Picked up this case tonight. Truly surprised as over all never been terribly thrilled with Insignia branded stuff. Good hard back, fantastic buttons and good lip on front. Dang solid case for the monies.

Like the blue Tech 21 case myself.

I had a red silicone on my 6 and it looked great. I’ve now ordered a ProductRed 11 and am now thinking do I return it and buy a black one instead?
Or will a silicone case for the 11 hide ALL of the red? In which case, that’s a result.
The silicon case will hide most of it, but not the square around the rear cameras nor the bottom edge with the speakers/mic/lightening connector. I spent ages in the Apple store looking at the red 11, as it's the best colour, but decided to go with the white as I realised only a clear case would work with the red one, and I want to keep my options open. I've never used a clear case before, only the saddle brown Apple leather one. I don't even think black would work well with the red 11 but I'm not sure.

My phone hasn't arrived yet but I've ordered three cheap cases from Amazon, including a clear - I'll take photos of them all once they and the phone arrives.

It’s not too late for me to return the phone so might consider going for black instead.

which clear case did you go for on yours?

Yeah I have that ultra thin one too, it’s similar to a Peel or what not. Like it too but sides kind of loose. Hard to explain. Back on it scratched super easy.
I kinda figured it would t be the greatest! Oh well. I have the Spigen Liquid Air and love it.

Contour leather case is going back to amazon for refund. Case is too slippery and after reading reviews online I don’t think this case will protect the phone as advertised.
What reviews are you referring to? Every review I’ve seen touts how drop protective the contour and limitless cases are...

The same as a apple leather case. I find that mous cases are always a bit slippery. This one is the same. I have ordered the black speckled one that is supposed to be a rougher leather texture.

I just got mine in. The texture on the back is rougher which I like. The sides aren’t that grippy but it’s.... decent. Good enough for me to want to test drive it for a few days.

The in hand feel is definitely better than the Limitless 2.0. Would almost consider the 3.0 but I’m sure none of them have a back that’s this texture, which means it’s probably slippery.

Overall I like the size as well. Definitely slimmer than what I remember of the 2.0 on my XS Max.

Only thing now is the green looks a little off with the black speckled. I don’t really care... lol. I’ll post some pics once I get my wife’s phone to take pics.

Got the Otterbox Symmetry in black for my 11 Pro Max. One pleasant surprise is that it finally works with the Apple lightning dock unlike all previous Otterbox Symmetry models. Probably also going to pick up an Apple Leather and possibly the clear case if it early reviews are positive.

Also got the Symmetry...usually always go back to this case. Just feels the best in my hand. Also noticed on the new cases, OtterBox seems to have really improved the grip.

Horween! It wears beautifully, but scratches easily, which I like. That’s what real leather does. The Active will smell and feel a bit different than Horween leather according to Youtube reviews, like:

However, it might be better if you will get it wet often.
How's the grip on the sides for the Nomad? Thx.

It’s good. I really like the squared edges and the TPU has a nice grip. Another case I used for a few weeks is the RhinoShield SolidSuit, which is a bar of soap (compared to the Rugged) in my opinion.

Has anyone else tried the Evutec for the 11? I’m wondering if I got a defective one or if they really did change the coating.

Sorry not sure if above or what. Planning to get Evutec just haven’t had a chance yet. What’s different about it over previous though?

(This weekend been using this silly hard backed case from Insignia; really liking it for $20 so far)

The back just feels a lot slicker than the one for the XS. Comparing them side by side there’s a marked difference. I thought it was me but my wife noticed the same thing.
