So how did the clear apple cases stand up to dirt etc? I’ve had 3rd party ones in the past but they really attracted dirt on the inside which the became visible.

Thinking the Forest Green leather for the Pro Max in Green. Can’t fault the leather cases for protection from past phones. However they do seem to get grubby quickly, anybody have experience with the Apple silicone cases?

The leather cases do patina over time, yes, but some find that as part of the appeal. I don't. :) I am a die hard Apple Silicone case user. I stay away from the lighter colors because they do darken from the oils on your fingers, but I've had great luck with the darker colors. They start off feeling a little dry and almost textured, just grippy enough, and over time they wear down super smooth and nice. I did have one on my X that started to peel after months of use, and I brought it in to the Apple store intending to just buy a new case to replace it, and they replaced it for free.

It’s a nice case with a good grip. My only concern is it turning yellow on my over time.

How is the form factor? Similar to Apple silicone or leather cases?

I’ve read on the forums that it does not turn yellow over time.

It feels the same. I can’t see a difference other than the larger cut out for the camera.

Already bought the Apple Clear case and the brown leather but will probably end up using the Pitaka case.

Spigen Tough Armor worked nice on my XS Max. Going to go with the same for 11 Pro Max. Are the screen protectors the same size as last years XS models? I bought a pack of 3 screen protectors for the XS Max, so I still have 2 left over.

Just bought the Pro Max Clear Case. I always get the silicone case, but decided to try something new. And I like how you can see the phone (possibly getting green color for phone), while the regular cases just covers it up.

My clear and green cases arrived just now. Can't decide if the clear one will. just pull in a load of dirt and it will be horrible after a week of in and out of pockets.

I also get AppleCare+ and never use it.. so considering naked and just dealing with mishaps when they happen (but will change my mind no doubt 100 times before the phone arrives!)

Annoying Apple have only released two silicone cases and a clear case for iPhone 11. No leather cases at all :( I love my blue leather case on my X and wanted to have a blue leather case for the iPhone 11...

Comparison of my X vs 11 pro brown cases. Was concerned the ‘saddle’ brown case was too light. It is...

Are the apple leather cases still slippery as f$%#? I tried a couple on my iPhone 7 and ended up not using any of them because of the lack of grip. Are the new cases better in this regard?
