the textures though. Just an FYI**

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid is my favourite case. Not found a case to better it yet and I’m trying hard.

Just order the Clear Speck Grip. Should be here this weekend. Will report back.
Received today. Took it out of the package and the excitement was over. The GRIP part of the Speck isn’t like it is on the other cases. The raised lines are just molded into the hard plastic case. Provide ZERO additional grip and the whole case seems super slippery. Haven’t even put it on my phone. Not sure i am going to. Bummer.

Mobilereviewseh just did a review of the sheath including a drop test. 5 feet on its corner on a cinderblock. No issue. Impressive.
Yes! Finally someone drop tested the Sheath! I’d still like to see repeated drops from increasingly higher heights. Maybe he would have done more extreme testing if it wasn’t for the quarantine.
I’ve seen the naked iPhone survive drops from that height (5ft). I’m curious to see how much additional protection, if any, the case provides.
It was interesting to see, since it was 2 drops (if I remember correctly) onto a cinder block. Good to know it can withstand something.
don't ask me why, but I bought the Mous Contour case out of curiosity, because I got curious after some positive posts. And unlike the Aramax case, this case feels a lot better. more grip, and it's a lot thinner. i think it is worth trying for a week! can he beat apple silicone case?

Edit: Day 1
The Mous Contour case has been around my phone for 1 day and my findings so far are very good!
The case is super tight, no sacky bottom and feels nice and thin.
The grip is also very good, much better than the Aramax.
The only drawback so far is the pressure point on your little finger when holding your phone.
The screen protector also falls very nicely in the case, so you do not see that you are using a screen protector
Edit 2: One week later
After a week of use, I find it a difficult choice. The case just looks nice and fits tightly around the iPhone. The leather doesn't feel like leather, rather to a fabric case. After a week you will not see any signs of use yet.
but .. The grip remains dramatic and the plastic does not feel good when holding, especially your little finger. I tried another grip where the little finger is on a divider but this does not work well.
So the case goes back and the apple silicone case is back on my iPhone

These days I got my new UAG Metropolis case for my 11 Pro Max.
Usually I don’t like folio cases, but with this I’m absolutely satisfied 🙂

I have always used the Apple Leather case since the iPhone 4, however with my iPhone 11 Pro Max I went with the Spigen Liquid Air and I have no regrets. I'm also using a Spigen screen protector that fits perfect with the case.
This one?

I actually have this case as well. Just find that the back tend to wear poorly, and becomes oily looking.

I had no idea this existed! Color me intrigued.
I use the Spigen one and have a Symmetry. I think the Symmetry has better drop protection.
There’s a lot to consider.
Those graded for higher drops are obviously more likely to leave unharmed from those more likely drops. But on the same hand, those more resilient cases make the phone bulkier / heavier, which if you have smaller hands might lead to more drops. For this reason I’m rocking the Liquid Air and not, say, a Rhinoshield (which I think it’s similar to the Symmetry size-wise).
Then there’s the Caudabe Sheath, which seems to offer a better protection than the Liquid Air while still keeping a similarly thin profile
I ordered one today, on sale for $25 supposedly half price.
Brand new IPhone 11 with no case at all so I need something.
I’m sure this will meet my needs.
