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?
Feels the same as usual but they always break in when the waxy layers wear down

My armadillotek vanguard will be here today and my tech21 evocheck will be here tomorrow. Evidently they greatly improved the buttons. Now just need the phone

Anyone seen any clear frosted cases? I had one for my X but I can’t find it and don’t remember the brand.

Got my armadillo tek in. Very sturdy. There are definite differences between the 11 pro max and XS max as it doesn’t sit well in it.

If I decide to get the 11 Pro Max, I’ll probably get the Zizo Bolt. I like this case and have used one on 6S Plus and XS Max.

Long thread is long.

I'm going to peruse through the posts slowly. But in the meantime, does anyone have any recommendations for something non-folio with a stand for horizontal video watching (streaming sport etc) that works flawlessly with NFC and wireless charging?

From what I've read, most cases with stands are either too thick to work with wireless charging, or have metal bits in them that interfere. Either that, or they're folio cases.

If anyone responds with a ****** / google search link, please note that I've asked for recommendations, not just what exists. Google searches can provide suggestions and examples mostly based on who has the best SEO. But I'm hoping for recommendations.

I want to get the clear case as I'm getting Midnight green which looks so cool I wanna show it off a bit, but is the Apple one at $40 that much better than say Spigen at $14? Seems like a crazy difference. Previously I had gone Leather so I didn't mind spending more, but this seems like a wide difference for plastic.

‘The Zizo Bolt case I noted earlier (post #111) has a built in stand. Personally I think it’s a little flimsy, but have certainly used it. No metal bits. It’s supposed to work with wireless charging but I’ve never tried it.

How good are first generation cases with built in screen protectors nowadays? Whenever I bought a first gen Otterbox, the screen protector always made tapping the screen harder - especially the corners.

I just ordered the Totallee thin case (clear). Hopefully it’s the same quality as their XS Max cases!

What's the best clear case for the Pro Max? I'd like a slight lip so the front of the screen doesn't touch a table if I have it face down. And would like all around protection on the sides.
